his rehearsels are better than most actual concerts of others

This is how a rehearsal is supposed to be run. Fun to watch and Bowie sounds in great voice as always. Everyone having serious fun!

And the world is now a better place for this bit of footage..

Wow, Carlos basically ran rehearsals. Very cool to see.

Bowie in Rehearsal in NYC in Prime Form! Looking sharp and sounding great! Peter Frampton on 🎸 Guitar! Incredible Close Footage! Thanks to whoever recorded this and thanks to whoever posted this on KZread. The Best Hair since Elvis! Amazing! . RIP Bowie

Thanks for uploading this footage. This is a gem! Bowie and Peter Frampton together! Frampton on guitar, a great talent in his own right! I especially like that he sang Blue Jean which is one of my favorite Bowie songs. Now I'm sorry I missed this tour. Also, Bowie looks in top form here with the perfectly styled hair and steel toed shoes smiling and having fun. What a smooth voice he had! He will be missed.

Thank you for sharing this footage of David, Carlos, Carmine, Peter & the band. David Bowie's legacy will live on forever.

Just Brilliant!!! OMG I was 15 around this time now I'm 43. Time Lies Waiting in the Wings! Thank you!!! RIP David, Legend!

1. Never Let Me Down 0:00 2. Blue Jean 3:22 3. Time Will Crawl 7:50 4. Shining Star 13:24 This is actually an astonishing video. Thanks a ton for the post. These versions sound amazing and I bet if the Never Let Me Down album had sounded more like this the album would be much more appreciated. This version of Shining Star is particularly meaningful because Bowie never wound up playing it live on the Glass Spider tour. Very rare find! Unfortunately the version here has a few stops and starts but it also gives a glimpse of what this song could have been. I've always felt it should have been a hit.

It's great to see them doing rehearsal and going through the process. Thank you for posting this.

Got to see this Glass Spider Tour Concert in Anaheim, CA in 1987. To say that I feel lucky to have seen his magnificent showmanship is quite the understatement. Excellent experience!

Damn, you can really feel how professional they were in this intimate setting

What absolutely fantastic footage. ❤

That was so interesting. There must be tonnes of unreleased rehearsal material knocking around. Plus studio stuff. I've heard there is a vault with lots of stuff in. Bowie told an up and coming musician to never throw anything away as you never know when you will need it again. He had stuff he wrote and never released at the time only to revisit years later and rearrange it.

rip special man x

Thanks for posting, brought a tear to my eye watching this. Amazing 👏

These songs are so much more convincing than the overblown production of the actual live show. Bowie was at his best just fronting a band, not all the extra bs.

Oh Man the 80's (shakes my head) Yeah I was there, and I love it all 😕

Effortlessly cool

Time willcrawl is a hell of a tune..a rehearsal better than most would produce in a career. Rip

Time Will Crawl is an excellent song. So underrated

Never Let Me Down, I love that song

Saw this tour in Chicago what an under rated album and show❤️ it was fantastic

Very cool! Thank you!

thanx realy very nice to see!!!!

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing these awesome memories.

+Cecila Winn Practice every day. Never think you already know everything you need to know, because you don't, and you won't. Don't be the best musician in the circle of people you work with, because you won't learn anything. Get out and meet other musicians, and try to find the best, most talented people you can find to work with. Get out and perform; there is no substitute for experience. Meet club owners, producers, label owners, artists, and anyone and everyone else you can meet. Get a job working at a studio, or a club, or a theater, or a record label, or somewhere where you will intersect with talented, creative people. Don't be afraid to start at the bottom; what matters is that you start, and that you don't stop . You will never be the most talented musician; there will always be someone better than you, but it's those who meet people and put themselves out there that end up in "the right place at the right time." Be humble. Be grateful. Work hard.
