1978 live album by Iggy Pop
TV Eye Live 1977 (or TV Eye ) is a live album by Iggy Pop originally released in 1978. Iggy took a $90 000 advance from RCA Records to finish his contract with a live album. According to allmusic.com , the album was assembled from soundboard tapes . Iggy Pop doctored them in a German studio, quickly and cheaply for around $5,000. The album features recordings from concerts on March 21 & 22, 1977 at The Agora in Cleveland, Ohio ; on March 28, 1977 at The Aragon in Chicago, Illinois ; and on October 26, 1977 at The Uptown Theater in Kansas City, Missouri .
The album is notable for the presence of David Bowie on keyboards and background vocals for selected tracks and the rather crushing bass and drum sound; also, with the Sales brothers, the lineup prefigures in part Bowie's Tin Machine lineup.
