David Bowie on MTV 10 Spot 10-14-97, The Jean Genie and I’m Afraid of Americans

On October 14, 1997, after the Rolling Stones made a last minute cancellation, David Bowie stepped up and performed an excellent concert on the premiere of MTV’s 10 Spot. The only source for this video that I have is from a mono video source that a friend (with very good taste in music) lent to me. I am thankful that I have been able to see this show. The songs performed on this segment are both The Jean Genie and I’m Afraid of Americans. This is indeed a great performance by David Bowie, Reeves Gabrel, Gail Ann Darcy, Zachary Alford, and Mike Garson. And definitely killer versions of The Jean Genie and I’m Afraid of Americans, for sure!! archivist: David Saddler
