David Bowie

In April 1977, when David Bowie performed live in Birmingham alongside Iggy Pop, he was on the cusp of a pivotal moment in his career. This concert took place shortly after Bowie released the acclaimed album "Low," which marked a daring shift in his style towards a more experimental sound, moving away from the glam rock that had characterized much of his earlier work. Interesting tidbit: Bowie's collaboration with Iggy Pop during this period wasn't just a friendly partnership; it helped redefine both artists, as Bowie produced some of Iggy's work around that time. The live recording captures an electrifying energy, illustrating how Bowie was not merely a performer but a true innovator, pushing boundaries in music and art. This concert is a brilliant showcase of the artistic evolution that Bowie embraced, paving the way for what would become known as the Berlin Trilogy.
