David Bowie “I’m Afraid of Americans” on the Stern Show (1998)

[@icarumba5]

David Bowie was 51 y/o for that show. Amazing how young he looked for that age.

[@fdrstan]

He looks great but 51 is relatively young still. I know I didn’t think so when I was in my 20’s and 30’s.

[@KeizerHedorah]

He looks about 53 here but fosho

[@wildechild5]

Tomorrow January 8th would have been this geniuses birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mr Bowie.

[@marsoblivi0n945]

Love Bowie! But this song doesn’t hit as hard without Trent on stage and the incredible sound design with the two groups collaborating. Trent’s on another level compared to Bowies band.

[@LeTrashPanda]

He was married to a scary American but she made him famous.

[@keithramsay6923]

I was fortunate enough to see Bowie live in '95 with Nine Inch Nails as the opening act. Blew my 15 year old mind.

[@SSNESS]

Still the best country though

Same here, also in my teens. Definitely a concert I wish I could relive today! Which venue? I saw them in Hartford, CT

David Bowie was the coolest guy ever.

[@JosephHaubert]

I first learned about Bowie through Trent Reznor and NIN. This was the song that intro'd me to Bowie. I believe the whole album was off and on a project with Trent, I don't remember too much. I became a real Bowie fan after this. Ziggy Stardust is easily a top 50 album for me. Miss this legend!

[@therealjd1503]

One of my favorite Bowie songs

[@stable-shadow]

It was a great Birthday Show, one of the best songs anywhere! Such a beautiful Man.....missed terribly 🕊️

[@Excidium85]

You can hear Trent Reznor sing in the chorus! Awesome!

[@soundlinkmusicsupply7990]

That drummer is killing it.

[@petrhorcicka7542]

Happy Birthday, Mr. David Robert Jones. Jan 8 1947 - Jan 10 2016. You are missed by many.

[@mangasky7]

Simply sensational. The greatest rock star performance ever in the show's history. The world misses you badly, Thin White Duke. Everything went to hell after you left the planet.

[@random22026]

Never heard this one before. Impressed by the lead guitarist's whammy bar antics: sounds exactly like an excavating dentist's drill. Appropriate

[@chrisnavasatis6461]

Kinda happens when ya mix Bowie and NIN.

[@andydufresne8034]

I bought that album when it came out but have never seen it performed live and am amazed to see it performed on guitars when I always pictured it as all synthesizers.

[@Margie75]

Rest in Peace, David ❤

If I were Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) I would make an album tribute to Bowie or take unknown recordings of the Thin White Duke and (with permission of course) make an album BOWIE REZNOR now.

Near the stage on the bottom center to the rightish @ 5:15 is on his cell phone during the concert! What a dusch!

Interesting he's afraid of Americans and he wasn't even around to see our "shooter" era. Shock, public places.. I'm scared too and I unfortunately live in this mess

[@1988casco]

Prophetic in some ways. This show is from 1998 and America's "shooter" era started in 1999 with columbine, really gearing up after 2006 with Virginia Tech.

Is Howard that tall or is David that short?
