from The Concert Room · host Bob Hill

Send us Fan MailThe Concert Room features legendary performer David Bowie! Bowie and his band rolled in the Spectrum during his Isolar II world tour on April 28 and 29, 1978 for 2 sold out shows. These shows were recorded for his live album Stage, released later that year. David Bowie and Philadelphia have a long and mutual love of musical history tied together, with his album “Young Americans” record at the famed Sigma Sound Studios in Center City, and the multiple recordings at the Tower Theater in the early 70’s up to Stage! We go inside his musical and persona changes in the decade of the 70’s, the Philadelphia influence on his career and feature a great performance of “Heroes” live on the Spectrum stage in April 1978.
