Live: Sydney Entertainment Center, Sydney

David Bowie performed at the Sydney Entertainment Center in Sydney, Australia, on 6 November 1987, as part of the Glass Spider Tour.

It was the 76th date of the tour, which began on 30 May in Rotterdam, and the third of eight nights in Sydney.

The dates were filmed by David Mallet, and released on VHS in 1988 as Glass Spider. The bulk of the footage came from this show.

Bowie’s guitarists were Carlos Alomar and Peter Frampton. Erdal Kızılçay played keyboards, trumpet, congas, and violin, and Richard Cottle was on keyboards, saxophone, and tambourine. Carmine Rojas played bass guitar and Alan Childs was on drums and percussion.

Bowie returned to the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 20 and 21 February 2004 during A Reality Tour.
