Bonus Episode of The Heart of Markness Classic Rock Podcast
“It’s not the side effects from the cocaine. I’m thinking that it must be love”
David Bowie struggled a bit in the late 80’s/90’s, in a comparative sense, after the stratospheric success of Let’s Dance with the MTV generation. In the tour he is partnered with King Crimson/Zappa alum Adrian Belew, with whom Bowie had recorded Pretty Pink Rose (a minor hit and an awesome song).
On July 23, 1990 the band played Hartford, CT. This is the show we’re listening to in this bonus episode. I play Ashes to Ashes, Pretty Pink Rose, & Station to Station. It’s a very high energy gig and Belew’s signature sound really suits the material.
