The Story

On June 6, 1987, Bowie performed for 70,000 people in front of the Reichstag in West Berlin. Thousands of people from East Berlin gathered on the other side of the wall to listen to the show. Two days later, Ronald Reagan delivered his "Tear Down This Wall" speech at the Brandenburg Gate. Two years later, the Wall fell. Bowie said this show was one of the most emotional experiences of his life.
