I remember reading an interview in Rolling Stone magazine in the early '80's where Bowie said he barely remembered the '70's at all.
Reminds me of how Matthew Perry was on drugs during Friends and he can’t remember anything from Season 3 to 7 I believe.
I wish I didn't..but did/do.
It was about 18 months ... not the whole 70s
He didnt remember recording the station to station album at all lol
@@uscman Its sad reading this now weeks after his death
For being both extremely coked-up and nervous, Bowie acquits himself quite well I think
oh my he has a case of the sniffles
Although Bowie confessed to not being academic, he was nevertheless well read and well informed. He was deliberately playing down his levels of intelligence and knowledge ; years later, interviewers would discover what a great intellect Bowie possessed.
To me it was always obvious how freaking intelligent he was. Just the astronomical amount of creativity he possessed put him on a different level and that’s intelligence too.
He was deliberately playing down his intelligence? Uhhhh.... It's nice to make excuses for him, but no. He's a drugged up confused mess. Maybe not every day, but that day, he was.
@@JPVanderbuilt - It was a draw as to who was the most emaciated-looking at their worst: coked-up Bowie in 1974-75, Johnny Cash in the mid-1960's when his pill addictions were at their zenith, or Alice Cooper in the early 1980's while in a combo of drink and drugs that nearly knocked him out permanently.
Bowie was incredibly intelligent. His songs are full of references to science fiction and philosophy. He went to art school and didn't have an academic degree. He didn't really need to be an academic, he was already so knowledgeable.
In my opinion, David Bowie is one good looking man in this video
Yes always has been XX
Dated a Brit, for a few years, in the mid to late 70's.
She believed Bowie was the most beautiful human ever to live.
I never really saw it.
Always enjoyed his music and live performances.
But, all these years later and after watching this.
Kinda...Sorta understand where her head was, back then.
Regardless, she is a fond highlight, of my life, that comes with a Bowie sound track.
Oh, came here because of Ted Lasso.
Coked up to the max !!!
We will never have another Bowie. Guy was a legend. I put his creativity and talent up with anyone's.
This is the talk show version of the communication between Ground Control and Major Tom
I Hear You There, Giuseppe ✌😎
'A working actor' Spot on from Cavett
I don’t get it
@@seamac206 It think it means that Bowie is always pretending to be somebody else, hiding his true self.
Bowie looks like he be banging 7-gram rocks and likely exhausted from touring and jet lag, Cavett fishing for a thread they can follow.
The amount of cocaine in his system during this interview is beyond infinity.
he wasn't on cocaine, the cocaine was on him
Mount Kilamongero comes to mind
The Thin White Duke was in flight
Point?
Bowie is the living embodiment of how people are multi dimensional
It’s called drugs.
@@ClaudioBenassi No, it’s called a DIAMOND.
@@ClaudioBenassiyou look like the average straight white male. Get some personality!
@@ClaudioBenassi you poor thing.
He had a massive level of creativity that must have been hard to deal with. He was quite a person. ❤️
Love Bowie. He has the sniffles lol
He accidentally sniffed up some unmelting snow
And here I thought the sniffles was an 80's thing!
Columbian allergy season indeed 🤧
Bowie Forever!
Bowie's 'Thin White Duke' phase of his career. Another words...his cocaine usage
Amazing how many people picked up the coke ticks.
When you know, you know..you know.
@@jamesanderson348 and the nose touching and playing with his cane and sniffing.
It's pretty obvious. But that was back when everyone was doing it.
Bowie must have just done a huge blast just before he walked on stage. He is speeding like nobody's business...... lol!
Say it loud! 😂
8 Miles High comes to mind
He looked better in the 90's than he did in the 70's.
So true
Once he got out of LA, he straightened up and looked amazing, Germany late seventies was his most interesting artistically imo too
Yeah he stopped doing drugs and ate more than milk and red peppers.
Cocaine and milk, a David Bowie classic.
Don’t forget the Peppers
Elegantly super-wasted Bowie was deliberately playing out the part of the doomed and tragic rock star at this point and pushing himself to see how far he could take it . Cavett is/was a great host...you don't get this sort of thing today!
True. He was changing personas at a rapid rate by then which explains his coke addled state trying to keep up. The 70s were a time of pushing the bounds of artistic expression unlike today where performers are focused on the superficial as in the quantity of tattoos or piercings one can obtain.
Bowie was about personas and he played/lived this one to the hilt!.
@@jamesanderson348 - And we know how important personas are. Without them, we would leave in a world without personas. Maybe serponas, too.
Sniff sniff sniff. Bowie with a little nose candy before the interview
Our hero is COKED OUT!!!
It's funny because he's obviously done several lines of blow before the interview :-D
Several?!! How about the entire country of Columbia lol!!!!!
He's always been entertaining in his interviews..even when he's off his head!
“This is the picture you send to the Draft Board, obviously.” Lolololol
....i had to HIDE my copy of the album from my dad....
I’m so attracted to him just his whole vibe
High on drugs tense and nervous? I wonder how your taste in men has worked for you so far..
He was a darling.
Most people tend to look more unhealthy and less happy in 74/5 than they did in 70/71.
Hmmm. Interesting point. I was way different and challenged at age 19 in 1974 than I was in 1970 at age 15. Then again I had grown and was just discovering more of the world.
Sniffing! All coked up!😂
Bowie admitted he didn't remember recording Station to Station because he was high the entire time.
Can you say...fried. How he got thru that interview was a feat of Capricorn will and determination.
sniff , rubs nose , uncomfortable movement's, thoughts of paranoia until up on the 'Blow' then more comfortable but unmistakable drug movements. Basically Bowie was a rampant cokehead at this time, copious amount of the finest cocaine did he inhale. R.I.P.
Peoploids are written inside the cover story on Diamond Dogs.
I like to think that Bowie was drawing a pentagram in the carpet and Cavett decided to check if he was really listening by saying the concept Bowie was thinking himself, "black magic".
I was also thinking the same thing
We're the kick David?
What!?
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other Cavett ones.
David has been on the chang
David Robert Jones (Londres, 8 de enero de 1947-Nueva York, 10 de enero de 2016), más conocido por su nombre artístico David Bowie, fue un cantautor, actor, multiinstrumentista y diseñador británico.
🎤🎤🎭🎭🎥🎥⏱️⏱️📺📺📺📺⏱️⏱️🎥🎥🎭🎭🎤🎤
He seems so damn nervous on this.
Cocaine
Why not both? Bowie famously hated and didn't do interviews for the first part of his career.. Cavett was a rare exception. That he did an interview with Cavett was tribute to Cavett.
@@acchaladka Good points imo
It's definitely cocaine, just look how much he is sniffing and touching his nose.
@Honest Guy - While I can understand being antsy right after a perfomance at the beginning, but not this antsy for the entire interview. Obviously I can't prove it, but it's safe to say. These are documented as the cocaine years for Bowie.
Living on milk, peppers and lots of pharmaceuticals at the time!
This certainly fits in with Cherry Vanilla description of him at this time and also he didn't deny the Black Magic reference. He was heavily into the Occult and the work of Alistair Crowley which I think he was using the 'walking stick' as a magic wand. Drinking Milk (He never ate at all during this period). www.cherry-vanilla.com/david-bowie
So that's how you act when you know that everyone knows what you did in the dressroom.
Nothing a little liquid valium couldn't have cured.
I could hear the shushing of the audience. That "applaud everything" really became irritating after a while the more of this interview I watched.
Kokanes.
The coke sent Him to dark places in His psychy, but He is still riveting to Listen To here
2':35' This is the picture you sent to the Draft Board obviously..'Haha I've onl;y just got that'.. (I'm in the UK) Is the draft Board to evade conscription..so did he mean that 'he' was a 'she' because they had removed the todger and therefore exempt from conscription?
I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason?
How about any Honeymooners actors that were a part of the main cast?
Is this taping 50 years old? I barely remember Dick Cavett as a little kid.
people, bowie was considered a freak , by 1974 era, for the youth he was already a god.
He was an aspiration to me during that time.
HELLO! I was heavily criticized for being a Bowie fan during that time. Time proved me right!
@@jamesanderson348 ....me too.....time proved me right.....
Would you believe he passed a drug test that morning …
Nope
No..he's high
No haha lol so high here but still a darling xx
As much as I would the kid who will pass a test he didn’t study for
Dawg, you could tell he took a bump seconds before the camera turned on haha
So it is the sovereign? -JACK
The cover art is of the sovereigns true form? -JACK
Wow, he had some cold…
i honestly don't think that you could get any higher than that and still be talking to someone,and let's be honest be breathing
his fidgeting makes me so antsy lol
High as a kite 😜
That nose cold
Wow, he must've had a very nasty cold during this interview.
Cavett was a half assed interviewer here, but Bowie was a difficult subject at the time.
Cavett was always a snoozefest. I have no idea how he managed to pull the talent he did.
C'mon, what the heck do you do, live on TV, with a dude who's totally coked up?
I probably would have just asked him "Just WTF are you on?"...but that's one reason
I would make a terrible television host.
Oh come on, he handles it like a champ. Bowie is about to scratchhis own eyes out and Dick says, "so this is the photo you send to the draft board.."(the picture on the album cover of a half man half dog. Classic Cavett, he is the best interviewer bar none.
@@orangesurfboard2238 I completely agree. I think Cavett was fantastic. He seemed to handle a wide breadth of guests with such ease and respect. He engaged with Truman Capote and Grouchy Marx to Janice Joplin with the same steady and sincere deamenor. I find it impressive.
@@TEM14411 I’m Australian and so I didn’t grow up with him but I discovered him on UA-cam and he is the best, such a clever and sincere guy who really respects all guests. He represents the America I really love, open and tolerant.
Oh he is so sweeet! So nervous still... and the coke isn’t helping a bit! ...making it even worse!
Was this the one and only time Bowie din't know what to do with himself or how to behave?
Cocaaaaaiiiiine
@3.20, how can a TV Interviewer, Dick Cavett, mature-age, hosts interviews with folk, from ALL around the world, have NO IDEA WHAT "NICKED" means? !
....it's not a word we used for stealing in the USA....the only reason i knew is because BOWIE....used the word a lot...and he NICKED a LOT of ideas from his rock peers....lol...
It’s so painful to watch this haha. I’ll remember the Bowie from The Labyrinth and call it a day.
Don't do drugs kids....
Unless you want to be wealthy and famous beyond your wildest dreams.
Dick Cavett can be interesting, but mostly he had the opportunity to meet so many creative people and mostly he couldn't understand them.
Cavett knew he was high and did his best to not say the obvious. He tried to wrangle what he could get from Bowie at that time.
David Bowie was a distant relative to the Alamo hero Jim Bowie. Legend has it that if anyone called Jim BOWEE instead of BOOEE they were quickly introduced to the famous BOOEE Bowie knife !!!!!! Jim it is said was also great at taking on ten mexicano border jumpers all by his lonesome and gutting everyone.
David sold the knife at auction for 236000$ in 2004 at Southabees
i cant stand that fckin interviewer, he called Bowie a 'WORKING ACTOR' first of all, they are characters and then, he acts on the films and he does his characters. Then the interviewer asking somd fckin unconfortable questions, like CANT YOU SEE HE WAS FEELING SO BAD, we all know perhaps Bowie was on drugs at that time, but please stop making him feel unconfortable. David Bowie was, is and will be the best one, forever❤

sniff sniff wink wink haha
=====coked be yond belief
Actually Dick I'm presently immersed in the occult and black magic. Eating a steady diet of vitamin D milk and peppers as well as a daily regimen of a few g's of coke. next question please
You DO know he was heavily into cocaine at the time? Right?
It doesn’t really matter now…
…or then.
But the proof is in even the first minute or so of this clip.
I normally like his interviews , but there's a bad vibe here ..not sure , but Dick is quite awkward with David.
I think he’s intimidated and Bowie’s extremely high and out of it
He was high out of his mind on cocaine
I think Cavett was more worried about that cane Bowie kept fiddling with. Not to mention he was lit af.
Can you blame Dick...when your guest is higher than the empire state building
Sniff.
Legit getting some kind of psychosomatic chemical taste in the back of my throat from watching this lol.
70s was a dark time for Bowie
He was literally high on coke so he is all jumpy during this interview
He literally was doing coke during the Diamond dogs tour and if you see Cracked actor documentary you can literally see him look so lost and empty
i hate watching bowie on drugs, anyone really
It is is quite sad to see. I am glad he was able to beat the addiction over time.
Agree
Drugs!
COCAINE😁😁😁
Bowie once commented that he didn't remember any of 1974. Cavett is such an uninspired interviewer, you don't have to be strung out to not remember one of his shows.
Disagree. Cavett was a very insightful interviewer. He KNEW Bowie was high and just placated him.
"Cocaine is a helluva drug."
The hardest part of being a visionary has got to be dealing with the Dick Cavett types for publicity.
I don’t like seeing Bowie coked up like that 🤦♂️
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
You damn right 😂
finally found a comment quoting this!
Why is he sniffing so much ?
those were his heroin days..
Bowie looks So awfull here. My God he almost destroyed himself
The host was talking way too much, let Bowie speak, we want to hear the rock star not you mate.
Diamond dogs has the tackiest cover art of any classic album. One ziggy too many
