Strangers When We Meet – Live in 1996

By David Bowie

Strangers When We Meet is one of the most underrated Bowie songs. I really love this truly incredible version. The piano was mixed perfectly. Notice how everyone in the band just played the perfect part.

I hope you hear and see what I see. He was the artist of many generations.
