About David Bowie:
David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

Took me several listens for this album to "click", especially for it being longer than his other ones, but when I put all the pieces together I was totally blown away. Such a chaotic, haunting and impenetrable piece of art.
That‘s exactly how it was for me. I knew it since years and then I suddenly really loved the album.
Exactly the same experience for me. The best example of great art created via oblique strategies.
I’m going through Bowie’s entire discography this month for the first time, and I was dreading this album just because of its length and knowing how much Eno and Bowie experimented on it. But I only love it more with each listen. Easily his most underrated.
@@JorgeTorres-tl7vo I’ve found that it’s always the albums that challenge you on multiple levels that end up being the most rewarding as they slowly unlock and reveal their secrets.
Alternatively, think of it another way: much like a TV show (for instance, let’s take “LOST” or “TWIN PEAKS” as 2 perfect examples) some love it, some hate it. Some loved their endings, some hated them. But what do they both have in common? They’re STILL being talked about and dissected even now all these years later. Same for albums such as “1. Outside”, or “Low”, or “Blackstar” as well as many other artists - the rewards come from relinquishing expectation and allowing the artist to take you on a journey. You may not like the journey the first time around, but repeat visits can reap rewards when you realise you can navigate your way around. It’s a bit like finding all the cool little places off the beaten track away from all the tourists! 🙃

Loved this album since the first listen. It's devestatingly underrated.
I take virtual piano lessons from Mike Garson and, unprompted, he told me how proud he is of Outside. He feels it is underrated. And he is right.
Dude that's so cool! Also yes his work on this album is magnificent - he was great on Aladdin but he _really_ shines here.
OMG, the piano lessons from Mike Garson, it's incredible, it's my dream 😊 I love this album, I remember when I heard this one for the first time, it was so...enthralling.
How do you take piano lessons? I You’s to play the piano 😢❤
Totally.
I saw the Outside Tour (NIN was the opener) in Pittsburgh, on my 40th birthday. Out of the hundreds of shows I’ve been to in my lifetime, this one has meant the most to me. And I started going to shows in ‘68. I won the tickets too. It was in the stars...it was a life changing experience. ❤️
This type of material used to appear on television, on MTV, VH1 or Much Music. Incredible, now we have shit. Keep uploading material like this!
David Lynchs Lost Highway introduced me to a mesmerizing little number called I am derranged. From there on I introduced myself to 1. Outside and Bowie and Music in general. Hunky Dory might be his most uplifting, but it‘s this album that combines Bowies brilliance of telling a story without actually telling one at its best.
And for me it‘s not Strangers When We meet but The Motel that brings among all this bleakness a kind of upliftinh, a sibling to Life on Mars in structure and topic, something I can come back to when life really feels like one big old hell.
David Robert Jones may be gone but thanks alone to this gem of a song and a album David Bowie lives on.
P.S. Still waiting for more of that 23 hours material:)
I'm not sure that I'd describe quicksand as uplifting nor all the nietzsche superman references throughout hunky dory but I take your point. I'd argue very strongly that let's dance is his most "uplifting" album. I agree that the story telling is good on this album (basically you mean it's a concept album) personally though I reckon he achieved this on diamond dogs to a level nobody had ever surpassed let alone Bowie himself. It's a good album. It was a return to form and pleasant surprise when I bought it after sticking with him despite a lengthy spell of bad form. It's Bowie. You can forgive all the rubbish in the late eighties early nineties as his other work more than makes up for it. When I first played this album (on tape cassette the day it came out) I breathed a sigh of relief and said "thank god for that. He's back"
Of course is Quicksand not the best example of uplifting, but for my taste it‘s wonderfully balanced between Kooks and the Fill your Heart Cover. As for the Nietzschean references are they appearing still way more optimistic than on Metrobilist especially if you‘re compare After All and Oh You Pretty Things.
At first I would have given Let‘s Dance with its extremely catchy A Side a go as well, but while Without You already only makes me smile for being the song for which Bowie imitated a train, the B-Side turns almost completly turns into pretty standard stuff of its time. Hunky Dory on the other hand closes there with Bowies first great glimpse of Glam Queen Bitch and the sentimental Mix of a bedtime and ghost story that is Bewley Brothers.
As for Diamond Dogs I could have almost agree if I wouldn‘t be such a mixbag of the canceld 1984 and Ziggy musicals combined with the planned DD film. It kinda works as the concept of all of the songs could still play out in the world of Hunger City but it always feels like some links are missing. After all I know about the DD tour itselfs Bowies planned concept was more fullfild back then. A shame that footage is still so rare.:(
The stuff about the rest I would definitely agree. Except of some rare cases and the all in all decent Budha Album this is (to quote the critics) definitely Bowies best album since Scary Monsters.:)
A great day to you, followed by some gnomes or not.;)
@@FYTSMILE I love hunky dory too. I've never met a Bowie fan that loves diamond dogs as much as I do so maybe there's something wrong with me. I actually also love young Americans. For clarity, I don't love let's dance.
Outside is truly a mesmerising disturbing dystopian album. It had the sinister edge that I love. I miss Bowie. 😪 RIP Starman.
Let's put this out on vinyl again please. Thank you.
The " Outside" album still sounds fresh! David is still with us. 💝 Love your creativity , Mr. Bowie.
This is my favourite Bowie album, it was a missed opportunity to not include The Leon Suites in the 2021 box set.
I suspect we may see those as a stand alone set in the next couple of years. ❤
Always adored this album from the very first listen. Sublime.
Never seen this before! Outside came out at the peak of my early Bowie fandom, and I saw the first two nights of the tour, too. What a great little film this is - thanks for making it available again.
So lucky to have seen this tour. I was only just 18 and living in Australia. So, I desperately wanted to see this tour but bootlegs were as close as I got at the time.
THE MUSIC IS OUTSIDE
IT'S HAPPENING OUTSIDE
THE MUSIC IS OUTSIDE
THE MUSIC IS OUTSIDE 😎🖤
Thank you very much🙏 This is priceless ❤
one of a kind 🖤
His comment at 12:55 about the realization of life being finite and him admitting he was at ease with it hit me like a brick...
Interesting to hear a rehearsal recording of Bowie and band covering Nine Inch Nails' Hurt at 17:05 (just after they spell Basquiat's name wrong). Since this was before the tour with NIN, this must be an officially unreleased version which doesn't feature Trent.
It has to be 17:05 that's Trent Reznor's birthday
Gracias por existir
Fabulous awesome underated album by beautiful outstanding iconic One and only David Bowie I'll always miss him so much ....
1.Outside is one of the most amazing albums and one of my favourites.
I would very much like to have a copy of the vinyl, which has not yet been reissued, and therefore has exorbitant prices on the market. Unfortunately my pockets cannot afford it ...
Agree with all of this 100%
Fantastic.
Me fascinan todos los personajes de Outside.
please release Outside vinyls so my life can be complete
I could look at this beautiful human all day. Will forever miss him ❤
David Lynch's LOST HIGHWAY introduced me to this amazing album
Heart Filthy Lessons is my favorite
❤️ I love David thank you
Very under appreciated album. 😊
I had never listened Outside, but surely i will added it to my Bowie’s collectipn.
C'est l'album que je préfère 🖤
Se vienen los videos de la era Outside
Every version of Strangers When We Meet would be THE BEST!!! ALSO: How about releasing SOME of that FANTASTIC VIDEO FOOTAGE you have!!!!
Wow! What a good insight to such a heavy, obscure body of work!
Very thoughtful beautifully well mannered man, fantastic intelligence...I miss you Starman!❤
this man is something that the world will not see again for awhile
HALLO SPACEBOY😁
❤
OUTSIDE is my artistic Northstar and is so, so important to me as a piece of work. Thank you for providing this valuable insight into the process that I only look on in wonder when I was young. Love and miss David.
Best Bowie album
He's so beautiful, laying in bed (the same bed he used in Lazarus?), yet then kills my yum by waving around a cigarette. If only... He might not have died so relatively young from cancer. Anyway, then I'm paying more attention to his words, which is the point. David surrounded himself with excellent producers.
Perfect
Favorite Bowie album. Was that pillow not working out for David? Why does he need his wrist for support?
I don't understand what it says because I speak Italian, but it's too beautiful and sensual 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
բոժե մոյ, սա ինչ հիասքանչ վիդեո ա
I am with name
[ 01:01 ] *grist* for the *mill*
experiment without caring about the opinion of the other thousand ways of being different eternal chameleonic
Nemám ráda lidi, co napodobují Bowieho...on to cítí, vy napodobujete jeho výraz....
It’s thread theory
1. Outside is my favourite album. I was mesmerized by its sound and narrative. It made a true believer in David's genius! I love how smart and provocative it is. This album was above everything and everybody I was listening to. A masterpiece!
The smartest, most kind and beautiful human being that I have ever met (1990 Chile 🇨🇱)
Verissimo 😘🤞💫👍💔😭💫❤❤❤❤⚡⚡🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌈🌈🌈🌞🌝il GENIO 🌍🪐
Viva Bowie mierdaaa
How did u meet him ?
Love the fact that they're still keeping this channel alive.
Unfortunately I really got into Bowie's music during quarantine and missed him while he was still alive. But the fact they're still showing us more videos and behind the scenes makes me feel very content to have found his music even now.
it makes me feel like he's still alive 🥺
Me to.
The music will live forever. I got into Bowie in the late 80s after his "classic period" was over. I feel like he's still around floating in the ether. I got to see him live a few times including his final tour. The ongoing releases and reissues are doing a great job of keeping the legacy alive.
It's never too late to get into Bowie!
@@ancix02 He is! 🤗
Creative, playful, daring, innovating. This was David at his very best on so many levels (so was the tour!). He didn't care what the critics thought, he was making the music he wanted to make, and it was so exciting. Nothing has beaten the thrill of when this came out. It has inspired me ever since.
One of those albums that you have to always listen to in their entirety.
Outside is my favourite Bowie album. Can't wait for them to upload the video for Strangers When We Meet. It's my favourite song of all time, and we haven't had a good quality upload of the video on TH-cam for years.
That and "Hearts Filthy Lesson" -- been waiting on a proper copy of that for YEARS!
This album has aged incredibly well and it really is rather special. This was also one of the greatest concert experiences of my life. There are no words to describe how amazing the 30 minutes that Bowie and NIN played together were.
I got do see them play together too! Beyond words 🖤
@@kristandagley7089 my show was Toronto, before Outside was even out, which was weird but very cool as well. Where was your show?
@@EYErobot They were both in 95, one in Hartford, Connecticut, and then Mansfield Massachusetts...The others times were seeing them in their own shows separately.
@@kristandagley7089 very nice indeed and lucky to see that show twice. I caught Bowie on the Earthling tour as well. Incredible.
@@EYErobot We both have been very lucky. He was an amazing sweet man. So many will never get the chance that we did, and I hold it so close to my heart.
Love how the video starts like we are just chatting near/on Bowie's bed. lol
Tremendous!
Me: is trying to listen to and appreciate his intellect and eloquence
My brain: _we're sitting on Bowie's bed 😳😏_
sigh
best album to feel atmosphere of millenium
My thoughts exactly.
It’s not a David Bowie video if it’s not zooming into his face
As it's one of the best faces to ever grace a screen...
I liked Bowie since the 80's but I was too young to really appreciate his music until Outside hit me in the mid 90's, like a ton of bricks, and became part of my identity. It was like nothing I'd ever heard before. I've been completely in love with his music from all eras ever since. ♥
Outside is one of the best albums.
It's really not
It is probably one of my favourites of his now.
I bought it the day it came out and I liked it and still like it. However it really is not and never will be in the same league as Low or Diamond Dogs or Hunky Dory or Young Americans or rise and fall of Ziggy stardust or man who saved the world I could go on. It's probably not even in his top 10 best albums. I can't really conceive of a compelling argument to make the case of outside being in his top 10 best albums.
@@jleavett I agree with you, but then I like many of his later albums more than Outside.
@@ivankaramasov I'm not saying it's bad and I agree with you Black Star is better than outside too. It's a good album. He has worse albums. I love Bowie and it's quite harsh judging any album by the standards of his 70s masterpieces. Just saying if you think outside is Bowie's best work you really need to listen to more Bowie albums.
he is absolutely mesmerizing
Probably my favourite Bowie album… the strange storytelling and weird characters always fascinated me. And then there’s the amazing music…
I have several thoughts, some of which are impure so I'll focus on the intellectual ones. 🤣
Every time I start to think maybe I overstate David Bowie's intelligence, that I tend to fawn a bit much, I will come across an interview I haven't seen, or haven't seen in a while, and remember again why I laud his intellect so highly. It's not just Thru' These Bowiefans Eyes that he is unusually thoughtful and eloquent. Most people will have maybe 1 or 2 pithy revelations per every other interview, but Bowie usually managed to pack several in each one. I love how he doesn't give easy or flippant answers to even simple questions, but rather genuinely devotes thought to his responses - you can see it in his eyes as he searches for words, and speaks with almost the deliberation of writing. I relate to that as someone who thinks probably too much for my own good about even apparently simple things that most take at face value, and is wont to go off on quasi-philosophical tangents during normal conversation, thereby mildly weirding people out 😆 I wonder what he was like at the dinner table?😄
I remember when this was first aired in 1995. I was so mesmerised by it that I still remember all he said to this day.
The best album in the world of music. Thanks David and Brian Eno
I never got the story of the Outside album with all the characters but I was lucky enough to see the Tour at Wembley, absolute respect to Bowie who did what he wanted for that gig! A lot of people went expecting to hear his biggest hits & he was like NO! I will give you a concert to remember instead!
I saw that tour with NIN opening. It was the least favorite of his shows I saw. He was halfway through Man who sold the world before I recognized the song. I thought he was following trends in music rather than being the original. Just my opinion. The Outside album has grown on me recently, but it stayed on the shelf for many years.
@@catsofsherman1316 I love Bowie with the light of a thousand suns, but I agree with you here. Instead of new and innovating music, he seemed to be jumping on the drum and bass trend which had been going on for some time already. Even more evident on Earthling. I'm glad he found his way back with The Next Day and especially Blackstar ★
@@catsofsherman1316 Nin didn't support him in the UK, he had Morrissey instead who was OK but played way too long in his set!
@@bengejuknowit3048 unfortunately many people left when NIN finished and didn't stay for Bowie. It was a sad sight.
This was my first Bowie album I listened to, actually my introduction to Bowie, and it still remains my favorite. Absolute masterpiece and one of the best pieces of conceptual music ever recorded.
Me too
Rough place to start
A fascinating insight into David's mind and thoughts during the making of this album.
Have always loved Hallo Spaceboy and felt it was somewhat underrated.
En hastalık lı bowie albümü. Muhteşem. 🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
I love him so much such a amazing soulful person who cares so much and it shows.🖤🖤🖤
Lo amerò per sempre ⚡⚡🌟🌟🌟🌟😢💘💖💖💖💔🖤💫💫💫💫💫💫
Me too totally agree love Bowie forever
Mr Starman untouchable and unforgettable and unbelievable and unbreakable
Still my most favourite Bowie’s album
Have you heard any version of The Leon Suites? They're about 90 minutes of excerpts from the improv jam sessions that eventually led to 1.OUTSIDE. It's quite an insight and is much closer to the original concept. If you appreciate the chaotic avant garde painterly experimental angle, it's extremely interesting -- and it's like bonus content for 1.OUTSIDE.
Apparently (though Bowie was well-known to twist the truth for image purposes, so who really knows what happened) the label turned it down as unmarketable and Bowie caved and polished it up quite a lot but stuck with the "let's not clean it up" narrative. If you look at the credits for each song on 1.OUTSIDE, you can see by the people involved which tracks actually came from the original sessions (credited to Bowie, Eno, Gabrels, Garson, Kızılçay, and Campbell) and which were added in later (the majority of tracks).
Supposedly there were many hours more that were recorded in the improv sessions and Bowie repeatedly stated he planned to go back through them to pull out more bits for a follow-up called 2.CONTAMINATION but he never finished doing so (which suggests to me that all the best bits were already used and what remains unheard wasn't really worth working on).
@@Gnophkehs I remember he said that he intended to make a sequel to this album sadly he didn't.... I wonder whatever happen next to Nathan Adler...
Loved this album from day 1. Always a bit sad he didn’t follow it up, but then why would he ever be predictable
Look up the Leon Tapes and you will find a much darker version of this album before his label told him to make it more of a marketable album.
Bowie as vlogger.
One of the all-time great Bowie albums. What a wonderful era for him.
Bowie’s most understated era. He really came into a mature execution of his style on these years, not allowing for commercial success to be a motivator
My absolute favorite Bowie Album. Masterpiece
Outside = Genius Bowie Album⚡️
would be nice to hear what Brian Eno has to say about outside
Apparently they disagreed on the production. Eno thought it became too dense.
Absolutely genius!
I will always love him
The First Time i saw the „Hearths Filthy Lesson“ Video it scares me. This was so different from all other Vids at thisTime. But it was also fascinating - and pure Art. „Hearts filthy Lesson“ is still ohne of my favourites Bowie Songs…..and a all Time favourite so far. I miss ihm so Bad…..
My favourite album along with Diamond Dogs. Thank You so much!
he's so intelligent,the best artist I have had in my era n beautiful music. an he's so f×××ing handsome. unique, n the most beautiful person with a beautiful soul....
So beautiful ⭐⚡⚡⚡❤bye bye love 💫💫
Such phenomenal footage, and so well put together! He's so easy to listen to during interviews, and in general. You feel like he's directly talking to you...just hanging out with a friend🖤.... I hope you post the unedited version of The Heart's Filthy Lesson. It's so beautiful.
"Kisses David Bowie"..
I was stunned when I first heard this album. Not what I was expecting, but I immediately liked it. One of my favourite Bowie albums.
Outside is the best work he did, followed up with Earthling and Hours. Such a concept and glad he worked with Brian Eno lending the electronic leanings
Wow. Ok. Better than his 70s work. Hmmm.
@@jleavett Yes. Yes it is.
Well it's all subjective and down to opinion. I'd like to agree with you but then we would both be wrong.
I got my first tattoo while listening to the Outside album, and while this interview is from a few years back, it's still something I can reflect on, when making my own art...
🖤🦇
David I love You always ❤️❤️❤️
I've literally watched hundreds of hours of DB on youtube and if I'm not mistaken he threw in a Bill Murray Caddyshack reference at the very end of this clip. I absolutely could not believe it. The guy is just the coolest cat that ever was. Nothing gets by him.
He was a spunge for information wasn't he?
❤️ Him.... “GENIUS!”
Really proud to say that my friend Ron (Athey) was the initial spark of inspiration for this album’s concept. I even get an (unintentional!) name-check in “The Heart’s Filthy Lesson” which made me laugh and makes the album even more special. I just wish that he and Eno had held to their original vision and completed their planned triptych of concept albums. Sadly they never materialised, but what a trip this album is!
As a token of his gratitude, David invited Ron to his 50th birthday party which I thought was sweet.
I’m glad I was alive during the same time as Bowie and Prince and got to see them more times than I can count over the years in venues both large and intimate. We were spoiled rotten weren’t we? What gifts we were both given and left with.
Love to all you fellow Bowie (and Prince!) fans.
He is alive 🤯
Outside is the best of all the popular musics
Who are the five idiots that didn’t like this video?
🌟Hi!! What impressive sharing!! David Bowie - man legend!🌠
put all his incredible albums together and this is probably his masterpiece
Master piece. Incredible work x
Definitely one of my top 3 favorite albums of his
I miss you David Bowie! There will never be another like you!
One of my favorite Bowie Album.
