David Bowie is literally the only person who could go on after Queen.
True.
Never understand why they didn't do Under Pressure together at the end of one set or start of the other.
Kyle Mikesell nah he was nowhere near as great as QUEEN
nonsense
Lisa I would have to say their equals
Proud and humbled to be able to say
I
Was
There!
threetreetown that’s amazing I wish I was thhere
Omg lucky!!! I would have loved to see Bowie and Queen. They r my heroes😍
threetreetown WOW LUCKY YOU THAT IS FANTASTIC ✌️
Youre so lucky
threetreetown how old are you
I love how he takes the time to introduce the whole band, that's the kind of humbleness you don't see in many celebrities.
Classy
Humility
It's actually pretty common in music acts that are collaborative. Bowie was extremely collaborative in his music, even covering one of Luther Vandross' songs when he was a back up singer for him in New York the during the Young Americans sessions, full co-credit and everything. Most famously are his collaborations with Trent Reznor.
absolutely
That is a happy band. David was such a gent.
The crowds of the 80s were unmatched
Except for the early 70’s
70's and 80's were unmatched. But this is something I feel quite strongly about. I'm glad they changed to seating and tickets because it was a ticking timebomb for a mass accident. That vibe of music was breathtaking and timeless but we did the right thing changing to mainly seating
As a fellow member of the 80’s crowd I couldn’t agree more. I was not around for Woodstock but I around for Live Aid and it was the most epic day of my life.
I wish I was there! Such an epic event!
60s were cool, As well
my dad sold his car to go see david bowie and queen live, traveled with very little money, got shitfaced after the show and passed out outside the venue but if i don't show up after 1am its the end of the world
Hahaha! You just wait until you become a parent......
fucking awful parents
that's because Dad knows what goes on after 1 a.m.
Hahahahahahaha brilliant 😂😂😄😄
That is not very responsible and nothing to be really proud of
I hope all those 72.000 people really understand how lucky they were.
@Galo well I do, can't speak for the other 71,999 🤔
Oh I do too, the unlucky ones were those who queued all night for tickets but the tickets were all sold out before they got to the front of the queue. The tickets cost £25, and just look at all the brilliant artists we saw. I went to the Nelson Mandela tribute concert too, it was good but nothin compared to Live Aid
Believe me, those who were there that day -- me included -- know just how lucky we were to be there. And I was there by accident!
I feel exactly like you do! My friend got me tickets to see Bowie, probably five or 10 rows back from the stage and I could hardly breathe as I was in awe of him! My poor friend went home with bruises on his arm as I kept lovingly slapping and punching him and screaming “no way!!!”
I agree. Probably the greatest line-up of musical talent since Woodstock.
Bowie could make a vast stadium feel as intimate as a tiny club. You always felt he was singing to you. It's charisma at level unknown to most mortals.
Certainly to kanye fucking west.
@@ripdbtpoo1441 weed eater
Kanye thinks charisma is being a dick
Yes. Absolutely. A.azing experience live.
@@ripdbtpoo1441jajajaj
Those were the days, best days of my life. We had the best music, it seemed the best of everything. I feel sorry for anyone who didn’t experience these days.❤
Every day I see our freedom and optimism fade away a little bit more. I miss the 80s so much.
YEP BEST DAYS OFF MY LIFE.
The 80's were great but you should have been around for the 70's! They were pretty damn cool.
cmooon man, 90' was great also ;-)
actually we have access to these days on-demand online, much more convenient. I've seen hundreds of concerts via TH-cam and i'm eternally grateful for it
I was 18 years old when I went to this concert.
I am sitting on some guys shoulders to the right of the stage. You can see my bare back and my arms up in the air. He was pointing at me when he was singing this song.
This was a magical day.
I still have my ticket stub.
David Bowie still live on....
you're such a lucky man...!!
I bet he was awesome that close up.
I was there, I can't find my stub, Aaaaaaaaaaggggggh
memories from youth - the best that can be
Was in the royal box and wish I could’ve been with you all, one day somehow a concert like this will be again... great show by all
they missed the perfect opportunity to have bowie and mercury sing under pressure together
IKR!
True
@@lefthandedmustang But he wrote it..
Some songs are meant for the 'right' voice; this was one of them.
Dog Z no Freddie wasn't referring to Under Pressure, it was one of Freddie's solo songs that Bowie wanted his backing vocals taken off.
I have experienced at least 5 versions of this song by David.............each one different and each one brilliant. he is Amazing !
Nobody will ever replace Mr David Bowie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
World Champions miusic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen
No chance
Imagine being alive in the same era as David Bowie walked the earth !
Absolutely spot on. We wanted to go but had a baby boy to look after! We had the telly on the whole time, friends round and food and drink all ready to get us through it all! Brilliant and never to be repeated.
Oh, and named my newest little dog (now 3 years old) Ziggy in his honour.
This only man who'd wear a tie to a rock festival, the absolute legend that is David Bowie.
And looking as a rock star
That is not rock festival dude
David bowie was a true punk rocker. And that really pisses off punk rockers.
Exactly, pure class 😊
@@tuvshintugsbattulga4633 naa it was a hotdog eating contest
Dedicating this to "one of my kids" that just lost their life to Covid-19. She was a nurse and a hero professionally and personally!
sorry for your loss.
God bless
I hold you in my heart today. This song was an anthem then and now.
I feel very sad with you, I can read your sorrow.....
Let she rest peaceful...
Many many thoughts from Switzerland...❤️🏵️🌷🌹
RIP
5:22 He stops the music, the crowd applauds and then he starts again powerful. The crowd gets crazy. What a concert, what a time.
Perfeito ❤
Wild 😅
As a musician, this is not easy to do without rehearsal and from what I know, there were no rehearsals for this show.
I always get chills when Bowie starts singing
an alien: in a good way!
😮😮
I'd like to think that the young people who weren't alive when this happened went and saw "Bohemian Rhapsody", came to TH-cam to see Queen's performance, and now they're making their way through all the videos of the concert and seeing all this great music. It really was a special day and I'd like to see more people see the performances that made it remarkable.
Sarah B Well that's exactly what we are doing right now
Sarah B basically yes that’s what I’m doing, saw it last night I’m 17 btw
Spot on!
I am!!
came to see U2 but close to spot on
It's crazy that we now live in a world without Freddie, Bowie and Prince...it's just so weird. Legends Never Die. So glad we had them for the time we did.
It’s not weird at all...People come and go and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. All the above left behind records anyone can listen to, to reminisce if they so desire
It couldn’t be more normal. They’re just blokes, ordinary people like me & you
Don’t forget Michael Jackson!!!
And Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries.
Los podemos cambiar por Maluma, J Balvin y Bad Bunny.
2024, this stands the test of time, the song, the performance, the humility, the fun.... what a performer we have lost.
Gone much too soon.
Look at everything that live aid was not just for the cause but the era of groups and musicians that are a million miles away from today’s so called celebrities like Taylor Swift who’s a billionaire!!! Really Really, you don’t even come close to getting on the guests list let alone set the stage alight like these people.
It’s hard to describe how much I love Bowie. Legend doesn’t even come close. The greatest, ever.
Diana, Princess of Wales 💎, is alive! Yes, and it’s time the world begins to awaken to this Truth and so much more. Not only is our beloved Princess still with us, but so is John F. Kennedy, Jr., Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette. There’s also a long list of celebrities and entrepreneurs including David Bowie, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, and Whitney Houston.
So, how does one account for something as unbelievable as this? Well, each person named above, and those whose names haven’t been revealed yet, have their own story, and soon you’ll be learning about it. However, in the meantime, here’s the short version. Each one of these people, at one point, entered into a worldwide witness protection program.
Wondering what these individuals needed protection from?
It’s something the likes of which the average man or woman has never been confronted with. Although it may sound funny, each one of us will eventually have a role in the “Big Picture,” too. What is it? We need to respectfully listen to their stories and begin to understand the “as yet, unrecognized threat” that humanity has been living amongst.
Bottom line is that we must give these brave people an opportunity to tell their stories and face head-on the Truths that we’ll be given in order to protect our families and ourselves now and forever more. Best way for us to complete our responsibility is to have unwavering faith in our Creator, God Eternal.

@@annettehein6810 , yes!
Queen and David Bowie were the best by far.
They should have performed Under Pressure together there.
warre1 Absolutely!
Yeah Bowie legend. Fred... ICON... PERFECT COCKTAIL. .. AS IN UNDER PRESSURE X
U2 was great too
Almost every band that participated did really good but I think the style council did good to
as a 17 year old girl i cant even begin to explain the thrill i get from the music of these eras. truly truly timeless. bowie will live forever.
I’m so impressed by you ! You get it ! 👏👏👏👏 my kids say to me all h time I wish I was there ! I wish we had this !
Same here 17
@@R17.. smart young person ! Way head of your age to appreciate music of this time👏👏👏👏
I wish I could take you back to experience the 80s. It was far from a 'perfect' decade; just the same today feels so fake, so controlled, so angry, and so, so unfree. I was 18 and watched every second of the concert. I wish you the very best of luck Millie, and so glad this kind of music touches you.
Same here, New music is often boring, sounds all the same and unauthentic.
I love the musical era of the last decencies.
Bowie is an absolute legend, there will never be the likes of him again, I’m nearly 52, and I feel privileged to have experienced living in an age where artists like him were around………..
Pues si
Me to and I m 68❤
Thank you, David . The world needs so many more heroes.
“No, David Bowie ain’t dead....he just went home”
Wtf I actually just got done watching mib
Best quote - gonna put this on a tee
Hey my darling, we are at a recording studio right now making part 2 of under pressure.
Thank you, from Germany.
@Ken Man joke flew right over your head.
David Bowie will go down in history as the most well-dressed, stylish gentleman ever.
Apart from making lots of groundbreaking music that was way ahead of its time, of course.
George Micheal?
You should see him in concert in Berlin! Also best version of hero’s on there.
So true Jonathan Newton. I marvel at every picture even when he was so young, he was a master at what he was wearing. Did you ever see him in a bad outfit? He could pull off anything and look like a million bucks doing it. I sure miss him.
Don't forget Robert Palmer. He oozed style.
Right mate I remember when they tore down that accursed thing I remember! I lived in the Netherlands I've been to Anne Frank's house! 🙏👼
I saw this on the day . I had never heard Heroes before but was mesmerized by it as I'm sure millions have been.
I have loved ths song for many years, so glad you have finally heard it
Best version is on "Old School Records" youtube channel
I loved that he thanked & introduced his band. A real classy guy!!
My dad died a few months ago. He recorded this live on vhs while he danced with me and my older brother in his arms. Him replaying this video before he went to work is one the greatest memories of my childhood
That is a fine memory!
Hey watch the ending (well all of it actually) of Jojo Rabbit
Your Father is a Hero..because he
Likes Bowies. Music.
Nice!
Awesome memory
Dedicated to his son who was 14, his son is currently 49. Surreal.
What would David think of today's events...?
Why surreal?....time passes and this concert was 35 years ago..so of course his son would be 49..you don't have to be Einstein to figure that out. I was 16 at the time and now I am 51...is that also surreal?...just asking
@@thomasandersen6719 jesus take it easy
@@thomasandersen6719 Well, if your rant makes you feel better about yourself, then sure, do it. Also, for a 51 year old, thats extremly childish. You good man? Just asking...
@@anonimus500p6 I was not "ranting"..I was just saying that time passing is not "surreal"...go look the word up:-)
Bowie’s Live Aid set deserves to be in the same conversation as Queen’s, just incredible
This was the best day ever, nothing has ever come close to this. Everyone quite literally loved each other that one day - we were hugging and kissing randoms, no hatred only pure joy and love. Awesome!
Who’s here 33 yrs later still saying Bowie’s the man !!!!
Bryan Pereira meeeee :)
Me too
Bowie's the man!!!

In Memoriam: Matthew Seligman, bass player on stage with David Bowie has passed...April 17, 2020..Matthew Seligman who worked with artists like David Bowie and Thomas Dolby H. Seligman suffered a "catastrophic hemorrhagic stroke" from which he was not expected to recover; Seligman died later that day, aged 64.
I'm gutted about this. Was a big fan of his work as part of Thomas Dolby's albums. Just awful.
T_T. RIP Matthew Seligman.

Hi I'd bless, as we are watching he lives on forever
Killer voice, looks and genre bending performances make him one of the greatest singers of all time.
This man is literally a god, arguably the only performance that rivalled Queen at Live Aid!
My favourite buddy, his songs are deep, thoughtful, the wordplay is excellent.
Layla was better
@@jeff-hd9og your opinion
The hiv meds caused tne aids. Based on a flawed test for hiv which is something that will never kill. Sound familiar? It gets stranger....
Anthony fauci also ran that epidemic. Aids started o the disco scene with poppers a solvent that was used there a poison poisons and mal nutrition cause auto immune disease. The leading virologist wrote a book about fauci masking the tests for early hiv treatments by giving the test subjects 6 transfusions which hid the damage of the treatment and made it look like it helped. The book is called aids the deadly deception it's 500 dollars on amazon which would be how aids kills the poor as the poor can't afford to read the truth. When the first hiv treatments were found to be causing aids it was banned I the us and shamefully sold to Africa. Which makes live aid look like us funding that horrific genocidal act of selling aids causing hiv treatments to a struggling nation. The world we live in is full of alternative agendas to what you remember. If all this doesn't seem strangely like the covid bs and how celebs were brought in to influence us in it all grab a kipper and give yourself a good slap
There is NO argument, Queen were better than anyone that day.
This is proof at how much of a relationship Bowie had with all of his musicians. A gentleman and an artistic genius in every sense of the words
So Cool.... I hope my YT David Bowie Interpretations of his classics make him smile from far far away.
yeah and look how much they are all having by dancing around! Wish I could of been there
I totally agree ... I keep covering Bowie on YT as Space Boy ... sometimes it all goes wrong and the fans let me know ... I keep the car running now at the exit stage one ...
Hear, hear, I concur with you 👍
I worship the guy, but I think he really porked the Spiders with the sudden break-up.
By far the most elegant rock star if not human, of all time.
a true sweetie huh?
Him and George Michael seemed very classy --- always dressed like a million bucks
Well, we need to doff our caps to Mr Bryan Ferry too. And Paul Weller too.
Undoubtedly!

Yo tenía 14 años y vi el concierto en la tv desde México, inolvidable.
I'm here, was a kid watching the best concert ever on tv
Now aged 66 and still wishing I had been there that day .... probably never to be equalled ... pity (((
me 🤍 16 years old and wishing i could’ve experienced the 80s!
Queen fan here. This was a fantastic performance from David Bowie. And he had a ton of charisma. And was so down to earth. David Bowie. Hero. Legend. Forever.
If I could go back in time, I'd push Bowie out on stage ten minutes before this while Queen was on so he and Freddie could sing 'Pressure' together. What a moment that would have been.
Actually there was a break of about 45 minutes between their performances if I remember correctly
YESSS
Mercury and May also did an acoustic performance towards the end of the night which would have been the perfect opportunity but it never happened.
@@triggertitan4336 Bowie probably appreciated it. I can't imagine any performer would have been excited about following that Queen performance.
Oh I got chills reading this...yes! yes! If only, if. But so very happy we have what we do have of these 2 most epic artists!
Audience: “How’s he going to follow Queen....?!”
Bowie: “Observe...”
Bowie: "Hold my beer..."
David Bowie DID follow Queen.
David: hi there.
Sorry, but queen's performance at live aid was exceptional, and bowie cant come close to that.....
Its just live aid tho... bowie is still a top 3 all time singer 😊
Ha ha! No one could have followed Queen on that day ... except the fabulous David Bowie. xx
Stop the madness, stop the war... Peace Love and Rock Music ❤
❤
I just watched the Bohemian Rhapsody movie and the manager mentioned Bowie performed at Live Aid, so here I am! His music has been helping me through some tough 'Changes' lately. Heroes was the perfect song for this event/context
Come back, David. The world is falling apart without you.
So true!!
@@niamunt no, he just understood what it was to be living in a dystopia surrounded by idiots
@@niamunt Don't be a Dick

No its falling apart because people are destroying the planet by there own stupity and destroying humanity by its own greed, hatred and so forth.
"I'd like to dedicate this song to my son, all of our children and the children of the world. " Then proceed to blow the fxcking place away. Just magic - the crowd and band together here.
Introducing his hastily put together band personally was a classy touch. What a legend this man was ❤
I just can’t believe he did this a few months after his brother took his life…. What an amazing man David was❤
I was in an interview and the guy asked me what my number one wish was and I said: 'Man I wish I could swim like dolphins can swim!" You know what he said to me? he said: 'Ya we could be heroes just for one day.' True story. I still work there.
The Bro then everyone clapped
all those bands that sung against the faimne in Africa were heroes just for one day... every people that fights for a proper cause or against a disease or a painful personal prroblem is a hero
I had a chat with an guy in a pub about Bowie. Three days after he was my boss and arranging an 80s playlist for a party he was planning. 😅
What a fantastic story. Just lost someone dear to me so I come on here to cheer up forget whatever you want to call it and your story put a big smile on my face. thank you for sharing.
Where can I apply? :)
Everything about this is outstanding. The old Wembley looks iconic. No mobile phones. Bowie looks and sounds like a god.
We'll never see these times again.
You're right. We won't. I think about it often and it's sad.
Only Bowie could follow Queen.
For a nano second in time, we thought we could make a difference. At least we still have the music..
Of course there’s no phones around. Mobile phones didn’t come until until 30 years after
@@Uliburgh22 We wouldn't have brought them, even if we had them.
Eclettico, elegante, poeta, ha influenzato diverse generazioni....un artista immenso!
Queen and David Bowie sets at Live Aid was absolutely beast. Queen definitely stole the show, but Bowie performed right after and held his own. Thomas Dolby was on as Bowie's keyboard and synthesizer. Best 1, 2 performances of both London and in Philadelphia combined. I remember watching live on TV in the US. 2 performers I would have love to see in person... Freedie Mercury and David Bowie. I tried to see Bowie and the Tin Machine at The Roxie in 89 but it was impossible. The Roxy holds about 450 people and there were like 5000 waiting outside to get in. Thank God I grew up in the 80's. RIP legends.
“We can be heroes, just for one day”

@Alex M Theres a time and place for everything, and its not a time for politics
we all could be heroes just for one day
@@chantellelitmanen7896 That is true, I think that all of us have the strength to be a hero, one day, in one place, or maybe for one person...the kind of strength that comes from the heart.
I can’t accept he is dead. What a legacy.
Respectfully I understand, artist is thrown around so much now.......you know the rest....
Kevin he is not dead. Aliens took him to their planet to study a perfect male human specimen.

Bowie was my hero. I took my son to NYC to pay homage to him and Lennon. Gone too soon.
I've never seen David sweat so much, get so excited, fly so high in front of this overwhelming ocean of crowd
I’ll never get enough of the nostalgic feeling of an era I never lived in, and even if the footages are quite old you can still feel like you’re at the actual concert and it’s a mix of different feelings.
Exactly! Beautiful words, so true! Got the same.
Man I wash I was at live aid 85 😫
@@SubTheHan so do I👍👍
But....I did get to watch it live on tele, here in Australia 👍🧡🧡🧡🇭🇲
I did and it was the best of times I managed a record shop then , never had another job as good I’m 65 now
It's called culture
My bedroom walls were covered in posters of this beautiful, talented iconic legend. I watched this live! I’m 62 but still remember all of it. I am so lucky to have been alive at this time. Queen were also sensational. Rest in Peace David and Freddie. I doubt we will ever see your like again. ☹️
It’s addictive listening to his song, unfortunately artist today have no inspiration and no talent for music. Is this your favorite song??
you're right we won't sadly

That’s awesome 🙂 You’ve got good taste.
@@rookie6185 thankyou:))
I'm 15 and I feel the same. It's a shame i didn't start listening to bowie before he passed away...

You certainly have great taste mate,
Have a great day !

@@t0m755 I wish I had your taste in music when I was your age. It's great that you're already able to recognize the value of an artist like Bowie. His music isn't always immediately accessible. Sometimes it requires repeated listens. Ziggy is incredible! If you haven't listened to it already, I'd highly recommend his early album The Man Who Sold the World. Bowie really liked that album.
I feel the same way. I never really cared to listen to Bowie’s music, but now i keep playing this song, Under Pressure, and Starman on repeat!
I was there as a 20 year old college student best day of my life
Come on Brit1141 let's get a Live Aid I Was There fan club going to compare memories, there must be close to 20 of us commenting on David's performance alone

Bowie is ONE OF A KIND...BRILLIANT in every way!!
Class of 1984 God bless us all Philadelphia USA❤
One of the most incredible performances ever. There is magic happening between the band and the audience. The hair on my neck still stands up all these years later.
I remember this so clearly i was hooking up with a girl that day for some fun if you get my drift & could not wait to see him & the Pretenders MUCH to her disdain ready for some action Ha , golden days.
Agree Joseph. Collectively, there is a consensus that Queen did the best set at Live Aid. I would not disagree with that. However, if there was one song that caught the moment and one individual performance that stood out then it was this incredible one of 'Heroes' by David Bowie.
Not to denigrate Queen's Live Aid performance in any way, but to me David Bowie was the best performance top to bottom, but especially this version of Heroes. That Rocket Man and Bad by U2 were the songs that stuck in my head the next day.
David stole the show ! Hard to believe this was 37 years ago .
I totally agree ... I keep covering Bowie on YT as Space Boy ... sometimes it all goes wrong and the fans let me know ... I keep the car running now at the exit stage one ...
Let's be honest, who could hate Bowie! His voice is amazing is his suit is flying!
1980's suits are quite different from those in 2019 but the suit he is wearing wouldn't seem out of place at all ...
And one of the very few who could make smoking a cig so damn good!
Bowie looked killer in a suit
According with The book " hero" his biography, Bowie ran into Freddie Mercury on backstage AND when Freddie saw David wearing that suit, told him: " if i didnt know You so well dear, i would have to eat You.." so David went to the stage with a Big Big smile on His face ... Lol lol
my dad... so I sing him often, to prove how baddass he was.
The coolest of them all! Would have been 76 today.
Happy heavenly birthday legend 💖 🙏 you will always be a hero to us ❤
This song somtimes saved my life! I was so badly down but than I heard Heroes from the radio and something happened to me. I stood up and from this moment on I was sure that I could be able to manage my life better now. Thank you DAVID BOWIE for this wonderful song!!!
That is awesome. !!!
Man bring back the 80s you can keep this decade....
Just the music nothing else

Love this version of Heroes - 38 years ago, still sounds great to this day! Remember this day very well - Pure magic!
I love that he identified each member of the group and appreciated that they got together so quickly. He was always such a class act, and so sorely missed.
absolutely right top bloke
Only he introduced the backing singers as Helena and Theresa Spring .......... they were, in fact, Tessa Niles and Theresa Springer........

True Class the way He dropped the Spiders .
He did appreciate it and he identified each member of the group.
He's one of those guys who - though he always had that stage presence - age really well, and he actually got more handsome the older he got.
The greatest performance of arguably the most powerful rock song ever, which was of course 100% appropriate considering what these artists were trying to do that day. Still goose-bump-inducing, almost 40 years later. RIP David.
So many legends gone but we still enjoy their legacy...Bowie was one of them.
Has anyone ever looked this good in an 80's suit? Seriously?
no.
David was a “Sharp dressed man”!
George Michael did :)

Nobody realised that Bowie, alive was holding the World together.

Now we're all living a life on mars saying ashes to ashes more often than we ever should.
Here's hoping this time next year we can all just says Let's Dance!
Now we've just got Five Years
Him being gone is unthinkable. Miss him
Live Aid was Queen's show no debate
Bowies smile shows his excitement and appreciation
Hello Bronwynj, how are you feeling today?
Loved Mick Robson and David Bowie. Music from my teen age yrs. Rip in peace.
I like how Bowie gave credit to everyone who performed with him, Respect.
He always did this. He was a gentleman.
He was a really gentleman.
Merlin kitchenware basically
True. He apologised profusely as soon as they left the stage for forgetting the names of the backing singers.
If I was performing in front of 72,000 people in the greatest music event ever, I wouldnt even remember my own name
On the top of my «to do list before I die» I had «hear David bowie perform heroes live». I never got to experience that, and it really makes me sad. My dad went to four David Bowie concerts, the last one in 2004 and he promised me that next time he’d take me with him (I was 7 years old). And then he stopped performing, and there never Were a next time. I was so upset when he died, and I get sad every time I hear this song because it reminds me that I never will have the chance to se him.. rest in peace my hero❤️
Right there with you
Damn same, he now only lives in our memory :(
marte saugestad E
That’s such a bittersweet memory... I never got the chance to see him live as well 😞 I really do miss him
Not only did I hear Bowie sing Heores live, I saw this performance in the flesh. It was incredible.
I could use some 1985 in my 2023! ❤️
Its all about the 80s th-cam.com/channels/qt_uKZe0F4OcEj4vhjRLmw.html

Hello Melissa, how are you doing today?
He was a such a gentleman....Much respect
The energy of the band is fucking incredible. They're partying on stage and it's an amazing thing to behold. Bowie is in his prime here.
I'm reminded of the birthday card Ricky Gervais sent to Bowie, in which he wrote, "Get a job." Bowie replied, "I have a job: Rock God." :) Nice.
Good to know Gervais was always an unfunny shithead getting dunked on.
@@mechkarras They had a great sense of humour together and were good friends. Who are you to call Gervais a shithead?
Ryan Ingham yep exactly. David Bowie appeared on Ricky’s TV show Extras. Brilliant episode
Gervais really wanted to be Bowie when he was a pop singer i.imgur.com/LnyoggO.jpg
@@markbrown7913 During the 70s / 80s name one pop singer who didn't want to be Bowie. He was a hit success as well as being just a genuinely really nice guy which many pop singers with inflated ego's at the time couldn't replicate. Wanting to be Bowie was ultimately an honour I reckon.
for 38 years now, this performance sends tears down my cheek , David is no lost to music to our ears.
An outstanding, cheerful David Bowie and his band brilliant, forever in love ❤❤❤
God, Bowie was such a humble performer. Great voice, presence, you could tell how much he enjoyed his band and the crowd.
"I'd like to dedicate this song to my son, to all our children, and to the children of the world"

Bowie did benefit concerts for whales in the early 70's. Always ahead of his time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
