Cracked Actor (Live Los Angeles '74) is a live album by the English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was released posthumously as a Record Store Day release on 22 April 2017 through Parlophone record label. Produced by Bowie and mixed by Tony Visconti,[1] it was recorded on the Diamond Dogs Tour in September 1974, some material from which appeared in the BBC documentary Cracked Actor.[2]
The full show spans across five sides of vinyl, with the sixth featuring an etching of Bowie. The album differs from the first Bowie live album, David Live, recorded on the same tour.[3] It features a different and more R&B-oriented lineup,[2] including long time collaborators Earl Slick and Carlos Alomar,[1] as well as backing singer Luther Vandross. The setlist also includes material recorded for The Gouster, an album which later would turn into Young Americans.[3]
The album received a wider release on CD through the same label on 16 June 2017.[4]
