David Live by David Bowie was recorded on the Diamond Dogs tour in 1974 and marks the transition between the sci-fi glam rock of Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane and the plastic soul of Young Americans.
I think it’s much better than its reputation.

Live Rock Albums With Saxophone – With A Wide Definition Of “Rock”
I have a huge weakness for a mixture of lead guitar and saxophone in albums and especially live albums.
I also like flute, oboe and some of the other brass instruments.
But in the main it is saxophone.
I thought I’d include this “live rock albums with saxophone” to help others like me find music to hear and buy.
Sometimes, the presence of the saxophone is obvious. Clarence Clemons, The Big Man was such a large part of the sound that made the E Street Band make the songs written by Bruce Springsteen sound fantastic. Roxy Music have always featured Andy MacKay and his oboe and sax.
Sometimes it is a surprise. David Bowie’s live album called David Live is drenched in sax thanks to David Sanborn (alto sax and flute) and Richard Grando (baritone sax and flute).
