Love the way you get Bowie 🎉

Adrian Belew is a fucking guitar God! His ambient distortion style of playing a guitar cannot be matched. And Davids other favorite is Carlos Alomar. Oh, and lets not forget Stevie Ray Vaughn and Peter Frampton and of course Mick Ronson. Bowie never fails to deliver.

THANKS TO SOCIAL MEDIA I CAN LISTEN TO DAVID BOWIE Again 😅

That opening sound is to replicate a train - Stationtostation-. Been a Bowie fan from the beginning. He was truly special, otherworldly and I spent a couple of weeks in a surreal daze after his passing. But what a legacy he left for us. So glad you are taking this journey. There are just too many songs to suggest as reactions. Where do I start?. I'm going to have to think about this one!. I'm sure you'll be given plenty of great recommendations in the meantime. Great reaction, Pope, as always.

I ditched work at the club to see this concert...Bowie in a beautiful black suit, white dress shirt, skinny black tie, slicked back hair..Thin white .Duke indeed...heroin chic. Extraordinary. Was fired next day, someone dimed me. No regrets.

I saw this tour in Memphis david and the band kicked ass.

Bowie loved afro American musicians.

To me, the best opening song ever for a album.

Love me some David!!!! Legendary Excellent artist!!! A Rock god among gods!!!!

In my opinion David Bowie between 1976-1980 is his most artistic period,maybe not his most commercial and financially rewarding period,it just moves me and puts you in that era almost like travelling back in time, i was too young to have seen him live in 1978 but did get to see him live in Liverpool in the 1990s and he was amazing. RIP Starman 🙏.

Seen this performed several times a masterpiece

I love you vibing with the song

It’s just amazing when someone just gets it and you my friend Get it welcome to Bowie

Bowie, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are the soundtrack to my early teenage years. The Great White Duke is greatly missed by so many of us.

Thank you for letting us "boomers" relive our childhood and teen years. We had the best choices in music to listen too.❤️. Love seeing you young ones hear what we enjoyed and enjoying yourself. You reactors help keep the music alive for younger generations.

That album! Start to finish is brilliance. Thank you.

maestro..... #gratefulforever #bowieforever! thanks for this reaction Pope! 😍

Lol, thats Adrian Belew on lead guitar, freshly "stolen" by Bowie from Frank Zappas band when the tours crossed paths in Cologne..which led to a well known "disagreement" between the two in a German restaurant.

The Return of the Thin White Duke!! Hell yeah Pope!! Good choice bro thx! Rock on!!¡

Love you, bro.

Completely Insane song Unreal

Have been a fan since the beginning Ziggy and the spider from Mars. Sad 😔 😟 day when he died. He was too young.

I saw Bowie in Memphis that year, it was a fantastic concert. Nice to see this video, it brought back memories. Nice reaction too.

looks like Adrian Belew on guitar

I know this David Bowie Life Record since 1978 and looove it - but now it´s my very first time that I saw this video clip of it :) - wow :)) - thanks so much for showing this - super :)

Great reaction- now listen to “Stay” ~ magical.

Absolute greatness !

This is my favorite Bowie tune bro!! Nice transitions in it, great guitar 🎸 work. Hell yeah Pope!! Ty. Rock on!!¡

Adrian Belew guitar genius.

Great performance- I saw that tour in Kansas City, excellent

Remember buying this in high school ~ still love it 🌟

Yes! Yes! Yes! As always, thank you squire.

Great reaction! And great to see that he still has the power to impress young people. I have been a fan for 41 years, and Station to Station was for a long time my favorite Bowie song.

Great innovation on the intro with Brian Eno. Then the song goes in a surprisingly melodic direction. Prepping us for what’s coming as David takes us to a hard driving powerful place. He was the embodiment of GENIUS! The one and only rock god. Admired by so many.

He was so high on coke when he recorded this album that he had almost no memories of making it. And yet, for me, it's probably his best album. LOVE this track.

You got to be kidding me, I just listened to this song and came on here to listen to it again, and boom, here we are again, Thank you, Thank you!.

The first time I saw Bowie was on this tour. What a freakin' band he had: Carlos Alomar and Adrian Belew on guitars, Simon House on violin, Roger Powell on keyboards. Oh, don't forget the DAM Trio, George Murray and Dennis Davis (along with Carlos Alomar). My girlfriend (now my wife) and me missed the last encore or so; we were busy being busted for smoking pot. LOL! Otherwise, an amazing show.

Ah, this was when Bowie lured Adrian Belew away from Frank Zappa's band. He's of my favourite guitar players, he does such an innovative epic couple of solo's on Talking head's "The Great Curve" which is also a favourite of mine, Brian Eno produced the album Remain in light and his influence added Fela Kuti stylings to the mix. Eno wasn't just about ambient, he loved West African music and produced some bands from the area back in the late 70's..I'm so off topic, this Bowie tune and performance was great too.

Another masterclass from the genius that was bowie

That beginning is intense! I was playing the song with my sister when our Dad came home. He loved all kinds of music and we would share what we liked. Listening to this he became visibly uncomfortable. When questioned, he said he was waiting for the tune and the sounds were rhythmically continuing for too long. 😹 We all started laughing when the beat dropped. Interesting...He concurred! Thank God every day for his influence. 😽💋🎶

For another good Bowie live, I would suggest Rock n Roll Suicide, either the performance from 1973 or 1990 (they’re vastly different, but equally great) or Dead Man Walking Acoustic 1997.

This liver performance is more up-tempo than the original album version and, I think, sounds even better for it.

Thanks for a great reaction. I saw Bowie twice in London on the 1978 tour. Still my favourite gigs! Absolutely blew me away and possibly the best touring band he put together.

I was blessed to see this live during his 1978 tour! The fact he could bring this complex song to life was intoxicating! Thank you for sharing young man! 😽💋🎶

I love your groove brother

Hey Pope! Happy Sunday! BOWIE!!! 🔈🔉🔊🙏☮💜

Tony Kaye from Yes version 1 played keys on this tour and can be seen clearly here ❤🎉

Thin white duke is a fascist character. He shows up in the Love is lost, lost is love video. He tries to comfort the very empathic major Tom. This shit goes deep bro. And no, Bowie is not a fascist. "The European canon is here, it's too late" he's a futurist through and through. It's the (hello Steve Reich version VEVO. Check it out, it's bone chilling.

Thank you for doing Station to Station! There's not enough variety of Bowie reaction videos: I've seen enough Starman and Heroes! Please consider diving into The Man Who Sold The World, Diamond Dogs, Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory....

Glad you found the Nacho Video channel, he's got tons of amazing old Bowie video, a lot of which he's painstakingly assembled/edited/cleaned up from bootlegs and whatnot. There's a version of this song from the Isolar tour two years earlier, which was the first real concert I'd ever been to, at 14. To say it blew my mind would be an understatement; it opened with the 1929 Luis Bunuel/Salvador Dali film "Un Chien Andalou" which was both horrifying and the greatest thing I'd ever seen, until Bowie came on, that is. So cool seeing you dig this stuff, subscribed right away PS Melvins did an incredible cover of this in 2013, with JG Thirwell on vocals

Thank you for not pretending to hear "Heroes" for the first time, and thank you for picking this version of a great track. Well done.

6:26 - "It's not the side effects of cocaine" ... Umm... xD But still, he was such an great artist and human beeing.

I found your channel recently, and I love how you're deep diving into prog rock and alternative rock. I assume you're going out of your comfort zone musically, which is a great thing to see from reaction channels, as opposed to the ones that react to generic 70's/90's pop hits. Station to Station is such a great Bowie song and album, possibly the funkiest he's done in his career. If you get a chance, check out the track 'Stay' from the same album. it's so good!

Agreed. This song and album is a true masterpiece. The influences he sources and uses his special alchemy on is truly astonishing. That he doesn't remember even making the album is frustrating for us fans ... but understandable considering his habits of the time. Truly astounding musician

Most excellent. Did not know that King Crimson guitarist, Adrian Belew, got his start with Bowie. Most impressive lifepath. "Bring me the Disco King" is a fun song you should like. I LOVED the way he skipped away. If everyone skipped, this would be a groovier world. Less goal-driven, and living in the moment.

Bowie poached Adrian out of Frank Zappa's band Frank discovered Adrian here in Nashville at a little club called Cantrell's where me and my friends had seen him and then took him on tour. Imagine our surprise when we see him a couple years later when he's playing guitar for David Bowie. Adrian tells a funny story about how David tried to be nice to Frank about stealing Adrian out of his band and Frank was having none of it.

Zappa was brilliant, but he could be a major dickhead. Bowie asked Belew if he'd like to collaborate, Belew said, "sure." Next thing you know, Zappa was accusing Bowie of stealing "his" guitarist (I believe he actually got in David's face about it when their paths crossed at an airport). Bowie and Belew were both too good-natured to let it turn into a public fight. They were both like, "Yeah, okay Frank, whatever," and laughed it off.

@@michaelminch5490 Adrian wound up at King Crimson, he was that good. No wonder they fought over him. Frank was very kind and generous when we briefly chatted in Boston about some German lyrics from Joe's Garage II. But geniuses can get cranky and possessive, and Zappa, Bowie and Fripp are all that.

I remember when he brought this tour to NYC and, after I started hearing/seeing parts of this concert, I’ve kicked myself ever since for not being there! This performance is almost too amazing to be believed, so many great different parts orchestrated seamlessly. Love your reactions, how you totally take it in get it feel it 🤘🏽

You should definitely check out the concert version of this song that was featured in the movie, “Christine F”.

Love your Bowie reactions. Many in the US missed his brilliant resurgence in the 90s, 2000s and onward to his death in 2016. Check out Hallo Spaceboy (ass-crushing industrial), Dead Man Walking (drum n bass pop), Everyone Says Hi (post-Britpop), and of course, BLACKSTAR. Cheers from New York, Ian

Love your response to Bowie. A straight up genius. He had to metaphorically "kill" Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, and that "starman" imagine to venture into Plastic Soul, which was more successful commercially. Mick Ronson was his better half and then he died young. Got screwed royally both financially and professionally. "Diamond Dogs" helped him make the transition.

The whole song is a Kabbalahlistic trip through the tree of life

Blackstar please! ❤😂

Reckon you would love Bowie's Won't You Rock And Roll With Me, tis fab ✨️

If you like this version of "Station to Station" you'll love the Nassau Coliseum 1976 live version.

What a persona. He was truly The Thin White Duke. I hope you listen to the album because this song is not good live it's so much Fuller on the album and also Stay and tvc-15 amazing songs

Love your Bowie reactions. Great to see . You might like "Black Tie White Noise" from the album of the same name and "Loving the Alien" live from the Reality Tour also as a great example of other facets of Bowie's career. There are 28 albums worth of great songs so you are on a wonderful adventure.

Analogy us longing to return to HOME , OHM…Spirit ….ONENESS …ONELOVE,….

Funny reaction. Thanks for that. I always wonder whether young people like you would recognice the sound of the beginning of this. Sure it is a train. That makes sense in a song called Station to Station, yeah, but the sound imitates the start of a steam locomotive which was old fashioned technique even in the time I was young. So a couple of generations later can people be familiar with it?

This 78 Isolar II Tour was the second time I saw Bowie. The show was amazing. Look up the musicians on that tour. All top notch.

Cruising into the station ... I was 18, living in New York, a scholarship student on the razor edge of sanity. Flaming out, nearing a complete psychotic break, spinning out with hundreds of poems, readying myself for an appearance at Carnegie Hall. Thank God I have the clippings. My mind was about to go into blackout for two years.

Then he skips away. lol ! Check out the width of a circle.

Nice reaction! Still a lot of Bowie to explore! And I think you have still not made any Steely Dan, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa? Correct? And these are only a few of the most iconic of the 70s. You are entertaining when you find something you really like, and I think you will enjoy it!

Always pushing music to a new place

At the time Bowie wrote this album, he was eating only peppers, milk, and cocaine. He was reported to weigh only 80 lbs. at one point, thus "the thin white duke." He would often stay up for three to four days at a time. His level of paranoia and disinterest in rock and being a rock star began to grow: "There will be no more rock'n'roll records or tours from me. The last thing I want to be is some useless fucking rock singer." Really odd stories about Bowie were circulating at this time Bowie living in a house full of ancient Egyptian artifacts, burning black candles, seeing bodies fall past his window, having his semen stolen by witches, receiving secret messages from the Rolling Stones, and living in morbid fear of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, who had talked to Bowie a bit about the occult. Despite the noise of a train in the opening, Bowie said the title of "Station to Station" did not refer to railway stations but to Stations of the Cross, the series of 14 images depicting Christ's path to his crucifixion, each symbolizing a stopping-point for prayer. It was about the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, evident in the line "from Kether to Malkuth", which bookend the Tree of Life: "so for me the whole album was symbolic and representative of the trip through the Tree of Life". The song displays a combination of Christian and Jewish allusions. The song refers to William Shakespeare's play The Tempest. Fixation with the occult was evident in such phrases as "white stains", the name of a book of poetry by Crowley. Cocaine is also referenced directly in the line: "It's not the side effects of the cocaine / I'm thinking that it must be love." A LOT going on here, more than meets the ear at first listen.
