Live Versions
- A live version recorded at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island on March 23, 1976 was released as a bonus track on the Rykodisc CD release of Station to Station. After regular appearances on the Isolar – 1976 Tour "Word on a Wing" remained under wraps for over twenty years.
- It was revived in 1999 for the VH1 Storytellers TV musical documentary series, when Bowie reaffirmed that the song was a product of 'the darkest days of my life... I'm sure it was a call for help', during those days he declared himself as fascinated by Fascism and mysticism of Third Reich and wondered things like "Can I change the channel on my TV without using the clicker?".

—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
