David Bowie’s performance of “Stay” on the Dinah Shore in 1975. This rare vid features some crazy dance moves by the Thin White Duke and it’s a great performance. More vids to follow.

wow…found out there was an instrumental version on one of his albums. cool. great.
Dennis Davis lays down the groove extraordinarily well.
Spot on. I recall looking at him in the mid 70s with curiosity. Great, cutting edge music, but a bizarre look. I was dressing just like that by 1983! Pleated wool, gaberdine, linen or cotton slacks. Short hair…we thought he was boffo…This guy was so far ahead of the rest of us. Brilliant artist who never conformed to the trends, but predated them.
Well according to Bowie himself (during the Scary Monsters era) he pretty much dreads this time of his life, and he totally dreads LA. He still says today that it was one of the hardest times he’s ever been through.
I’m not talking about music or creativity btw. This song is fucking great.
Don’t think this was ever shown in the UK baby.
35 years? So where were you when this was on TV? I watched all of his TV appearances in the ’70’s. This is quite nostalgic.
These clips of his years living in America are staggering.The UK most have been starved of this stuff in 74/75.Once again he is light years ahead of the rest,dance,funky music,hair cuts,the baggy strides,the band.Everything!
Bowie fan for 35 years and never seen this!! His dancing during the long intro was brilliant.
Mind you, he took a lot of coke back then.
One of the best pop songs ever written, but with a heaping dose of funk — classic, wonderful Bowie
The Thin White Duke,at his BEST.ffs everytime i hear or see this song being performed i get goose-bumps and the hairs on the back of my neck stand-up….truly amazing song.
Bowie is cool and all, but heck, he STOLE my dance moves. I’m pissed.
There’s no end to what could be learned about Bowie. That’s one thing I learned about him.
Lol hiphopkid2 - you don’t say? Thin White line - I mean Duke…
Yeah ,that was exactly my first impression.so cute & satiric happy.have fun with their serious acts. like the artful dodger,they both are.REMEMBER IAN and spastic plastic d-reams Welcome to the good old style -MAKERS no fakers
so that’s where Ian Curtis got his dance moves from… so cool
