Description:
In Concert" is an album of rare live performances by Klaus Nomi at Harrah's in New York City in 1979. Klaus Sperber loved opera and rock music, and when he moved to New York in 1972, he eventually found a place for artistic expression on the local cabaret stage. His look and voice reflected the royalty of the New Wave scene, and he had the vibe of Andy Warhol's Factory (Warhol's studio) period and beyond. He appeared at venues such as Max's Kansas City (a New York nightclub and restaurant) surrounded by friends from the underground scene, where his 1950s science fiction sensibility, sharp black-and-white costumes, and exceptional voice created a unique world. However, it was his encounter with David Bowie that catapulted his career into the limelight.In 1979, at the height of the Berlin era, David Bowie was quick to take notice of the promising young prodigy, selecting him as a backup singer for a special on NBC TV's "Saturday Night Live," and he became an instant sensation. In 1980, he released his long-awaited debut single, "Keys of Life," and in 1981, he released his first album, "Opera Rock," and expanded his career. The following year, in 1982, they released their second album, "Simple Man. However, by this time, he had already contracted HIV and his body was in a state of complete decline, and on August 6, 1983, he died of AIDS in a New York hospital after 39 years of life. The life of a one-of-a-kind artist was taken from him at the height of his stardom, when records were certified gold, concert halls were intoxicated, and the fashion world was mesmerized by him. Klaus Nomi swept to the top of the charts from 1979 to 1982 and then returned to his home on some other planet.The influence of Klaus Nomi lives on today, and while definitely more scattershot than the dazzling days of the late 1980s, it can still be recognized in Jean Paul Gaultier, some of Givenchy's pieces, and even Lady Gaga's costumes. Just look at one of the major characters in "American Horror Story: Season 11" and you will remember someone. If you look around the world of advertising, you will notice that his music has been synchronized in countless campaigns in countless countries. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Klaus Nomi's death this year, Sony Music is reissuing the complete catalog of his official discography. This work is the album "In Concert," which includes a rare live performance of Klaus Nomi at Harrah's in New York in 1979.
