Bowie "Heroes" Musikladen 1978
"Heroes" from Musikladen (1978, 21 May @Radio Bremen Studio 3). David Bowie with Carlos Alomar, Dennis Davis, George Murray, Adrian Belew, Roger Powell, Sean Mayes, and Simon House. Definitive live performance featuring Davis’ spectacular drum fills, Murray’s galloping funk bass, Belew and House’s Fripp/Eno inspired searing drones, Carlos’ joyful grooving, Mayes’ steady keys, Powell’s power synth, and David’s passionate lead vocals. A brilliantly innovative yet faithful version of one of the very finest rock ballads.
(This was part of an uploaded video of a re-broadcast that had been on YT several weeks after David’s passing, notably with better sound than other Heroes-only videos on YT at that time. That full video seems to have been since removed, but in 2019 an even better upload of a later re-broadcast was posted; while the volume is lower in it, the overall video/audio quality is much better, so it’s worth checking out (“Heroes” is @7:50) here:

Magnificent song and wow I loved the sound of Carlos on guitar. Just effortless...very under rated. Incredible he's good and that band!
I saw Bowie on this same tour, same band on May 8th 1978 at Madison Square Garden. By far the greatest live musical experience of my life. After opening with the ambient textures of Warszawa, the full band kicked into this brand new song called "Heroes". Within 30 seconds, it was clear to all that this song would be one for the ages.
This song came out of the Hansa studio as a pure diamond: perfect. The closer to that original he and others stayed, the better it was. He was the epitome of the second half of the seventies: scarce, ahead, timeless, fascinating and tragic. Nothing in rock was never that good anymore afterwards.
Love Bowie....but this is the best band ever ( David knew this)

You got that right me friend 👍🏽 The list is pretty long 😬
What a killer band Bowie had! Dennis Davis was by far my biggest influence as a drummer when I grew up in the 70s and I studied every groove and fill he ever played! Not forgetting George Murray, who had everything a bonafide bass guitar guru should have. And Adrian Belew... wow, what an innovative guitarist! This is pure love for me...

@@alfredoesparza1893 Dennis Davis seems to be a icon that people have forgotten. His drum part on Look back in anger off of Lodger is timeless
Bowie says...we are creating music for XXI century in 1971 Genius!!!
Never ever beaten as solo artist. Miss ya space man ❤️
Great voice, great song, great fashion, great band, great show and the greatest DAVID BOWIE!!!
You were one of the very best Davey Jones ....RIP Starman....You will be forever missed and remembered.....⭐🎤🎸🎹🎛️🎚️🔥💪👊🙏

1.35 - Listen to that fill of Dennis Davis :). Makes Carlos laugh. They clearly having fun on stage.
BEST LIVE VESION I'VE HEARD,BRAVO!!!

Wow, I never knew Belew played Bowie before the glass spider tour. They’re perfect for each other, I wish they worked together more.
Sólo cada 100años se dan esta clase de genios
Very nice version with Violin! We are all " Heroes ", but in different ways!
No-one could sear a note, like Adrian Belew.... an epic-ly good guitarist.

who's the brother playing rhythm? Great vibe too EDIT oh duh right in the description. Carlos Alomar.
Interessant, dass man die TomTom in der >Trommel abgenommen hat! Heutzutage rid ja immer von oben abgenommen.
Grande , alucinante Bowie y que joven ... Eterno
Adrian....wow! David really nailed the vocal...♥️♥️
One of the very few who could make a band this eclectic work perfectly.

BOWIE fue un genio para,tener esa capacidad de reinventarse en el tiempo en la música
J’adore ce groupe
Versione fantastica! Grazie ! 🤩
there is such a thing as too good
What mesmerizes me the most, Bowie singing, A Belew's soaring guitar or C Alomar's rhythm on that incredible Alembic Series 1? Wahi' Valleys
Powell’s ARP String Ensemble obligatos and his pounding Rhodes are epic.
WOW 😲
Je ne connaissais pas cette version de Heroes. Enregistrée 😊. Merci 👍👍Pour moi, c'est la chanson la plus importante de ce grand artiste, elle évoque Andy Warhol et le job principal des dauphins.
Forever ❤️
So satisfying
@1:37 the fill that makes 'em all feel like, Whut?!
God knows don't anyone think he sung this from his soul
100% креатив!!!

There is something special about how Germans record a band. There is always this special vibe going on. Also if you look at the Rock Palast registrations. Or this one, AC/DC in a German tv show. kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4OIr9lpn5SrfLA.html
Holy smokes! Is that Adrian Belew? David Who?
What kind of guitar is Carlos playing?

For years Luther vandross was his backing singer.

It was only the Young Americans album where he was a backing vocalist who added some ideas and was duly credited. That experience certainly inspired Vandross to make music his career choice.
