This Saturday would have been Bowie's 75th birthday, so to celebrate, Jake Rudh put together a show of Bowie's “Berlin Trilogy” era (Jake’s personal favorite era of Bowie) including tracks from the three albums that make up the trilogy — Low, “Heroes” and Lodger — from a couple albums he produced in those years for Iggy Pop, and from Kraftwerk who mention them both kicking it all off.
