The entire Station to Station album is fire! The title track is ridiculous

I was with my friend when he passed after a long battle with bone cancer. I was sitting with him for hours while he slipped away, listening to his favorite albums on a bose portable stereo in the hospice. Station to Station was the second to last album I put on before he went as he was the one who introduced me to it and I knew he loved it. I listened to "stay" on repeat for a week after. I'm so glad you both had a chance to experience this and had about the same reaction I did listening to it in his garage years ago. Thanks for jogging my memory ❤

He’s a genius. Please listen to interviews with him. He was so ahead of his time with everything. He’s hilariously funny too. A truly creative person in every sense.

This man has so many hidden gems. The stuff played on the radio pales in comparison. They just never knew what to do with him❤

When Bowie gets in that groove, he wears it out. Thanks, guys.

You guys interacting is just a joy. I had a massive smile on my face from the start to the end of your video. David Bowie has been copied and inspired so many artists it is insane. And almost every album he released was markedly different from the previous one. The guy was incredibly inventive and creative musically and visually. A phenomenon! 😎

That was Earl Slick tormenting and then melting his guitar. Bowie never has a band that isn't a group of virtuosos. Now you're getting into the stuff that is more obscure but is precisely why Bowie was so influential. Musicians heard this shit. They know that he was indeed an alien trying to help us out in the only way we'd listen. My favorite albums are Hunky Dory, Young Americans and Station to Station. Taking away nothing from his other work. Ziggy and the Berlin stuff were amazing. You're starting to realize that the popular music wasn't all that defined Bowie. His production was prodigious and until you light into it you will not be in the proper state of awe.

Bowie made this album (“Station to Station”) during a period of heavy drug use (including a lot of cocaine) and was quoted as saying later that he barely had any recollection of the recording sessions. Still a great album, a total of six tracks and only one of them is under five minutes long. The whole record is definitely worth a listen.

My favorite Bowie song and he has many great ones. Live at Nassau Coliseum in 1976 version of “Stay” is monstrous.

David Bowie was an incredible singer, songwriter, actor, artist. And NICE!!

There's a great great live version of this on German TV in 1978, with Adrian Belew on guitar. Earl Slick is playing here.

Have not heard this in decades. Had completely forgot about it. Excellent reaction fellas. Much appreciated 🙏 ❤

Station to Station is such a great album.

After getting hooked on sounds of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, and a select few others, I found that David Bowie was in a realm entirely of his own. It's a challenge to articulate the impact David's music had on me, but I once read that Bowie had a unique ability to make even the recitation of people’s names in a phone book sound great, and I think I agree. Frequently, his songs were not only performed but also composed by him. He would play all the instruments,(not well but good enough) record the music, and then give it to his band members and say, "Play it like this, only better." At the age of 16, I started buying his albums, I played them so much even my mother started to like him. In later years, when we had a son, I found that playing Bowie's "Young Americans" cassette was the only reliable way to lull my son to sleep during car rides, starting when he was just six months old. If I dared to switch it off, he'd start to cry, but as soon as the music resumed, he'd contentedly drift off into sleep. Over the years, I've heard artists who bear a striking resemblance to David Bowie in their musical style and presentation. It's often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I must say, it's good to see the influence he continues to wield in the world of music. I always highly enjoy the opportunity to hear your insights on music, and I'm grateful for your honest reactions. Please, keep the musical conversations flowing and never lose the joy in doing so.

This was when Bowie slipped out of his Ziggy / Aladin Sane persona and into being " The Thin White Duke ", livin on a diet of cocaine and quarts of milk. He's singing both parts but an octave apart. He worked his vibrato in an unusual above to below note manner, really hard to imitate. The incredible rhythm section is Dennis Davis, drums, George Murray bass, Earl Slick and Carlos Alomar dueling their guitars in both the rhythm and solos. An engineer described Murray's bassline as "solid enough to support a Buick" !

You want to hear great Bowie vocals, listen to Wild Is the Wind from this same album. To me Station To Station is one of the very few PERFECT albums recorded over the decades.

That song is Bowie's ultimate combination of rock & funk. Earl Slick on lead & Carlos Alomar on rhythm guitar.

Bowie is just so timeless. Saw or heard this live in 78 during the station to station tour. I was 16 then, and it was love at first site.Been a fanatic fan since.

Great reaction guys! Comparing Bowie to others in 1976 as Flintstones vs Jetsons, that's priceless!

The guys tearing the guitars on this track are Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick. Straight up monsters.

YES!! This is a great song! Bowie's voice does the same thing to me as David Gilmour's guitar does. 🤘🏽💜

Dennis Davis, Carlos Alomar and George Murray - Bowie's all-time greatest rhythm section. The run of records they powered from 1975 to 1980 is just astounding.

There is a version a video made in 2000 that kills it! Slicks guitar is mind melting! And of course Bowies vocals and how they are an instrument themselves!❤

Bowie was a trendsetter for over 5 decades. Not many people show love to his last album, but the title track Black Star is a wild journey. Worth a listen.

Bowie, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, The Dan, Zep .. Top-tier shit and that's it.

I miss him and Prince so much

Shoutout acknowledged and returned! That is still, after all these years, one of the baddest jams I’ve ever heard! There are at least two great live versions of this, but I wanted you guys to hear the original. And there are some other Bowie bangers you gotta hear. This is one of my favorite reactions from you guys, ever. Rock on!

You guys would like "ashes to ashes". David has a deep catalogue for sure.

One of the greatest blends of disco funk & rock ever put to vinyl... the original chord pattern was used in a completely different track a year earlier, John I'm Only Dancing Again (w/Luther Vandross) from the Young Americans' sessions

You guys should watch the David Bowie documentary called "Moonage Daydream"! It is a fantastic film, very cinematic as opposed to strictly journalistic/documentary, and you will be fully amazed at the genius and brilliance of Mr. Bowie! That film takes you on a journey!

Will probably never be able to name any Bowie song as my favorite, being there are so many. But I'd definitely label Stay as Bowie's coolest song he ever made.

Maybe you should explore Bowie's "Young Americans" album. Expecially the songs "Young Americans", "Facination", "Right", and "Fame".

💥OHHH!!!💥I needed to hear this tonight! One of my fave Bowie songs, & I haven't listened to it in a while! Thank you, guys! 😃👍🏻 Bowie also did a remake of this song, called Stay '97. Check it out if you can, it is FIRE! 🔥

Bowie doesn’t sound like Daft Punk, Daft Punk sounds like David Bowie .

My favorite Bowie tune. Station to Station is a great album.

George Murray's bass is perfection on this song. Every note is just what it should be where it should be when it should be.

Man, you guys have barely scratched the surface on Bowie. 71-73 Ziggy, 74-75 the Soul years, 77-78 Berlin

If you want to experience Bowie's vocal range try 'Wild is the Wind'.

David Bowie was a walking ,talking, singing, living, acting, breathing performance art tour de force . He was and still is undefinable.

There will never be another David Bowie! In a class by himself! So ahead of his time, so creative! The only artist who was able to re-invent himself over and over and so successfully! Saw him at Madison Square Garden on the Diamond Dogs tour and in Philadelphia for the Young Americans tour. They were amazing shows! None of his albums disappoint! I love his ballad Wild is the Wind!

My favorite Bowie tune and maybe his best album. They really bring the funk on this song that rhythm section is really brings it! 🎵 and Bowies voice is haunting! And Slicks guitar is ripping!❤

This is one of the greatest intro ever. He did this live on the Dinah Shore show .

I'm late to the party, but this is the BEST reaction to this track I've EVER seen ❤

This whole album is killer

Bowie was such a genius....so many great songs. Hard to pick a favorite. Haven't heard this one in years.... thanks!

You have to hear the live version recorded at the Nassau center in NY. Jesus, it's incredible!

My favorite Bowie song is Ashes To Ashes. But he's played in quite a few rock genres. The Niles Rodgers produced Let's Dance is a great record. Niles Rodgers is someone you need to check out.

This song is from the same album as "Golden Years", "Station to Station", and "TVC19"! Great album!

He was a total performance artist. Each album was a new character and he was all in as that character until he moved on to the next one. As a very small child, I became obsessed with Bowie. I still am.

I've been a massive Bowie fan for more than 40 years, and have everything he's ever done. And this song is in my top ten Bowie songs. I love his singing here, although it's fair to say the band carries the day. This was the best rhythm section he ever had (as good as *anyone* ever had tbh): Dennis Davis on drums, George Murray on bass, and Carlos Alomar on rhythm guitar. Combine it with Earl Slick's stinging lead and you get one funky mofo of a groove. As someone else said, the '76 live version from Nassau Coliseum is absolutely insane, and includes Bowie singing a note that slurs and morphs into something properly unearthly. Seek it out guys, and keep up the great work!

DAVID FUNKIN' BOWIE! Carlos Palomar took the concept of the chord progression of an earlier song and suggested speeding up the tempo. Earl Slick had some different ideas for solos and chops for the song. David suggested having them "battle it out" throughout the song. Then he asked bassist George Murray to totally funk it up and run wild. My favorite song from "Station To Station", by far!

Bowie worked with so many artists and styles it will freak you out.

Wonderful to see you guys so animated over the brilliance of Bowie! frankly, I need to do a deep dive into his stuff,as this was new to me and I loved it too! I love his voice as well, La, the timbre or whjatever of it, the way he crisply utters words, his accent. His interviews are indescribably FUN to watch. He was a joy, and gave joy.

He sang this in a crooner style (Bing Crosby) and singers from the 40's & 50"s, amazing talent.

Big Bowie fan here but for whatever reason I haven’t heard this song in years. Surprises me all over again just how *funky* it is. Stink-face for days!

Station to Station is my favorite Bowie album! It's fire! 🔥

Joy. Just pure joy.................................!

Loyal BOWIE fan here.. stay is one of my favourite tracks so glad you guys are keeping his memory alive with your reaction’s..he’s got a beautiful voice you just have to listen to the right songs..❤️from 🇬🇧

Bowie loved layering different sounds and beats. There’s a documentary about him making the Young Americans album, using American blues and funk but in a different way. If they’ve already heard it, what’s the point? Right Way was a classic example, the soulful back up singers were like…what the hell is this? 😹 Then once they heard it in context to the song….they were like “oh! Now I understand!” He was an amazing artist in so many ways! 😽💋🎶💕

Bowie was influenced by Black American musicians: check out the entire Young American album with back-up vocals by a very young Luther Vandross (before he became well known)...he called it his “plastic soul” album and a tribute to Gamble and Huff. Also check out the Let's Dance album produced by Chic's Nile Rodgers. Other funky bits scattered around: 1984 (reminds me of Shaft. Also done by Tina Turner), Tonight (duet with Tina Turner) and Secret Life of Arabia (funky riff). Black Tie, White Noise (with Al B Sure). He was a big supporter of Black artists -- and spoke out against MTV for only airing their videos at 2am...he also married Somali model Iman (fire!).

Maybe my favorite reaction from you guys so far. This album was so influential. 1976 was when things started to change, with this album plus the debuts from Blondie and the Ramones, and then the next few years it really broke open, punk, new wave, alternative rock. More Bowie, and while we're on the subject, how about sampling some Blondie if you haven't already? Call Me, Rip Her to Shreds and Atomic are all good places to start.

My favorite Bowie album by far.

I saw Bowie in 1976 during the tour for this album. Probably the loudest show I've ever gone to! What a fantastic musician and innovator. There's an album on KZfaq: Bowie Nassau Coliseum 1976. That's the where and when for me.

Love bowie’s vocals-unconventional, stylistically his own, and psychedelic

Absolutely a great deepcut off arguably his best album

The thin white duke persona Earle slick and Carlos Alomar In guitar Title track is totsl genius

Disco and hard rock in head-on collision at top speed ---it's got to be a Bowie thing...

Great reaction! Bowie was amazing

'Stay' is one of my all time favourite Bowie songs. I saw him live at Earls Court in 1978 and this song was one of the highlights of a superb set, captured on the 'Stage' album. The unfortunately, technical difficulties meant that 'Stay' did not make the final cut. The later release did carry it though, but Adrian Belew's guitar was almost completely lost. Such a shame.

Still my favorite Bowie song. That guitar work by Earl Slick is so tasty, as is the groove!

Shout out to Carlos Alomar, former guitarist for James Brown, who plays a SAVAGE lead on this song!!!! He was newly installed into Bowie’s band about this time, and you can hear him again, this time collaborating along with John Lennon (backing vocals and rhythm guitar) backing Bowie on David’s monster song “Fame”.

Station to Station is a great album you should do completely.

Hopefully you guys continue with Bowie so that you find out what a great singer he is and cannot deny it!!!

Check out "Wild is the Wind." That displays his vocal range. He was just an artistical genius.

Vocals sound great to me…weeeeee!! Great reaction, this track is dynamite! 🧨

You guys would LOVE the song, “Right”. It features a talent Bowie discovered : LUTHER VANDROSS! Luther sings some VERY COMPLEX backing vocals along with Robin Clark, Ava Cherry, and Geoff MacCormack. That one is a stone cold groove!

"Seventy-six? NOTHING we listened to in seventy-six sounded like THIS!"

Best Bowie song

This is crazy! I'm a huge Bowie fan and I've never heard this song for whatever reason. It reminds me of Parliment with George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, and Bootsy. But it's David Bowie, Mick Ronson, and whoever that bass payer was. They definitely took a page out of the Parliament book on this one. I'm gonna look him up. Thanks for the new fresh, old stuff! I loved it!

Yet again the 70's 😊 It was an amazing decade. 👏

Ahhh, you just can't beat the 70's. ❤

This was fun. Great reaction. Bowie was always ahead of his time and influences so many other. He is unique.

I never heard this cut before, but WOW! What a piece of gold! Just can't sit still when this hits. Thanks again for all you do! As for myself, I'm going to dive into a Bowie rabbit hole and go a little deeper.

SRV played on a Bowie track let’s dance. Who woulda thought lol. Just a fun fact fellas

Holy shit what a jam

From the 80's... "MODERN LOVE" "LETS DANCE" and "GOLDEN YEARS"

One of my all time Bowie favorites. If you want to hear his vocal range, try Wild is the Wind off the same album

Bowie's genius was hard to measure. Always experimenting. Bravely trying new styles. In the early days of MTV, rap music was not played. The interview he did where he questioned the interviewer why that was, I believe, opened the door for rap and other new music to start being played there. Bowie said more with his eyes listening to the MTV spokesman stumble over his answers than he could ever say with his words. The public reaction forced corporate offices to change their policies and give those new stars the attention they deserved.

I was shook a bit when i saw you haven't reacted to this ABSOLUTE CLASSIC,, Sly & The Family Stone "Family Affair",, A 100% dope track,, No Cap..."Happy"

Oregon is in the house with you two with this one.. thanks,

The bass towards the end always gets me. Funky.

This song is fire! I caught this concert in Detroit in 1976....Earl Slick on guitar, George Murray on bass and the incredible Dennis Davis on drums. FIRE!

I saw him in the concert in 1976 after he had released the album "Station To Station", where this song is.

In terms of vocals then vs now is that artist were authentically themselves - no one was trying to one-up each other with vocal gymnastics. That came later when little girls got their vocal training emulating Mariah Carry and landed them on the Disney Chanel. Does Cher have a technically great voice? She IS CHER!

Righteous my men! Was 16 hearing this for the first time in my hometown of Philly.....still recovering!!! Thanks for entering the Bowie rabbit hole...you won't want to leave. Best channel out here! Go Phils & Birds❤ 🔥💃🏼

Great reaction to my second favorite song from this album, Station to Station. Definitely react to the title track from it. It’s long but well worth it-an underrated Bowie tune.

This was a great suggestion from a phenomenal album and there's also a song called " 1984 ".off of the Diamond Dogs album that reminds me so much of this one

For real getting dressed as Ozzy for a Halloween party as I watch this

Love your no-nonsense delivery and reaction to the music - you make it all about the music for which I thank you guys. Keep on keeping on doing what you're doing....!

He was King David by 1976; I'm exactly the right age to have been a 'Bowie casualty' and I was - I adored him. His voice is much better than you give credit to. He's a beautiful singer - check Wild Is The Wind from the same LP; it'll make you cry. This is absolutely nuthin' like Daft Punk (love them too) btw.
