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. The end of the tour was also called The Soul Tour, which included some songs from the forthcoming album Young Americans.

Bowie later recalled how he had become fed up with the theatricality of the tour early on (before changing it into the 'Soul Tour'): "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."

Famous quotes containing the words diamond, dogs and/or tour:

    Every time an ashtray is missing from a hotel, they don’t come looking for you. But let a diamond bracelet disappear in France and they shout John Robie, the Cat. You don’t have to spend every day of your life proving your honesty, but I do.
    John Michael Hayes (b.1919)

    They said they were an-hungry; sighed forth proverbs—
    That hunger broke stone walls, that dogs must eat,
    That meat was made for mouths, that the gods sent not
    Corn for the rich men only.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
