Considering Bowie's voracious appetite during this period for coke, speedballs, booze, and other not-so-nutritious substances, it's a miracle he made it past thirty and avoided joining many of his peers as a woeful member of the infamous 27 Club. This being said, I still consider DB's death at age 69 to be the premature passing of an incredible personality who had MUCH more to give to this world if he had been permitted just a couple more decades of life on our mortal coil. Oh well. In the end, we all should be happy we were graced with a talent of his kind, in the first place!
@@adnilbraganza2211if it was not for hearing & seeing David Bowie and Mick Ronson on the Midnight Special and their last live public performance at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon in 1973, I would not still be playing guitar today and for that matter I'd probably would not of ever been influenced & inspired to pick up and learn to play an electric guitar just like Mick Ronson and emulate his distinctive sound with a half cocked position Cry Baby wah wah pedal, a Gibson Les Paul and Marshall half stack amp.. ❤👨🏻🎤🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵
The man could do it all, but his singing on many of his post Ziggy albums still astonishes me, tracks like this plus Wild is the Wind on Station to Station are fine examples of this master craftsman’s sublime magic as a singer of the very highest calibre. RIP David Bowie & thnx for all the beautiful music.
I've seen clips of this footage but not complete like this. Bowie on coke, in a limo cruising NYC's seedy district, to the awesome track, WIN... how can you not win? ;>)
NYC's "seedy district" was Time square in it's decline-- full of peep shows & strip clubs. You can see similar footage in Scorsese's 1976 classic 'Taxi Driver'. Yes I also heard Bowie was struggling with coke at this time, and struggling with his management, which was ripping him off. Alladin sane was A Lad insane according to Bowie himself, and was captured beautifully in this video & song.
Should've kept "It's Gonna Be Me" and "Who Can I Be Now" on the album. Two such remarkable songs. Have to think there's a way to keep them and "Fame" on there, even with the limitations of the quality of vinyl after 40 minutes. Never cared for the cover of "Across the Universe", and either "Can You Hear Me" or "Somebody Up There Likes Me" could've been cut too, if necessary, imo.
Nothing plastic about this, or his other work during the mid-late 1970s (Pin Ups to Lodger). Young Americans is as good anything coming out of Detroit.
One of my fave Bowie tracks, if that is even possible!
Another favorite, can't have just one. Another shade of Bowie evoking other emotions. Thank you so much Davey Jones

At least we got some good albums from him and he didn’t die at 27
The sniff at the beginning of the vid……
He recalled he could not remember this period in his life, because he was so high on drugs, but he recorded this absolute beauty.😊❤

Speedballs? You sure he was injecting heroin and cocaine? I’m not sure he even knew he did that

Lovely :)
@ 3:45 he says: “Did I leave the oven on?” Look closely.
You made me look.
Was this from a doc? I’d like to watch more
