I was in HS and home sick the day this was broadcast. My mom always had Dinah on in the afternoon. I was half awake on the couch and David came on. I was already a huge fan and had no idea he was going to perform. I perked right up and felt much better when it was over! Thank you for all the music and memories David Bowie!
I too was in high school at that time. I was walking past my younger sister's room when Dinah Shore, (My friends and I in our snarky teens, called her "Dinisaur", announced that David Bowie was on the show. So I grabbed a seat, watvhed Bowie perform, and then laughed as Dinah Stuimbled her way through the interbview with David. You could see in her eyes saying, "How in the hell did I get into this?!" David was so polite as only an Englishman can be, I was telling an old friend about that show a few months back and she was laughing so hard that I thjought that she'd wet herself. Too Cool.

Evident on Young Americans and Station to Station. Number 6 Synth Pop after soul PERIOD. Lived in Berlin listened to bands from Germany.... CAN. KRAFTWERK. etc Number 7 New Romantic Period.... Visited Embassy club in London inf by that movement Number 8 sells out his creative work and becomes "DAVID VEGAS"... NILE RODGERS and LETS DANCE After that career took a nose dive. Lived on his past. Lost his creativity. Became a BEST OF TOURIST going on concerts living past glories... Then 1987 and NEVER LET ME DOWN...which he admitted was attrocious. Original NO Influential YES Which is totally different
Steffan Hoffmann I think we all know what a magpie he was. Heavily influenced as you outline, but come on, he is no copy of those who inspired his phases. His lyrics, persona & performance are utterly not of those you listed. Also, as he said, triggering off others is fundamental to rock & roll. If copying was all it was, there’d be many like him. There are precisely zero others. Mid career he was lost. But what about Heathen? And Outside? Let alone Blackstar? He was no flash in the pan :) I’ve never missed someone as much as I miss David Bowie in my life, just knowing he was out there added greatly to my experience of being alive. I’m often so sad he’s gone. Most days, actually. For me, the most formative artist of my life. Sorry, I’m being melancholic. Be well :)
@@steffanhoffmann8937 Disco rip off? - like 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy' or the Rolling Stones' 'Miss You'... lol The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars = Iggy? That's incredibly reductive. Hunky Dory and the Velvets? = Queen Bitch. Low and Heroes transcend (diverge from/expand upon) their source in German electonica. The 'New Romantics' (Blitz Kids) began with Bowie nights. The originality lies in the way he was able to assimilate/synthesize/amalgamate information. Then bring to that, imbue it, with a potent symbolism.
The dance moves, the sheer stage presence, oh my! And then he comes off stage and he's a perfect gentleman, who also happens to be very intelligent and well-spoken. What a classy man.
I've spent months trying to to figure out how he could make him self look so perfect,beautiful,and regal while simultaneously acting affable, and just so adorably dorky. I will always love him. God rest your soul Starman.
There is nothing here that's not from a whole different level. The vocals, the moves, and that absolutely killer band. So glad this was captured on tape!
dennis davis was such a bad ass, a drummers drummer who never got talked about except amongst other drummers and bowie fans, my he rest in piece as well.
It’s a public ie private school accent tho he didn’t go to one: he likely imitated the enunciation of classically trained actors he knew like Lindsay Kemp (who also taught another great, Kate Bush, also from south east London/north west Kent.
Boudica X He danced like this on the 1976 Isolar tour as I witnessed personally at Wembley Empire Pool (before they changed the name to Wembley Arena) in May of 1976 !
Dinah Shore was such a lovely woman and a wonderful host. She was very inquisitive, but always kind and respectful. She really got Bowie to open up and to talk about some interesting things.
Also if you look at most of the interviews of the time, Bowie is completely mentally checked out in most of them. The fact that he’s coherent in this interview is also quite indicative that he has so much respect for Dinah
Thankfully I discovered David back in 1969. Became instantly a big fan of his music and still am in 2021. I got to see him in concert over 35 times...how can I not?
I mirror everything you say lost count amount of times saw Bowie in concert first time in 73 and now with the new film due I feel as excited seeing him now as I did all those years back for the first time.
@Hornchurch95 I’ve been watching videos from that concert at hammersmith for a long while now, and I love them all. It seems like such an amazing concert with a very active wild feel, and I’m obsessed with the idea of having been able to attend that concert. I hope one day I can see a concert with that similar energy.
I listen to one or more of Bowie's albums a week to this very day. I will never tire of David! I don't think there will ever be another artist as talent, artistic, fashionable, trendsetter, and gentleman to every fan and interviewer even when they got on his nerves by asking his sexuality over and over. He will forever influence music in the future after we are all gone. I just hope if I come back it is in the same era as Bowie. His passing still breaks my heart and his death affected me so deeply, it felt like my own family member passed away. I also ordered Black Star, from Amazon, and it was so heartbreaking because I received it in the mail the same day that David passed away. I almost was afraid to listen to the album, but it was such a gift from him to us fans and another one of a kind creation of Bowie turning his death into art. He has broke more barriers than any other musician. My world has been on a tilt ever since his presence left me/you/us. If you are a true Bowie,lover I'm sure you get me and know what I'm talking about. ❤️🌠
@@patriciahargraves4243, I totally know what you are talking about. I really couldn't listen to anything from Black Star. I was a little too devasted by his passing. Maybe one day, I'll get the courage to, but until then, I just cherish his other incredible work. By the way, do you have any favorite Bowie albums or tunes?
@@shadowmixx Yes Shadow I do have several favorites! I still love hunky dory, face oddity and of course Ziggy stardust and I think like 5 years and Star are favorite songs of mine. Mine. I also love his Berlin trilogy, and then I love the album Low, from beginning to end. I also feel the same about Station to Station, from beginning to end. As a matter of fact I was 14 years old and that was my first concert Station to Station, then the next time I saw him he was playing keyboards for Iggy Pop which was great. It was at a very small venue. I saw David probably about 20 times. Maybe a few times more. I think I've seen Iggy Pop about 30 times or more. I actually used to be pretty close friends with Iggy. Another story at another time. Take care and feel free to share your favorites with me. I do love Black Star now, you you have to listen to it . He left that as a gift to us fans. My best friend Mark never listen to it and he died a year later of the same disease. Hepatitis c. I also have to share with you shadow that sometimes from month to month I have a different favorite album. Like I'll go through a phase of just listening to Aladdin Sane. And then I will go days listening to diamond dogs and then the diamond dog's life at the tire tower theater in Philadelphia. There is probably a song on every album of his that I like. The one album I really didn't like was black tie white noise.
@@patriciahargraves4243 Cool. I actually got into David Bowie's music a little later than a lot of fans. I came in on the Young Americans album. I love every song on it. I also love the entire Aladdin Sane album. Aside from that, I'm a huge fan of his singles such as John I'm Only Dancing, Ashes To Ashes, Rebel Rebel, Golden Years, The Jean Genie, Changes, Space Oddity, Life On Mars?, Modern Love, China Girl, Under Pressure, Suffragette City, Fashion, etc.
Even today ( 2019 ) , after so many years, he looks so contemporary in sound , presentation , vibe , EVERYTHING . No one like him . So sad he is no longer with us.
Bowie had an incredible aura around him, just like Mercury and Jagger. They were all very mesmerising, mystifying and intriguing and really had massive stage presence. When they spoke, you really listened. All legends. Bowie was the best though - he really was like somebody from another planet.
im 14 and one of my favorite movies when i was little was labyrinth, i vaguely remember my parents playing it and talking about how sad it was that david had just passed away. i got into him 6 or so months ago and he’s the most fascinating, beautiful person i’ve ever seen. i wish i could’ve seen him in his golden years.

Bowie said that he has no recollection of making "Station To Station", such was his heavy addiction to cocaine. Despite that, he still gave highly professional shows. Iggy was very impressed with his work ethic, which gave him the motivation to get off heroin. Anybody who saw the Thin White Duke at the height of his icy powers in 1976, will tell you that those shows were the greatest performances to grace a stage.
David Oscar Flores “Iggy” is Iggy Pop aka Jim Osterburg or more specifically, James Newell Osterberg Jr. and his band was called the “Stooges”. He was a close friend of David Bowie’s and they lived together in Berlin for a time in the late 70’s. David also toured with Iggy for a while back then, playing piano with his band.
I saw this when it first aired. I knew he would be on and I ran home from school, commandeered my Dad's TV in his TV room, and squealed with delight throughout the entire show. My Mom would appear in the doorway and she just shook her head and went back to the kitchen. One of many great Bowie TV moments I was lucky to witness. I have this on a VHS tape but I really appreciate you uploading this!
A time in history that Mr David Bowie proved to be a complete star I was so lucky to have this man in my life growing up we will never see the likes again when we got so excited to learn of a new LP from this great man
Saw him with this very band in Atlanta in ‘76 at the old Omni when I was in my third year of college. I’m in my mid sixties now and I never forgot that concert.
He's doing The Mashed Potato. Both Davids probably knew it in the 60s. There was even a song for it called "Mashed Potato Time" in 1962, when Bowie would've been 15 and Byrne 10. My mom was 14 in '62. She had that record and could do this dance.
I always thought Stay was one of Bowie's best songs, if I remember it came from "John I'm only dancing again". I've played gigs and done some records in a band situation and you're only as good as the band you're playing with and Bowie's band here are awesome, brilliant musicianship.
For far too many years I've tried to recall not only the name of a song by David Bowie based on a little bit of it in my mind. So here it is, after decqdes of wonder, now, on February 17, 2014 it appears while I am " browsing the net". To make matters even more intriguing, at least to me, I am visiting a place that is very very special to me and where some pretty unusual things have taken place....❤
There was just something so adorable about Dinah. Her personality was fantastic, but I could sense, especially with singers and musicians that she could relate to them on an equal level. I can see that she really admired David.
You are so right. Roxy Music with Bryan Ferry were trailblazers in the art rock world (with Eno and after his departure.) Like Bowie, they were so ultra talented and beyond cool!!
Dinah shore always has this reputation of being sweet and anodyne and dated, but you can see here that she's actually very brave and incisive in her questioning. It's quite startling.
76 sticks as the year of the snaggletooth in my mind. Some people had something else around their neck but hey - Nixon was toast, and nobody knew how bad Carter was going to be [yet]. It was a year with no brakes.
Bowie is completely straight for this performance, It was likely he was, of course, out of his box most of the time but he is lucidity itself here. Those opining otherwise need to get out less.
Wow the interview halfway through is something else. Love how laid back and free form 70s talk shows were. Something got lost when hosts started playing a more energetic role in the discussion.
Agreed! Only Carson was at the helm of his show and somehow stayed intimate. But Bowie…yeah Bowie on Dinah? This is so awesome. I saw him in 78 at the Forum in L.A. Like being in a dream for 2 hours! ❤
David Bowie had such a beautiful smile - you don’t see it appear very often in photos, but when you do in live performances, etc… it just warms my heart! ❤️
He is initially suffering exhalation race here, a common downside of high grade cocaine, on the borderline of palpitation. The rapid panting is a giveaway. Still never mind. He was a good Englishman and that should be good enough for anyone. The Fonz got eclipsed here, but Henry Winkler is a lovely geezer. Great post, thank you
@@badgrand thank you. It wasnt a criticism, just an observation as I am "in the medical trade" and he was clearly in physical distress. Grateful to @Simon Hill for his considered contribution too. Wishing everyone well
Oh his dancing with his beautiful smile is the most beautiful thing in the world 🌟 how does he dance that beautiful? He is an incredible dancer !love you starman 🌟 you are my prettiest star 🌟
Great Bowie mentions Ferry and Roxy Music since as all we young Britons knew, them and Bowie were the pioneers. That they hit the charts remains a thing of wonder.
Many thanks for sharing this. I was unaware of this appearance but when he and Iggy appeared on her show the following year I played hooky from high school in order to watch it live. He changed my life profoundly that year - 1977 - and I still can’t understand the fact that he’s truly gone.
Oh 'For Your Pleasure' is as good an album as any ever released. In fact 'Roxy Music', it, 'Stranded and 'Country Life' are as good a first quartet of albums any band ever have started with. Oddly Eno's favourite is 'Stranded; made just after he left them, to be replaced by whizzkid EddieJobson.
One of my favorite Bowie songs! I always loved him. Loved how he made being different cool. He really helped me when I was growing up and I will always be grateful to him for that.
"I'll just have coffee to follow" - what a graciously witty man. Thinking of his remarks here on self-determination, how it must have tied in to Iggy's high praise of the strength of character involved in kicking his drug addiction; how that addiction must have hampered the man who valued his self-determination so highly; the Berlin trilogy of albums that came immediately after and out of that, and which so thoroughly trounced peoples' expectations of him. I hope he's resting well.
Oh my God I don't know how I stumbled on this tonight I have not seen this for twenty years this is quite amazing I'm not clear who posted this but thank you so very much for doing so❤❤❤
That really cooked: seeing Alomar and Slick and that rhythm section are a truly great bunch. He really was astonishing, a great and obviously so: the moves, the sound the look, everything. Hugely missed.
@@joe22589 You are, of course, correct Joe.It is Stacy Heydon and I need a kick up the arse. I bloody well watched the May 7th gig at Empire Pool so I shouldn't have made a mistake. What a simply wonderful workout by David and the boys; brilliant.
Bowie, even coked out of his head, was always a gentleman who respected a lovely southern lady, Dinah Shore, who managed to melt Burt Reynolds’ heart back in the day
Never realized the first time I saw this that Tony Kaye of Yes was the keyboard player in Bowie's '76 band. He doesn't get as much attention as his other keyboard players through the years.
David Bowie's concept of theological love would have pleased the mediaeval love poets. It is not every man that realizes that much. God bless you, Bowie!
your comment reminded me of this song which if I remember correctly was popular around the time of this interview in the mid seventies ua-cam.com/video/eKfvXBDSiU4/v-deo.html
Stay is my favorite song from his classic timeless "Station to Station" LP. Love this live performance, interview from the Dinah Shore '76 show. LOVE Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music too. 💯💫
Dinah is so warm to David, interested yet not presumptuous at all. David is apparently happy to disclose, where in some interviews, such as the infamous Russell Harty interviews, where the interviewer makes a rude fool of himself.
Love the fact that Bowie appreciated Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry saying he was his favourite song writer and band. Awesome praise. Ferry and Bowie influenced so many bands with their style, vision and sounds. Privilege to have been born in an era where their music was off the chart. It’ll be another sad day when Bryan passes…
Finally uploaded the whole show...

David Oscar Flores “Iggy” is Iggy Pop aka Jim Osterburg or more specifically, James Newell Osterberg Jr. and his band was called the “Stooges”. He was a close friend of David Bowie’s and they lived together in Berlin for a time in the late 70’s. David also toured with Iggy for a while back then, playing piano with his band.
I saw this when it first aired. I knew he would be on and I ran home from school, commandeered my Dad's TV in his TV room, and squealed with delight throughout the entire show. My Mom would appear in the doorway and she just shook her head and went back to the kitchen. One of many great Bowie TV moments I was lucky to witness. I have this on a VHS tape but I really appreciate you uploading this!
Smoking Bowie. Coke and smokes and he still had a voice. Mr. Bowie must have had one of the greatest diaphragms ever.
It contributed to his death tho
He had a great female contraceptive
@@steffanhoffmann8937 he died living a billion lifes
@@marky1888no1 Conceded I concur!
Lots of singing greats smoked. It really wasn't unusual. Freddie Mercury, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, even Maria Callas, need I go on?
Magnificent. Must have been so thrilling in the 70s to see what Bowie would do next.
it sure was !!
A time in history that Mr David Bowie proved to be a complete star I was so lucky to have this man in my life growing up we will never see the likes again when we got so excited to learn of a new LP from this great man
The greatest artist in all of history. OXOXOX We all miss the world with Bowie in it. His work is like opening a new treasure everytime. OXOX
Best Rhythm section in the universe...period.
Gettin' right on down
You hear the jazz groove in there? So sweet. :)
Yup
Saw him with this very band in Atlanta in ‘76 at the old Omni when I was in my third year of college. I’m in my mid sixties now and I never forgot that concert.
Dennis Davis and George Murray may very well be the most underrated rhythm section in rock history.
Bowie's dance in the beginning is surely an influence on David Byrne
He's doing The Mashed Potato. Both Davids probably knew it in the 60s. There was even a song for it called "Mashed Potato Time" in 1962, when Bowie would've been 15 and Byrne 10. My mom was 14 in '62. She had that record and could do this dance.
@@thepepperpot3809 at last! Knowledge. Thx
I attended one of his shows in 1974.
David Bowie LIVE tour.
Most extraordinary.
Me too!!
@@jamesanderson348 NICE! ✌
Lucky yall
I always thought Stay was one of Bowie's best songs, if I remember it came from "John I'm only dancing again". I've played gigs and done some records in a band situation and you're only as good as the band you're playing with and Bowie's band here are awesome, brilliant musicianship.
Still as thrilling as ever. Alive or dead, David Bowie has always been my first and last love.
...word...
Wow, what a time capsule. 😊
STAY is one of my absolute favorite Bowie songs that stood the test of time!!!
For far too many years I've tried to recall not only the name of a song by David Bowie based on a little bit of it in my mind. So here it is, after decqdes of wonder, now, on February 17, 2014 it appears while I am " browsing the net". To make matters even more intriguing, at least to me, I am visiting a place that is very very special to me and where some pretty unusual things have taken place....❤
He's so adorably dorky during the karate segment. It's endearing.
The Pepperpot yesyesyesyes :):) I love this man and I always will
Me, only halfway through the video: the WHAT NOW
There was just something so adorable about Dinah. Her personality was fantastic, but I could sense, especially with singers and musicians that she could relate to them on an equal level. I can see that she really admired David.
He just knew how to surround himself with the best most creative musicians, and create the most mesmerising sound
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT BIENG IN LOVE AND LOVE IS TRULY PROFOUND.
Yes he was well read.
true that
I liked Bowie's generous shout out to Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music!
You are so right. Roxy Music with Bryan Ferry were trailblazers in the art rock world (with Eno and after his departure.) Like Bowie, they were so ultra talented and beyond cool!!
Dinah shore always has this reputation of being sweet and anodyne and dated, but you can see here that she's actually very brave and incisive in her questioning. It's quite startling.
Bowie wasn't coked up. Cocaine was Bowie'd.
I agree.
76 sticks as the year of the snaggletooth in my mind. Some people had something else around their neck but hey - Nixon was toast, and nobody knew how bad Carter was going to be [yet]. It was a year with no brakes.
lol
Bowie is completely straight for this performance, It was likely he was, of course, out of his box most of the time but he is lucidity itself here. Those opining otherwise need to get out less.
Yeah, cocaine was lucky to have found Bowie for a few years
What a mix of cultural figures. The 70s, man.
There is always another David Bowie song you never heard before. Then your like ….wow that’s a awesome song..
Wow the interview halfway through is something else. Love how laid back and free form 70s talk shows were. Something got lost when hosts started playing a more energetic role in the discussion.
Agreed! Only Carson was at the helm of his show and somehow stayed intimate. But Bowie…yeah Bowie on Dinah? This is so awesome. I saw him in 78 at the Forum in L.A.
Like being in a dream for 2 hours! ❤
David Bowie had such a beautiful smile - you don’t see it appear very often in photos, but when you do in live performances, etc… it just warms my heart! ❤️
He is initially suffering exhalation race here, a common downside of high grade cocaine, on the borderline of palpitation. The rapid panting is a giveaway. Still never mind. He was a good Englishman and that should be good enough for anyone. The Fonz got eclipsed here, but Henry Winkler is a lovely geezer. Great post, thank you
flashtheoriginal He had just come off stage from dancing and belting it out on National TV.Its called excitement. Who cares,anyway?
Yeah, I was surprised how exhausted he seemed when he was done singing. But he still had the moves! What a loss.
Yep, spot on. Having been there myself I noticed it immediately.
Borderline cardiac arrest I would’ve thought.
He was in the worst shape this year(in terms of health). Anyway, Interesting insight
@@badgrand thank you. It wasnt a criticism, just an observation as I am "in the medical trade" and he was clearly in physical distress. Grateful to @Simon Hill for his considered contribution too.
Wishing everyone well
Oh his dancing with his beautiful smile is the most beautiful thing in the world 🌟 how does he dance that beautiful? He is an incredible dancer !love you starman 🌟 you are my prettiest star 🌟
I actually remember this show. "Stay" is one of my favorite Bowie tunes, so relatable, so timeless.
You've really got to hand it to Dinah for recognizing Bowie's genius then. He must have truly been alien to most of her audience in 1976.
So the Man who Fell to Earth can also Dance as well as sing.
David Bowie arguably the greatest stage performer in the history of popular music
I watched a little of this as a KID. HA! Bowie is tres cool.
John Butler me too
This is why I love UA-cam. David Bowie on Dinah Shore 1976 at my fingertips!!!
He's got the moves!
The way he's swinging in this is just too adorable my heart's gonna burst 😆
Fascination never ends
Thats it thats my new Dad Dance at the Christmas Bash😀
Huh? The fuck you talking about?....No one gives a shit about you procreating
I love his image at this time the hair colour and the style
His interaction with the karate guy is not to be missed!
Great Bowie mentions Ferry and Roxy Music since as all we young Britons knew, them and Bowie were the pioneers. That they hit the charts remains a thing of wonder.
I will forever miss him. What a legend...
It's sad that there is no 21st century Bowie in the wings coming through. I'm so glad that I was alive to witness Bowie.
This is my new favorite video on the internet.
Many thanks for sharing this. I was unaware of this appearance but when he and Iggy appeared on her show the following year I played hooky from high school in order to watch it live. He changed my life profoundly that year - 1977 - and I still can’t understand the fact that he’s truly gone.
When Bowie offers such praise for Roxy Music... LISTEN to him.
Oh 'For Your Pleasure' is as good an album as any ever released. In fact 'Roxy Music', it, 'Stranded and 'Country Life' are as good a first quartet of albums any band ever have started with. Oddly Eno's favourite is 'Stranded; made just after he left them, to be replaced by whizzkid EddieJobson.
YES
One of my favorite Bowie songs! I always loved him. Loved how he made being different cool. He really helped me when I was growing up and I will always be grateful to him for that.
Bowie's "bite" at 9:20 and Dinah's "Ooh I like that"...love it
Such a musical genius. Way ahead of his time. I miss him....
I love seeing him dancing. First white invited to the mythical SOUL TRAIN.
WRONG. Elton John was the first.
@@flowerdoodle2438 bowie was before Elton...
Guitarist Dennis Coffey was the first white lead performer on Soul Train, followed by Gino Vannelli. Elton would feature not long after Gino.
Definition of a rock star, just supreme. I must have watched this 100 times and I'm sure I'll watch it 100s more. Genius.
Henry Winkler is such a Bowie fan and booster, it's great.
Funktastic 70's Bowie! Diggin' the dance moves and soulful pipes! Coolness!
That band is ON FIRE!
Love this look on David Bowie New Romantics look was just around the corner of the early 1980s miss him so much he was such a legend
i can't believe he was on dinah shore lol. please! yet still - a magnificent live performance
For just a few brief glorious moments it was a Saturday night here in 1977, watching Bowie and awaiting Gilda Radner at 11:30 pm.
I was so in love with a beautiful blond headed girl back in 76. Lost her long ago but still think of her all the time.
What a brilliant, charming, talented man.
"I'll just have coffee to follow" - what a graciously witty man. Thinking of his remarks here on self-determination, how it must have tied in to Iggy's high praise of the strength of character involved in kicking his drug addiction; how that addiction must have hampered the man who valued his self-determination so highly; the Berlin trilogy of albums that came immediately after and out of that, and which so thoroughly trounced peoples' expectations of him. I hope he's resting well.
That line was hilarious and brilliantly delivered! I think it may have gotten a wee bit lost in the chatter.
Great song! I always loved the words. His dance is amazing btw
the year I met him in Hamburg, these dance moves are unique and timeless, like his whole art
DB is/was one cool ass cat.
This performance is still fresh and stylish now.
The king of cool!
So young and still so mature, so easy! Pure genius!
This is so cool :) i love bowie sm
He's so handsome here... or anywhere. But especially here.
Oh my God I don't know how I stumbled on this tonight I have not seen this for twenty years this is quite amazing I'm not clear who posted this but thank you so very much for doing so❤❤❤
That really cooked: seeing Alomar and Slick and that rhythm section are a truly great bunch. He really was astonishing, a great and obviously so: the moves, the sound the look, everything. Hugely missed.
Are you sure that there is Slick on the lead guitar? I do not think so ...
Stacy Headon on lead guitar. Slick lost the gig before the tour
@@joe22589 You are, of course, correct Joe.It is Stacy Heydon and I need a kick up the arse. I bloody well watched the May 7th gig at Empire Pool so I shouldn't have made a mistake. What a simply wonderful workout by David and the boys; brilliant.
I love Bowie to the moon but I could just listen to that band even without him all day
gary morgan if I may ask, how was the gig, gary? Thanks
I love how he gives Dianah a little hug before they sit down
Bowie, even coked out of his head, was always a gentleman who respected a lovely southern lady, Dinah Shore, who managed to melt Burt Reynolds’ heart back in the day
This is quintessential seventies. A musical genius on a daytime talk show happened all the time.
Never realized the first time I saw this that Tony Kaye of Yes was the keyboard player in Bowie's '76 band. He doesn't get as much attention as his other keyboard players through the years.
His band is amazing..and his moves.Oh my heavens his sweet demeaner.
Dinah had empathy, which is very evident here.
David Bowie's concept of theological love would have pleased the mediaeval love poets. It is not every man that realizes that much. God bless you, Bowie!
I don't know about you, somehow it made me cry, don't know why.........
For the good times and creativity we have lost maybe? I do this all the time :-(
@@ichhasseamerika thanks Bob for caring to respond!
@@ichhasseamerika melancholy and memories and lost youth/by- gone-era! 😢
your comment reminded me of this song which if I remember correctly was popular around the time of this interview in the mid seventies
ua-cam.com/video/eKfvXBDSiU4/v-deo.html
TWEARS ARE GUSHING AS I AM WATCHINBG NOW
This is a stunningly amazing performance.
Stay is my favorite song from his classic timeless "Station to Station" LP. Love this live performance, interview from the Dinah Shore '76 show. LOVE Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music too. 💯💫
Dinah is so warm to David, interested yet not presumptuous at all. David is apparently happy to disclose, where in some interviews, such as the infamous Russell Harty interviews, where the interviewer makes a rude fool of himself.
Love the fact that Bowie appreciated Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry saying he was his favourite song writer and band. Awesome praise. Ferry and Bowie influenced so many bands with their style, vision and sounds. Privilege to have been born in an era where their music was off the chart. It’ll be another sad day when Bryan passes…
that's a ballsy choice of song for Dinah Shore show. Love it
