THE TOUR
The "Glass Spider Tour" was a concert tour by the late legendary British musician David Bowie. It took place in 1987 and was in support of his 17th studio album, "Never Let Me Down," which was released earlier that year.
The tour was named after the massive, impressive "Glass Spider" stage setup that resembled a giant spider. The elaborate set design and production were considered groundbreaking at the time and added a theatrical and visually stunning element to the concerts. The design included giant screens, moving parts, and elaborate lighting effects, enhancing the overall experience for the audience.
The setlist for the Glass Spider Tour featured a mix of classic hits from Bowie's extensive discography and tracks from the "Never Let Me Down" album. Some of the notable songs performed during the tour included "Let's Dance," "China Girl," "Heroes," "Fame," "Fashion," and "Time Will Crawl," among others.
The tour received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the spectacle and energy of Bowie's performances, while others criticized the sometimes overly elaborate production that might have overshadowed the music itself.
Despite the mixed reviews, the Glass Spider Tour was commercially successful and attracted large audiences around the world. David Bowie's charisma and showmanship on stage, coupled with his incredible musical talent, ensured that his concerts were always highly anticipated events.
COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
