TV Eye Live 1977 (or simply TV Eye) is a live album by the American musician
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, 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.
