Sound + Vision Tour

A back catalog as substantial and significant as Bowie’s might feel like a burden in regards to live performance. In 1990, he decided he wanted to start over. The proposed solution was the Sound + Vision Tour, in which he would temporarily break from Tin Machine to play his hits for the last time in order to put the past to rest. Bowie adopted a sort of classical appearance for the tour, wearing a black vest over a billowy, frilly shirt. Unusually, he re-used this outfit again in the music video for Adrian Belew’s song “Pretty Pink Rose”, a song that Bowie wrote and contributed vocals for.
