David Bowie's "Heroes" - track by track
I was reading another thread that mentioned Bowie and Robert Fripp and couldn’t resist rewatching this, which I’d first seen several years ago. Given that you’re here on the ABF, I can guarantee it’ll be one of the most informative and entertaining videos you’ve ever seen…

Nice! Bowie is my favorite artist ever. What a genius.
Great video!
There are a lot of goodies out there in the cyberspace!
Good one
Iirc some more clips about Visconti‘s Berlin productions with Bowie exist, where he goes into single track details.
Great examples of what to achieve even with limited tech if you follow an idea
If anyone hasn’t seen it The Last Five Years is a great documentary. Haven’t seen Moonage Daydream yet but heard great things. My personal favorite Bowie albums are Scary Monsters, Blackstar, and Low but everything from TMWSTW - Let’s Dance is top tier. 1.Outside is very underrated as well.
That’s crazy. I’m just listening to the Peter Gabriel version of that track when I came across this thread.
Love all Bowie’s songs but ‘Space Oddity’ for me is one of the best SF experiences I had. 🚀🛰️🎆
Edit: removed ‘GL’ remark, it’s not in the spirit of the thread.
Great share, thanks.
(I love that the BBC video player volume goes up to 11.)
“Tony Visconti, doing more than people think on this record.”
What a brilliant video! We definitely need a whole series of Bowie in the studio anims now.
That was indeed a great documentary! Ah, Blackstar, what a track and what a video, and all the more poignant when you consider that he knew he had cancer while making it but virtually no one else did. Outside is a great album too, underrated as you say. Teenage me loved all the Spiders from Mars stuff the most, but in recent years I've really come to appreciate Young Americans. It's just one of those albums that exudes joy, you just have a sense that Bowie is such a fucking baller and having the time of his life. Can't really think of any other major mainstream artist who could do so many styles of music with such flair. Utter genius.
If you haven’t listened to the 500 Songs podcast, you really owe it to yourself to dive in. It’s an incredibly rich and detailed accounting of the history of rock music. In this episode, for example, you’ll learn how Tony Visconti came to be so important to the British rock scene in the 1960’s.

I've listened to quite a few of those, but I missed that one. Thanks, I'll take a listen at the next opportunity. I learned a ton of stuff listening to this podcast, it's very thoroughly researched.
Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed it. While I know this to be the case in theory, it's still surprising how raw the individual tracks sound. Also interesting to hear Visconti say they deliberately imprinted effects on the master so that they couldn't take them out later!
Couldn’t agree more. When I was younger the glam stuff was my go to for Bowie but now I find myself going back to Young Americans - Scary Monsters the most. I do still love Hunky Dory though.
Yes, Moonage Daydream is a must see for a Bowie fan.
So great to watch him evolve musically, emotionally, spiritually etc.
Few artists changed so much yet remained so popular with both critics and fans.
My first ever memory of one of his songs was ‘Laughing Gnome’, soon after I was mesmerized by seeing the Space Oddity video, put him on a pedestal for his glam material, then was dancing to ‘Sound and Vision’, then soon to be dumbstruck at the material he produced on ‘Scary Monsters’. I really thought he was a spent force in the 80s, but by the mid-90s he was at it again, and I was a fan all over again.
Sorry for the ramble, but what a career he had!
Is it available anywhere to watch now streaming wise? I’m sad I missed the theatrical run.
Agreed. I even love Let’s Dance. But yes from the mid 90s up until his death, he kept pumping out some amazing records. 1.Outside, Heathens, Reality, Blackstar, etc. All fantastic. Hours is the only one I don’t care for during that run.
HBO Max I think is where I got it.
Sound and Vision, what a track!
Definitely one of the biggest impacts of Eno’s presence. In fact that whole album has Eno written all over it.
‘Space Oddity’ is one of the best Bovie songs for me, but my most listened one as a teenager was ‘Rebel Rebel’. Agree on ‘Scary Monsters’ but at least ‘Ashes to Ashes’ saved the deal.
Hell of a career, all the way to the end. His support for Arcade Fire was fantastic.
Thank you 🙏 guess I need to renew my sub there. I need to catch up on some things on Max anyway.
It’s one of the few tracks that genuinely changed my life. I heard it for the first time when I was 12-13ish and was familiar with his hits thriufh my grandma (and LOVED Labyrinth as a child) but when I heard that song of my own volition it just made me fall more deeply in love with music than I’ve ever been. Also made me discover Gary Numan which kickstarted my love for synthesis in general. Which then led to Joy Division, XTC, etc. Now those are some of my all time favorites.
It’s hard for me to undersell how much Bowie has impacted my life. Becoming a fanboy here, but wow what a guy man.
