Presentation: David Bowie

 A talk and slide show with Richie Unterberger


Author and rock historian Richie Unterberger shows and discusses vintage performance clips of David Bowie. These will span the prime of his career, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. During this time Bowie evolved through a series of surprising styles, from the folk-rock/psychedelia of "Space Oddity" and his rise to glam superstardom in the Ziggy Stardust era to his exploration of blue-eyed soul and electronic rock.


Richie Unterberger is the author of numerous rock history books, including volumes on the Beatles, the Who, the Velvet Underground, Bob Marley and 1960s folk-rock. He teaches courses on rock and soul music history at several Bay Area colleges. His next book, to be published by Taschen in 2022, is San Francisco: Portrait of a City.
