Once there were mountains on mountains
And once there were sunbirds to soar with
And once I could never be down
Got to keep searching and searching
Oh, what will I be believing and who will connect me with love?
Wonderful, wonderful, wonder when
Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?
Drink to the men who protect you and i
Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high

Its not the side-effects of the cocaine
Im thinking that it must be love
Its too late - to be grateful
Its too late - to be late again
Its too late - to be hateful
The european cannon is here

Shot in Vancouver I was there BC place :-)
SRV was suppose to be his guitar player but turned down the 500$ a night

Dear_Leader "SRV was suppose to be his guitar player but turned down the 500$ a night"

???! Confused, because this was prior to "Let's Dance" where SRV did play in the studio, but refused to tour because they wouldn't pay up (rumored $1,000,000). He did not perform or record with Bowie until "Let's Dance".

Earl Slick (the guitarist in this video) replaced him. I saw the "Let's Dance" tour and Slick was not SRV, but was good enough.

That's a rare one. Thanks.

Great find, subby!!
Is this from a video/DVD?
Sounds like Bowie was still in great vocal shape - good to hear.
The guitarist couldn't hold a candle to Adrian Belew, though :-P

I remember having a tape when i was a kid of "Dire Straits Alchemy" taped from Much Music, on TV, from the late 80's, 87/88 i guess. It had a commercial for Bowie's Serious Moonlight tour. I think it was either a commercial for the tour itself, or just that Much Music was going to show the a concert from it later in the week, or something. [hell, it might've even been this concert, from which this clip is from.... i dunno, we didn't tape it, i didn't watch it. [at the end of the commercial, it said it was sponsored by Labatt's...lol].

Station to Station is one of my favorite Bowie songs.

I saw him in concert a few years back and was not disappointed. Great stuff!

Did he get his panda back?

Ahhh thanks Subby, not my favorite Bowie era, but I needed that!

Any Pie Left: Did he get his panda back?

Make way for the homo superior!

The way I always heard it (just to add another unconfirmed anecdote to the mix) was that SRV would only do the "Let's Dance" tour if Bowie let him bring his own band along and be the opening act. Bowie said "no" and SRV said "see ya".

I haven't checked into a tour, recently.


/Gene Loves Jezebel tomorrow night!!!!!

Bowie Sucks?

Meh... I'll take Japan-era David Sylvian.

Serous Moonlight was the tour to support Let's Dance. True Station to Station was from an earlier album , Station to Station released 1976, but the video in the link is from the Serious Moonlight tour.

I hope this clears up all confusion and you two can now make up and spoon.

Best version of Station to Station can be found here Link (new window)

Needs an eyepatch.

Wear the funky funky eyepatch, David.

With the late Tony Thompson on drums.

/Caught this tour at Foxboro.
//Help me I'm old.

I see your Station to Station, and raise you David Bowie performing TVC15 on SNL with Klaus Nomi.

Station To Station is one of Bowie's finest works, but this tour was just about the point where he jumped the shark so an earlier (or later, after he jumped back over the shark the other way) performance would be appreciated kthx.

I was actually referencing the Duke cliche, I love Bowie.

I would do David Bowie in a second. I don't care how old he is.
