Live: Bushnell Performing Arts Center, Hartford

David Bowie performed at the Bushnell Auditorium in Hartford, Connecticut, on 17 July 1974. This was his only show at the venue.

It was the 29th date of the Diamond Dogs Tour, which had kicked off in Montreal on 14 June. This date replaced a cancelled show at the Cape Cod Coliseum in Yarmouth.

The musical director was Michael Kamen, who also played electric piano, Moog synthesizer, and oboe. Earl Slick played guitar, and Mike Garson was on piano and Mellotron. The bass guitarist was Herbie Flowers, and the drummer was Tony Newman.

The backing singers were Geoff MacCormack (billed as Warren Peace) and Gui Andrisano. The line-up was completed by David Sanborn and Richard Grando on saxophone and flute, and percussionist Pablo Rosario.
