I was at this show. A great night. Bowie, if memory serves, only played his own songs until Lou came out. Then he played Lou’s songs. A true sign of respect and admiration.
I love how Lou looks at David like a proud father or older brother. both such brilliant minds and talented beings, my love for them is unending. I was born too late.
Freddie Mercury,Marc Bolan,David Bowie and Lou Reed are together in a band in HEAVEN!!!Along with Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,John Lennon and Jim Morrison they are jamming!!!!!!!!!
David Bowie and Lou Reed are a killer combination 🎉🎉. They are 2 icons playing music 🎶 🎵 together, and it's a stellar performance 🎉🎉. They both sound amazing 🎉🎉
Bowie is ridiculously cool. No effort required by the man. Both Lou and David were putting out decent music around this time. "Ecstacy" is one of Lou's best solo albums IMHO. All I Wanna know is where's Iggy? Woulda been perfect if he'd crashed the party.
Yes, two major contributors to the scene in the modern age--that means early seventies and on. Cool to see them trading riffs and commaraderie. Thanks to TH-cam that we can enjoy them now. And....thanks for the upload!
Two brilliant men who are sadly missed. This is a great performance and I just love the little bits of banter between them whilst they sing, you can tell they were friends. I just hope this is happening somewhere else right now.
+batwingedloony No kidding. You would really have to wonder about a crowd that would be booing Lou Reed and David Bowie. It's impossible to have that many clueless people in one place at one time!!
+Ricky Rhoades The same thing happens at Bruce Springsteen concerts. Everyone shouts Bruuuce which als sounds a lot like booing. I find it annoying tbh.
I can only imagine the electricity that was in the air during this performance. Lou with the intense, sensual power and David with the drama and spice! They were two of the rare coolest artists of all. This concert will need to be purchased! Thank you for sharing.
+Chilli Whippet NEVER! I've just created a celebration for myself with Bowie. For the rest of my life, January is going to be David Bowie month for me. ALL BOWIE ALL THE TIME. January is kind of a bland month so now I have something to look forward to every January!!
No one will forget Ziggy, but David got sick of being Ziggy instead of Bowie. So he killed him off under the premise of his fans being so consuming that they sealed his fate. Brilliant.
That's Mike Garson in the background. Been with Bowie since 73. I've been with his music since 71. So sad that he is gone now. Lost Lou too a few years back. Garson does a heart wrenching tribute to Bowie on this channel.
+David Prince Agreed. He really brings power to his guitar. I bought the first Tin Machine cd 26 years ago when it was first released. And like many, I was disappointed to hear that it didn't sound at all like Bowie's earlier stuff. A few songs grew on me for a few weeks, but that was it. Last year, I was bored with all my other cd's, I dropped it into my car cd player. Reeves guitar work immediately jumped out at me. I am a guitarist and didn't even notice how good it was back then. Reeves is absolutely up there with the best of them..
+Charleybones I think that the last group of musicians he had were (forgive me if I'm not using this word right) virtuoso level musicians. I guess that means the best of the best. Reeves, Mike Garson, Gail Ann Dorsey and some of the others from the 90's and early 2000s were some of the best in the world at what they did.
I was at this show. A great night. Bowie, if memory serves, only played his own songs until Lou came out. Then he played Lou’s songs. A true sign of respect and admiration.
I want someone to look at me like Lou Reed looked at David Bowie
Friendship.& Good Music is beautiful.
Adri Rom : I know 😭
If Reed had been as beautiful and stylish as Bowie, with his songs … time would have stopped somewhere around Lexington 125.
I love how Lou looks at David like a proud father or older brother. both such brilliant minds and talented beings, my love for them is unending. I was born too late.
That rare thing.....Lou Reed smiling!
After their epic fallout in 1979, it's good to see David and Lou
back again.
Lou Reed & David Bowie together are sublime.
08:20' "feeling so good" and you can tell, for Bowie's smile. I love to see him happy.
can't get much cooler than bowie and lou together.
Agree.... Portugal :)
agree Germany :D
I was lucky enough to attend this concert when I was still a teenager. He was brilliant!
That was Dynamite!!!! Heck The King of New York actually smiled!
Freddie Mercury,Marc Bolan,David Bowie and Lou Reed are together in a band in HEAVEN!!!Along with Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,John Lennon and Jim Morrison they are jamming!!!!!!!!!
...Now Prince joining
What a jam... add SRV
Beautiful to see their friendship in this performance... they just effing love each other. My heart... my eyes.. my ears. All the love. X
I NEVER EVER EVER GET TIRED OF THIS VIDEO.🎶
I miss my Starman ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The memory of these two gentlemen will live for at least a thousand years...
Two best rock and rollers of all time. Having the time of their life.
2 legendary performers
R.i.p both great legend singer .
Thank God for TH-cam where we can revisit legends such as Reed and Bowie forever.
Queen Bitch always made me think of The Velvet Underground.
Damn 50 seems so young now; huge deal then. Amazing performance!!!
Incredible performances. Strung out in heavens high together now.
It’s great seeing the looks between these two hooligans while on stage, they’ve seen and been through a lot together. 🤘🤙
There is so much inner joy that constantly seeps out of David Bowie I can feel it and it increases my own.
two beautiful souls partying in heaven now
Oh, the feels! Seeing my two childhood & lifelong heroes like this...time just marches on.
+Erin Piccolo It's times like this that remind us that growing old is truly not for sissies.
That's the greatest thing I've read today! Thank you! I needed to read that.
What great memories... Lou may you rest in peace... and you are sorely missed
David Bowie and Lou Reed are a killer combination 🎉🎉. They are 2 icons playing music 🎶 🎵 together, and it's a stellar performance 🎉🎉. They both sound amazing 🎉🎉
just as well I wasn't there. I would have died of happiness to see both these gods on stage together.
Bowie is ridiculously cool. No effort required by the man.
Both Lou and David were putting out decent music around this time. "Ecstacy" is one of Lou's best solo albums IMHO. All I Wanna know is where's Iggy? Woulda been perfect if he'd crashed the party.
Yeah, it would have been awesome to hear them play something off The Idiot, and maybe even Raw Power
David: "Well Lou, it's 1997 and we're still waiting for songwriters to match us and Dylan..."
Still waiting.
+Ashley Burns It's gonna be a looooonnnnng fucking wait if ever!
+Ashley Burns Truer words were never spoken.
+Ashley Burns Never again...
Ashley Burns Cobain?
2nd Ward Not...
Yes, two major contributors to the scene in the modern age--that means early seventies and on. Cool to see them trading riffs and commaraderie. Thanks to TH-cam that we can enjoy them now. And....thanks for the upload!
Incredible video of two incredible Rockers.....Bowie and Reed.....They truly are "White Light/ White Heat".....
Saw Dave in 1983 in Birmingham. He was, of course, top quality.
Wow! Thanks for uploading. Brilliant sound.
Two brilliant men who are sadly missed. This is a great performance and I just love the little bits of banter between them whilst they sing, you can tell they were friends. I just hope this is happening somewhere else right now.
Yes...Yes...Yes...Thank you Lou Reed...and David Bowie...and to all who have gone on before you...Miss you both dearly!
Simply awesome.... Lou is the coolest man in NYC and Bowie... well the coolest EVER!
Genau - er wird immer bei uns sein - nur in einer anderen Form der
Energie.
David, RIP........one request......say hello to Lou for me.
-and Freddie.
They're not booing. They're Louinng!
+Ricky Rhoades wow, that makes so much more sense hahaha. i was like "wtf are these wastes of life booing about?"
+batwingedloony No kidding. You would really have to wonder about a crowd that would be booing Lou Reed and David Bowie. It's impossible to have that many clueless people in one place at one time!!
+Ricky Rhoades
The same thing happens at Bruce Springsteen concerts.
Everyone shouts Bruuuce which als sounds a lot like booing.
I find it annoying tbh.
+nallly they weren't booing, they were saying "loouuu"
+KeyToSuccess - Bruuuuuuuce!! "I know my name!"
Totally FANTASTIC ❤️❤️
what a fantastic concert in heaven....bowie, mercury, lou reed, gary moore, robert palmer , Dio, Lemmy, zappa...I miss you...
I can only imagine the electricity that was in the air during this performance. Lou with the intense, sensual power and David with the drama and spice! They were two of the rare coolest artists of all. This concert will need to be purchased! Thank you for sharing.
King of New York himself, Mr. Lou Reed
Lou there are no words, you are so missed..RIP
2 great people who put out great music
This is how Heaven sounds like now. Rock on Lou and David!
Thank you both. We will see all together. Our rock hell. Or heaven? I don´t know.
But perfect.
That Reeves Gabrels is an animal on guitar. He gets the sound of the cranked up guitar sound from Queen Bitch perfectly.
Yes, a pity camera avoids him; he's absolutely awesome and his sound and playing is crucial on both tracks!
That was truly rock solid rock & roll, it resonates to the core.
There will be another visionary like David Bowie..
Tears in my eyes
WOW! What a great version of *Waiting For The Man*
(thanks, guys)
Brilliant, Bowie at his best, performing and producing, just beautiful
Love this Snake! 😍
WOW! What a treat, this *Waiting For The Man*-version!
(thanks, guys)
I was there!!! It was awesome! Two AMAZING talented men
Even the great Lou Reed looks nervous performing with Bowie! wow!!
The two are legends who changed music forever
Rock and Roll Animals! Thank You! I´m also 50 now...
Fantastic, 2 of the Greatest Artist's of all Time......❤
Continue to have great fun wherever you are :-)
Nice to see Lou Reed looking so happy ...
Great find to have one electric and an acoustic guitar and you can hear both.
This Timing in the end ..with these three breaks ..incl the electronic pleasure..mmm
This makes me so happy that these two were bros.
Two amazing greats! love the soul patch on Bowie

miss em both so much ,
so many thanks and respect you two HEROES OF MINE .
Ah, the soundtrack of my youth! Thank you so much for uploading, you've made me very happy : )
Only Bowie could out-Lou Reed Lou Reed.
Thats good.
Great comment
SO great how they loved each other.
He out-rocked the Stones with "Let's Spend the Night Together" and he is the ONLY guy who could hold his own with Lou, who was pretty damn cool.
Look at Lou looking at Bowie - he's so in love w/him. I'm disappointed they didn't kis.s
At the time when this song was written , it was not done to sing 'I am waiting for my man'; luckily we have emancipated, a.o.thanks to Reed and Bowie.
Awesome Stuff. Bowie's own velvets pastiche covered with the great man himself
Fantastic ❤
Bowie sounds so great live..so fucking great..rest in peace David... you are sorely missed ..Lou Reed and Bowie..wow! wow! wow!
Never ever ever forgotten Ziggy.
+Chilli Whippet NEVER! I've just created a celebration for myself with Bowie. For the rest of my life, January is going to be David Bowie month for me. ALL BOWIE ALL THE TIME. January is kind of a bland month so now I have something to look forward to every January!!
+nallly I agree with you totally friend but it's February and I can't stop listening...

Um momento Sagrado na História da Música!!!
...wiecznej radości w raju
lou's smile looks incredible
one of the most exciting songs ever.. both by Bowie..and this one with dear Lou :)
No one will forget Ziggy, but David got sick of being Ziggy instead of Bowie. So he killed him off under the premise of his fans being so consuming that they sealed his fate. Brilliant.
with respect ...
i miss that time even though i wasn't born there.
legends !!!!!!!
zwei sehr coole Jungs ... jetzt wieder vereint ...
Too cool
THIS WAS 1995. OUR LOU LOOKED FABULOUS HERE...NO ONE ON THE PLANET COULD DO IT LIKE LOU.
Never ever thought Iggy Pop will outlive Lou Reed and David Bowie.
Maybe it was all that peanut butter. Lots of protein.
Never doubted it for a second.
The getting naked dancing helped keep Iggy fit.
twas the dog food...
Neither did I.
The coolest man in New York with the coolest man in the world!!
nallly Bowie genuinely liked singing Lou reeds songs. Lou thought that was pretty darn good. Lol
David was 50 here and looked better than most 20 years old. Amazing!
He deep sixed way before Bowie!!!
Lou smiling... God bless you, man. I miss you so much.
Thank You David....Thank You Lou......See you on the other side
+mrwestern123 all thumbs up!
+Ernesto Ribeiro ...and not the Spiders from Mars...
+Ernesto Ribeiro
" Ronson "
+mrwestern123 David...Lou...See you on the Wid Other Side !!!!.....
+mrwestern123 yes i think the same
That's Mike Garson in the background. Been with Bowie since 73. I've been with his music since 71. So sad that he is gone now. Lost Lou too a few years back. Garson does a heart wrenching tribute to Bowie on this channel.
Reeves Gabrels just shreds the shit out of these songs, what a brilliant guitarist
+David Prince Agreed. He really brings power to his guitar. I bought the first Tin Machine cd 26 years ago when it was first released. And like many, I was disappointed to hear that it didn't sound at all like Bowie's earlier stuff. A few songs grew on me for a few weeks, but that was it. Last year, I was bored with all my other cd's, I dropped it into my car cd player. Reeves guitar work immediately jumped out at me. I am a guitarist and didn't even notice how good it was back then. Reeves is absolutely up there with the best of them..
+Charleybones I think that the last group of musicians he had were (forgive me if I'm not using this word right) virtuoso level musicians. I guess that means the best of the best. Reeves, Mike Garson, Gail Ann Dorsey and some of the others from the 90's and early 2000s were some of the best in the world at what they did.
