- A great interview with David Bowie, filmed backstage at Earls Court arena on 30 June 1978, literally minutes before he goes on stage. The interview is by English media personality, journalist and broadcaster, Janet Street-Porter CBE, It was shot by London Weekend Television, and included in their David Bowie Special, broadcast the following week.
•
“In June 1978, I was presenting a television show for young people when I got a call from David Bowie's PR to say the living legend had decided I should interview him. He'd watched one of my music documentaries, and was impressed by my lurid dyed burgundy hair - a style he'd sported in The Man Who Fell to Earth.
"I was told to present myself backstage at Earls Court, an hour before his show. We met in his dressing room, where he was completing his preparations. After a preliminary chat about friends in common… with a capacity crowd screaming their heads off, we were filmed walking together right to the point where he stepped out in front of the crowd.
"I had about twenty minutes of his undivided attention, with no retakes. Bowie showed no nerves, just extremely good manners. "Heroes" became my anthem for over a decade.”
- Janet Street Porter, CBE in 2013 & 2016

There has never been a good quality, complete version of this interview online before, and it is something I regularly receive requests for. I have been collecting material from the LWT special for several years, slowly piecing the show back together. Along with other sources, the final goal was to produce my own David Bowie Live at Earls Court 1978 film, to be released on the anniversary of those Earls Court shows. However, another June 30th is upon us, and still my film isn’t finished. So in the meantime, here’s Janet Street-Porter interviewing David Bowie, approximately 8pm, June 30th, 1978.
Hope you dig it!

Flawless bone structure, perfectly imperfect teeth, long lean body, perfectly arched eyebrows, smart haircut, charismatic and charming personality - everything about this version of Bowie is stunningly beautiful! I can't take my eyes off him!
Me neither!
I completely agree
I'm with you
Bowie was beautiful ♥️
He was a handsome bugger for sure
When you finally realise this Interview was actually minutes before appearing on stage you really appreciate what a personable and throughly decent man he was.
Much respect.
You can tell that she's a huge fan of his. She is having such a blast talking to him.
Who wouldnt
I can't definitely tell she's a huge fan.
Who isn't? Who wouldn't?
It wasn't a great interview, really. She got lucky he was charming and patient.
@@canadianroot As usual.
He’s so good-looking here. And not arrogant at all. He’s my hero
I've yet to see a Bowie interview in which he's rude or petulant. He's always engaging, charming, erudite and a pleasure to watch.
always a gentlemen
From what I've heard, he was a very sweet kind Man.
And it definitely shows.
Very true. A rarity in that profession
Miss T.E.A. Yes he was the coolest Rocker ever
@@AlexAlcyone Grace Slick?
THAT CONTOUR
fierce
His contour & highlighting game will forever be cemented in the golden history of glamour
Fucking well said!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😆😆😆😆😆
gawd this 80´s make up on here and talking about contouring lolololololololololoololololololol
I don't understand how a human being could ever look or sound like him, he seems unreal. Incredible.
i met this WONDERFULman in an elevator in 78 i was 17 years old dressed like the cover of station to station. i hitch hiked from the country....when the doors opened and we hoped in...he turned to me and said..you look very smart............beyond nice to a 17 year old kid..he signed my white glove....LOVE ON YA BOWIE 78 i think he was kind to everyone Thank you for posting this video...TEENAGE WILDLIFE....love his vocals on this track
lucky you! I wasnt even born yet
HE SPOKE TO YOU. OH MAN, OMG. WHAT ID GIVE TO HAVE DAVID BOWIE TO SAY THAT TO ME.
@Sol Alsina Amorós so sweet thank you
i did 24 MIXED MEDIUM PIECES on BOWIE which got me into ART SCHOOL . he was such a gentleman
@@jamieangel3766 crazy ''Teenage Wildlife'' he was so nice thank you
Can you imagine being that calm before going on stage ! ?
Coolness personified!
@@darrenremington6422 yayo
Is he ever !!!!@@darrenremington6422
He'd just snorted a line I expect
@@steffanhoffmann8937 ....everyone knows he’d had stopped drugs at this point. He was only drinking.
David looked so cool with make-up on. He's very charming in this interview.
Bowie could charm the pants off a nun lol
@@danw1374 He just may have once Lol.
He’s so fucking PRETTY
This man drips charisma and sex appeal. I was almost blushing there. Lovely interview with Janet and adore his laid back nonchalence seconds before he goes out on stage.
This is the loveliest interview I’ve ever seen.
What a lovely bloke, still hard to accept that hes gone.
god he’s looking so fine in this
in everything really...
Elite Divine Generational Castrati Androgyne Is Why?
I love this interview! I really like her, and he's so sweet and personable with such a great sense of humour.
That's janet street porter. If you are curious
He had a great character and personality
She's a proper cockney geezer.
I met David Bowie in London in 1977 when he looked just like this in relaxed everyday clothing. I was 15 and sitting on the garden wall of a neighbours house he was visiting - he chose to speak to me and could not have been nicer or more " normal" , we had a delightful chat - Ive always liked him since, an intelligent, decent, courteous, good humoured , artistically talented guy with his ego firmly under control.
Lucky sod :)
He's beautiful
Here to comment once again how David's 1978 night/stage makeup was so simple yet so fabulous and effective. We love a man who understands and appreciates the power of makeup.
Damn he is so freakin hot
Gorgeous Gorgeous GORGEOUS
That's the most at ease I've ever seen 70s Bowie.
It's really amazing how charismatic this man was
he was so totally adorable i would love to hug him
what a handsome guy
David Bowie is the best one forever❤😍
..... 'fraid so .......
i was the Bowie tribute for Canada;
he was handsome bastard, smart too......
I so wish I'd seen him live in the 70s. Those cheekbones & eye make-up!
It's not possible to NOT love bowie, watching this interview. david forever.
LOL when he said he'd "been eating Stilton". 😆 Such charisma he had. It's no wonder so many hearts continue to be melted by the man!
Ever Wondered WHY So Yes , Beautiful ?
Ahhh, I love seeing Nacho in my subscriptions. That interviewer makes Bowie look so small xD
'I've been eating Stilton, do I smell like it?'
'No, not at all, my dear!'
His makeup is also gorgeous.
. . .
'Off to do a show, you coming with?'
ThinWhiteAxe almost identical to Look Back In Anger video.
His smile is so pure here.
@@Jimmybarashkov Love David He's beautiful
He seems so happy.
I cannot believe I was 12 when this was filmed and I didn’t know much about him. Too bad I didn’t ever see him perform.
10 minutes before he has to go on stage ....and charming as allways...Jesus we miss him so!
I think he was just relieved to have survived the previous few years.
He's a drug addict here.
He was no example to young people for the period
1971-1982
Ma che scemenza colossale
Such a gentleman, holding the smoke and puff it away from the interviewer.. so considerate..
such a gentleman
Dug it so much! Loved the "Are you shy?" answer. His eyeliner game was excellent, too.
What a class act. A true gentleman.
You can always see Dave’s incredible genius in his everyday, reg., down to earth, guy....that’s as good, original, and cool, as anyone who’s ever lived. David Bowie “IS COOL!!!
I love his little shy act when she asks him if he's shy. Also, what a lovely looking man he was.
She's such a great interviewer, good questions and a fun rapport.
Bowie liked the interview and it was never awkward or trite.
Excellent
100%!
Totally charming
I don’t know why but that interview just made me cry! And I’m a big tough guy! RIPDB!
yes
I miss him so much. The world needs his creativity and depth so much these days
@@antamanta9584 at least he left us his amazing legacy and he did not have to go through this pandemic shite!
@@DrummingMan1 I know :/ But I kinda miss his way to see life.
"I've heard rumors"😊 I love his laugh when she says "It's the pre-school milk" They're talking about her height David is mesmerizing💟
Barbara Chieppo free school milk
Could you tell me what he says before?
Thanks!!!
Gorgeous man he was! thank you Nacho for always bringing the Best to us!
this is one of the Bowie interviews i keep coming back to rewatch every now and then because it's such a good one, as short as it is - there's an upbeat, bright and jovial chemistry between Porter and Bowie, but it's also substantial rather than superficial and cursory. he's so adorable when he's smiling and laughing this much! (and damn, that cheekbone contour game...)
David Bowie has a quick wit and Janet Street Porter conducts a fine interview !!
This guy is the very reason I started wearing makeup in jr high/high school. Circa 78
aww he's so charming 🥺
Janet was a very good interviewer - she had that knack of relaxing the interviewee.
This is a pleasant interview. Both people seem quite happy to be doing it, which is quite unusual.
This is such a charming interview. All of David's are, but he seems to really get along with the interviewer in this one. Bless you for this upload
Bowie, is always such a gentleman. Great interview! Thank you Nacho!
God he's gorgeous. I don't usually fancy men but he is.. wow... Xx
This is Ground control to David Bowie.... We miss you!! ❤
He's just so charming and funny in this. My fave bit is @5:00 :
JS-P: You think you're shy?
DB (beat - looks at ground): No...
Hahahahahaha!
Thank you, Nacho! I hope that the whole LWT special is re-broadcast at some point. I've seen bits, too, but not the whole thing. The other thing that would be amazing is if that episode of Omnibus that he was on for ABC in America for The Elephant Man in 1980 was re-broadcast also.
the interviewer is so English that she makes the royal family look like colonists
Yes, the royal family are from Germany. Kind of accurate.
@William White my comment was meant lightheartedly.
However, the Anglo-Saxons are not from Germany as the country didn't exist at the time of their immigration. And the white English are comprised of more ethnic groups than merely Anglo-Saxons.
@William White if you're going to pedantically cross-examine a lighthearted comment, you need to up your game.
You said the white English are from Germany. They're not. You were wrong. Yes, the Anglo-Saxons were Germanic tribes, as you have now corrected, but you didn't originally say that. You said they came from Germany, a nation which was only formed in the nineteenth century. So, yes, those modern day borders are relevant as they now form the nation Germany, to which you originally referred, but which didn't exist when the Anglo-Saxons emigrated to Britain.
Further, the white English are constituted from more than just the Anglo-Saxons, as you claimed. They also include the Picts, Celts, Jutes, and possibly other peoples.
As regards your ancestors, I understand that going back further they are generally termed Britons rather than British, but I'm not sure about the difference. I do know that Britain is an island, and so your comparison with Germany falls down because the geographical association exists, despite political entities, whereas there is no geographical Germany that existed prior to the formation of the nation Germany, only Germanic tribes.
Honestly, you can stop being a dick at any moment. I won't mind.
hehe
so elegant so sweet and a true gentlemen
David Bowie adorable
How nostalgic.
That interviewer was trying to keep it together so much 😂🤣
I have that program shown at the end, and it took a long time to find a copy that I could afford. Was gobsmacked that I did find it for under $100! The person I bought it from had obviously taken very good care of it. I'd much rather have been old enough to go see him for this tour, though. Lovely to see him looking relaxed and healthy at a great point in his career.
I love this interview
Omg thank you for posting this!!! I saw this interview a couple years ago and couldn't find it anymore, he is just so adorable and charming and elegant, RIP DAVID BOWIE. 🙌🏻
What a fascinating man! Just about to go out in front of his adoring fans and he’s so accommodating and generous with his time and attention. Love this guy👌
RIP david .... GOODGOD!! your missed
*you're
David Bowie was absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍
Such a gentleman! Present for interviews but makes an elegant get away. Oh how I love his hand to hair smoothing gesture. Thank you Nacho! ❤
I love the way he does that too He was so charismatic and other-worldly He was beautiful inside and outside I remember hearing on the radio when he passed I was in my car in a CVS parking lot waiting on my husband to come out I just sat there stunned and cried alone in my car
@@barbarachieppo8290 An indelible moment hearing about his passing. So many gifts he has given to the world. I love the creative ripples that keep rolling from thoughtful and talented artists like Nacho inspired by Bowie. What a legacy!
Lovely speaking voice.
We just can't thank you enough Nacho.
Best start for the later half of a year ever! 😭
"I've been eating stilton. Do I smell like it?" - David Bowie
"How much cheese is too much cheese?" - Charlie Kelly
I'm such a fan!
A true gentleman.
Thank you so much. Such a lovely man and a gentleman. We dint have many of them . These days .
Smooth bastard. He's so intelligent and charming that he makes me wish I was a woman, just so I could be smooched by him.
Extraordinary.
teppolundgren i dont think you’d have to be a woman to get a smooch from him lmao
@@salvie777 He wasn't really bisexual, though. He experimented a bit, but it was mostly for show. And it did his career a lot of good.
teppolundgren ‘twas a joke my man
teppolundgren it really did do his career good though, dayum
Yes, but it wasn't far off the truth. Who could resist a handsome devil like me?
Thanx A Million as always Nacho for your awesome Bowie video's, interviews and clips! ....Your preserving Bowie History (His-Story)! ....Or you could even say Bowieistory which needs to become a new word! LOL!!
I was at this gig ☺️
I feel dumb because I don't understand why the interviewer said she couldn't go with him because of the Berlin wall Could someone explain it to me please? Awesome that you were at this show😊
Barbara Chieppo thank you. In 1978 the Berlin Wall was in place and Berlin was divided into West Berlin and East Berlin Maybe this’ll explain how things were very different back then. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall
O God David, I miss you so much every day....God bless, see you on the other side xx
What a pleasure to watch this!
THANK YOU
He' s sooooooo lovely❤
I bet that interview took any nerves away before his performance 🙌🇬🇧❤️
Janet Street Porter seems completely in awe of Bowie. Its a sappy bunch of questions and its amazing that Bowie remains so charming throughout.
My goodness-he's as cool as a cucumber before this huge gig. He really was beyond the cool.!
Janet seemed quite impressed with this charming man ❤️
Adorable
Aw this is adorable
A gentleman
You.., Nacho.., Your Number One 🎵🎵🎵
