David Bowie/Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam Giants Stadium Monday, August 3, 1987

The great David Bowie brought his Glass Spider tour to Giants Stadium in New Jersey following the huge commercial hit project “ Let’s Dance” and his more recently released “Never Let Me Down” album. My wife and I drove to the show with my work buddy Mike and one of his then girlfriends while he was in between marriages. An empty plastic one gallon milk carton was filled with Meyers rum and orange juice in a long ago time when such items were allowed into the stadium. The rum concoction did its trick, and I vaguely remember Bowie performing at some point high above the stage and among the lights and scaffolding. The iconic Bowie is still one of my favorites and I hope to visit the limited engagement pop up store celebrating his 75th birthday located near one of his residences in downtown Manhattan sometime in January, 2022; I am guessing Bowie 75 might echo the tremendous Brooklyn Museum exhibit I was fortunate to experience a few years back.
