Every David Bowie Album Ranked Worst To Best (By Guitar Power)
18. Stage (1978)
Adrian Belew is the lead guitarist for this second live album by Bowie. Featuring tracks from across his catalogue, from the glam years to date, on paper it should have been a great release with so many top cuts to draw on, but much like ‘David Live’, the resulting album is a tepid re-tread of former glories.
Bowie clearly loved a number of the glam classics as they continued to feature in his live set up to the end of his life, but he seemed to be uncomfortable with the full-on rock’n’roll bravado that the glorious Mick Ronson era exemplified.
