David Live [Virgin] by David Bowie on CD
During the supporting tour for 1974's Diamond Dogs, David Bowie shifted away from the arch camp of glam rock and turned toward a highly stylized variation of Philly soul -- a transition captured on the 1974 double live album David Live. It's an interesting idea for a record, although his concerts are equal parts visual spectacle and musical concert, so having just the aural portion of the show misses a crucial part of the story. The performances often turn into groove-oriented vamps here, but the soul reworkings of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and Diamond Dogs material are intriguing conceptually, and the version of "All the Young Dudes," a song Bowie gave Mott the Hoople, is inspired. David Live is primarily of interest as a historical document, yet there's enough good material to make it worthwhile for fanatics. [Virgin's expanded 2005 edition contains the bonus tracks that were on Rykodisc's 1991 CD reissue, but they're inserted into the running order of the album instead of being tacked onto the end, which is where they were on the 1991 edition.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
