Product Description
By the second half of 1971 David Bowie was justifiably being branded a one-hit-wonder, Lou Reed was considered washed-up following a disastrous solo debut, and Iggy Pop was seen as merely a drug crazed ex-Stooge the band having split the year before for reasons linked to his deepening habit. But a meeting of minds at the New York venue Max s Kansas City in that year s closing months was the catalyst for an extraordinary turnaround of fortunes for these three musical geniuses, resulting in the most dramatic shift in musical style since the dawn of the rock age, fifteen years before. This fascinating film investigates the era in which these brilliant, creative personalities worked most closely together. With the story told by those who were there at the time and via rare and classic film footage, plus recently discovered archive, seldom seen photographs and a host of other features, this programme reveals a time of incredible creativity, astonishing energy and a sublime chain of events that changed music forever. Includes exclusive contributions from David s ex-wife Angie Bowie; Andy Warhol s Factory assistant Billy Name; MainMan Management vice president, Leee Black Childers; New York scenester Jayne [née Wayne] County and many others from the era in question.
Product Description
Nel 1971 David Bowie era considerato poco più che un one hit wonder, essendo conosciuto solo per l'effimero successo di Space Oddity. Lou Reed, archiviati i Velvet Underground era dato per spacciato considerato il disastroso esito del suo primo solo album. Iggy Pop dal canto suo era ormai in preda alle droghe, principale causa dei problemi degli Stooges. Eppure un incontro complice al Max's Kansas City di New York si rivelò cruciale per le carriere di questi tre formidabili geni musicali. Di lì a poco Bowie sarebbe diventato il marziano caduto sulla Terra Ziggy Stardust, autore di un concept album fondamentale della storia del rock e sull'onda del suo enorme successo aiuterà gli amici producendo Transformer di Lou Reed (il suo più grande successo commerciale) e Raw Power di Iggy and The Stooges che segnerà la (prima) rinascita dell'Iguana. Quel periodo leggendario rivive in questo bel film documentario realizzato col contributo della ex-moglie di Bowie, Angie, Jayne County, Billy Name della Factory di Andy Warhol e altri personaggi chiave dell'epoca.
