After the unexpected death of David Bowie in 2016, Hungarian musicians decided to commemorate one of the most influential artists in pop culture on the A38 Boat with Bowie songs, a concert showing the details of Bowie’s oeuvre. Although the concert was planned to be a one-time event at the time, both the musicians and the audience wanted a rerun. That’s why the band decided to line up for one concert a year, but expand the show with songs from a fellow musician with whom Bowie collaborated. For the first time, in 2018, the songs of Iggy Pop, the second time, in 2019, were performed by Lou Reed, and last year by John Lennon. The following evening, at a concert postponed to September 2021 due to COVID, the musicians will select from Mick Jagger’s recordings. The friendship with the frontman of the Rolling Stones dates back to the early 70s. In 1973, Bowie reworked "Let's spend the night together" on Aladdin Sane's album. Few know, but one of the Stones ’inevitable hits,“ It’s only rock and roll, ”is also the result of a joint jam with Bowie. And who wouldn’t remember the iconic funny “Dancing in the street” symbolizing the 80s? The concert, as on previous occasions, will be unique and unrepeatable; most of the set is renewed year after year.
