He knew how to surround himself with the very best talent... Musicians, back up singers, bands, orchestras... Very theatrical talented man!!! Master class artist!
I am so happy you are having such fun with Bowie but am looking forward to the day you watch his final official videos for Blackstar and Lazarus -- It is absolutely imperative that you watch the official video releases for them because it is visually engrossing and is packed full of visual references to Bowies work both in music and film -- Masterpiece -- and even as shockingly and achingly hard it is to see him so ill he left us such a gift filled with Drama - Mysticism - Mythology and even his humor right to the very end -- When you are ready Pope
Oh wow. I didn’t really fully hear/getBowie until later in my life. His music and performances so often bring a lump to the throat. An opening of the heart. Truly unique, a creative legend and a gift to us all.
Mine too, best live version; that part at the end when he does the gesture of taking off a mask always hit me, absolute genius. Greetings from Buenos Aires 👋.
This movie was shown on TV in the later 80s, after it had come out, and as a young teen I sat in front of the TV with a tape recorder, so I could record this song from the movie onto a cassette tape. I was so ❤ when I got it recorded.😊 Memories!
The coolest cat in any camp was always Bowie! I remember as a teen how he influenced us.., there was a 'rockers camp' a 'synth camp' and a smaller 'mods camp' at the side... eyeballing each other, but Bowie transgressed all and was cool in every camp. Didn't hear this song for many years but it was a leit-motif for me and a girlfriend spending an autumn week in London around the time (87??). Keep reacting to Bowie!! Try 'Station to Station'.
Please make a Live Reaction about these songs: Wild is the Wind (official video), The Man Who Sold The World [2020 Mix], The Prettiest Star, Atomica (he was in his 60's), Lady Stardust, It's no Game. I have been a Fan since 1994. I have seen him 3 times and know all songs.
Hey Pope, great reaction as always, would be cool if you check “We Are The Dead/1984/Big Brother/Chant” next, it's a suite of songs from the album "Diamond Dogs" inspired by the novel "1984”. 👨🎤
I love to see your deep appreciation of Bowie, no one else can touch him. I remember sitting in the woods, in tree, singing space oddity on my own in1969 . I've been in love with his product ever since. I don't know if you have listened to any of his pre-seventies recordings, but listening to Silly boy blue, and the London boys, from Toy can leed you right back to the start of an unparalleled genius. God bless him.
I still can't believe he's gone. I have him tattooed on my arm underneath Iggy Pop. I saw him live in 2003 and it was utter magic. Thanks man I love your Bowie reactions. Where are we now is such an incredible song to check out bro. 😎
Ditto. And ditto to Bowie Tattoo. Have a 1/2 sleeve dedicated to many iconic images right out of his albums and lyrics. This version of Absolute Beginners always brings on the tears. ✌
@@brucedillinger9448 that's so cool man. I have Aladdin Sane but always fancied another couple. Great idea having others and lyrics too. Life on Mars? was the first dance at my wedding many moons ago.
Of all the David Bowie live concerts available on video, this is my all-time favorite (BBC sessions). He could not have a better band (Gail is so awesome on bass!)
Really enjoying your Bowie journey of discovery. You know to expect the unexpected - but listen to 'Subterraneans' the studio version for something you will not be prepared for. A beautiful haunting song.
This was our wedding's 'Second Song.' For what it's worth, our First Song (the slow dance) was Depeche Mode's Somebody. 🥰 th-cam.com/video/jbaKcxTW7A8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xE1iNLOri0eaG8hT
my favorite line up! with Gail on bass and Mike on keyboards its always flawless. there are so so many favorite songs of his. would love you to see "My Death" from the ziggy stardust motion picture. the whole concert is amazing but that song was burned into me indelibly when i saw it on the big screen.
Such a great loss the man was a musical genius Britain's Bob Dylan. Out of the Three musical talents that came out of Britain Rod Stewart, Elton John and of course David Bowie in my view Bowie was the one.
Some good Bowie songs to react to would be Warszawa or Subterraneans (the studio versions). As for live performances, the version of Hallo Spaceboy he did with the Foo Fighters for his 50th birthday at Madison Square is great.
Kate Bush had nothing to do with this; she’s my other favourite artist but she was no where near this. The backing vocals were by a woman who at the time was absolutely brand new; this was singer Janet Armstrong’s first ever professional release.
Long time friend and collaborator Mike Garson plays a blinder on the piano on this one. Just beautiful. David is as cool and charismatic, as always. Again, too many choices to narrow down, but maybe the video for "Buddha Of Suburbia", which is a fantastic song and a cool vid. Love the reaction again Pope. You never disappoint. 😺Peace✌
You do reactions right. I enjoy them. With Pearl Jam, first five albums are perfect. It is a gorgeous music land. Ten, Vs., Vitalogy, No Code and Yeild.
Lovely to to see a young man smiling and absolutely loving a legend
The soundtrack to this film has some great songs. This is one of my favourite Bowie tracks. Great watching your journey through Bowieland, Pope.

Always requested never done 😢❤
Well said. It’s so good it hurts deeply on a profound level or many. I’m still puzzling and always enthralled ❤
This live performance sounded better than the record.❤
Almost brought me to tears.
not only was the man genius he always looked as if he was having fun and smiled on stage
he just oozed coolness
Absolutely love everything Bowie .💜Been listening to him for over 50 years and I still can't get enough of Bowie .!
Loved him soo much. He enjoyed performing and you can tell his band loved him too. He was the coolest.
Miss his presence in this world.
👍❤🤙
my all time favorite bowie song...mostly unknown but always out there knocking them down right and x marks the s.pod.....
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

big guy,i`ve seen Bowie twice,legend doesn`t even cover it
Love your dinner menu analogy Pope. Right on the money, and he was in fact way too fucking cool
Top fav songs! This live version is my favorite version of the song. 💜⚡✨
Mine too, best live version; that part at the end when he does the gesture of taking off a mask always hit me, absolute genius. Greetings from Buenos Aires 👋.
Agree! This live version is so much more than the studio take from so long ago.
such beautiful soul.,thank you Bowie
This movie was shown on TV in the later 80s, after it had come out, and as a young teen I sat in front of the TV with a tape recorder, so I could record this song from the movie onto a cassette tape. I was so ❤ when I got it recorded.😊
Memories!
A favorite actor of mine is in the front row.
if you havent seen it yet watch movie Labyrinth starring Bowie with many songs by him in it
so many kids loved labyrinth

David Bowie merecia um react sincero e legal, parabéns !
An absolutely wonderful reaction. Hope you do go through Bowie's entire catalogue, though even half would be something else. Keep going!

"Lets Dance" is an absolute banger from Bowie, it is one of my favorite song from him.
Great reaction gosh I love this song!
Adore bowie when he's ethereal like this
Beautiful. Stunning piano.
You need to watch David Bowie Live by request
Hey Pope, great reaction as always, would be cool if you check “We Are The Dead/1984/Big Brother/Chant” next, it's a suite of songs from the album "Diamond Dogs" inspired by the novel "1984”. 👨🎤
Agreed!
Yes!!
Ah, Bowie- another favorite. For a sample of how awesome his voice matured, check out Slow Burn from the Heathen album.
Pope, you're awesome! Thanks for the great attention that you're paying to Mr. Bowie. Thank you!
Bowie could always put a band together that sounded better live than the recordings.

Love your vibe man. Solid ass energy, thanks :)

Ye gods that's a good song.
grandiosa cancion del mas grande
Thanks Pope! You rock❗🔈🔉🔊
Sooòoo❤❤
too good 😭😭😭

Same Piano Player that was on Aladdin Sane……Mike Garson!

Drums and Bass are tight here, may be the heavy compressed mix too.
You should check out his Pin Ups album, bloody fabulous 🌟
Sublime. Brilliant choice x
I remember when this song came out I was a bit disappointed by how conventional it was. There's no denying now that it's an absolute classic though.
hey Pope, have you seen 👀 the trailer for the new bowie movie coming out in sept. its called "moonage daydream". it looks incredible
definitely will be watching 🙏🏿
Such a great loss the man was a musical genius Britain's Bob Dylan. Out of the Three musical talents that came out of Britain Rod Stewart, Elton John and of course David Bowie in my view Bowie was the one.
Have to put paul weller in that group. All most 5 decades and still writing great songs.
Got to be Mike Garson on the piano. Such a unique style. Played the piano in the old ziggy stardust days.
Some good Bowie songs to react to would be Warszawa or Subterraneans (the studio versions). As for live performances, the version of Hallo Spaceboy he did with the Foo Fighters for his 50th birthday at Madison Square is great.
great song, good choice of song as always....may god bless you
Young Man, you've got to react to the David Bowie song..... Fame...
blocked :(
Blocked ?! Serious bummer.
Another two thumbs up ❤❤
Kate Bush did the backing vox on the original
She did? Did not know that.
@@brucedillinger9448 i didnt know this as well
Kate Bush had nothing to do with this; she’s my other favourite artist but she was no where near this.
The backing vocals were by a woman who at the time was absolutely brand new; this was singer Janet Armstrong’s first ever professional release.
@@davidm7847 Mea culpa. I checked and you’re right. I’ve believed that for decades. Happy to be called out and proven wrong 👍
Great reaction Sir.

Again, too many choices to narrow down, but maybe the video for "Buddha Of Suburbia", which is a fantastic song and a cool vid. Love the reaction again Pope. You never disappoint. 😺Peace✌
That is a good one
You do reactions right. I enjoy them. With Pearl Jam, first five albums are perfect. It is a gorgeous music land. Ten, Vs., Vitalogy, No Code and Yeild.
I'm thinking you might like a little Tin Machine (and kind of surprised that no one has recommended them yet).
Would you be able to go back to more SRV do ain't gone n give up on love and testify both from capital theater
added to the list 🙏🏿
Andy Garcia
There is a better quality version of the whole concert out there.
