A professionally remastered release capturing David Bowie’s 1987 Glass Spider Tour stop at the Olympic Stadium, Montreal, performed before 80,000 fans. This broadcast recording—sourced from the legendary King Biscuit Flower Hour—presents Bowie at his most theatrical, delivering a sweeping set drawn from across his then 20‑album career.
While the Glass Spider Tour divided critics for its spectacle, the musical performance is powerful, polished, and full of energy. Bowie moves between Never Let Me Down–era material, classic hits, and deep cuts, supported by a world‑class band including Peter Frampton and Carlos Alomar.
This edition includes liner notes, rare photos, and a vibrant retro‑styled package design typical of Protus archival releases.
