Stage is David Bowie's second live album, released by RCA in 1978. Though it was rumoured at the time that this would be his final outing with the label, following dissatisfaction over the promotion of Low and "Heroes", Bowie would in fact remain with RCA until 1982. The recording was culled from concerts in Philadelphia, Providence and Boston, USA.

  • Stage is David Bowie's second live album, released by RCA in 1978. Though it was rumoured at the time that this would be his final outing with the label, following dissatisfaction over the promotion of Low and "Heroes", Bowie would in fact remain with RCA until 1982. The recording was culled from concerts in Philadelphia, Providence and Boston, USA. It primarily included material from Bowie's most recent studio albums to that date, Station to Station, Low and "Heroes" but, in a surprise show of nostalgia, also featured five songs from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Aside from Bowie's core team of Carlos Alomar, Dennis Davis and George Murray, band members included ex Frank Zappa sideman Adrian Belew on guitar, Simon House from Hawkwind on electric violin, and Roger Powell, best known for his work with Todd Rundgren in the group Utopia, on keyboards. All would reunite the following year on Bowie's next studio LP, Lodger. Generally considered more relaxed than Bowie's previous live album, David Live (1974), Stage was praised on its initial vinyl release for the fidelity with which the band was able to emulate in concert the electronic and effects-filled numbers from Low and "Heroes", as well as for the singer's vocal performance. However it was criticised for lacking a 'live' atmosphere, thanks to the recording being largely taken from direct instrument and microphone feeds which increased sound quality but minimised crowd noise. The original concert running order was also changed, with fades between tracks similar to a studio album. As Bowie rarely tampered with the arrangements - in contrast to his method on David Live - Stage added little to what was available on the original albums, and hence was seen by some commentators as simply a marketing exercise that did not do justice to a memorable series of live concerts. Even the cover picture came in for criticism, more so because the rest of the package contained only variations of the same shot. Stage reached #5 in the UK album charts but only #44 in the US. "Breaking Glass", which originally appeared in shorter form on Low, was released as a single. A 2005 reissue saw most of the criticisms of the original LP addressed, and the new version garnered some favourable reviews.
  • Stage on David Bowien vuonna 1978 julkaistu livealbumi. Materiaali äänitettiin Bowien Yhdysvaltain kiertueella touko-huhtikuussa aiemmin samana vuonna neljässä eri konsertissa. Albumi nousi brittilistalla sijalle 5 ja Yhdysvalloissa sijalle 44.
  • Stage est le deuxième album live de David Bowie, sorti en 1978. Il se classa cinquième dans les charts britanniques et 44 aux États-Unis.
  • Stage er David Bowies andre konsertalbum og utgitt i 1978. Platen er innspilt i USA under Stage-turneen, som promoterte albumene Low og Heroes. Albumet inneholder sanger fra hans da tre siste album Station to Station, Low og "Heroes", men inneholder også fem sanger fra albumet The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Albumet ble kritisert for å mangle live-atmosfæren ved at opptakene ble tatt direkte fra instrument- og mikrofon-feeden, noe som minimerte publikumslyden. Rekkefølgen på sangene var også endret og sangene ble fadet på linje med et studioalbum. Stage kom på 5. plass på listene i Storbritannia, men bare på 44. plass i USA når den ble utgitt første gang. På VG-lista lå den i to uker med 18. plass som beste plassering. I 2005 ble Stage gitt ut på nytt med den «riktige» rekkefølgen på sangene.
  • Stage är ett dubbelt livealbum med David Bowie inspelat vid konserterna i The Spectrum Arena, Philadelphia 28-29 april 1978 samt Civic center, Providence 5 maj 1978. Albumet gavs ut i England 8 september 1978.
