BOWIE ~ JOE THE LION ~ LIVE 95

David Bowie Performing during the Outside Tour from Meadows Music Theatre, Hartford,Connecticut, USA 14th September 1995 “Joe the Lion“ is a song written by David in 1977 for the album “Heroes“. It was produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti and features lead guitar by Robert Fripp. Like the album as a whole, the song demonstrates the influence of German Krautrock,The track is in part a tribute to performance artist Chris Burden,[1] who was famous for having himself nailed to a Volkswagen in 1974 (“Nail me to my car and I’ll tell you who you are“) and for having an assistant shoot him in the arm at an art gallery in 1971 (“Guess you’ll buy a gun / You’ll buy it secondhand“). “Joe the Lion“ has also been seen as reflecting Bowie’s struggle to overcome the emotional numbness that appeared to permeate his previous album Low MTRudeBoy claims no rights to sound or vision Footage used to Pay Respect & Honour Britain’s Greatest ever solo a
