[edit] History

The impetus for the Sound+Vision Tour was EMI and Rykodisc 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 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, a further declaration was that thereafter Bowie would never perform his greatest hits again^[2]. 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^[3].

A number of performances were filmed and recorded for television and radio broadcasts; Milton Keynes Bowl 5 August 1990 broadcast by BBC Radio, Estadio de Palmeiras - São Paulo 23 September 1990 broadcast by Radio Transamérica. TV broadcasts; Tokyo Dome 16 May 1990, Sambodromo de Rio - Rio de Janeiro 20 September 1990 by TV Globo and Rock in Chile Festival - Estadio Nacional de Chile 27 September 1990.
