My Own Rock Star Pictures #1:Bowie plays Iggy's backup

Posted about 1 year ago
I took quite a few pictures through my rock-tutelage. It started in high school with the old kodak and proceeded through college when I graduated to a Mamiya-Sekor slrMost of these pictures only exist in an album. I'm trying to put them on digital. Did a first pass last week.By the mid-seventies, Bowie and Iggy had been, ahem, pal-ing it up for a few years. Bowie even toured with Iggy, doing piano and backing vocals. I've read some reviews that pan this part of both performers careers, but I remember it as a cool low-key performance when the two played the Agora in Columbus.
