David Bowie - Let's Dance, Demo (Radio Edit) [Official Audio]

[@keiththecarpenter5639]

I think that this is officially my favorite version of this song.😊

[@seanx666]

Funky like a Chic song! Love it! Nile is a national treasure

[@anthropological]

The guitar work screams Chic (read: Nile Rodgers)!!!

[@lukasduno9125]

Nike is stratospheric

[@fiaschampion3379]

I was never a fan of 80's pop Bowie and I always thought that Let's Dance should sound more like this holy shit David actually did it.

[@shumbachidawo2176]

Demo is funkier than version on the album.

[@jan-keesverschuure2436]

It's got a live band feel.

[@terrychilders]

@@jan-keesverschuure2436 ..and they're fucking hotttt

[@kimakotrotman6860]

You can hear Nile Rodgers' indluence in it.

[@johnhamilton6947]

Great version of this song.❤

[@margheritaramella5813]

I love his voice

[@thelionheart7178]

DAVID BOWIE FOREVER !

[@JohnMarshall-NI]

This 'demo' is TIGHT. Think I might prefer it over the released version. It has a raw quality to it!

[@JANECHROMATICA]

so wish this version had been a bonus track on the album its so good

[@adanraymond2100]

Honestly...I don't think I ever believed it until this moment...but David Bowie is a genius

[@elodiamontero1177]

Gracias

[@mattcandelario7156]

You can really tell how the bass line on the record version helps bring it to life.

[@so_fly2001]

This is honestly amazing

[@lukech0239]

I miss him

[@robertdeTriquet]

me too.

[@carlitoscomics]

Me too!

[@averagemale777]

Me too

[@doppelherz-5202]

Why am I even crying oh my god I miss him so much...

[@MC-bd5ub]

This is by far the superior cut.

[@humansnotai4912]

David Bowie was the greatest. I cry when I listen to The Rise and Fall of ZIggy Stardust. This track just makes me think of being 8 years old again, love this version, Nile Rodgers and SRV...just other world. Love you man xxx

[@kermitgrover]

That slap bass fill at 3:26

[@robertdeTriquet]

good ear!

[@coffeemakerbottomcracked]

Better than modern music which doesn't have details like this

[@melanylopez1805]

God, I love it. I miss him soooo much and this give me a bittersweet feeling but I really enjoy it. His voice makes me smile every time and it doesn't matter the rhythm, I always want to dance when I listen to him. Just perfect. ♡

[@stevencarter4168]

Music will never be the same without David putting out such classics as this

[@tootsiebellevue1298]

So in love with this, after hearing Let's Dance too many times since our gorgeous man died, cause it seems to be the only song most people know of Bowie's, this is so fabulous and fresh. Thank you so much for sharing this with us x

[@gd7561]

This is so good, I just heard this today on the radio!!! In many ways, it's better than the final version!!!!

[@ashleyadkins1101]

Amazing to hear art being created!! Love Bowie!

[@valaamis]

oh my goood this version is amazing❤️

[@Klui_]

Even as a demo this song was alredy amazing. While it was the beginning of what many consider his worst era, Let's Dance was a good record and had some great work on it.

[@daninusa5297]

No one says that. Only pretentious band wagonners.

[@Klui_]

@@daninusa5297 I mean, most oh his fans agree, and even Bowie himself called Tonight and NLMD his worst work. Personally I like it, sure, it isn't on par with his 70s, 90s and 00s input, but it's still great work.

[@coffeemakerbottomcracked]

@@daninusa5297 Why the hell you are using company YT channel? lmao. Imagine spa commenting this random stuff.

[@garrold7123]

@@Klui_ What?? Who the fuck said tonight was one of his worst albums? It's as good as let's dance! This is the first time I've heard this. I get the NLMD hate however

[@Klui_]

@@garrold7123 Honestly I'm really shocked to hear that, Tonight hate was something I saw since I started getting into Bowie years ago, and it's still a sentiment I hear to this day. Personally, again, I think it's a fine album, but I wouldn't put it on the same level as most of his work, including Let's Dance (this is my opinion).

[@mooky9669]

Love this version. It's really funky!

[@michaelshade3028]

Sometimes, I think Bowie didn't realize just how amazing he really was...

[@kevcatnip7589]

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

i love *Everything* abt David's laugh! 😌 Even the way he says the WORD: "loff", lol. Ah, my Prince.. Speaking of, 😉, (the man who was played on MTV bc Bowie GRILLED them about it) This demo is funky! i love it!!! 😘💞

[@jessewarren7404]

Great voice, this proves it.

[@torgeirtunold-hanssen2521]

Males me understand "why" i - more than usually - became so very sad, sad....sad when i heard Mr.D. Bowie had cancer, and the cancer tok life. And, his last lp is great, one of his best! And, heavy lyrics, good songs! Very good singing! As it always is/was with David Bowie.

[@JM-io6966bili]

Funky little groovy tune. Primitive rough , I like it.

[@fabfab2289]

[@rillloudmother]

Nice to hear that even bowie's demos sound like demos.

[@user-li3fr8jl3b]

Weird that.. 😂😂

[@realnature-sound-videos2948]

Oh my... love it

[@thejellokats8338]

I'm guessing that Nile is guitaring on this demo. It is very much him, but actually the groove is really different (much busier) than on the final release. i would really like to the process between this demo and the final recording

[@sabrinalacirignola2188]

❤

[@andywatson7163]

Cosimo Lampis (drums) - Andy "Tésaury" Watson (guitar & keyboards) Erdal Kyzylçay (bass) Nile Rodgers (guitar &producer) Dave Richards (sound engineer) - recorded in Mountain Studios Montreux

[@mlteenie]

Bowie was so eager to lay down the track that a makeshift band made up of local musicians was formed specifically for this recording of "Let's Dance"; the identities of the drummer and second guitarist on the recording are still unknown. ("If you played 2nd guitar or drums let us know who you are," Rodgers added.)

[@u2freak1974]

He eludes to the demos in many interviews .... there should be an official release of all of them...? I would particularly like to hear the ‘never let me down’ album stripped back, I bet that’s even better...?? Bowie experts please weigh in ...

[@yindyamarra]

[@jennief2108]

Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio Let's sway while colour lights up your face Let's sway sway through the crowd to an empty space If you say run, I'll run with you If you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall Into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance for fear your grace should fall Let's dance for fear tonight is all Let's sway you could look into my eyes Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight If you say run, I'll run with you If you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall Into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio Let's sway you could look into my eyes Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight Songwriters: David Bowie © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.

LOVE IT

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Ooh, I love discovering audio treasure. I remember when this song came out, I thought it was kind of super.

[@RenePeraza]

Glad he dropped the nasally cockney for the cool baritone on the seminal recording. One of my favorite all-time recordings of his.

[@rossmatheson4303]

I think knowing the official release so well, it's hard to judge anything sounding different at this stage as better it worse. It does sound at times though like he's doing the impression people do of him

[@KlausBahnhof]

Agreed. The cool baritone is way cooler.

[@ArlonceoAlice]

it is so interesting demo

A super demo version, now it should be on the radio all over the world if it was supposed to be a radio edit. 😊 🌞 🌟 🍀 What a coincidence, just unboxed Bowie's Loving the Alien boxset including Let's Dance on the album and a single version, and also a live duet with Tina Turner, but not that demo...
