No, they sound like Bowie, not the opposite. Yes, Bowie has a great voice. Re listen, his ups & downs are crazy perfect. He is the best. I love you guys also btw
@@AirplayBeats no offense intended ..,Yes I know that you guys know that. That’s why I like you guys so much! Even back in the’70’s Bowie seemed like he was from the future. It shows that musicians like Daft Punk do a lot of research and know the good sh*t when they hear it. I’m always amazed at how hip hop producers know about obscure jazz records to sample. They obviously do a lot of research.
I couldn’t agree more! Of all of his great albums, Station to Station is my favorite Bowie album, closely followed by Low, which features more of Carlos Alomar’s amazing guitar work.
Learning from you on this one, Michael! Always like to hear all of the musical contributions in a song. I’ll certainly look into and remember Roy Bittan on this song!
Great reactions from you guys! Have loved Davids music since the age of 15 back in 72 And this one is possibly my favourite , the band were on Fire!! Carlos Alomar!, Earl Slick !! And the rest of the band! There's a fantastic live performance of this track an afternoon American TV show, Dina ? It's on utube, check it out people, Bowies dance moves are Sensational!!...
Bowie is just so timeless. Saw or heard this live in 78 during the station to station tour. I was 16 then, and it was love at first site.Been a fanatic fan since.
I was with my friend when he passed after a long battle with bone cancer. I was sitting with him for hours while he slipped away, listening to his favorite albums on a bose portable stereo in the hospice. Station to Station was the second to last album I put on before he went as he was the one who introduced me to it and I knew he loved it. I listened to "stay" on repeat for a week after. I'm so glad you both had a chance to experience this and had about the same reaction I did listening to it in his garage years ago. Thanks for jogging my memory ❤
That's a wonderful way to share those invaluable moments. How poignant. It must have made his heart soar. For all those I miss who have passed on, when it all gets overwhelming, I put this on. It's like David says, no matter where they are, "Everyone Says Hi!" ruclips.net/video/21P_H7XtlGk/видео.html
That was Earl Slick tormenting and then melting his guitar. Bowie never has a band that isn't a group of virtuosos. Now you're getting into the stuff that is more obscure but is precisely why Bowie was so influential. Musicians heard this shit. They know that he was indeed an alien trying to help us out in the only way we'd listen. My favorite albums are Hunky Dory, Young Americans and Station to Station. Taking away nothing from his other work. Ziggy and the Berlin stuff were amazing. You're starting to realize that the popular music wasn't all that defined Bowie. His production was prodigious and until you light into it you will not be in the proper state of awe.
There will never be another David Bowie! In a class by himself! So ahead of his time, so creative! The only artist who was able to re-invent himself over and over and so successfully! Saw him at Madison Square Garden on the Diamond Dogs tour and in Philadelphia for the Young Americans tour. They were amazing shows! None of his albums disappoint! I love his ballad Wild is the Wind!
He’s a genius. Please listen to interviews with him. He was so ahead of his time with everything. He’s hilariously funny too. A truly creative person in every sense.
Yes, his interviews are as fun to experience as his music is, I would say. Incredibly fun, and funny, and effortlessly brilliant, and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes as well as the ears! I will never forget his saying in an interview with Paula Zahn, back in the early aughts (or "naughties," as Bowie joked about calling that first decade!), that he was sure his last words would be "But...but!...but! [I have so much more I want to stay alive for, I assume he meant]. What a loss.
You want to hear great Bowie vocals, listen to Wild Is the Wind from this same album. To me Station To Station is one of the very few PERFECT albums recorded over the decades.
This song is fire! I caught this concert in Detroit in 1976....Earl Slick on guitar, George Murray on bass and the incredible Dennis Davis on drums. FIRE!
Thank you for making that distinction, his deep cuts are truly where it’s at.. as is usually the case with most artists imo. Radio “hits” are great, but often err on the side of OVER-caution, for that well rounded public appeal that won’t trip the FCC censors, or be too musically challenging for the average pallet. In contrast, the deep cuts are where the artists really branch out, explore new horizons, and shine. This tune is a perfect example, but there’s dozens of other examples from Bowie as well as dozens of other bands from those times.
You guys interacting is just a joy. I had a massive smile on my face from the start to the end of your video. David Bowie has been copied and inspired so many artists it is insane. And almost every album he released was markedly different from the previous one. The guy was incredibly inventive and creative musically and visually. A phenomenon! 😎
One of the greatest blends of disco funk & rock ever put to vinyl... the original chord pattern was used in a completely different track a year earlier, John I'm Only Dancing Again (w/Luther Vandross) from the Young Americans' sessions
Loyal BOWIE fan here.. stay is one of my favourite tracks so glad you guys are keeping his memory alive with your reaction’s..he’s got a beautiful voice you just have to listen to the right songs..❤️from 🇬🇧
Will probably never be able to name any Bowie song as my favorite, being there are so many. But I'd definitely label Stay as Bowie's coolest song he ever made.
You guys should watch the David Bowie documentary called "Moonage Daydream"! It is a fantastic film, very cinematic as opposed to strictly journalistic/documentary, and you will be fully amazed at the genius and brilliance of Mr. Bowie! That film takes you on a journey!
Bowie's genius was hard to measure. Always experimenting. Bravely trying new styles. In the early days of MTV, rap music was not played. The interview he did where he questioned the interviewer why that was, I believe, opened the door for rap and other new music to start being played there. Bowie said more with his eyes listening to the MTV spokesman stumble over his answers than he could ever say with his words. The public reaction forced corporate offices to change their policies and give those new stars the attention they deserved.
Artist of music. Vogue before Madonna. Chameleon. Trend setter. Innovator. Transformative. All Bowie...all the time. ONE of a kind.... Ziggy Stardust 🌠🌌
Dennis Davis, Carlos Alomar and George Murray - Bowie's all-time greatest rhythm section. The run of records they powered from 1975 to 1980 is just astounding.
After getting hooked on sounds of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, and a select few others, I found that David Bowie was in a realm entirely of his own. It's a challenge to articulate the impact David's music had on me, but I once read that Bowie had a unique ability to make even the recitation of people’s names in a phone book sound great, and I think I agree. Frequently, his songs were not only performed but also composed by him. He would play all the instruments,(not well but good enough) record the music, and then give it to his band members and say, "Play it like this, only better." At the age of 16, I started buying his albums, I played them so much even my mother started to like him. In later years, when we had a son, I found that playing Bowie's "Young Americans" cassette was the only reliable way to lull my son to sleep during car rides, starting when he was just six months old. If I dared to switch it off, he'd start to cry, but as soon as the music resumed, he'd contentedly drift off into sleep. Over the years, I've heard artists who bear a striking resemblance to David Bowie in their musical style and presentation. It's often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I must say, it's good to see the influence he continues to wield in the world of music. I always highly enjoy the opportunity to hear your insights on music, and I'm grateful for your honest reactions. Please, keep the musical conversations flowing and never lose the joy in doing so.
Wonderful to see you guys so animated over the brilliance of Bowie! frankly, I need to do a deep dive into his stuff,as this was new to me and I loved it too! I love his voice as well, La, the timbre or whjatever of it, the way he crisply utters words, his accent. His interviews are indescribably FUN to watch. He was a joy, and gave joy.
So great that you guys are listening to more Bowie! It's always the same tunes that everyone listens to: Space Oddity, Heroes, Ziggy Stardust. All good tracks, but there is SO much more to Bowie!
this is 1976 Fame is 1975. David Bowie influenced everyone from Madonna to Nine Inch Nails when musicians were asked who influenced them his name did always come up and that's one of the reasons he's so important for modern music.
This is crazy! I'm a huge Bowie fan and I've never heard this song for whatever reason. It reminds me of Parliment with George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, and Bootsy. But it's David Bowie, Mick Ronson, and whoever that bass payer was. They definitely took a page out of the Parliament book on this one. I'm gonna look him up. Thanks for the new fresh, old stuff! I loved it!
This was when Bowie slipped out of his Ziggy / Aladin Sane persona and into being " The Thin White Duke ", livin on a diet of cocaine and quarts of milk. He's singing both parts but an octave apart. He worked his vibrato in an unusual above to below note manner, really hard to imitate. The incredible rhythm section is Dennis Davis, drums, George Murray bass, Earl Slick and Carlos Alomar dueling their guitars in both the rhythm and solos. An engineer described Murray's bassline as "solid enough to support a Buick" !
Bowie made this album (“Station to Station”) during a period of heavy drug use (including a lot of cocaine) and was quoted as saying later that he barely had any recollection of the recording sessions. Still a great album, a total of six tracks and only one of them is under five minutes long. The whole record is definitely worth a listen.
This is when Bowie was living on milk and peppers and saving and refrigerating his own urine. In his TV appearances from this time, he looks like a zombie. Right after this he moved to Berlin with Iggy Pop and started the next phase of his career.
I first saw him do this song on The Dinah Shore Show, of all places. Afterward, when they did their sit-down interview, he was so wired he couldn't stay still. She reached over, grabbed his hand and held it, which settled him right down. Everyone in the audience went, "awww!" He came back to the show with Iggy Pop and during the interview when she asked him a question he said "I'm just here as Jimmy's piano player." The only thing stranger than seeing David Bowie being interviewed by this genteel Southern lady was watching her with Iggy Pop.
This was a great suggestion from a phenomenal album and there's also a song called " 1984 ".off of the Diamond Dogs album that reminds me so much of this one
Great Reaction! The tune is damn near 50 years old. The Jetsons…lmao. My favorite Bowie tune from back in the day. Makes me just wanna Strut down the driveway…..
I was thinking this was Adrian Belew, but glad to learn it’s Earl Slick cause the man is absolutely flat out gettin it on the track! I think maybe I had just assumed it was Belew since he’s with the band in the Live sequences in the film “Chiristine F.” This solo on the studio version really just sends me to the stratosphere.. just solid groovin straight through.
There is a version a video made in 2000 that kills it! Slicks guitar is mind melting! And of course Bowies vocals and how they are an instrument themselves!❤
He was King David by 1976; I'm exactly the right age to have been a 'Bowie casualty' and I was - I adored him. His voice is much better than you give credit to. He's a beautiful singer - check Wild Is The Wind from the same LP; it'll make you cry. This is absolutely nuthin' like Daft Punk (love them too) btw.
I saw Bowie in 1976 during the tour for this album. Probably the loudest show I've ever gone to! What a fantastic musician and innovator. There's an album on RUclips: Bowie Nassau Coliseum 1976. That's the where and when for me.
I've been a massive Bowie fan for more than 40 years, and have everything he's ever done. And this song is in my top ten Bowie songs. I love his singing here, although it's fair to say the band carries the day. This was the best rhythm section he ever had (as good as *anyone* ever had tbh): Dennis Davis on drums, George Murray on bass, and Carlos Alomar on rhythm guitar. Combine it with Earl Slick's stinging lead and you get one funky mofo of a groove. As someone else said, the '76 live version from Nassau Coliseum is absolutely insane, and includes Bowie singing a note that slurs and morphs into something properly unearthly. Seek it out guys, and keep up the great work!
Saw Bowie in Boston 76 tour. Intro to this song Bowie stayed side stage and let the guitarist whale...giving his moment in the sun. Then slides in for the vocals, spotlight center Magical Man and Performer.
'Stay' is one of my all time favourite Bowie songs. I saw him live at Earls Court in 1978 and this song was one of the highlights of a superb set, captured on the 'Stage' album. The unfortunately, technical difficulties meant that 'Stay' did not make the final cut. The later release did carry it though, but Adrian Belew's guitar was almost completely lost. Such a shame.
My favorite Bowie song is Ashes To Ashes. But he's played in quite a few rock genres. The Niles Rodgers produced Let's Dance is a great record. Niles Rodgers is someone you need to check out.
Bowie was a trendsetter for over 5 decades. Not many people show love to his last album, but the title track Black Star is a wild journey. Worth a listen.
No, they sound like Bowie, not the opposite. Yes, Bowie has a great voice. Re listen, his ups & downs are crazy perfect. He is the best. I love you guys also btw
Dennis Davis.... one of my favorite drummers of all time.... this song absolutely defines "the pocket".
si
Bowie doesn’t sound like Daft Punk, Daft Punk sounds like David Bowie .
Of course that’s what he’s saying. This was 70s and daft punk is when we’re alive.
@@AirplayBeats no offense intended ..,Yes I know that you guys know that. That’s why I like you guys so much! Even back in the’70’s Bowie seemed like he was from the future.

@@saxworthmusic we appreciate you always rocking with us. No offense taken.
Dang, this takes me back to high school. Class of ‘76. I’m 66 now and still rockin’ out to Bowie.
David Bowie was a walking ,talking, singing, living, acting, breathing performance art tour de force . He was and still is undefinable.
The entire Station to Station album is fire! The title track is ridiculous
I couldn’t agree more! Of all of his great albums, Station to Station is my favorite Bowie album, closely followed by Low, which features more of Carlos Alomar’s amazing guitar work.
@@DJBilodeauLet's not forget Roy Bittan on the piano.

Only six tracks but each one an epic
The title track is legendary.
Remember Bowie was still cutting the path in 76'.
Great reactions from you guys!
Have loved Davids music since the age of 15 back in 72
And this one is possibly my favourite , the band were on Fire!!
Carlos Alomar!, Earl Slick !!
And the rest of the band!
There's a fantastic live performance of this track an afternoon American TV show, Dina ?
It's on utube, check it out people, Bowies dance moves are Sensational!!...
That song is Bowie's ultimate combination of rock & funk. Earl Slick on lead & Carlos Alomar on rhythm guitar.
Bowie only played with great musicians!!
Bowie is just so timeless. Saw or heard this live in 78 during the station to station tour. I was 16 then, and it was love at first site.Been a fanatic fan since.
The connection you made between Daft Punk and this monumental track is most appreciated
Joy. Just pure joy.................................!
David Bowie was an incredible singer, songwriter, actor, artist. And NICE!!
Station to Station is such a great album.
If you want to experience Bowie's vocal range try 'Wild is the Wind'.
I was with my friend when he passed after a long battle with bone cancer. I was sitting with him for hours while he slipped away, listening to his favorite albums on a bose portable stereo in the hospice.

My all-time favorite! Earle Slick on guitar.
Disco, Funk hard rock all on one. Crazy good!
Bowie worked with so many artists and styles it will freak you out.
He’s BRILLIANT!!
The guys tearing the guitars on this track are Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick. Straight up monsters.
Yes sir. You speak truth therefore tell no lie.
There will never be another David Bowie! In a class by himself! So ahead of his time, so creative! The only artist who was able to re-invent himself over and over and so successfully!

Recommend some good interviews, there are too many
One of my favorites that has resurfaced on YT is him calling out MTV for refusing to play Black artists during an interview in the 1980s !
@@brewstergallery yes totally. So ahead of his time.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek the Parkinson interview and the Jeremy Paxman one are great for different reasons.
Yes, his interviews are as fun to experience as his music is, I would say. Incredibly fun, and funny, and effortlessly brilliant, and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes as well as the ears!

Maybe you should explore Bowie's "Young Americans" album. Expecially the songs "Young Americans", "Facination", "Right", and "Fame".
Bowie, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, The Dan, Zep .. Top-tier shit and that's it.
George Murray's bass is perfection on this song. Every note is just what it should be where it should be when it should be.
You want to hear great Bowie vocals, listen to Wild Is the Wind from this same album. To me Station To Station is one of the very few PERFECT albums recorded over the decades.

Bowie is always a great choice, he was the Chameleon of Rock, to me he´ll always be superlative, for I´m a long time fan.
I'm late to the party, but this is the BEST reaction to this track I've EVER seen ❤
Another influential and groundbreaking group that emerged in the early '70s and was one of David Bowie's favourite bands was Roxy Music...
Great Song, great reaction., thanks guys.
This man has so many hidden gems. The stuff played on the radio pales in comparison. They just never knew what to do with him❤
Thank you for making that distinction, his deep cuts are truly where it’s at.. as is usually the case with most artists imo.

Me too ! ma stay capolavoro ❤ Murray e Davis 👍👏
When Bowie gets in that groove, he wears it out. Thanks, guys.
Great reaction guys! Comparing Bowie to others in 1976 as Flintstones vs Jetsons, that's priceless!

I was wondering when you’d get around to David…. Awesome!
We did a few more Bowie songs earlier
"Changes," by Bowie is the first hit of his career, in the very early 70s. It's a great song. Hope you react to it.
Yet again the 70's 😊
It was an amazing decade. 👏
GREAT SONG, Early Slicks's guitar work is insane on this one! Nice one GUYS!! - - - - 1984- - - - -
This is ALL TIME!

Bowie was such a genius....so many great songs. Hard to pick a favorite. Haven't heard this one in years.... thanks!
Ooh Wee, David Bowie! Hot & Funky!
This was when Bowie slipped out of his Ziggy / Aladin Sane persona and into being " The Thin White Duke ", livin on a diet of cocaine and quarts of milk. He's singing both parts but an octave apart. He worked his vibrato in an unusual above to below note manner, really hard to imitate. The incredible rhythm section is Dennis Davis, drums, George Murray bass, Earl Slick and Carlos Alomar dueling their guitars in both the rhythm and solos. An engineer described Murray's bassline as "solid enough to support a Buick" !
Sounds bent..love it ❤
lol you guys are so great ! Bowie is just a good time … he gave you a little bit of everything and then some !!
The bass towards the end always gets me. Funky.
YES!! This is a great song! Bowie's voice does the same thing to me as David Gilmour's guitar does. 🤘🏽💜
His music was ans is future proof 💥
The thin white duke persona
Earle slick and Carlos Alomar
In guitar
Title track is totsl genius
Station to Station is a great album you should do completely.

This is one of the greatest intro ever. He did this live on the Dinah Shore show .
There's a great great live version of this on German TV in 1978, with Adrian Belew on guitar. Earl Slick is playing here.
Better version
I've just seen the video with Earle Slick. I'll look for the one with Adrian Belew.
@@bmiamiwai I think Earl Slick's playing on the original is better.
I was thinking this was Adrian Belew, but glad to learn it’s Earl Slick cause the man is absolutely flat out gettin it on the track!

As someone else said, the '76 live version from Nassau Coliseum is absolutely insane, and includes Bowie singing a note that slurs and morphs into something properly unearthly. Seek it out guys, and keep up the great work!
Great reaction guys , peak Bowie right here.
Vocals sound great to me…weeeeee!! Great reaction, this track is dynamite! 🧨
Guitarists Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick feature here. Amazing
Man, you guys have barely scratched the surface on Bowie. 71-73 Ziggy, 74-75 the Soul years, 77-78 Berlin
Saw Bowie in Boston 76 tour.
Intro to this song Bowie stayed side stage and let the guitarist whale...giving his moment in the sun.
Then slides in for the vocals, spotlight center
Magical Man and Performer.
Got get ya some David Bowie "Golden Years" or "Soul Love"....although this one here , stay , is my fave.
This song is from the same album as "Golden Years", "Station to Station", and "TVC19"! Great album!
David live lp same vibe crazy live lp width of a circle and big brother incredible
'Stay' is one of my all time favourite Bowie songs. I saw him live at Earls Court in 1978 and this song was one of the highlights of a superb set, captured on the 'Stage' album. The unfortunately, technical difficulties meant that 'Stay' did not make the final cut. The later release did carry it though, but Adrian Belew's guitar was almost completely lost. Such a shame.
This track is TIIIIGHT !!! The bassist, drummer and guitarist create the funk. Great choice guys!
My favorite Bowie song is Ashes To Ashes. But he's played in quite a few rock genres. The Niles Rodgers produced Let's Dance is a great record. Niles Rodgers is someone you need to check out.
Bowie was a trendsetter for over 5 decades. Not many people show love to his last album, but the title track Black Star is a wild journey. Worth a listen.
