Despite still touring and starring in a feature film, Bowie manages to find time to write and record three classic albums in a two-year window. Join us as we do things differently this time and take you behind the scenes as we create our Best of the Mid-70s playlist from scratch, featuring singing from Jesse's daughter!

The voyage follows Bowie from North America to Europe on his 1976 Isolar Tour aka The Thin White Duke Tour, The Station to Station Tour and The White Light Tour. We discuss the live album Live Nassau Coliseum '76 as well as his infamous drug bust in Rochester, NY with Iggy Pop and his unconventional show opener - a showing of the 1929 film Un Chien Andalou.

SPOILER WARNING

Join Jesse and John at the movies as they chat about Nicolas Roeg's 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth. Starring David Bowie, of course!
