David Bowie NYC Glass Spiders Rehearsal 1987 

Yep! From 1976 to this very tour he was a musical director, which basically means he was running the reharsals

Both Bowie and Alomar were lucky to have met each other back in 1974.

He was the music director for that tour.

And dancers. He was engaged to Elizabeth Hurley. But broke it off. Must say she's a great dancer.

Does anyone have a copy of SHINING STAR VIDEO LIVE IN CONCERT????

@@susankeller164 Melissa Hurley is the name of the dancer.

Carlos is no Peter Frampton but he made some helluva musical contributions to Bowie’s records. Especially (Carlos!!) on rhythm guitar. There was no Hall without the Oates.

RIP Mick Robson You were one of the best!!❤🎶

its the cocain ^^

@@Xemerius7 he kicked coke in the late 70s in Berlin

that's true... and it looks so easy for him to perform... he is adorable in all aspects

His voice is like smooth liquid gold

I was at that show as well.

Agree

This was my only Bowie gig and it had to be this tour... I saw the Sunderland Roker Park show with Big Country in support and it was overblown and cheesy. Frampton was too rockist for this pop & funk fan.

It was an awful Tour !. Overblown & indulgent, supporting an awful album. Bowie's low point !

He's a joy to watch

Richard Cottle

lucky basrard in Bowies band

Because he knows how privileged he is to be making musical history. 👍🏽❤🎶

Ah yes! Richard. He was like that the whole Tour. Nice guy.

Think he gave Iggy Pop that advice. It came in handy.

SeaBassVamp

SeaBassVamp So true. His music is now illuminating the dark matter of the Universe . In about early 2018 Elon launched a tesla into endless space looping Bowie's Starman ; go figure?!!!

@@pauldailey4477 What's this stupid comment supposed to mean anyways?

@@Slinkygal ~ I’ve reported it ~ never let the racists/antisemites win. 🤮

God sucks

Sorry I was late to the party. Glad i missed Pauls comment. I suppose someone had it removed?? Maybe he should go watch the interview where Bowie goes in on MTV for not playing any black artist during the day. Allot of my friends and family also have no clue that’s Luther in Young Americans. Carry on folks. Just picked up Station to Station in Red Vinyl. Nothing short of an amazing record! 2021. Love you man. Thanks for your gift.

Not only Bowie and Prince passed . That TERRIBLE YEAR , all MUSIC lost a bunch of GREAT MUSICIANS like Keith Emerson, Isao Tomita, Greg Lake , Glen Frey. Maurice White , Leon Russel, Billy Paul, George Michael and George Martin among others

Darko Gavrilovic that's a shame

obrigada... maravilhoso... querido... inesquecível.. Bowie.. amado para sempre !!!

the fact that Bowie performed most of NLMD live /probably the most since Diamond Dogs tour ! Always thought album was OK back in the day !

When I saw him in '87 he never did Shining Star.

I've always loved this song too

C Math . what were you writing about that led you to put...I mean..his worst day in... please let me know and others as well..ty.. just curious..

Amen to that Sisters and Brothers 💖

True! Though I loved this album a lot

Well said!!!

@@kimberlyjohnson1371 I think he's just just saying that even if he sounded bad in rehearsal, not saying that he did but even if he did, he sounds better in rehearsal than any other band does in their greatest achievement performance

Today is jan 18 2022 i watched 4 of davids best! With his best band ever!!

+Mick Lans Where is it evident...??

+thetragicyouth Try 'Time Will Crawl' on The Glass Spider Tour DVD & this clip is them playing live.

Sorry, but IMO that album is neglected for a reason. It's without doubt the worst thing Bowie ever did. The album is full of completely forgettable, mediocre rubbish and the live show was little better.

+thetragicyouth Well, there's a couple of songs I like on the album, & I think his vocal performance is generous concidering the weak material. It's mediocre for Bowie, yes. Maybe even Tony Visconti couldn't have elevated it.

+Mick Lans i think its okay.... 80s style production killed it.... its good pop tho, might not be everyones bag but i like slick 80s pop/soul so...

Hanging with him that afternoon and being in that room...unforgettable...amazing day and amazing performer. So tragic he was taken too early

+Matt Day sorry, no...that was for us, and it was an amazing time, let me tell you!

+ronzo111 so u where there with david he changed my whole life growing up and i thank him for that im trying to become a singer maybe u can give me some advice

+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.

Cecila Winn give up already. I tried it and it almost destroyed my marriage, and me.

ronzo111 thank you
