Live: Scandinavium, Gothenburg

David Bowie performed at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 4 June 1978, as part of the Isolar II Tour.

It was the 46th date of the tour, which began on 29 March in San Diego.

Bowie’s guitarists were Carlos Alomar and Adrian Belew. Simon House was on electric violin, Sean Mayes played piano, and Roger Powell was on keyboards and synthesizers. George Murray played bass guitar and Dennis Davis was on drums.

We flew down to Gothenburg on the south-west coast of Sweden. It was Sunday and the gig went well but the town was dead.

Bowie had previously played at the venue on 28 April 1976 during the Isolar Tour, and returned for a third and final time on 20 January 1996 for the Outside Tour.
