{"product_id":"david-bowie-david-live-2cd","title":"David Bowie - David Live [2CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Live catches Bowie mid-transformation, shedding the Ziggy skin on the 1974 Diamond Dogs tour, and this remastered 2CD edition puts the whole wild show in your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded across several nights in July 1974 at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, it was his first official live album, issued later the same year. The tour itself was a huge theatrical production, but the music on these discs points somewhere else entirely, toward the soul and funk sounds he was about to explore on Young Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat shift is the reason this album still fascinates. \"Rebel Rebel\" loses some of its glam crunch and gains a slinky groove, while \"All the Young Dudes\" is reworked into something smoky and soulful. Eddie Floyd's \"Knock on Wood\" turns up as a sweaty, horn-driven cover, a clear sign of where his head was at. Then \"Rock 'n' Roll Suicide\" closes the night as a full-blooded torch song, Bowie pouring everything into the final lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is tight and busy, with saxophone and backing vocals pushing the arrangements far from their studio shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a record of an artist changing in public, and it sounds like nothing else in his catalogue. Fans of the Philly soul years should start right here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518455292209,"sku":"5021732853509","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/David_Bowie-David_Live_2CD.jpg?v=1794678742","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/david-bowie-david-live-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
