While working in LA, we got in early to the sound studio on a Sunday planning to get breakfast and hang out, when David Bowie suddenly walked in. He had come in for a visit, arrived from England and couldn't sleep so he walked around Sunset Blvd. by himself until our studio was opened. We told him of our plan for food and asked him if he'd join us, which he did. I got the best food ever from Luther's, who was next door to the Whiskey, and we all munched and read the LA Times for a couple of hours. He was so incredibly sweet and funny. He just hung out and was completely relaxed, the best artist I've ever met, and I feel like I met most of them, Bowie has incredible charisma, he just was one of those people who are "stars", just out of this world. His kindness and hilarity make me miss him to this day. He really had that mysterious charm you can't define, but it was one of the best memories I have of those days....
David Bowie was a very good friend of Rick Wakeman's , which tells you (and I say this with complete respect and admiration for both men) that David did NOT have a short fuse!
@@blzbob7936 Wow, thank you! That's a lovely compliment, and I'm not anyone in the business, except for sometimes helping out in the studio. My husband is the sound guy in the family, and has one of those great personalities that everyone loves. He worked with everyone from Prince to Michael Jackson and beyond. He is so good at getting on with anyone and everyone, always relaxed and comfortable. We had a great time with so many amazing people. But, Bowie was really loaded with magic, no one else ever affected me that way, he just had such a sweet way of being funny and making you feel like he was excited to be with you. That was pretty rare in the business sometimes...🤩

My older brother Paul (later a guitarist for the Jim Carroll Band) was friends with a few guys in the '78 Isolar tour. I got home from my mailroom job and my mother told me I had a call from "a Carlos Alomar" with tickets to the show that night (of course I already had a pair). I had the message to meet up with them after the show. Imagine... this 18 year old sitting at a small round table in a hotel bar in Phoenix with George and Dennis and up walks David Bowie. He pulls up a chair next to me. He could not have been friendlier and genuinely attentive. He actually asked me about me. No star ego stuff. He didn't have to do that. He hung with us about 45 minutes. The 3 piece lounge musicians took a break. Roger Powell quietly goes up to the piano and played the Johnny Mathis classic "Misty" and a couple other light lounge classics for a sweet elderly couple, dancing with no idea who the patrons were. A couple hours earlier he was playing "Heroes" to thousands. An evening I will NEVER forget. And to this day I can proudly say I had drinks with David Bowie.
David was an enigma. A musical warrior. His music was his gift to mankind. Unlike some rock stars who accepted knighthoods and became part of the 'establishment' that they once rebelled against as young men, David declined when he was offered the chance to become SIR David Bowie. He said "That's not what I have dedicated 40 years of my life for." Dear David - for your integrity, your honor, your courage and your so-damn-sweet music - thank you for being that role model - your star will never fade.
Many of us are Mott the Hoople fans because of David Bowie, who provided Mott the Hoople the option of either "All the Young Dudes" or "Suffragette City." Although "All the Young Dudes" became a massive hit, "Suffragette City" reached the Top 33 of the Decade, which shows Bowie's generosity in offering such incredible songs to a developing band.
Losing Bowie hit me in the gut hard. Heaven is making beautiful music with all the huge musicians we've lost over the years. We will always have your music and for that I thank you. ❤️🙏🕊️
@@jenA9026You've got that right. I don't know about your little local trouble in the USA, but we had effing Brexit over here, which has wrecked everything for at least a generation.
Mick should have never been let go by David. They were a magical duo. I’m 68 and well remember when they performed here in Santa Monica. I was in High School and absolutely marveled at them playing and singing together. I’d never seen and heard such a duo. They were brilliant. Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was and is magical. Those early days were unbelievable still.
Mick had his own Mainman record deal. Who knows. Bowie was always finding great guitar players, Mick was the best. Listen to Panic in Detroit. The best guitar tones.
@@paulinemccracken2262 Good point. Sad if true because together they sounded so great. I went to the Diamond Dogs tour in LA. 10th row stage left. It was so good. As a 17 year old my buddy and I sat with all the celebrities. Dianna Ross. Elton John. and many others.
@@Joshualuv13 I saw him three times but they were good ones- Diamond Dogs, Station To Station and Young Americans tours. And also, him playing keyboards for Iggy Pop in "76
I am not the biggest fan but know enough of his songs to realise he was a great songwriter and performer. Every interview i have seen with him he was also so interesting.
That is just so heartwarming. Far more than I expected. Left me feeling just like after listening to any number of his astounding albums. The world will never see his like again.
I was in a doc in a box waiting room when I heard of David Bowie’s passing. I started breaking into his “Changes”. I don’t normally do that when a musician passes, but him I did.
Love the man and his art. I was able to see him perform on his Glass Spider Tour in New Orleans as a fresh faced seventeen year old back in '87. I was up in the front row and he knelt down and moved from one side of the stage to the other high fiving the fans. When I got the high five he stopped, pointed directly at me, winked and said, "Yeah, man!" Best concert experience ever.
Was fortunate to catch the recent performance by the Blackstar Symphony: Danny McCaslin, Jason Lindner, and Tim Lefebvre who helped create the original Blackstar recording. Gail Ann Dorsey, David Poe, Nate Wood, and John Cameron Mitchell were also part of the performance led by conductor Tim Davies. They had a 65 piece orchestra with them, and it was an incredible performance. After they performed Blackstar they played some of David's other songs, with Gail Ann Dorsey singing the most beautiful rendition of Life on Mars, which received a standing ovation. I'd like to think that David was watching out there in the stars, seeing his influence and the love that people have for him, smiling beautifully.
Bowie managed to condense a lifetime of creativity in his last album, Blackstar. A chronology of his life and death right before our eyes. His influence was immense. A brilliant artist.
These insights from Bowie's former bandmates offer a glimpse into the multifaceted personality and profound impact of one of music's most iconic figures.
Or Earl Slick. (W.T.F.) Earl & Carlos were one hell of a great combo. Carlos is one of the best rhythm players ever & Earl's absolutely iconic lead introduced some of the coolest most interesting solos & phrasing that gave inspiration to a lot of up & coming players. I'm so glad you brought up Carlos's contributions, reminding me of both these gentlemen & their music. 🤟🐻❄️
Yes they missed quite a few. But maybe they weren't able to get info in time to do the story. Eno, Slick, SRV, Nile Rogers, Zac Alford, Sterling Campbell, Mark Plati, Gerry Leonard and so many more!
A fine vid, and what interested me the most, was the Mick part. I adore his guitar playing so much, the albums after his departure just aren't the same.
Bowie helped so many people, both friends and strangers. He helped out Peter Frampton when his career was in the gutter and he was bankrupt (hard to believe but true). He was one in a million.
This bio is a cream puff piece-- just too flattering. Why wasn't the fact mentioned that Bowie ripped off his band the "Spiders," and Ronson, providing them with NO MONEY and no credit. They were shocked to find out that new keyboard player Mike Garson, who contributed to the Aladdin Sane sessions was being paid $1,000 a week while they were on £30. They asked for a raise and Bowie arrogantly called them all disloyal and after one last performance quickly broke up the band without letting them know in advance. He did not even bother to attend Ronson's funeral.
First of all, Bowie was as broke as anyone else. It was Tony Defries who ripped them off not Bowie. It took years of lawsuits and lawyers for Bowie himself to recoup any money.
His intellect, honest, candid nature, his humility, and his humor are all captured in some of the interviews he gave in later years. A beautiful person, a remarkable artist, and an amazingly diverse singer - he was the complete package.
The Spiders, especially Ronno, helped to put Bowie on the map. I heard that it was management & record company bad deals that led to their dismissal, not simply being fired by Bowie. Lots of good music through the years.
I was fortunate enough to see lots of David in the late 70s early 80s. He was a very generous spirit, but the best thing he ever gave me was some great advice. He told me to invest in a pair of moleskin pants and I’ve been buying and wearing them ever since. Unparalleled comfort and so so stylish. I’m convinced their anti-viral qualities protected me from Covid 19. Thank you, David, r.I.p.
My very first 45 vinyl was Sorrow when I was about 12. Have adored Bowie ever since. David turned me onto Iggy. We miss you, David. *I miss (bless) you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes. I love you badly, just in time at times I guess.... because of you I need to rest, because it's you that sets the test..* Thanks for the memories.
Didn't Bowie turn his back on Ronson when he needed help with cancer treatment? Ronson's guitar is emblematic of Bowie's foundational material. Bowie and Ronson both died of the same cancer, unfortunately.
Sadly, it's something narcissists do. Once you become ill, you won't see them for dust. They don't have the empathy or emotional depth required to care about someone in such situations. Plus, Bowie was transitioning from vulnerable (covert) narcissist to grandiose (overt) narcissist around that time. Anyone who doubts this, go watch the two Russel Harty interviews and compare Bowie's persona between the two
Oh wow Mick Ronson never played on Space Oddity It was some guy called Mick Wayne. Ronson stared on Hunky Dory with some of the Spiders from Mars session guys So get you info right people
*Mick Ronson. Hull's Finest (along with other Spiders).* Rest in Peace, Mick. To you and yours. _Perhaps, one of these old afternoons, we will share a fern curl?_ All the best, M. Until the next Astral Plane. Rab (and your school friend: Beryl Kaye.) 🍻😎 🕊
Angela Bowie never said David Bowie and Mick Jagger were lovers. She said that she once came in and found them in bed together, sleeping, with little or no clothes on. She admits that it might just have been a, like, "oh we're coming back from clubbing and we're SO tired we'll just disrobe and go to sleep" kind of thing.
Bowie poached Adrian Belew from Frank Zappa in 77-78, for a couple albums & tours. Belew returned a decade and a half later to be Bowie's musical director and guitarist on the Sound + Vision tour.
Later on based on interviews from various musicians (recorded with) he was a bit of a tyrant in studio. The only one he kept was Garson. He'd get an idea and get Garson to play in various styles (classical, jazz, ect) till heard something he liked.
Bowie was a prolific musician. He always seemed nice. Like he didn't have to prove anything to anyone. I like "China girl", "Modern Love" His earlier stuff was really out there so I didn't take much interest in it except for one song "Space Oddity." Adam Sandler used that song in "Mr. Deeds" RIP David.
I'm not taking a run at you by any mean, I was just wondering what you meant by "really out there" What tunes for you fall into that category? The album Space Oddity and Hunky Dory are very accessible albums so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts oh his "out there" work :)
@@reasonsreasonably Anger issues? Wow. You should seek help with your Bowie idolatry. Ripping off other artists in the music industry is, yes, pathetic. Life is too short for you to be living with your hand in the sand.
@@reasonsreasonably You are the angry one here - it's so obvious. And you're judgmental as well. You're so easily triggered by someone who doesn't idolize Bowie and who stated a fact - Bowie stealing SRV's licks - which is known throughout the music world. The question becomes: why are you so defensive? You're an adult, right?
Rest In Peace David Bowie.
While working in LA, we got in early to the sound studio on a Sunday planning to get breakfast and hang out, when David Bowie suddenly walked in. He had come in for a visit, arrived from England and couldn't sleep so he walked around Sunset Blvd. by himself until our studio was opened. We told him of our plan for food and asked him if he'd join us, which he did. I got the best food ever from Luther's, who was next door to the Whiskey, and we all munched and read the LA Times for a couple of hours. He was so incredibly sweet and funny. He just hung out and was completely relaxed, the best artist I've ever met, and I feel like I met most of them, Bowie has incredible charisma, he just was one of those people who are "stars", just out of this world.

"TheMan Who Fell To Earth" and "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence!"
"Zoolander"!

Musical are big thinkers and Politian's are small dreamers.
Why aren't the people who were actually there ever heard from on these videos?
David Bowie was in another realm totally from Elvis in talent, elegance, intelligence, vocal and dignity. No comparisson at all
well to be fair they were both good singers
Although David was A HUGE INFLUENTIAL STAR!!! he was very down to earth, charming and humble 🙏💜🙏
BIG INFLUENCE IN OUR BAND
Does anyone know where the first footage in this video is from. I’m a huge Bowie fan but I’ve never seen it and I can’t seem to find it.
Uh... didn't Bowie do backing vocals on It's Only Rock 'n' Roll? Seems there was more than one Bowie-Jagger collaboration.
Turn the sound down and read the subtitles. You won't miss anything.
They made dancing in the streets in 1984 and showed it at Live AId.
It's too bad none of the sideman & women let be known how generous he was in the MONEY department.
Dinah Shore: Rock-n-Roll has been very good to you .
David Bowie: I've been very good to Rock-n-Roll.
Later on based on interviews from various musicians (recorded with) he was a bit of a tyrant in studio. The only one he kept was Garson. He'd get an idea and get Garson to play in various styles (classical, jazz, ect) till heard something he liked.
Ronson didn't play on Space Oddity
No real answer on the Bowie/Jagger romance allegations. Only some quotes from Jagger about some commonalities and otherwise uninteresting nonsense.
dancing in the streets was just a big homosexual Romp between David Bowie and Mick Jagger
and?
His most interesting role was in the gut-wrenching film Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, all in German. At least for a few of us ....
It's an incredible and exquisite soundtrack of his music for the movie...I didn't know he was actually in the movie.
Not a word on Bowie's not attending Ronson's burial???
Jones hung up his Bowie persona (his so-called death) and took on the identity of Jack Armstrong.
Bowie was a prolific musician. He always seemed nice. Like he didn't have to prove anything to anyone. I like "China girl", "Modern Love" His earlier stuff was really out there so I didn't take much interest in it except for one song "Space Oddity."

Nope. Bowie was such a narcissist that he videoed himself playing SRV's guitar licks on "Let's Dance". Pathetic.

@@reasonsreasonably Anger issues? Wow. You should seek help with your Bowie idolatry. Ripping off other artists in the music industry is, yes, pathetic. Life is too short for you to be living with your hand in the sand.
@@reasonsreasonably You are the angry one here - it's so obvious. And you're judgmental as well. You're so easily triggered by someone who doesn't idolize Bowie and who stated a fact - Bowie stealing SRV's licks - which is known throughout the music world. The question becomes: why are you so defensive?
You're an adult, right?
The Sales bros... LOL. Everyone knows they only hung out for the party. c'mon...
Why was Earl slick left out

Iggy Pop and David Bowie in the 1970s Berlin shooting heroin ......so what everyone knows this .
as a rocker, none better. . .never needed to 'dress up'
Maybe should have quoted something from Stevie Ray Vaughn to give this some balance.
Garcia is Bowie's iconic pianist, as was Ronson's guitar. Davide knew how to choose. He chose our great friend as photographer.
There was only one true friend for David and this was Peter Frampton!!
Just a fluff piece on Bowie. Yawn.
