Live Nassau Coliseum '76


Live Nassau Coliseum '76 is a live album by David Bowie recorded on 23 March 1976 during Bowie's Isolar Tour in support of the album Station to Station. Recorded live at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, the album captures the second-last date of the North American leg of the tour.
An edited version of the concert was broadcast on radio's King Biscuit Flower Hour and was heavily bootlegged years before the concert recording's first official release in September 2010, as part of special and deluxe editions of Station to Station. The album was released separately on 10 February 2017.
The official album is a largely complete version of the concert, although "Panic in Detroit" is a shortened version with most of Dennis Davis' drum solo edited out.

Critical reception

Writer Nicholas Pegg described the album as "an excellent memento of one of Bowie’s greatest tours, with highlights including a majestic 'Word On A Wing', an über-cool 'Waiting For The Man', and riotous, thrilling renditions of 'Stay' and 'The Jean Genie'" with "Bowie and his terrific 1976 band on blistering form."
