[@michaelrogers7426]

You must do the lead song, Station to Station, from the same album. It is like this song (great guitar work and build up) and is an epic. EPIC! When it came on the radio in the ‘70’s you stopped and listened for 10 minutes.

[@djanga166]

Yes please

[@kenthomas1845]

I had the immense privilege of seeing Bowie about 7-8 times between 1974-80, and saw the Station to Station tour twice. The man was simply amazing and has always been my all time favorite. Great pick Ken. I agree that the title track is brilliant as well.

[@mattleppard1964]

100%

[@vickithurston3696]

The brilliance of Bowie again!

[@vickithurston3696]

The brilliance of David Bowie once again!

[@lunhil12]

So melodic and funky, could be one of his best. Oh yeah, that guitar digs right in.

[@mrmusic248]

For there only being 6 songs, "Station To Station" is a monster album. Less IS more with this record, and that rhythm section...... Please do the rest of this CD, SOON.

[@AntonyFleck]

Bought it on release, very possibly my favourite Bowie,was in my late teens and maybe too many good drugs? But I'm still alive and twitching, a Grandfather now and this music still kills me! The musicians in that band were amazing and played with Bowie for years!!..,

[@John-et9yl]

Couldn't agree more 👍🏻

[@michelle2202]

Insanely great song on one of Bowie's best albums, six perfect songs out of six. You will both love the Station to Station album. I was super lucky to see David Bowie perform 'Stay' and so many other amazing songs on his Serious Moonlight tour in 1983.

[@cobbycaputo3332]

That was my first Bowie show as well. Just an incredible event.

[@TheoZoffrok]

This was his best rhythm section - and he's had some brilliant people over the years. Dennis Davis on drums, George Murray on bass, and Carlos Alomar on rhythm guitar. The closing section is absolute *filth* and I love it!

[@larbeem201]

Awesome reaction guys, I enjoyed it... Liked and Subb. Thank you! I'm hoping that you notice my suggestion, please react to 4th Impact a Filipina Girl Group on X Factor UK that the Judges amazed them singing "BANG BANG" on their 1st Audition garnering 191 Million Views.

[@larbeem201]

"BANG BANG" by 4th Power (Now 4th Impact) Link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmi8g4WXhMyji80

[@lindaulloa4786]

David Bowie was ahead of his time. The only artist who can re-invent himself over and over so successfully! Saw him @ Madison Square Gardens for The Diamond Dogs tour and at The Spectrum in Philadelphia for the Young Americans tour. Such an amazing artist. Too many great songs to list, but I do like his ballad Wild Is The Wind. He doesn't usually do ballads.

[@bobcorbin3294]

There is a killer live version of this on KZbin featuring Adrian Belew on Guitar.It's from 1978

[@cobbycaputo3332]

The Musikladen show. Great version of Heroes in that set as well.

[@wpollock1]

Yes and another from the Beeb.

[@maryelizabethreynoldsprice2135]

Bowie! The greatest of all time.!

[@John-et9yl]

Saw Bowie Earls Court, London 1978 and this was the track that got everybody dancing in the aisles.

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

This came right after Young Americans (1975) which was heavily into R&B, so the move to a funkier sound wasn't such a big stretch. Young Americans was actually more of a shock coming after the heavier rock of Diamond Dogs. But i think it's a much better album than Y.A. The title track, TVC15, and his crooning on Wild Is The Wind: perfection.

[@thomasluttkus9956]

1976's "Station to Station" (which "Stay" is on) was a transitional album for Bowie. It's 1/2 rooted in his previous R&B "plastic soul" period, and the second 1/2 in his upcoming "Berlin Trilogy" period where he adopts German Kraut Rock. Bowie had different guitarists for each of his *phases*. Here is Earl Slick.

[@niged]

Brilliant track. Earl Slick on lead guitar is awesome

[@scottbaker5998]

Earl and Carlos Alomar each had solos, trading back and forth. They both had ideas on how they should play the lead and Bowie suggested they "battle it out" during the track, fueling their creativity all the more!

[@steve-tf7ve]

I think you listened to this in a marathon about 3 months ago but you can never get too much Bowie. You could listen to this album 3 times over and would never get tired of it. Great rreaction. You were rocking out. Good to see Lex power through.

[@NicknLex]

Wow that's actually correct! I literally had to look it up. I am happy Alexia heard it too now. I didn't remember the song at all. I am listening to too much music everyday so its hard to remember everything I guess.

[@williammckay9229]

This song was played on the radio back when it came out.

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

David Bowie could play guitar, saxaphibe, and piano He had a range of vocal range. There were several musicians who played with him, over years. This album “station to station” is one of Bowie’s greatest. Yet, he admitted that Cocaine was his drug then, and he didn’t later recall much of this in 1976. Then, he escaped to West Berlin, Germany to escape and detox, and he created even more incredible music.

[@wpollock1]

I caught this show in Detroit in 1976 - that band is so good. Earl Slick on guitar and the drummer and bass? Fantastic! There is no "filler" track on Station to Station.

[@godbluffvdgg]

I didn't appreciate how great Bowie was in the 70's...I'm kind of glad I put him on the back burner though...I've been discovering his GENIUS over the last couple decades... So many masterpieces...

[@Joshualuv13]

Every Bowie song is good .

[@DWHarper62]

The whole record "Station to Station" is his best, most underrated album... Check the title track...

[@clubmogambo3214]

As a huge Bowie fan, I've often said that it's near impossible to pick a single favorite Bowie song because he had so damn many. But I've come to the conclusion that 'Stay' is Bowie's coolest song. I mean just downright friggin cool.

[@AntonyFleck]

Same here Definitely, possibly, probably my favourite?!!...

[@user-tu5ej5lg2c]

'Win' is pretty cool also.

[@cosmocassidy420]

There is a David Bowie tribute artist named David Brighton and his band is called space oddity. His band is fantastic as well as David this song they use at the end of his first set. When hes doing a costume change he usually comes out as within white Duke and then at the end of this song he will leave during the instrumental part and turn into Ziggy Stardust for the next set. I've seen David many many many times and he always puts on a phenomenal show. He will make a believer out of you by the end of the concert, if you ever have an opportunity to see him, I would definitely take it. He's the closest thing that will ever see to David Bowie now. Oh yeah, and he was also a water bottle commercial with all the other Bowies. I think he was the clown.

[@claudedeschamps5196]

If you love this, go back in time and surf from his first album to black star. I was 15 in 73 when I encountered Bowie and drove back to first album and followed him till is death. The let’s dance album even if it was very popular was the pitt

[@chriszanotti9685]

This is the thin white duke Blessed to see this concert in 1976 public hall Cleveland Ohio Never ever seen a performance live like he did Earl Slick Carlos alomar

[@Zoolar]

Excellent record, top marks.

[@timothyharrington5128]

IMHO Station, low, heroes highlights of his music. So many elements

[@vegdagol2843]

Love stay

[@tobiasisback4605]

What a fucking genius he was

[@crescentsi]

The dirty, bluesy guitar, fantastic rhythmic alterations and Bowie's nonchalant and ethereal vocals create quality pop that, yet again, reveal Bowie as one of the top pop musicians/song writers of his time!

[@davidrold9770]

Love this song. Definitely a stand out on Station To Station. Earl Slick & Carlos Alomar on the fantastic guitar work. That's what makes the song for. But the whole album is great. TVC15 is really cool to

[@antarcticorb9197]

Live at the Nassau center in NY is hard funk with this song. Jesus it's killer!

[@Fibonacci64]

Now you are in for a REAL journey. Growing up with him in the seventies. The only Idol I ever had. That decade with him in music. Saw him doing this live in ´76 in Stockholm.

[@michaelsweenie-lane359]

My First Bowie Album and Concert 1976 - Never missed one of his concerts after that

[@kph1034]

This was David reinventing himself again as The Thin White Duke. Far more soulful/funky and not as immediate as previous stuff. But this album and Young Americans have really stood the test of time . Although in truth most of his stuff does. Anyway yet another brilliant track by a truly brilliant artist.

[@joancarlesclaros9217]

The album is the beginning of a new era.

[@chriszanotti9685]

Earl slick phenomenal

[@mana3735]

Listen to the title track from the same album...you'll LOVE it, I'm sure.

[@markh6014]

"Station to Station" would be a great choice. A sectional tune running about 10 minutes, Bowie introduces the Thin White Duke character and uses plenty of occult imagery due to his fascination with the writings of Aleister Crowley at the time. From an album Bowie admits he barely remembered writing or recording at the height of his cocaine addiction. "TVC 15" is another highlight from this record, a quirky tune about a man's girlfriend literally being devoured by a television set. Yep....enjoy!

[@bmac1205]

Almost 84k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@larrygranat4456]

Great song, great album! Thanks!

[@eaglesrule1415]

Great reaction to one of his more underated albums. Love this tune and album. Great job with this pick Ken. Love the reaction N&L.

[@250278]

1984 is also fire. it´s from the Diamond Dogs album.

[@bowiev2schneider58]

👍

[@saturninebear]

Love Bowie from his entire career, but my favourite album is S2S and this track is my favourite track.

[@onyx2626]

Stay is Bowie. His most coked out album was his best, go figure. But Low(profile) was his favorite.

[@rjnuzzi1648]

An overlooked gem, two or three of the best on that 1976 masterpiece... listen to his two octave vocals + harmony on chorus... the actual chord pattern Bowie lifted off of his own 'John aim Only Dancing Again', just a year before

[@Tedisntakidanymore]

Touring the US in the mid 70's, Bowie was exposed to a lot of funk and soul. Disco was a thing at the time. He liked it, so he hired American players like drummer Dennis Davis, guitarists Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick, George Murray on bass and pianist Roy Bittan. The result was this epic track. Its completely different from anything he'd recorded previously. Funk and rock. Bowie loved this band so much he kept the rhythm section together for the next 20 years.

[@fredwhitmanii2879]

"Blue-Eyed Soul" Bowie is the BEST Bowie !! Station to Station and Young Americans albums are 🔥🔥.. front to back!

[@chriszanotti9685]

Carlos alvarz earl slick denny hall The talent behind him is unbelievable

[@bluecalix]

You may not remember it, but Stay was in Kinder Vom Bahnhof Zoo. It only plays in the background in two scenes (I think) so it's easy to miss.

[@frank215n]

Bodies funk period of 73-76 is my favorite. One you guys might have a listen to is Fascination from Young Americans LP

[@spiderbass65]

There is a gret live version of this with Adrian Belew. Got to see him do this a couple times live. His bands are always top shelf! As others have said, check out the title track "Station to Station", He opened the set with that, and it gives you chills. Love your reactions!

[@AntonyFleck]

If your loving this you must check out Bowie and this bands performance on the Dinah Shore show 76?!....

[@tonybaker55]

David was always reinventing himself and that is the beauty of his music, making it so varied.

[@williamr3840]

Wild is The Wind :0)

[@patrickdoake6022]

Wild is the wind great cover, his vocals sound great, also live version of stay on cd even better than the studio one 🇬🇧☮️

[@parissimons6385]

Great reaction from both of you. This is David Bowie during his Thin White Duke persona time, part of what he later called part of his lost year. And Station to Station is a brilliant album. The song, "Stay", came back into his setlists over the years. I saw and heard Bowie twice in 1983 (August and September; he shot the Serious Moonlight video concert over 2 September nights in Vancouver), and again in January 2004. "Stay" was not part of that 2004 setlist, but it is part of his "Live at the BBC, 2000" concert. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoOxgJ5_qJWqptk

[@TZ61]

Such a great song from such a great album. You got it right when you said that you couldn't pin David Bowie down to any one style of music. I would also suggest the opening title track which really sets the mood for the album. Great upload and suggestion.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

Check out the live version on the bbc London in 2000.. The incomparable Earl Slick on guitar. Earl Slick breaks the rules, he knows all of the dirty rules of guitar. The entire band is dangerous.

[@longago-igo]

For you, I’d like to suggest trying the Diamond Dogs album. The song Diamond Dogs is the second track, but you need to hear the one minute spoken intro to it, as well, which is called Future Legend.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

You need to listen to 70's Bowie. His strongest decade to me. One great album after another.

[@lewismaddox4132]

You have never heard Bowie between Young Americans and Station to Station. He was absolutely destroying himself on cocaine and yet he produced the best music of his career. I'm gonna start lavishing membership on you guys cause I love you and really feel like you need to SEE Bowie. Maybe my suggestions will hit the mark. I hope so because no artist ever reproduced intent into their music like David. You need to see his later live work. HE GOT BETTER.

[@scottanderson8420]

Amazing first selection Ken. Great to hear and see this request. Love the guitar on this cut. Nicknlex are great in every genre and era. 👍👍

[@ScottHindle-qv6mq]

Station to station Madison Square garden 1978 live Bowie.wow.

[@kateml2387]

You must listen to the title track, Station To Station!

[@bmac1205]

Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are graced with the presence of the Lovely Alexia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woot woot woot! 👍 Just an FYI....Robert Fripp of King Crimson and Rick Wakeman of pre-Yes play on some of the earlier 70's David Bowie tracks.

[@TheoZoffrok]

Wakeman yes (he's all over the Hunky Dory album), but not sure about Fripp - pretty sure the first Bowie album he played on was "Heroes", two albums after Station To Station.

[@michaelmalone3089]

Very good song choice ken!great interaction between the two happy souls !! We love you so much dear Nick and Lex ❤

[@thomcadeau1384]

Give a listen to his Outside or his Black Tie/White Noise albums if you want a Bowie to be reckoned with!

[@markndogs]

New found respect for you, Nick, for your appreciation of all that Bowie embodied. And it’s so deep and so wide, and pretty much indefinable. One of my dogs is named Whitewater’s We Could Be Heroes (Bowie) in his honor. “Stay” is well within my top five Bowie songs. Enjoyed this!

[@Galahad-hk4bb]

Bowie was absolutely a genius and truly the ‘King of the Chameleons’. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ericaward702]

It’s Carlos Allomar who played with the main ingredient

[@terrypmusic]

Nice one, keep it up!

[@bradhill1099]

Monster track and Monster album.

[@yes_head]

Such a great song (and all hail George Murray on dat funky bass.) There's a great video on YT of Bowie and his band performing this on the Dinah Shore show in 1976. Talk about two entertainers with zero in common. She couldn't even pronounce his name right (she kept saying "Boo-eee" 😄).

[@scottmacdonald1826]

This such a great album!!! I'd become familiar with Bowies work before hearing this, but this was the first time I'd heard a brand new release from him. It blew us all away. I won't say it's my favourite Bowie album, because whatever Bowie album I listen to, at that moment in time, is my favourite Bowie album.

[@glenndespres5317]

Because this is one of my favorite Bowie songs it made me so happy to see the smiles it put on both your faces. Especially yours Lex. I know you still are dealing with back issues and I can relate to that for sure. But deal you do, and I am so happy whenever you feel up to doing a reaction. Nick, your reaction was so satisfying as well. For all the same reasons I love it, you do too and that’s why I love you guys! Happy Thanksgiving to you both!

[@JKonstage]

Haven’t heard this in ages! Thank you, Ken!

[@mattleppard1964]

Utterly fantastic ❤

[@aramakukutai7750]

Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick provide the deadly riffs on this master track from my favorite Bowie album Station to Station. Thin White Duke holds court. Play it all kids.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

His time with funk was very short after he decided to put Ziggy asleep but he could do it ,he didn't mess around with it but then he went more into the strange esoteric stuff even harder . Have you reacted to Watch That Man ?

[@albrook1018]

most of the people don't share my point of view. I, for one, think the best album of DB is 'Scary monsters' Ther was a time I used to listen 'Teenage wild life' song over n over again. Today I'd say - it's sound is mostly a merit of Robert Fripp...

[@ScottHindle-qv6mq]

Try the look back in anger video, Bowie. It's brilliant. Scott, England.

[@Dave-hb7lx]

Sad to say I don't think I ever heard this. Thanks Ken. Great reaction and comments Nick and Lex.

[@mana3735]

Dennis Davis on the drums, everybody.....

[@michelemichele3375]

Great job, Ken. Wonderful track. And loved your reaction, NnL. And I’ll say it again: I LOVE PERCUSSION! Gratitude on this Thanksgiving 🤗

[@NicknLex]

Was JUST thinking about you!! Grateful for you today (and always!) 🧡 Be blessed and… ¡¡¡viva la percusión!!! ✨

[@sionadamson1842]

wonderful weird track by Bowie the lyrics, i believe, are about having a one-night stand, & realising that you REALLY like this person... & this person goes to leave in the morning, & you want to ask them to STAY....but you don't know how to say it, cos you don't know if they feel the same way....& you're frightened to ask just magical, & strange...& heartbreaking

[@flyingardilla143]

Dang I completely forgot this song existed.

[@99Doogs]

Please do station to station the song, its so so good

[@brucedillinger9448]

Bowie you say? Immediately clicked!

[@robertjewell9727]

Great choice, Ken.

[@cabassutchristian7965]

❤❤❤❤ stay...

[@GP-mw8ce]

Hard to say which was the best Bowie period really it’s mostly all great.The album after Ziggy Alladin Sane is worth an explore Mike Gaston’s keyboards on the title track is off the chart

[@BRIANZ969]

Bowie has allot of Bowie albums-Please check-Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars -Thank You-there are many phases of Bowie -You two are so positive-I love it. Brian Birch

[@jaquettajones]

Station to Station is his Funk Album. I always suggest the Live performance of STAY on the Dinah Shore Show to see Bowie BUST the Funky moves so HERE he is in all His Funky Glory - A MUST WATCH! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6qykqOugLufgdk

[@mackymintle7806]

Sounds like Adrian Belew produced this. ❤😊

[@jlb6]

Bowie later dismissed Station to Station because drugs are bad. But I think every track is great. Earl Slick replaced the great Mick Ronson on guitar. Wild is the Wind (Nina Simone cover) and World on a Wing are ballads that showcase vocals. The title track and Stay are really heavy guitar sounds. Working with Igbo Pop and Tin Machine also shows Bowie’s fascination with heavy distorted guitar sounds.

[@briangray00]

Decent. It might be my favourite/probably is on this LP. Who am I kidding? It's all very fine. I believe this is the peak of the cocaine years, but tbf it didn't halt the genius. I really like the title track, Golden Years is immaculate and Wild Is The Wind could make a glass eye cry. This may be controversial but TVC15 didn't float my boat; I got that it was new, arty and spikey (aka disposable) and I might do new arty spikey dances/ Word On A Wing ain't great - feel free to let me know how mistaken I am. If your mate (the Bowie fan) hasn't heard this one before would you like a new mate?

[@tbay]

The tour for this album, Station to Station was incredible, 1976. Not Earl Slick.

[@smffeb58]

This entire album was recorded in a cocaine induced frenzy. Saw it live at the Boston Garden when it toured, it was called the Isolar tour, or the Thin White Duke tour, as that was his new persona. Opening was an avant- garde movie projection onto a giant screen, if I remember correctly it was filmed by either Picasso, or Dali. Very strange, but as the movie ended the opening wails of Carlos Alomars guitar on Station to Station set of an incredible concert. There is not a bad song on this album. TVC15 is literally about a cocaine induced hallucination of a TV coming to life. Play the whole album !!! 😉

[@almondroca]

the opening film was Buñuel & Dalí's 'Un Chien Andalou'

[@smffeb58]

@@almondroca that’s it !!! Thank you. It was a very eclectic opening act for a concert. At the time the industrial strength, low quality smokable herb was being overtaken with a finer, much higher quality type, sourced much further south than Mexico 😉 if you catch my drift 😂 All I remember from the film was near the end where a man sliced an eyeball with a straight razor. That visual coupled with the herb influence, the slow rhythm at the start of Station to Station, and everyone in the first balcony tapping their feet in time, creating a definite bouncing of the balcony, was to say the least, intense. (me first row, direct line stage left) I do remember it also being the night of St Patrick’s day. So there was also other types of imbibing from the daytime that helped the intensify the experience. 😎

[@murraymejka]

Its supposed to sound like a phone ringing.
