Diamond Dogs Tour
The Diamond Dogs Tour was a concert tour by David Bowie in North America in 1974 to promote the studio album ''Diamond Dogs'' (1974). The end of the tour was also called The Soul Tour, which included some songs from the forthcoming album ''Young Americans'' (1975).
==Tour preparation and 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 per set, or about $ today). Originally the tour was planned to appear in a city for 5 nights before moving on to the next city, but that plan was abandoned early on. The tour started in June 1974 in Montreal, Canada as the "Diamond Dogs Tour" (although producer Tony DeFries demanded the tour be referred to as "The Year of the Diamond Dogs" when speaking with the press). Bowie recorded radio and television commercials for the tour, which played in advance of the tour's arrival in each city. 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 extravagant theatrical set and re-branded the tour "The Soul Tour," which would continue through the end of the North American leg in December.〔
In 1987, Bowie recalled how difficult the tour was early on before changing it into the 'Soul Tour', saying "I was in a bad state of mind to have attempted that. It was pretty exciting, but I was so blocked (), so stoned during the entire thing that I'm amazed I lasted with it even that one trip across America before I ditched it."〔"David Bowie Opens Up - A Little" by Scott Isler, ''Musician'' Magazine, August 1987, pp 60-73〕
