Title:
Stage
Description:
Stage was culled from recordings of concerts in Philadelphia, Boston, and Providence, Rhode Island, United States, in late April and early May 1978. It primarily included material from Bowie’s most recent studio albums to that date, Station to Station, Low, and ”Heroes” (both 1977), but also contained five songs from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972). Aside from Bowie’s core team of guitarist Carlos Alomar, drummer Dennis Davis, and bassist George Murray, the band included ex-Frank Zappa sideman Adrian Belew on lead guitar; Simon House of Hawkwind on electric violin; Roger Powell, best known for his work with Todd Rundgren in Utopia, on keyboards; and Sean Mayes on piano, string synthesizer, and backing vocals; all would be featured on Bowie’s next studio LP, Lodger (1979).
