David Bowie's 1990 Sound+Vision Tour was billed as a greatest hits tour in which Bowie would retire his back catalogue of hit songs from live performance. The tour opened at the Colisée de Québec in Quebec, Canada on 4 March 1990 before reaching its conclusion at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 29 September 1990, spanning five continents in seven months. The concert tour surpassed Bowie's previous Serious Moonlight (1983) and Glass Spider (1987) tours' statistics by visiting 27 countries with 108 performances. Édouard Lock of La La La Human Steps co-conceived and was artistic director for this tour. ==Tour history== Bowie's previous Glass Spider Tour and two most recent albums (''Tonight'' (1984) and ''Never Let Me Down'' (1987)) had all been critically dismissed, and Bowie was looking for a way to rejuvenate himself artistically. To this end, Bowie wanted to avoid having to play his old hits live forever, and used the release of the Sound + Vision box set as the impetus for a tour, despite having no new material recorded. It was stated that Bowie would never perform these greatest hits on tour again.〔Nicholas Pegg, ''The Complete David Bowie'', Reynolds & Hearn Ltd, 2004, ISBN 1-903111-73-0〕 Bowie said "knowing I won't ever have those songs to rely on again spurs me to keep doing new things, which is good for an artist."〔 Bowie looked forward to retiring his old hits, stating: He would state in another contemporary interview that "I want to finish off that old phase and start again. By the time I'm in my later forties, I will have built up a whole new repertoire."〔 It has been noted that Bowie is "famous" for claiming retirement in the past, so many critics and observers did not fully believe Bowie when he said he would not play these songs again.〔〔 Bowie spent the early few months of 1990 preparing for the tour in a rehearsal hall on Manhattan's west side.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sound+Vision Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
