Sound and Vision Tour
Encyclopedia
The David Bowie
Sound+Vision Tour was billed as a greatest hits tour in which Bowie would retire his back catalogue of older songs. It opened at the Colisée de Québec
- Quebec City, QC on 4 March 1990 before reaching its conclusion in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 29 September 1990, spanning five continents in seven months. The concert tour surpassed the previous Serious Moonlight and Glass Spider Tour's statistics by visiting 27 countries with 108 performances. For the ten performances in the United Kingdom
alone it was estimated the audience figure was 250,000 in total.

being keen for Bowie to promote his back-catalogue re-issue programme that had started in 1989 with the release of the Sound and Vision box set.
It was stated that Bowie would never perform these greatest hits on tour again. 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." He looked forward to retiring his old songs, 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.
It was also announced that the set-list for any given performance of the tour would be partially determined by the most popular titles logged in a telephone poll (by calling the number 1-900-2-BOWIE-90), and mail-in ballots were made available to vote by in territories where telephone technology was not available. Bowie did in fact build the tour's setlist from calls to the phone number from all over the world, saying "What I ended up doing was taking about seven or eight [songs] from [the calls in] England, another seven or eight from the rest of Europe and the rest I made up from America so it's a good sampling of what everybody wanted in all the continents." The first shows of the tour held in March 1990 in Canada were performed before any telephone polls were completed, leading Bowie to guess at the list of songs the audience wanted to hear. In the US, the songs "Fame," "Let's Dance" and "Changes" topped the list of songs requested by fans, while in Europe the songs "Heroes" and "Blue Jean" were the leaders.
The NME
in response to the telephone poll ran a spoof campaign, Just Say Gnome, in an effort to have "The Laughing Gnome
" included in the set-lists. Bowie had considered playing "The Laughing Gnome" "in the style of the Velvets
or something" until he found out the voting had been perpetrated by the music magazine.
Bowie spent the early few months of 1990 preparing for the tour in a rehearsal hall on Manhattan's west side.
After the tour, Bowie returned to his band Tin Machine
for their second album

drew, Bowie was keen to make sure the Sound+Vision Tour did things differently. He said:
He added that this tour is "nowhere near as ambitious as Glass Spider in size, but qualitatively, in essence, I think it's as theatrical."
In addition to the stark lighting and the backing 4-piece rock band, Bowie employed a new tool for this tour: a giant sixty-by-forty foot transparent gauze scrim. The scrim would occasionally be lowered in front of or behind Bowie, onto which images of Bowie and videos were projected. Bowie described it as being "like a giant Javanese shadow puppet show at times." Two large, round screens at each side of the stage also displayed the videos projected on the scrim.

performing dances in time to the music and images of Bowie singing, playing instruments, miming or otherwise performing to certain songs were projected on the scrim & screens during the show. For some dates, such as the 6 March 1990 performance in Montreal, some of the dancers from La La La Human Steps danced live on stage to some of the songs.
Despite this, no official recording of the show has been made available to the public in either audio or video form. A number of performances were filmed and recorded for television and radio broadcasts; Milton Keynes Bowl 5 August 1990 broadcast by BBC Radio

. A review of an early show by Rolling Stone magazine was positive, saying "Bowie proved able to reclaim virtually his entire diverse oeuvre - even those songs that now seem furthest from him - through sheer vocal power and charisma" and complaining only that "the band wasn't always equal to the challenge, demonstrating too much respect for the songs' recorded arrangements." A review of the show's stop in Vancouver, BC said "Bowie hasn't sounded this good in years", praising the tour's focus on not only the songs, but on Bowie himself, and a review of the show in Seattle, WA called the visuals "a knockout" and praised Bowie as an innovator, only complaining that the music itself seemed "mechanical."
Some shows on the North American tour didn't sell out (such as in Seattle and some dates in Florida), but overall the tour was well-attended, selling out shows (often over multiple nights) in cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Philadelphia and Detroit.

Bowie would in fact retire most of his older repertoire from live performances, reviving only his personal favorites on later tours (starting with performances of "Heroes" in 1996).

They said "Louise Lecavalier of Montreal's La La La Human Steps dance troupe provides avant-garde acrobatics, and several [musical] numbers are graced by stunning short films, including a clip for "Ashes to Ashes" that has to be seen to be believed. Otherwise, there are no pyrotechnics, no laser beams and, best of all, no glass spiders," the last a reference to Bowie's ill-received previous world tourGlass Spider Tour
