"I paid with the worst manic depression of my life. My psyche went through the roof, it just fractured into pieces. I was hallucinating 24 hours a day. I felt like I'd fallen into the bowels of the earth." David Bowie. He took on various personas throughout his early career. This was his Thin White Duke phase. He was eating green peppers, milk, and cocaine. At times he'd go three or four days without sleeping while recording the album. There were rumors that he was burning black candles, seeing bodies fall past his window, having his semen stolen by witches and that he lived in constant fear of Jimmy Page. I mention all this because many feel that this is one of the best albums he ever produced. I agree. It's been my favorite for years. This song is about his experience, but with more of a spiritual bent. Stations here are not train-related but rather stations of the cross. You hear him speak of the European Cannon, the focus of the album being the clash between Christianity and occultism. It's worth going song to song on this album. Great stuff.
Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs are two albums from the early/mid 70’s. Pick any song, from either album, and enjoy you will. 😊 If decide to go down this rabbit hole, pack a lunch son, yer gonna be a while. 🖖🍻
Goosebumps, again, every time I hear this. Dating a woman one time 15 years ago, she inspected my CD collection, came to the Bowie, said thank god, I was worried for a moment you didn’t have any. Apparently it was her test for a soulmate. Go figure
This is one of my favorite Bowie songs. This whole album is perfection. Bowie barely had any recollection of this period in his life. I only got to see him once and it was amazing. It was opening night of the Serious Moonlight Tour, he started the tour here in Philly and recorded the music video Modern Love from that show. ✌️♥️🎶
If you want to hear a totally different Bowie song just one year later i recommend 'Subterraneans'. Mostly instrumental song like most of this the album.
The late, great Dennis Davis on drums gives a master class. He lays down such strong, articulate yet subtle patterns. Bowie loved this rhythm section so much that he toured and recorded with them from the mid-70s practically until the new millennium.
Favorite Bowie album, THE transition before the Berlin trilogy. This is his longest track, love it. However, my all time favorite song is Aladin Sane, hope hit! A true gem...
Great reaction! Apparently this album came about because upon returning Los Angeles after spending the summer 1975 filming The Man Who Fell to Earth he discovered his management had booked a world tour starting the following January. He had no new album to tour on so he got his band together and with a few song ideas wrote and recorded the album in about 2 weeks. All the while up to his hairline jacked on cocaine. He later said he couldn’t remember making it, or much of 1975 because of the drug use. You’re right about his voice. Bowie was a stellar vocalist. One of the finest in rock in the mid-1970’s. Frank Sinatra said Bowies cover of Wild is the Wind on this album was one of the finest he’d ever heard. High praise.
I think "Station To Station" refers to the Stations of the Cross. My thoughts go out to you for your grandfather; my twin brother died New Year's day so I'm struggling with that. Thanks for this reaction!
In the song 'Trans Europe Express' by Kraftwerk, the band is going station to station on a train to meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie. There had to have been a connection as Bowie and Kraftwerk's albums came out about the same time, 1976.
You’re right. Kraftwerk were Bowies favorite band around this time. He was listening to a lot of German bands: Neu, Can, Kraftwerk. The opening of StationtoStation is a nod to them. He wanted to incorporate the German motorik sound. He also wanted Kraftwerk to open for him on his 1976 tour, but their equipment was too large and unwieldy, and expensive to bring on a tour. Nowadays all they need can be on a laptop. Instead he opened with the Salvador Dali and Louis Brunel surrealist film from 1929: Un Chien Andalu, which was a genius move imo.
This was great! Would like to recommend The Width of a Circle and All the Madmen from his Folk/Rock/Pop/Metal album The Man Who Sold the World (1970). Most important though, keep on doing Bowie👍
The weird sound at the beginning is the train from the start of The Man Who Fell to Earth, which Bowie had just started in. The cover is a still from the movie.
Great recommendation from Olias. You have the best Patreon patrons. It's still hard to believe that David Bowie is no longer with us. But his spirit remains in all his art, and in the emotions he has inspired within each of us. I'm looking forward to your discovering David's earlier work. "Starman" from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars always lifts my spirits. Cheers!
This has to be my favourite album.. As a then 16 year old i saw Bowie live in 78 at the peak of the Thin white duke era .. this the track that kicked off the show . OMG it was mind blowing and it was love from then on .45 years on been huge Bowie fan to this day ..yeah that was one Bowies strengths ..he seemed to collaborate with the right ppl .
Haha thanks man! I just listen to the audience and try to find stuff that may have been forgotten or not appreciated enough. There is SO much good music out there to discover.
I have been Bowien for 55+ years. The Universe is my God Rock n Roll is my religion David Bowie is my Savior and all the words of all the rock masters words is my Bible. I am because he was. This is not idol worship this the the testament that Rock n Roll truly can save a mortal. I am living proof. I have had suicide ideation for nearly 60 years and only by the Grace of Rock n roll and David Bowie that I yet live.Carry on. Carry fire. ❤️Have a very Bowiesque Day.
Fav Bowie song, and that's saying a lot. Love how album cover words meld like the segments of this song and like riding a train feels like no resolution chords oh my, yougetmydriftoncethereweremountainsonmountainsamongsthemweresunbirdstosoarwithandonceicouldneverbedown!!!!!
Roy Bittan is an important name, Springsteen's piano man also on Dire Straits Makin Movies He's on three of my top ten albums with three different bands.
Grea song from a great album. Carlos Alomar on guitar, first showed up on his Young Americans album. He was the guitarist in the house band for The Apollo, and is amazing!
An amazing song. His “Thin White Duke” persona. References to the kabbalah, political ideology gone wrong, cocaine paranoia… Basically biographical for him at the time. Yes man Tony Kaye toured with Bowie for this album ❤
Bro trust me, there is a live version of this great song from 1983, I think it was in Atlanta. You got to watch that performance it's excellent. Rock on
Carlos and Earl are the best dissonant guitar players in rock.....and goes with out saying that Bowie is a genius vocalist, musician, writer and producer.
If you think this is good, you need to listen to the Man Who Sold the World lp. Width of a Circle…All the Madmen…The Supermen…She Shook Me Cold…all classics. Brutal yet poetic and deep. Don’t miss it!
Back in '76 this album was a real shot across the bow to the pop music scene, which was then in the vice grip of disco. Songs like "Golden Years" are a nod to the soul period that preceded it, but others like "TVC15" point ahead to the music he'd be making with Eno. This one sort of straddles the fence, the first part being more experimental while the second part gets your booty shakin'. 😁
I had the opportunity to see Bowie in concert 25 times (including Tin Machine & NIN). I still remember the first time I heard StS live during the '83 Serious Moonlight tour - AMAZING!
They didn't play this in the clubs. At the time, this album was really out there. Only the big DB fans were spinning this album. Except for Golden Years which was somewhat mainstream.
Great reaction! He is my favorite singer since im 16 years old. I saw him 3 times in concert. He has the greatest voice i ever heard. Other great songs to react to with great drums are: Look Back in Anger, Cat People and Jump They Say.
One dude Dave liked to work with besides Tony was Rick Wakeman. Dave was noted by many as a outstanding composer. A lot of what he did was well before it's time. He was a extremely talented performing artist.
Lucky enough to have seen Bowie in a few concerts over the years, and to see his alter egos, Ziggy Stardust, performing Diamond Dogs, or the Gene Genie you could also see those persona’s. When I saw the Station to Station concert, his Thin White Duke persona was an incredible, best concert I had seen of Bowie. This was the old Boston Garden, 1st row, first balcony, at a 25 degree angle from the stage, in short perfect viewing seats. The opening act was an Avant Garde film Un Chien Andalou by Luis Bunuel, and Salvador Dali, in short severely avant garde, but the perfect mood setter. By the time the concert rolled around, we had already dissected every inch of the album, even going so far as to look up what the hell Kether to Malkulth in lyrics meant. The band opened with Station to Station, and every foot tapping to the opening slow rhythm made the entire balcony bounce up and down in unison. The band and Bowie were killer. Take a shot at reacting to every song on this album, and remember when you hit TVC15, which is about doing so much cocaine, that the song is about hallucinations incorporated into his TV, and that this whole album was made in that cocaine snorting blow out period. 😉
Pick any song from this album and it is fire! Earl Slick did the solo as Carlos Alomar was mainly rhythm. This tour was fantastic....he was dressed in white and black and had only white neon lights - very bright. Hope you feel better! New subscriber!
Yesyesyesyes! Guess I gotta get up at 6 am again 😉 This is one of the few Bowie treasures that I never really enjoyed the live version. The studio copy is pure gold. Maybe that;s just me.
I believe at one point during the song you looked down at your notes and mentioned the name Carlos Alomar who’s a musician and writing contributor on many of Bowie’s albums. The reason I’m writing this is because, Bowie, Alomar and John Lennon co-wrote a hit song of Bowie’s, “Fame” which appears on the album Young Americans (1975). Lennon plays the little guitar lick in the background and does the background vocal response “Fame” to Bowie’s main vocal of the term “Fame”. I used to play this song on the jukebox of a bar I frequented in ‘75 never knowing at the time that Lennon was a big part of it. Maybe that’s one you might look into in the near future. It’s quite a good song. 👍 P.S. I really enjoy your videos.
The live version on "Stage" kills - the 1978 "Isolar II" tour band is stacked. A RUclipsr with the handle Nacho Video made a nice composite (album cut synced to vid of another show) video of this: ruclips.net/video/bnEc91KRKrc/видео.html
What's worth noting is that this album was conceived and composed when Bowie was in the Eastern Block (East Germany & Poland - Russian Controlled) and 13 years Before the Berlin Wall came down. When it came to recording it he used The TOP Session Musicians around at the time; Carlos Alomar & Earl Slick, with a Rhythm Section of George Murray (Bass) and Dennis Davis both (Drums) renowned for their "Funky" approach to improvising. Then of course Roy Bittan on Piano. who became Bruce Springsteens go to pianist. What a Line-up!.😎
Great Song and reaction Would love to see you react to Lou Reed ( a close friend of Bowie ) Lou Reed : Street Hassle off Album by same name Or Intro / Sweet Jane off Rock and Roll Animal
The lead guitar solos are Earl Slick, I think. Carlos was on rhythm guitar. Cool as f***. The rhythm section (Carlos, Denis and George Murray) are all black funk musicians. That's why it sounds so funky and tight.
Lee, you really have to see and hear this - no need to react to it but I know you're going to love it: Tony Visconti discussing Dennis Davis' drum and percussion tracks on Bowie's "Look Back in Anger" (1978) with Dennis' son: ruclips.net/video/6gCUBRFkvvU/видео.html Original video for "Look Back in Anger": ruclips.net/video/eszZfu_1JM0/видео.html (great song and Bowie looking his best - what a handsome man he was!) ❤
I think I mentioned when you did 'Stay' that Carlos Alomar likely played rhythm guitar on this, while lead was Earl Slick, who claimed to have blown out a several amps(Marshalls?) recording that feedbacky intro. Love this one, anyhoo, along with 'TVC 15', 'Golden Years' and 'Wild is the Wind', recorded for the 1956 film of the same name by Johnny Mathis (perhaps best known for Errol Garner's 'Misty'), and released as a single by him when I was 14 months old, November '57(!!). Nina Simone also covered it, she and Bowie met in L.A. in '75 and the encounter inspired Bowie to essay a version of his own. Also a standout from this period, Bowie influence and pal Lou Reed's 'New York Stars', which has one of my favourite opening lines as well as a wicked riff and groove. All I'm saying. Enjoy. 😉🤙🏼🎶❤️✨️🕊 Oh, here's a delightful little nugget I happened upon after going in search of my next vid-fix after finishing (I thought 😅) my comment here. Again, enjoy. ruclips.net/user/shortsjcGXvj5YeuQ?si=BuBuzOyGMMLdUPY_ Last edit. Promise.

I totally get it !
Great artist David was. RIP DAVID BOWIE
Lady Grinning Soul
Obviously a true Bowie fan.....Garson!
Check out his last album blackstar. It’s one of the most haunting albums of all time and a great fusion of all kind of genres
Yeah, it's bloody brilliant, I'm addicted I swear .
I never get tired of that switchup.
I would love to see you react to Sound and Vision!
The pianist is Roy Bittan, "The Professor", a long time member of Bruce Springsteen's band. He did an amazing job on this whole album.
My favorite Bowie album. Saw it live. Amazing band with Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick on guitars.
Davis e Murray
the live performance of this in 1978 with Adrien Belew on guitar is amazing & definitely worth checking out!
This is one of my favorite Bowie songs. This whole album is perfection. Bowie barely had any recollection of this period in his life. I only got to see him once and it was amazing. It was opening night of the Serious Moonlight Tour, he started the tour here in Philly and recorded the music video Modern Love from that show. ✌️♥️🎶
I was at that show too. My cousins friend still has one of the crescent moon balloons that came outta the big balloon.
Urgency in his music. Even in the croonier stuff. Great selection!
Looooooove Bowie and after he died I listened to this song every night just before sleep for months….
If you want to hear a totally different Bowie song just one year later i recommend 'Subterraneans'. Mostly instrumental song like most of this the album.
I will add it to my list! Thank you. Bowie has been one of my new favorite finds on here. This stuff is tasty 😁
The late, great Dennis Davis on drums gives a master class. He lays down such strong, articulate yet subtle patterns. Bowie loved this rhythm section so much that he toured and recorded with them from the mid-70s practically until the new millennium.
Bowie is a genius.

Please do "Wild is the Wind" from here also!
Or Word on a Wing. Amazing vocals.
I had suggested wild is the wind play twice- the first and last version with Bowie and Garson on piano!
Great track, on a great album.
I've had this album for almost 48 years.
Geez.
This was great!
Would like to recommend The Width of a Circle and All the Madmen from his Folk/Rock/Pop/Metal album The Man Who Sold the World (1970).
Most important though, keep on doing Bowie👍
The weird sound at the beginning is the train from the start of The Man Who Fell to Earth, which Bowie had just started in. The cover is a still from the movie.
Keep doing reactions to David Bowie he’s a Legend & Quality Simple as that by Number 1 fan

My favorite Bowie album. So many good songs on it, despite the fact that he hit personal lows in 1976.
This is my favorite Bowie song too ❤
I was lucky enough to see this song & this entire album performed live. It was one of my concert highlights of a lifetime!
I did too in Detroit....one of my favorite concerts!
Same album _ TVC15

The guitar solo was played by Earl Slick.
Watch the movie Christiane F - wir kunder vom Banhof Zoo. Bowie is there with this song.
Great song from a great album!
I bought this album when it came out. I really got into this song. It was only briefly played on the radio. Bowie was not mainstream then.
Back in '76 this album was a real shot across the bow to the pop music scene, which was then in the vice grip of disco. Songs like "Golden Years" are a nod to the soul period that preceded it, but others like "TVC15" point ahead to the music he'd be making with Eno.

I love David Bowie! So innovative and beautiful. My favorite album by him is Young Americans.
Perfect album opener... the return of the thin white duke. :)
This song and Stay are my faves from this album
Me too! Stay was fantastic as well. It's got an almost gritty, dark feel to it! I love it
I had the opportunity to see Bowie in concert 25 times (including Tin Machine & NIN). I still remember the first time I heard StS live during the '83 Serious Moonlight tour - AMAZING!

One of his bests right here!!
Yesyesyesyes! Guess I gotta get up at 6 am again 😉
This is one of the few Bowie treasures that I never really enjoyed the live version. The studio copy is pure gold. Maybe that;s just me.
Man that was silky smooth! That was some dirty shit... woo boy. Bowie can bring it lol
But that live version with Adrian Belew is pretty damn cool. But the studio version is magic...
I actually prefer the Stage album live version (and Glastonbury 2000) because the ambience of a live performance makes it sound 'bigger'.
Favorite song... but I always say that if it's Bowie! 🤗
My personal interpretation about this song is that David talks about becoming an European citizen again after his two years living in the USA.
Earl Slick did the solo on lead guitar. RIP Dennis Davis
Wild is the Wind! Thank u for this one!
Incredible performer! I had the pleasure of seeing his 'Serious Moonlight' and 'Glass Spider' tours in the 80s in Toronto.
Please more Bowie
There was so much great music created during this time...... insane.
Had this on 8 track. Great piece of work.
This is absolutely superb.
Denis davis Master ! rip 🖤

the best. check out DRIVE IN SATURDAY!
Stick with David Bowie. So much great stuff from the Thin White Duke!
This album was his least commercially successful, but it still had some great works on it.
Great artists....you can feel it.
Davis e Murray 👏💥
Bowie.
Genius.
'nuff said.
Simple as.
Oh boy you picked a good one. I saw Bowie on many of his tours. This song was a standout live at Nassau Coliseum. That's available on RUclips.
I love the Mick Ronson years from Bowie but Slick and Alomar are amazing.
Have you listened to “The Man Who Sold The World” yet? Really great.
What's worth noting is that this album was conceived and composed when Bowie was in the Eastern Block (East Germany & Poland - Russian Controlled) and 13 years Before the Berlin Wall came down.

He was hanging around with Iggy while in Germany
@@erolbulut2584 Yep, one year after this.
Great Song and reaction
Would love to see you react to Lou Reed ( a close friend of Bowie )
Lou Reed
: Street Hassle off Album by same name
Or
Intro / Sweet Jane off Rock and Roll Animal
Thank you jesse!! I appreciate it. I'll add those to my list thank you :)
A lot of Bowies best tracks are performed brilliantly at the BBC concerts from around 2000. On RUclips
david bowies best song is time will crawl
What a groove. Bowie was out there dude. It's too late!
David Bowie Live Nassau Coliseum'76. It's better to hear these songs live. I was at this show and it was one of the loudest I was ever at!
I come on as the last Too Late was said. That’s irony.
The lead guitar solos are Earl Slick, I think. Carlos was on rhythm guitar. Cool as f***. The rhythm section (Carlos, Denis and George Murray) are all black funk musicians. That's why it sounds so funky and tight.
saw him for this release. first and unfortunately the only time.
It’s like living in the era of Bach and Beethoven only with more and quicker access. to the music.
You just got another subscriber. Keep reacting to music this good and you'll get loads.
Bowie was definitely not from this planet. ❤😊
🙄 This is so hard to sing! 🤗 But I love the Thin White Duke! 🥰🐰
I saw David Bowie live and he and his band did this song. It was so good live
Should have done one of the live version but good pick anyway my man!
Live version of this on Bowie Stages is great. Belew on guitar and second half is faster.
Its supposed to sound like a train gathering speed.
Lee, you really have to see and hear this - no need to react to it but I know you're going to love it:

Original video for "Look Back in Anger": ruclips.net/video/eszZfu_1JM0/видео.html (great song and Bowie looking his best - what a handsome man he was!) ❤
I think I mentioned when you did 'Stay' that Carlos Alomar likely played rhythm guitar on this, while lead was Earl Slick, who claimed to have blown out a several amps(Marshalls?) recording that feedbacky intro. Love this one, anyhoo, along with 'TVC 15', 'Golden Years' and 'Wild is the Wind', recorded for the 1956 film of the same name by Johnny Mathis (perhaps best known for Errol Garner's 'Misty'), and released as a single by him when I was 14 months old, November '57(!!).
Nina Simone also covered it, she and Bowie met in L.A. in '75 and the encounter inspired Bowie to essay a version of his own.
Also a standout from this period, Bowie influence and pal Lou Reed's 'New York Stars', which has one of my favourite opening lines as well as a wicked riff and groove. All I'm saying. Enjoy.

Last edit. Promise. Another non-remembrance of the album straight from the horse's mouf.

More albums should start with train noises.
