- Here is a new 30-minute version of the interview with David Bowie, at the Hotel de L’Europe in Amsterdam, on the 14th of October 1977.
_
After recording and mixing the “Heroes” material in July and August 1977, Bowie went on a 2-month promotional tour around Europe. He recorded performances and interviews for TV shows, shot the “Heroes” video and TV Ads, and he met with the press. It was unprecedented for Bowie to do so much promotion, especially since earlier in ‘77, he’d done virtually none for the Low album. The tour started in the UK on September 7th, recording the Marc Bolan TV show.
The final leg of the tour began in Hilversum, Holland on October 13th, with a Gold Disc presentation and a performance of “Heroes” for the TV show TopPop (David Bowie • AVRO TopPop • October 13th 1977 vimeo.com/291475113).
The following day, Bowie gave interviews for the Dutch press in Amsterdam. Of all the filmed material from the tour, it is this almost uninterrupted 30-minute interview that gives us the most comprehensive view of the “Heroes” era Bowie. And in fact, it is one of the most substantial filmed Bowie interviews from the ‘70’s.
“This is the first time I’ve done this kind of interview for an album. And I must be quite honest; the reason I’m doing it is because I want to give the album every chance that it can get.”
Elly de Waard, another interviewer on the day, wrote in 1977 (trans. from Dutch):
“David Bowie is sitting on a couch in a suite of Hotel de L’Europe in Amsterdam… (He) is dressed in a pale yellow T-shirt with a Chinese character on the chest, ("It's Hong Kong Chinese," he says at a question from me), khaki tapered trousers… and natural leather boots.
It's '77, so needless to say, Bowie looks great. The T-shirt he's wearing, supposedly "borrowed" from John Lennon, has the character 武 (Pron. "Wu", meaning martial, fierce, valiant). And his footwear is a pair of dark green wooden clogs.
Bowie’s mind is moving fast in the interview. So fast, that he’s sometimes trying to second-guess the questions, and answer them without perhaps having fully understood them. When he talks about the inspiration for the “Heroes” lyrics (we know now) he’s telling an elaborate fiction. He doesn't seem too happy to be reminded of some of his “half-baked” (Bowie’s own term) philosophies and statements from the past. And he is at times perhaps unnecessarily combatant with the two interviewers. During the interview, Bowie is drinking his favorite L.A. days white fluid, and he quite frequently takes sharp sniffs. So it would not be unreasonable to surmise that he’d had a relapse, and was back on the white powder too. However, Elly de Waard provides us with the likely reason for the aforementioned behavior. Again, from her ’77 article:
“(Bowie) has a fever because he had a typhoid injection the day before...
Because he has a fever, he speaks very quickly and almost constantly… Bowie says his head is like a rubber ball that shrinks and expands with the room and makes him feel like he's just smoked very strong hashish. "Give me another one!" He calls almost comically to an imaginary person behind his back.
However, he just smokes the Gitanes, which have been part of his image for several years, and he borrows my lighter because his own was pocketed by the previous visitor. Finally, he will keep mine and I gladly grant him that; I consider it a minor remedy for the beautifully embroidered futuristic jacket that I took from him at a meeting in February 1974.”
Elly de Waard famously knicked Bowie’s Freddie Burretti jacket at the 1974 Amsterdam press conference because, she said, she was angered that he wouldn’t grant her an interview. Later, she titled her memoir, Het Jasje van David Bowie (“David Bowie’s Jacket”).
After the press conference that day, Bowie left for Paris and continued his promotional duties there and then in London. On October the 21st he flew to Kenya with his son Zowie (Duncan). He talks of the Kenya trip in his interview with Flo and Eddie in New York a few weeks later.
There is one photo of Bowie in Kenya. He’s with two Masai tribe people, and he is wearing the same green clogs he wore in the Amsterdam interview. He is also wearing them in the June '77 Hong Kong shot with John Lennon, in which Lennon is wearing the 武 T-shirt.

He always manages to give creative and smart answers, to even the stupidest question
they certainly are stupid questions!
to continue this thought, aside from the question around 19 mins in 'are you being lived' the questions were very conservative, but DB is giving them gold, revealing so much about his approach to his early characters and his approach to his art. maybe the interviewers were somewhat overawed, but my lord he was opening up on everything ant then they ask another dumb, stock question rather than picking up on all the areas I'd have loved to explore. Sigh. What a fantastic interview, but my lord what we may have known if there'd been more engagement and insight from the interviewers.
After this " HEROES AND CELEBRITIES " the f**king album should have been named !
@@DavidM4164BF the only fact of craving and competing to be an interviewer guarantees shallowness to be expected.
"do you consider yourself British Hitler?"
Bowie "wtf?".
Lol
Mosley rolls in his grave.
He was terribly shy...Actually, I really think the only reason he ever did drugs was to break through his shyness to be able to perform. He was brilliant, and so creative and he needed to find a way around his shyness... You can see how he battles with fame by always making it about the work. Such a great human being that I wish could be here forever!
@@stephenrafter1022 nah, he just had a light cold, gets chilly in Amsterdam in October...
I think a lot of performers are shy.

He wasn't shy at all
@@whitebirchtarotyes, but only offstage
Intelligent, articulate, amusing and handsome
What a combination
@James Henderson Wtf does that have to do with being intelligent
@James Henderson Neither did David
@James Henderson Well you seem pretty obsessed with it to hate it so much
@Hernán Chadtés then why are you watching him
He is so beautiful
❤💛💙💚❤
True, ❤️
@@laurih.t.8723 thx ... was the De-Facto David, in Canada.... same
Beautiful spirit! 🥰

Bowie - 'The best leader you can have is the one that looks back at you in the mirror'
The way he describes the inspiration for the song "Heroes" is absolutely incredible. He was able to view the human experience as if from a remove, but with such an amazing sense of empathy.
@@geordiebr1 the Stories differ because getting asked the same stupid questions over n over you sometimes invent something otherwise it would be boring..David was a master of irony. People hardly noticed.
@@geordiebr1 which one? Isn't it something stupid?
@@geordiebr1 😂😂
Since this was filmed so near in time to the recording session, the Heroes song inspiration was somewhat generalized. If you find subsequent, more recent interviews you'll find it was inspired by producer Visconti having a secret romantic affair and sneaking a kiss with her, viewed by Bowie from a window view.
He is a
Star man
There is such a harmony in his voice and speech that if he read even an accounting book, it would probably sound like he was reading a poem.
Haha, I misread "porn" for "poem"
Aynen çok çekici
Ho pensato la stessa cosa. Chissà se David ha prestato la sua voce per leggere qualche libro. Lo ascolterei sempre

How many TH-cam videos must there be? I see you posting this comment everywhere. Surely we cannot have all the same interests?
Man....I know this is breaking news, but he was SO stylish and aesthetically interesting.
Just always so compelling to simply look at.
Always several steps ahead of everyone else....in music, visuals, fashion....
He's too clever for interviews. Razor sharp genius mind! ❤
His life ended too soon; what an innovative, intelligent, human being who cared and shall I say dared to show kindness to us all.
He's simply beautiful. How I miss him. 💔💔
this is one of my favourite interviews of his for so many reasons - not particularly the questions but his answers about his public perception + concept of celebrity as hero, about the evolution of music towards punk, the fact that he was cleaning himself up during this era, and also that he's super gorgeous here
Gorgeous I agree !
I feel like he was a creature from another world... so talented
He's so smart and always kept cool and ofc he's very beautiful
So many dumb questions.
This is an intelligent artist as well as a special and beautiful human being.
David Bowie is absolutely perfect! I love him❤😍
Bowie was a highly intelligent man as you can clearly tell from this interview. A voracious reader. Anyone know what it says on his shirt in Japanese? I still find it hard to believe Bowie is gone. Makes me sad :( RIP David
Jersey John Chinese character “wu”, meaning martial or fierce
Very cool guy
He' s not gone,he lives on Mars❤
His intelligence is beyond most journalists and interviewers, as they ask questions mostly the general public would want to know. I wish he'd had more opportunities to express his POV via more likeminded individuals/interviewers. There's only a few very good interviews.
This one is an alright one. Thank you so much, Nacho. X

What were the qualifications of these interviewers. There's more than one in this segment
@@opheliacarlson1100 thank you for attaching this intelligent interview.
I still enjoy the impish energy that’s spurning him on here even if the questions are stupid.
🎉
Given the banality of the questions it amazes me that this interview is so interesting throughout.
He is seriously captivating
The Interview is so horrible. How did He manage it ( Milk and Cigarettes ).
I know. All I can think of every time he takes a puff of his cigarette is, “stop smoking! You’re going to get lung cancer!“ How could he have endangered that beautiful voice with cigarettes? I will always miss him. 💕
27:17 that's probably the best thing he's said in this entire interview
YES 🙌🏽🤧✊🏽✨🤍☺️
He was absolutely right
It gets beyond annoying how the interviewers kept pushing the Hero (influence) question and David was simply over it lmao they could have done so much better. Thankfully David still made it interesting and delivered intellectual answers, as he had always
I love his smile ❤️
WHEN I LISTEN TO DAVIDS INTERVIEWS IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKe Hes still here. His smile was infectious ,and his personality was adorable. I really love his singing. Miss him so much!
He was great. We'll see him again when the Lord returns.
Christ, he really was a genius.
The most charming and impressive person I’ve ever seen on TH-cam , watching him makes me so happy 😀
This period is when Bowie was at his coolest....
Wasnt he always the coolest?
@@elenol1310 Yes but a this time he was at an age where he was still young but had achieved so much and of course looked great.The older Bowie was of course cool but I just like Bowie at this stage best of all.
@@michaelodowd4807 True enough sir/miss;)
bowie's facial expressions conveyed unspoken narratives from beyond
the region where words fall off the edge....

This guy REALLY was stuck on the idea of Hero!!! David was so gracious to put up with this frustration. Miss him too❤
13:40 and then the phone rings!
normally an artist go silence and look stupid, waiting for the crew to pick up a phone. But this man, David Bowie, so fresh and out of the box 🤗 wow!! The King in the room!! Best interviewd artist period!!
love his answers so thoughtful
Annoying tho.
@@susannabonke8552 why annoying?
Curteous, well-spoken, open-minded, humorous, a true gent.
Hard to believe this interview as 44 years ago 1977 he looked great in this interview he was so intellectual and deep a lot of people didn’t “get” him.
David was so humble I just cannot get over his intellect he was so “deep“. Very careful not to step on anyone else’s toes especially in his industry he was courteous to the interviewers always kept a sense of humor he said he was on his deathbed he was making jokes what a brave man to face his death the way he did an absolute icon! He wasn’t afraid to give his own opinion I admire him for that a straight shooter I’m glad he found love in the end and experienced his daughters life for at least 15 years
He was not 44 years old in 1977, but 30
Bowie always had that pixie/elf look about him.
Talented, forward-thinking, smart & witty as a whip! AND.... he spoke highly of Devo! Love both.
This wonderful man can do no wrong in my eyes ❤️
he did and repented.
he wasn't a hero
@@ThinWhiteAxe why?
@@shraddhagalwade7252 I forgot, I made that comment 2 years ago
@@ThinWhiteAxe thats alright
What stupid questions! What brilliant answers!
The interviewer made Mr. Bowie to actually feel uneasy but he had gracefully shifted the conversation, as he could being so focused. It's kind of amusing watching his face while being questioned. Again many tks. For posting this, watching that polite man and hearing his pleasant voice and wise words is a joy.
I don't think he's shy at all. He seems very comfortable and himself. He is polite, charismatic, friendly and basically a very nice guy.
Very intelligent and verbally strong.
The more and more i look at David he and my youngest son are so alike in looks, the way he sit, stand, talk, intelligent, laughing, smilling everything !! I think it is because David Bowie was and still are the love of my life. 🤗❤
Out of this world million light years before his time and the best bone structure in the business.
He.was,only,THIRTY,And,had,already,achieved,so,much.Never,seen,this,before.
Fantastic quality. I never saw the beginning bits before! 😎
Bowie (like Dylan) incorporated LAYERS of meaning into his work. There were the esthetics, the meaning of the lyrics on the surface, the top layer story, and the hidden personal later. Then the audience hears it and develops their own impressions. True art.
Heroes. 2 words. Romy Haag (he's still wearing her ring here)
Romy Haag's ring. Interesting. Very true about layers.
Who is Romy Haag
@andercoyote4170 One of bowies former girlfriends, as was Dana Gillespie.
14:50 Dave talks about discovering Devo and producing their first album. I knew about the story with Bowie and Devo but it was cool to see him talk about it ahead of time.
Musical study for the week-what an enigma of an artist . This is a gem 💎 thank you
Our Bowie....the man who CAN make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Who needs an interviewer anyway?
What a man what a man what a man what a mighty good man!
13:45 * ring * "Yes, what is it?"
LOL! XD
Beautiful genius 💔

OMG.I miss him everyday.Sharp.So intelligent and the best music I ever heard.Love you DB
I miss him.
Me too Jade Wolf-
Lovely bowie is a perfectionist . Lovely man . Thank u for this.
Just an amazing human being, always articulate and interesting, he stands outside time itself I sometimes think
4:40 LOL hes so adorable I love him
Great answers from David Bowie, at the absolute zenith of his creative powers as an artist. This is reflected in his honest and thoughtful comments on such topics as 'image' (as in his former artistic characters), 'rock stardom' and 'reality'. An intelligent and inspirating human being. Wished he was still with us.
God I miss knowing you are not among us anymore.....
really pivotal interview - watched it 45 years later. Still 100% relevant.
what a beautiful Soul even the egoist capitalist journo can"t fathom the spiritual nature of the man...
I could stand to him for a thousand years.
Nothing touched him in his golden years....
Nacho you are our HERO with your Art of the Edit❤ Close ups and Milk imbibing awesomeness and killer wit. No one but Bowie could graciously handle the painfully linear dissection of his art and form.....So Van Gogh..you seem to really like sunflowers....
Bowie = IRREPLACEABLE GENIUS AND INNOVATOR OF MUSIC THE BEST IMO
I love that he's drinking multiple glasses of milk.
Instead of solid food.
He must’ve been all out of peppers 😂🙃😅
pretty sure he's on cocaine here
it just makes me think of that tiktok audio saying: " i got... enough... *milks* now...."
A spoonful of coke in a glass of water, lovely
When he was doing this I was being a stupid jerk with no understanding. I'm so grateful now to know better & have these wonderful videos.
Fabulous!!
The world is not quite the same without Bowie. I count myself lucky to have seen him live on a few occasions. Now I get to see him on TH-cam. It’s bittersweet, but it’s a lifesaver in the same breath..
very interesting interview, really enjoyed it very much.
I agree with some of the comments, that the interviewer is far too obssessed with the hero concept. David tried to defuse the whole area early on in the interview, yet he continued to flog a dead horse. Regardless, I really liked that he wouldn't indulge his belief in the hero conviction and countered him every time. It's great seeing him give more comprehensive and articulate asnwers regardless and that he covers such wide swaths of ideas.
I love this interview i could watch it over and over again thank you for playing it
Imagine Heroes is written about you😮
my favorite perso iever is david and i love him so much i would do anything for him to come back xx
Wow I stayed at this hotel while in Amsterdam a few years ago! We stayed there for nearly 30 days! Was there for Kings Day!!Had no idea he did this interview until this moment! Fantastic hotel!! What a fantastic young dude!! He was my music hero to this day!
✨💫🌟✨💥💫🌟✨
that hotel iOS amazing me too I always stay there when in AMS.
Thank you for not only sharing this but also for including such a great written description of the context in which it occurred.
Awesome. I really miss Bowie.
He looks just so cool!
Beautiful and intelligent man love him ...and miss him so much always . Stupid questions from stupid interviewer though but Bowie so cool and handles it so well ..
Finally found this interview.
He is Mesmerising
Wonderful video & channel! I only got into to his music about a year ago, it's very nice to watch the history and thoughts behind it.
Fantastic interview. David on top top form.
A Truelly Amazing man
Thank you again Nacho for this gem !
My favourite album( feat.Mr.Fripp!)
Thank you for rare video
What an interesting discussion, very relaxed and insightful. It looks like he's having fun!
He is always next to his fans. It can be in our mind or hearts
David Bowie는 항상 웃을락 말락할 때 그 살짝 웃는 얼굴이 정말 매력적이다.
I haven't seen this in such good quality! Fantastic ❤️
*we are deeevo* 😂 love him
Thanks Nacho for another great video. I often wonder if the couple on the bench ever learned that David had written a song about them.
Of course it was Tony Visconti and Antonia Maas, so they were well aware that the song was about them. Tony learned the moment he got back to the studio, because Bowie was going: "I saw you, ha ha ha! You might be surprised when you hear the lyrics."
@@momasu But that spoils it because it wasn’t some ‘random romance ‘ of everyday people he observed , it was a known influential figure in the music industry.
Thank You very much for rare conversation. Best Regards, mates
Love you so much David Bowie as jaerth
You deserve more subscribers! Love all the work you put into these videos
