I remember the SERIOUS Moonlight tour. ❤❤

[@Mary-xo7ue]

I have a tour book, thick one, with a lot of photos from this tour. Good interviews. He mention Stevie Ray briefly. That was always a sore spot for Bowie.

Lets Dance album is brilliant. With Steve Ray Vaughn on guitar

With SRV on LEAD, and Nile Rogers on the RHYTHM guitar and in the verses

[@myrhino70]

was it also Clarence Clemons on the sax?

[@grelch]

My favorite bit of SRV trivia is his connection to Bowie.

I firmly stand by that the original film score version of "Cat People" is leagues ahead of the Let's Dance version.

BOWIE became a God again.

Cat People is the most versatile 45 RPM record ever. It sounds great played at 33, 45, and 78. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, ask your parents. 😅

Bowie thought "let me try doing a pop record this time" and so he makes one of the best of all time.

[@xiamengbaby]

@@xiamengbaby No true. It was the two subpar albums that followed Let's Dance.

[@Jude_196]

Didn't EVEN ask anyone to HOLD HIS BEER!!!

[@loosilu]

​yeah, felt so bad that he IPOed himself

[@xiamengbaby]

@mangasky7 "Bowie first started to distance himself from the record in 1987 when he claimed Let's Dance was more Rodgers' vision than his, which the producer has since refuted. A full decade later, Bowie revealed the album's accompanying tour confirmed one of his biggest fears: "I was something I never wanted to be. I was a well-accepted artist. I had started appealing to people who bought Phil Collins albums." Even more worryingly, Bowie acknowledged he'd stopped caring about his audience - which perhaps explains the existence of 1984 follow-up Tonight, a surprisingly throwaway record which he'd eventually concede was the nadir of his career. "I really shouldn't have even bothered going into the studio to record it," he told Interview in 1995, also adding that he'd pandered to the success of Let's Dance and subsequently "put a box around" himself. Reeves Gabrels, guitarist in the Tin Machine group Bowie put together to help restore his creative integrity, could vouch for such despondency, telling Uncut, "[David Bowie] felt he had lost his way after Let's Dance. He didn't like where he was going and wanted to change it, so Tin Machine fell on that grenade." " From article "Let's Dance' At 40: How David Bowie's Biggest Album Became His Most Conflicted" by Jon O'brien.

Not enough to pay him though! LOL

Bowie used to only pay a scale rate to many of his touring musicians. It was Jagger and Richards who urged SRV to go solo (among others).

Stevie Ray Vaughan met David Bowie at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. After SRV's performance, Bowie was so impressed that he later said, “[He] completely floored me.

Your appreciation of Bowie makes me emotional. He was such a huge part of my youth and left his mark on this world like few others. A true genius.

[@gary6956]

Stevie was all over the "Let's Dance" album. He was supposed to tour with Bowie on his "Serious Moonlight" tour to support the album but his own 1st album came out and he left Bowie to support it. There is bootleg audio of SRV rehearsing with Bowie and band, getting ready for the tour, with Stevie playing on a bunch of classic Bowie songs. It's definitely worth checking out.

[@troilusand]

Thanks for the tip about the bootleg rehearsals. When I looked for it I found a short interview with SRV giving a different reason for why he didn't tour with Bowie.

[@jlsage4059]

Yep. There was a “different” reason.

[@gary6956]

@@troilusand Look up "David Bowie 1983 Dallas rehearsals" on KZbin. There were disagreements between management for Bowie & SRV on how to proceed, but the end result was Stevie went on to tour in support of his own debut album rather than Bowie's album. Guitar World did did a good piece on it all: "SRV was slated to hit the road with Bowie to promote Let’s Dance in May 1983 - but Texas Flood was about to come out. The Bowie tour would keep him on the road for a year, keeping him from promoting his own album. Bowie’s management decided to let Vaughan open select dates on the tour. That sounded fine to SRV. But shortly before the tour began, Bowie’s management reneged. Not only would they not allow Double Trouble to open for Bowie, but Vaughan couldn’t give interviews about his album while on tour for Bowie. SRV never got to decide whether or not to stay with Bowie. Chesley Millikin, his manager, did it for him. Moments before Vaughan boarded Bowie’s bus, the tour manager pulled his gear and bags off the vehicle. The bus took off without him, leaving SRV on the sidewalk with no idea what to do next.''

[@scottingram7634]

Wasn't it something about Bowie wanting Stevie to tour with him but David didn't want to bring along Double Trouble so Stevie wouldn't do it?

[@jongoucher9873]

Also heard that SRV was pissed that Bowie “air-guitared” the solo in the video, as if it was him playing it.

[@marcbenjamin9436]

This wasn’t the LP version. It’s the long-dance version. Still a great song. The album version is what most of us grew up on.

[@jennyjenny4501]

Bowie also does an amazing cover of Iggy Pop’s “China Girl” on the same album.

[@sallyphillips9175]

TIL China Girl was a cover.

[@conrad4667]

China Girl was written by the two of them.

[@garymaidman625]

Neither were covers per se. They both co-wrote the song and recorded their own version. In the same way as What A Fool Believes was co-written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins and then recorded by both the Doobie Brothers and Kenny Loggins. Neither are cover versions, they are just both different versions by the co-writers of the song.

[@mikeoliver159]

While it is a cover, Bowie co-wrote and produced Iggy's original. So it is Bowie's song as much as Iggy's.

[@andreaaase1065]

One thing that I don’t think gets talked about enough with Bowie is that he was almost 100% one take, FIRST take, start to finish vocal performance. He hated doing too many takes of a song because he wanted to capture the excitement of creating a song. His attitude was that by the 4th take, the band is covering the song and it gets stale. Amazing talent.

[@alphaomega2117]

Bowie lived in Sydney for around 10 years from 82 to 92 and it's the era where his music is arguably the happiest - he tended to write reflecting his mood and he was a lot more relaxed and happy in that era than he had been earlier. It's also when he kind of stopped worrying about being a character and started being him.

@drossword I thought it was his 80s era. Considering that Ziggy Stardust put out Space Oddity, Fame, and I think Life on Mars. This line of reasoning is compounded by the fact that in the early/mid 80s he was rocking those boxy suit coats and baggy trousers on his slender frame.

[@scottboswell6406]

@@badkitty4922 It's easy to be confused, but it isn't 'Thin White Duke' time. That was more stylized and when he got on Soul Train ("Fame"). THIS is when he had his top button undone and tie untied, being fun and relaxed, like you see in the Modern Love video. Also, the boxy suits and baggy trousers were the style, like David Byrne and many others.

[@badkitty4922]

@scottboswell6406 ok, yes! I remember VAGUELY (because of my age) Bowie on Soul Train, and I have much clearer memories of his loosened tie, top button undone relaxed fun of Modern Love. Fame is actually a favorite of mine and I had the 45 when I was little. I am kind of flashing on a photo of Bowie in a slender, well tailored dark striped suit, and he's looking his androgynous self.

[@timbomilko5367]

I went to see Bowie's Serious Moonlight tour venue (launching this song in his new album) at Longchamps Race Course in Paris in 1982. As it was standing rather than seats, it was possible to move to the stage to praise the legend. He also did his earlier stuff ... The whole trip, including the bus from London, one night in an Airport Hotel, entrance and a free t-shirt came to around $90 ... Got back exhausted but with a glow of contentment. His stage presence was extraordinary!

[@TheAsiavol]

The brilliant unknown Stevie Ray Vaughn as the session guitarist on this album. Stevie Ray Vaughan's lead guitar work on David Bowie's Let's Dance served as his introduction to the world, particularly his outro solo on the title track. But the late guitarist wasn't too pleased when the song's video came out and Bowie was spotted playing along to it. In a new excerpt from Alan Paul and Andy Aledort’s upcoming biography Texas Flood: The Inside Story of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rolling Stone present a look at the guitar player's brief period with Bowie. As Double Trouble drummer Chris "Whipper" Layton recalled, "Stevie was about to become world famous as the guy who played that solo, but the video really bothered him. Bowie’s wearing white linen gloves, and Stevie said, 'That motherfucker shouldn’t be pretending to be playing shit he wasn’t playing!' He couldn’t understand why Bowie would do that."

[@brianegendorf2023]

My favorite thing in the song is the bass line. Its like set where it repeats several times, and then every so many bars, it just walks down several notes. And where it happens varies throughout the song, so you can't even predict it. So every time it hits, it hits hard..

[@robertreichle1]

I don't know how you can make a better 80's song. Maybe you can tie it, but I don't think you can beat it. This is one of those songs that, on first listen, you recognize it as being iconic in greatness. One hearing, and you won't forget the song for life. That's beyond S tier.

“under the moonlight, the serious moonlight” Can you imagine seeing him on The Serious Moonlight tour…

This song absolutely blew my mind when I first heard it around 13 or 14 years of age, I'd never heard a song with that sort of rhythm before. A or A+, it would be the best song by far of most artist's careers but he has at least 10 songs I'd put ahead

Bowie was an incredible musical talent. Love his work. I don't think I'll ever get that guitar lick from rebel rebel out of my head.

[@craiger991gm]

Wow, right back to Senior Prom 1983. Great memories, thanks Guys! Another great track from the same part of his career would be "Chin Girl" I don't remember you doing that one but I am nearly 60 and smoka a lot of 🍃🍃

[@badkitty4922]

I love China Girl. Because of how Bowie pronounced one line in the song, I always sang "Oh baby, just you shut your mouse." 😂 I know the actual lyric, and it's done with love, but I'm never gonna stop. 😉👍💖

Bowie's lyrics are overlooked (or not understood) by so many people, I appreciate you guys recognizing that part of his talent. A quick personal story...I loved his "Cat People" for years before ever seeing the movie he wrote it for. Never quite got the meaning of the lyrics. Then I saw the film. OMG! The film is all from the view of the girl/cat. What did Bowie do in his lyrics? He writes from the point of view of her brother/cat who wants them to avoid killing by having an incestuous relationship. The film (& audience) sees him as the villain, yet Bowie saw him as a tragic figure in his lyrics. For those who have seen the film...listen to the song from that "angle".

I always remember from around the time ot Low in the seventies. One of the ads for the album and I quote "There's old wave, There's new wave and there's David Bowie". I think that says everything.

RIP David & SRV

[@HeatherErin]

This is Bowie saying okay let's try making something mainstream for the new Mtv rock and roll tv and then knocking it out of the park and making the mainstream come to him. HIs new wave esthetic on this album is next level too. Check out the video. Fire! Also, that's Nile Rodgers on rhythm guitar 🔥🔥🔥

[@Reclining_Spuds]

One of my favorite concert memories? Rock Day at the US Festival 1983. Bowie headlined and performed this song in front of 300,000 people bopping along. Simply fantastic!!!

This video tears you up, indigenous kids….

[@PistonBroke0001]

Great song , Bowie was always one of my favourites. Great at everything he did

[@Mary-xo7ue]

Stevie Ray Vaughan on those killer guitar solos 😂😂❤❤❤

[@xanajak]

As with many Bowie videos, this one too was the essence of early MTV.

[@bluetopguitar1104]

A genius album, first time hearing SRV. What a huge talent Bowie was in every style.

[@perchancetodream1]

90s and 2000s and 10s Bowie are worth exploring also.

[@thejoyofthemusicinmylife7897]

David Bowie once joked that this was his Phil Collins MTV period.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Nile Rodgers: "Am I playing the rhythm too funky, David?" Bowie: "I don't know if there's such a thing as 'too funky', Nile ..."

[@johnnyd5285]

Every song Bowie did was different. I didn’t know all these songs were his. I didn’t like Bowie when I was young, didn’t pay attention. But as I got older, I realized he was truly original.
