In 1983, David Bowie played BC Place and the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver.
This was part of his Serious Moonlight tour, considered his longest, largest and most successful tour ever. It started in May, 1983 and ended Dec. 8, 1983.
Bowie played BC Place in August and then in September he returned to Vancouver to play two shows at the Pacific Coliseum. This was to produce the music tour video, including an introduction shoot to the video on Main Street.
This video shows a slice of what Vancouver looked like in 1983 and the whole video includes most of the songs from the concert.
Longtime Vancouver DJ and music journalist Terry David Mulligan, who interviewed Bowie when he came to Vancouver in the 80s, said we would all love to have the life that he lived.
“Sixty-nine years of age, the music will stand the test of time,” said Mulligan. “I met one of the really fine people on the face of the planet, David Bowie.”
