Outside summer festivals tour

On June 12, 1996, David Bowie arrived in Moscow .

This was Bowie’s third trip to the capital: the first time he visited there in April-May 1973 (in order to get to Moscow from Japan , he had to board a ship from Yokohama to Nakhodka , and from there to the Trans-Siberian Railway ) ^{[ 1]} , the second - in 1976, together with Iggy Pop , and for the third time Bowie arrived in Moscow with a concert at the State Kremlin Palace .

The guest was met at Sheremetyevo-2 Airport with bread and salt, the loaf was baked by the fans themselves ^[2] . During his stay in Moscow, Bowie planned to visit Red Square and celebrate the birthday of Artemy Troitsky on the ship "The Seagull", but at the last moment he flatly refused all this. From the moment he arrived at the presidential suite of the Palace Hotel, Bowie practically never left him: he had a sore throat and chills, and he was preparing for the autumn opening day in Florence ^[3] . And only a day before the concert, he left the room for his press conference, and also, after that, in the hall of the Nizhny Novgorod hotel in order to give an interview to Trinity ’s program “Oblomov Cafe” ^[4] . Before the press conference, a meeting of fans with Bowie was organized in their room (for the first time since the 70s). Fans during the meeting warned him about poor acoustics in the State Kremlin Palace and the high cost of tickets. Bowie immediately gave tickets to those present who did not have them ^[2] .

The concert took place on June 18th . On it, for the first time since 1973 and at the request of fans, Jacques Brel 's song “My Death” was performed, which sounded in an unusual sound - processed to the musical style of the Outside album ^[2] . The concert's television version was recorded by ORT , which lasted 52 minutes, which is 25 minutes shorter than the full version. Bowie was unhappy, primarily because of the organization of the hall and the public (he said that he had never had such a terrible audience like Moscow). He promised that he would no longer come to Russia ^{[5] [2]} .
