[Cygnetcommittee1]

Excellent stuff from the Legend,thanks for uploading this gem

[98monkey89]

I just realised the begining does sound rather Bob Dylan Rainy day woman esque ;)

[wonkeaux]

I dunno about that twangy country tinged guitar on a Lydian tune... sounds a bit goofy.

[mb65amg1]

Very cool! This rocks!

[bgdjohnny8]

How cool to see a rehearsal - Saw similar when at Ed Sullivan Theater fer Letterman - and Bowie was friendly w/ us - unlike dousche Letterman

[linclinc5]

I saw this tour at Wembley. He was acting very odd on stage and stopped and started songs saying ...'don't want to do that one.....'. The fans loved it but I came away thinking he was a bit unprofessional, of course it didn't matter, I still loved it. Years later it's all explained with his cocaine addiction

[MrWhomper7]

@linclinc5  side effects of the cocaine I think he sang bout that !!!lol

[dejahthoris]

I saw him on this tour. It changed me forever. I can't explain. 

[MrDiego881]

Avanti anni luce...great David

[SMACAMILLION]

this is better than the show footage!

[satorotas93]

Wow, I remember seeing him perform this song during his "Thin White Duke" Tour. The rehearsal was better than the performance.....Let's call this the "Resurrection of the Thin White Duke"!

[Saab1004]

Saw it live at the Nassa Coliseum / Long Island... Sick !! Totally amazing.

[Saab1004]

[bigbass3]

Oh, my ... Jaguar XKE , Camaro Z28 , Juno 60

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION PERHAPS?

[cielobull]

I heard on a radio station that nobody could possibly understand this song because David Bowie himself doesn't understand it. He was high when he wrote it. That's what I head at least.

[elphatronik]

What in god's name is a TVC 15? Ive been trying to figure it out and no one seems to know!

[klojinum]

A Television.

You know that the song's about a wild idea that Bowie and Iggy Pop had of the Tv eating Pop's girlfriend, yeah?

[elphatronik]

So that gets the TV part... whats the C 15?

But I guess now I'm splitting hairs

Thank you!

[OedepusMusic]

television, on channel 15

I don't know what the song is about other than that hallucination iggy pop had of his girlfriend being eaten by the tv. but don't worry, not even Bowie knows what the song is about.

interesting fact: on the I don't like the drugs video, Manson steps into a talk show on channel 15 ;)

[soulchosen]

I understand it is (or was) a US soul radio station

[elphatronik]

OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOU! Thats brilliant work, thanks much!

[WhitneyGetz]

TV....tv....TVC 15. That's a good place to start.

[gorefatale]

Aaaaahhh...David is sooooo fiiiiiine.

[eurobaby460]

What I wouldn't do for a time machine!!!!! Arghh. I am glad some folks got to see some great talent in their day :-)

[antheaize]

I've never seen him, i'm so envious ... :)

[Ladybyron100]

I saw this tour at Wembley Stadium..He was..is amazining.

[charliebrown44]

I don't know where people manage to unearth this stuff but this is awesome.Thanks for uploading this.

[MrGrahameg]

@charliebrown44 i agree -where on earth does this come from

[dejahthoris]

thanks for posting this rare footage. it is a cultural treasure!

[helisto]

David Bowie's "Thin White Duke" image was a major influence on Gary Numan's stage performances. The fact that he had aspergers also contributed, but Bowie hated Gary cause he felt he was stealing his image. Thing was that Bowie was one of Gary's heroes. How would he feel?...

[awordonawing]

thank you "rosalin74"! Station To Station was the very first record i ever owned - must've listened to this song 10,000 times and it still feels so killer. GOD that band is unbelievable!

[oningen]

Such an innovative melody.. skillfully blending elements of parade fanfare, wild west bar ambience and even jazz club sophistication..

[awordonawing]

you summed it up so astutely... right on!

[edogrinningsoul]

He's god in person.

[PsalmHymn]

Dear edog,

We all are God in person; but nice idea, mate.

cheers

[giedosst]

I wonder if he remembers this at all?

[FleurT18]

Why wasn't i there in 70's ?....

[LadyScreaming]

David Bowie is such a great performer! I love that song!

[dlfunky]

[julz415]

[bowiemott]

You mean Ian Curtis moves like Bowie ?

[Droyd21]

yeah, ironically Joy Division also has a song called transmission.

[helisto]

how the FUCK is that ironic?!?! I'm sure there a loads of songs called transmission. Do us a favour and stop wasting our download.

[Droyd21]

Ian Curtis was influenced by Bowie, so hey might have got the title from Bowie.

Joy Division also has a song called Candidate.

[CusterFlux]

Yeah, so did Japan ... Bowie influenced a lot of influencers ;)
