Critics at the time were not always kind, but heard now, the music stands up remarkably well, and the band is formidable, with Peter Frampton and Carlos Alomar trading guitar lines throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe show opens with a spoken intro rolling into Up The Hill Backwards before Glass Spider itself unfolds, all dramatic build and stadium-sized atmosphere. Absolute Beginners is a highlight, warm and wistful under the lights, while a muscular Loving The Alien shows how well the newer material translated live. Deeper cuts like All The Madmen and Sons Of The Silent Age sit beside Heroes, Fame and Let's Dance, making this a broad tour through Bowie's catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is big, bold and unapologetically eighties, a document of an artist willing to gamble on scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors filling in the live chapters of Bowie's story, this is the definitive record of that tour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499445035313,"sku":"5021732853455","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/David_Bowie-Glass_Spider_Live_Montreal_87_2CD_07a24bcd-0708-4f23-8113-7db9c445db31.jpg?v=1794507917","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/david-bowie-glass-spider-live-montreal-87-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
