Out Now: David Bowie, CRACKED ACTOR

This year’s Record Store Day brought a true treat for David Bowie fans: CRACKED ACTOR (LIVE LOST ANGELES ’74), an audio document of what it was like to see the Thin White Duke during his tour in support of his DIAMOND DOGS album. Yes, there’d already been an audio document from that tour (DAVID LIVE), but this was something else entirely, with Bowie’s band featuring Earl Slick, Carlos Alomar, and – on backing vocals – Luther Vandross.

Rhino has now made CRACKED ACTOR available on CD at a price that’s decidedly more tempting for the average Bowie fan, but make no mistake, this is no average concert album. It’s an experience for the ages.
