Just before this concert, David had been criticised for using the melody of "Somewhere over the rainbow" in the chorus of "Starman". Therefore, he sort of confirmed or commented this "rumour" by actually singing the melody in the chorus at this concert. He often said that he stole things form others but he sure enough transformed them into something new, brilliant and personal. Fantastic that this event was recorded! And I would really liked to have heard David sing the whole "Somewhere over the rainbow"...! Thank you for all your creativity, dear mr Bowie!
@@garrold7123"there's a STAR MAN" = "SOME WHERE over the rainbow", it is the use of an interval of an octave (musical term meaning the distance between these two notes) going from the low note to the high note.
So interesting, a couple of years ago I said to a friend Starman and Somewhere over the rainbow have the same octave leap.....star...MAN. some....WHERE.
A young lady named Tamar just pointed out to me that he sings Over the Rainbow at 2:30, which is a song that speaks of the Bluebird. And as we know, in his last lyrics of Blackstar he refers to himself as that bluebird. Not likely a coincidence, as the word Blackstar is also a song by Elvis, who he loved - the Blackstar in Elvis's song is the spectre of death.
I'm jealous 😭 I wasn't alive when David Bowie was playing The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (i've only been listening to him for a year ☹️)
Let the children use it, let the children choose it, but most of all, Mamma, let those pretty things boogie woogie all night long! Oh and another thing, David Jones is a kingbee!!!

This is so great!! This is definitely in my top 5 David Bowie songs! (Maybe even my Favorite)
