Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia during the extravagant, heavily choreographed Diamond Dogs tour, this album vividly chronicles Bowie's transition from glam-rock icon to blue-eyed soul crooner. Radically reworked arrangements of his earlier catalog, heavily driven by Earl Slick's guitar and complex horn sections, met with polarizing contemporary reception.
