Diamond Dogs

Diamond Dogs is a concept album by David Bowie, originally released by RCA Records in 1974. Thematically it was a marriage of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Bowie's own glam-tinged vision of a post-apocalyptic world...

. The end of the tour was also called The Soul Tour, which included some songs from the forthcoming album Young Americans

Young Americans (album)

Young Americans, released in 1975, shows off David Bowie’s 1970’s shift to his “obsession” with soul music . For this album, Bowie let go of the influences he had drawn from in the past, replacing them with sounds from “local dance halls”, which, at the time, were blaring with “…lush strings,...

.

Bowie later recalled how he had gotten fed up with the theatricality of the tour early on (before changing it into the 'Soul Tour'): "I was in a bad state of mind to have attempted that. It was pretty exciting, but I was so blocked [laughs], so stoned during the entire thing that I'm amazed I lasted with it even that one trip across America before I ditched it."

Tour details

Two months of rehearsals were required to get the tour ready, in part due to the elaborate set & props required for the show (reported to cost $275,000 in 1974 money). Originally the tour was planned to appear in a city for 5 nights before moving on, but that plan was abandoned early on. The tour started in June 1974 in Montreal, Canada as the "Diamond Dogs Tour." The tour took the month of August 1974 off, during which time Bowie began recording his follow-up studio album, Young Americans

. On 10 October 1974, after the tour had resumed, Bowie abandoned the extravagent theatrical set and re-branded the tour "The Soul Tour," which would continue through the end of the North American leg in December.

Set design

The set for the theatrical "Diamond Dogs" tour included a movable catwalk (which collapsed once during the tour with Bowie on it), streetlamps and elaborate props. For the song "Big Brother," Bowie sang from inside a multi-mirrored glass "asylum," only to emerge during the song "Time" from a giant hand. For "Space Oddity" Bowie climbed onto a cherry picker, which lifted him out and over the audience. The show in Tampa, FL, was performed without any of the stage props because the truck driver driving those components was delayed after being stung by a bee.

In 1987, while preparing for the Glass Spider Tour

Glass Spider Tour

In 1987, David Bowie embarked on The Glass Spider Tour in support of the album Never Let Me Down alongside famed guitarist Peter Frampton. The tour was named after the album track "Glass Spider." The concert tour was the most ambitious by Bowie up to that date, surpassing the Serious Moonlight Tour...

 (which picked up theatrically where the Diamond Dogs Tour left off), Bowie recalled about the extraordinary nature of the set he used during the Diamond Dogs tour:
