David Bowie 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour

David Bowie on stage during the 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour Tour by David Bowie Associated album Let’s Dance Start date 18 May 1983 End date 8 December 1983 Legs 8 Shows 96

The David Bowie Serious Moonlight Tour was thus far Bowie’s longest, largest and most successful concert tour. The tour opened at the Vorst Forest Nationaal, Brussels, on 18 May 1983 and ended in the Hong Kong Coliseum on 8 December 1983; 16 countries visited, 96 performances, and over 2.6M tickets sold. The tour garnered mostly favorable reviews from the press.

Tour development Bowie himself had a hand in the set design for the tour, which included giant columns (affectionately referred to as “condoms”) as well as a large moon and a giant hand. Some of the musicians from his 1978 tour were re-hired for this tour, including Carlos Alomar, who was the band leader for the tour. Earl Slick was drafted as guitarist a few days before the commencement of the tour due to problems with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s management demanding a contract renegotiation. The band rehearsed for the tour in Dallas, Texas. Each band member wore a costume which was designed “down to the smallest detail.” Two sets of each person’s costumes were made and worn on alternate nights, and everyone got to keep one set at the conclusion of the tour as a souvenir. One song that was on the rehearsal’s song list that never actually got to the rehearsal stage was “Across the Universe,” which Bowie had covered in 1975 on his Young Americans album.

Tour performances Earl Slick November 1983 during the Serious Moonlight Tour On 30 June 1983 the performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London was a charity show for the Brixton Neighbourhood Community Association in the presence of Princess Michael of Kent. The 13 July 1983 Montreal Forum performance was recorded and broadcast on American FM Radio and other radio stations worldwide. The concert on 12 September in Vancouver was recorded for the concert video Serious Moonlight, that was released in 1984 and on DVD in 2006. At the Canadian National Exhibition Stadium – Toronto, ON performance on 4 September 1983, Bowie introduced onstage special guest, Mick Ronson, who borrowed Earl Slick’s guitar and performed “The Jean Genie” with Bowie and band. Mick had only been asked to play the day before, and he later recalled: I was playing Slick’s guitar … I had heard Slick play solos all night so I decided not to play solos and I just went out and thrashed the guitar. I really thrashed the guitar, I was waving the guitar above my head and all sorts of things. It was funny afterwards because David said, ‘You should have seen [Earl Slick’s] face…’ meaning he looked petrified. I had his prize guitar and I was swinging it around my head and Slick’s going ‘Waaaa… watch my guitar’, you know. I was banging into it and it was going round my head. Poor Slick. I mean, I didn’t know it was his special guitar, I just thought it was a guitar, a lump of wood with six strings. The last show of the tour (8 December 1983) was the third anniversary of John Lennon’s death, whom both Bowie and Earl Slick had worked with in the studio previously. Slick suggested to Bowie a few days prior to the show that they play “Across the Universe” as a tribute, but Bowie said, “Well if we’re going to do it, we might as well do “Imagine.”” They rehearsed the song a couple of times on 5 December (in Bangkok) and then performed the song on the final night of the tour as a tribute to their friend.

Tour legacy The tour was a high point of commercial success for Bowie, who found his new popularity perplexing. Bowie would later remark that with the success of Let’s Dance and the Serious Moonlight Tour, he had lost track of who his fans were or what they wanted.[5] One critic would later call this tour his “most accessible” because “it had few props and one costume change, from peach suit to blue.” Bowie later specifically tried to avoid repeating the formula for success from his Serious Moonlight Tour with his 1987 Glass Spider Tour.

To this day this was the best concert I’ve ever been to. David always loved playing in Philadelphia and that’s where I seen him. I’ve been to well over a 100 concerts over 45 years . No one has the stage presence of David Bowie.

A memorable concert in Munich

I was at the Washington DC Event in August 1983. Six of my friends went in tux’s and a limo. I remember they kick a 14 foot inflated world ball into the crowd and it made its way around the whole stadium.

Great memories!!!

I remember i couldn’t get a ticket for England, so got a ticket for the 25th of june in Rotherdam, fond memories had to take a train to London, then coach to Rotterdam, stayed in nice hotel, brilliant time.

I saw the September 5 concert in Buffalo. It was a thrill to see him and a great spectacle. He came out as the Thin White Duke at one point–very theatrical. I wish I could remember who opened that show.

Was at the Sept 9 gig and was looking for the opening band’s lineup, I know the Go Go’s and Madness opened but my memory fails the rest, I will say a guy was hit and killed by a train of all thing’s on his way to the concert, kinda sad. But, what was worse was the radio station KROQ in Los Angeles played Ozzy’s Crazy Train all the next day because of it…and they didn’t play rock and roll..good times ✌🧡

Tracklisting

Recorded in Vancouver during David Bowie’s 1983 world tour, Serious Moonlight (Live ’83) was released as part of the Loving The Alien (1983–1988) box set in 2018.

Bowie’s concert at Vancouver’s 11,000-seater Pacific National Exhibition Coliseum took place on 12 September 1983 . The show was recorded and filmed, with David Mallet directing the latter.

The film of the event was released on VHS and laserdisc in 1984. It included the majority of the concert, although ‘Red Sails’ , ‘Star’ , ‘Stay’ , ‘The Jean Genie’ , and ‘Modern Love’ were omitted due to time constraints.

A remastered DVD version came out in 2006, with new 5.1 and DTS audio remixes by EMI’s Peter Mew.

A digital EP featuring four audio tracks from the show was released in February 2006, and included ‘Space Oddity’ , ‘China Girl’ , ‘Breaking Glass’ , and ‘Young Americans’ .

The full live album was released on 12 October 2018 in the Loving The Alien (1983–1988) box set, and on 15 February 2019 as a standalone release.

The majority of the tracks were mixed by Bob Clearmountain, although Nile Rodgers and Jason Corsaro mixed the closing ‘Modern Love’ , which was recorded at the Forum in Montreal on 13 July 1983. The live recording had previously been released as the b-side of the ‘Modern Love’ single.

I am a huge Bowie fan and I always thought it was so cool that this album was recorded at the Pacific Coliseum! The arena is only a few blocks from where I currently live.

david bowie serious moonlight tour programme

This is my Bowie album. I was part of the Perth effort. Seriously, one of the greatest concerts I had ever been involved in. And the afterparty was… well ya had to be there. This is sublime musicianship from some of the best rent-a-sounds ever. Think I’ve still got the t-shirt and tape somewhere signed by the Thin White Duke himself. The Edgley Entertainment Centre came alive… so did a 21 year old.

David Bowie: Serious Moonlight

Premieres Monday June 13 at 7 p.m.

In 1983, David Bowie embarked on The Serious Moonlight Tour, a worldwide concert tour to support the release of his new album, Let’s Dance . The tour opened in Brussels, Belgium, in May and ended in Hong Kong in December, selling over 2.6 million tickets for 96 performances in 15 countries. At the time it was Bowie’s longest, largest and most successful concert tour to date.

David Bowie: Serious Moonlight was recorded live in Vancouver on September 12, 1983, capturing one of Bowie’s most dramatic, charismatic and memorable performances — now in a restored, High-Definition remaster as part of the ongoing celebration of the 75th anniversary of David Bowie’s birth, Bowie 75 . The concert features many of Bowie’s greatest hits, including “Let’s Dance,” “Heroes,” “Golden Years,” “Life On Mars?,” “China Girl” and “Space Oddity.”
