David Bowie Stage: 2017 Edition (Remaster) Driven by an entirely deeper dynamic than most pop artists, David Bowie inhabited a very special world of extraordinary sounds and endless vision. Unwilling to stay on the treadmill of rock legend and avoiding the descent into ever demeaning and decreasing circles of cliché, Bowie wrote and performed what he wanted, when he wanted. Bowie's second live album was recorded during the Isolar II world tour and released in 1978. The album's tracks were culled from concerts in Philadelphia, Providence and Boston in late April and early May 1978.
