Bowie turned 69 on Friday, the same day he released his new album, “Blackstar.”
Nearly 40 years ago, Bowie recorded a live album during a concert at the Seattle Center Coliseum, now known as Key Arena.
The album is called "Station to Calvary Seattle 1976."
The show was one of several memorable concerts Bowie played in the Puget Sound area.
Over the years, Bowie played at least six concerts in Tacoma and Seattle.
In 2013, the Experience Music Project museum showed an exhibit featuring Bowie's Goblin King outfit from the well-known movie, “Labyrinth.”
