OK, not really a red letter day for Rock but on this day in 1991 Tin Machine played the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, UK.

It was part of the It’s My Life tour and was the second version of Tin Machine (Eric Schermerhorn joined the band on guitar). Tin Machine was a strange animal. Fronted by Bowie it was a pretty decent rock outfit. Bowie had formed the band, actually he says that he did not form the band it sort of just coalesced. Bowie wanted time off from his solo career, which he felt had become too mainstream (some of us would say boring).

TM released 2 albums with some critical and commercial success. The highlight of the albums was glorious version of Working Class hero on the first album. OK, this whole post is my excuse for posting this clip……
