The "EARTHLING" era opened up new horizons as it turned 50 years old. A video work that allows you to experience the scene in the highest quality has been decided to be released. What is recorded in this work is “London performance on August 11, 1997”. This is a superb audience shot taken at the traditional venue "Shepherd's Bush Empire", which had a history of over 90 years at the time. Speaking of “Shepherd’s Bush Empire in 1997”, it is also familiar with the masterpiece live album “SHEPHERD’S BUSH EMPIRE 1997 2ND NIGHT”, but this work is a concert that is the day before. The biggest point of this work is its wonderful quality, but first of all it is the show position. Let’s take a look at the overall picture of “EARTHLING TOUR 1997”. ・May 17th - June 5th: Warm-up gig (4 performances) ・June 7th - August 14th: Europe (46 performances) ←★Here★ ・September 6th - October 23rd: North America (29 performances) October 31st - November 7th: South America (5 performances) This is Bowie's 50-year-old world tour. The “European” leg is roughly the first half of the continental version and the second half of the British version, and the London performance of this work was also the final stage, which was the 44th performance. And the quality of vacuum-packing such a night is amazing. This is a new excavation master that has appeared very recently, and although it is an audience shot as a type, it would be more appropriate to call it a "stakeholder shot." This is a somewhat distant view from the rear seats on the first floor, but the viewpoint is high and almost the same as Bowie on stage. The raised arms of the spectators do not act as an obstruction, and Bowie can be seen directly over the heads of the audience in front. Moreover, the sense of stability is amazing. Although the details of the situation are not known, there is no doubt that a tripod was used, judging from the height of the viewpoint and the slightly choppy camera work. Given the spectacular view and the sense of stability, I can't help but think that this is a shot of the people involved in setting up the venue. Even more overwhelming is the master freshness. Although it is a period analog video shoot, there is no visible deterioration over time, and there is no tape twist or white line noise. A light show based on blue dances, and the rays of light are beautiful, from the fine outlines to the clear gradations that get sucked into the darkness. It is vivid even to modern eyes accustomed to digital technology, and the scene from 20 years ago is brought back to life exactly as it was. And audio. This is also extremely powerful and on. Although there is a distance in the sight, Bowie's singing voice and performance jump straight to the hand without any obstructions. Because it is so powerful, there is distortion at the peak of the deep bass, so it is not as good as "SHEPHERD'S BUSH EMPIRE 1997 2ND NIGHT", but the beat that boldly incorporates drum'n'bass/jungle is a powerful sound that will shake your heart and soul. Bowie's adventurous spirit, which does not wither at the age of 50, is depicted with such quality. 7 out of 10 songs from the new album “EARTHLING” at that time were also played on a large scale, and the dynamism was greater than the album. The sensual groove unique to live performance is overwhelming, and it is sprinkled with plenty of rock-ness. The classics revived in this ensemble are also fresh. The content is roughly similar to "SHEPHERD'S BUSH EMPIRE 1997 2ND NIGHT", but the one that stands out is "V-2 Schneider". Of course, it is a number from "HEROES", but the first time this song was played on stage was on "EARTHLING TOUR", 20 years later. You can witness the songs that could not be heard even on the press CD's definitive edition "SHEPHERD'S BUSH EMPIRE 1997 2ND NIGHT" in a moving form. Unfortunately, “EARTHLING TOUR 1997” was not recorded officially and there was no performance in Japan. This is a masterpiece video that allows you to experience the full show live in the finest scenery. What's more, the site is called "Shepherd's Bush Empire" with only 2,000 people. This is a piece where you can meet Bowie, who placed himself in that space and continued to challenge new sounds. Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London 11th August 1997 AMAZING SHOT 1. Intro 2.
