Following a six week break and the recording of the "Young Americans" album, the tour moved to the west coast of the United States. By this time Bowie had had enough of the elaborate stage sets but agreed to keep them in place whilst the BBC filmed for the Cracked Actor documentary. The band was slightly re-arranged for September. David Bowie (vocals), Mike Garson (piano, mellotron), Carlos Alomar (guitar), Earl Slick (lead guitar), Doug Raunch (bass guitar), Greg Enrico (drums), Pablo Rosario (percussion), David Sanborn (alto sax, flute), Richard Grando (baritone sax, flute), Michael Kamen (electric piano, moog, oboe), Geoffrey MacCormack (aka Warren Peace), Ava Cherry, Gui Andrisano, Robin Clark, Anthony Hinton, Dianne Sumler and Luther Vandross (vocal backings).

According to Tony Zanetta (MainMan) a total of seven shows were cancelled between 16th September & 5th October - there is some confusion over which dates were postponed. There was a two week rehearsal in a Los Angeles studio before resuming the tour. THE PHILLY DOGS TOUR* Having disposed of the Diamond Dogs set, Bowie returned to the East Coast on the 5th October 1974 for the 2nd Leg of The Diamond Dogs Tour - renamed The 'Philly' Dogs Tour (also known as The Soul Tour). The re-arranged line-up now named David Bowie And The Mike Garson Band consisted of: David Bowie (vocals), Mike Garson (piano, mellotron), Carlos Alomar (guitar), Earl Slick (lead guitar), Emir Ksasan (bass), Dennis Davis (drums), Pablo Rosario (percussion), David Sanborn (alto sax, flute), Richard Grando (baritone sax, flute), Michael Kamen (electric piano, moog, oboe), Geoffrey MacCormack (aka Warren Peace), Ava Cherry, Robin Clark, Jean Fineberg, Anthony Hinton, Dianne Sumler and Luther Vandross (vocal backings).
