After completing '' Low '' and '' " Heroes " '' , Bowie spent much of 1978 on the Isolar II world tour , bringing the music of the first two Berlin Trilogy albums to almost a million people during 70 concerts in 12 countries . By now he had broken his drug addiction ; biographer David Buckley writes that Isolar II was " Bowie 's first tour for five years in which he had probably not anaesthetised himself with copious quantities of cocaine before taking the stage . ... Without the oblivion that drugs had brought , he was now in a healthy enough mental condition to want to make friends . " Recordings from the tour made up the live album '' Stage '' , released the same year
