any footage of him from this time is amazing to watch, even if he does look like he could collapse at any time. He turns out fine in the end so its all good :)
OUCH.........doesn't even compare to having Mick Ronson on guitar and Woody on drums. That was TOO MUCH to believe. This is........LAME. He shouldn't have even tried this song without them.
Oh God! The Addiction, The Talent He's So beautifully Talented and so wrapped up and sick oh the pain and sadness, But as the Phoenix Rose from the Ashes to Ashes Bowie Saved Himself and Rocks till this Day Amen praise God!
Check Detroit Fame Rehersal 1975 I believe Much healthier and better!
@durante888 Many Bowie fans mention Bowie and cocaine in the same expression. But if they had experience with the drug, they'd know, most likely, never was he jacked on it while on stage.
Bowie was fucked up on coke on his first US tour. Have you seen the deleted scene for Cracked Actor, he has a huge bag of coke in his hand, obviously good shit too possibly from his pal Lee Black Childers. I look back and think he was a kid in his late 20s, who had just became a Rock God and was going to the States on his first big adventure. I also felt the sax, especially David Sanborn's, was an intrinsic part of Bowie's sound around this time !
its different. it will probably grow on me, like when roger waters from pink floyd, went out on his solo career. he used alot of sax where the guitar solos used to be. i guess that was the 80's and early 90's style back then. oh well.
Let's be honest... they SUCKED! I love David and all of his bandmates but they blew it or shot it on this one. I missed this tour and seeing this footage is a dream come true for me. I thank you.
Thanx indeed!!! The BBC,at least,must have footage of many of those shows. Great to hear earl slick playing a different solo to the one I've gotten used to over the years. Brilliant!!
Fantastic !!!!
