My friend once said "David Bowie always chooses the best and most talented bands to sing with. Any band he sings with are super awesome!" He was right- NIN, Blur, Arcade Fire, Placebo etc etc have all been joined on stage by Bowie, and all are awesome.
I was there that night @ Wembley Arena. Unfortunately I though id leave a little early to miss to the rush out... only to hear Robert Smith was coming on stage and couldn't go back in. il never forgive myself.
That smile on the Bowie's face when he look Brian.... he seems so proud. his look is full of tenderness and admiration. Like a Dad for his son... So beautiful, so emotional... I love them so much ! 2 legends
Bonjour... J'aime Placebo j'adorais Bowie mais connaissant leurs gout je crois que le regard que vous évoquez est plutôt celui que l'on fait après une bonne baise qu'un regard de fierté que l'on pose sur un cadet... Un peu d'humour n'est pas mortel je pense.
Bowie is singing this with such a feeling and passion. I adore this performance and adore how Bowie's voice is heard from the underneath with very distinct vibrations like a voice you would recognize in million voices. This song resonates with his persona so well, it creates a very Bowie-like atmosphere while staying true to Placebo's style and identity. I adore both Molko and Bowie and consider myself lucky enough to be living when I can enjoy this. Absolutely magnificent, gives me goosebumps every time.
Wow ty for ur honest from ur souls thoughts about a genius I truly admire n miss ,never wi ll I get the privilege of a live show. 50th birthday was out a site ,lights were def Bowie influenced. Genius look it up he's one of a kind....
Well, they were "fabulous" back then indeed. I watched them a couple of months after this show, same black dress and all. First gig of my life and still one of the top-10 I've ever watched.
The great thing about Bowie was he was always happy to experiment, embracing new music styles etc, a humble person who would work with and embrace other artists, This is why he will always be one of the most amazing musicians to have ever graced our earth.
David had a deep understanding about other artists. He felt that they were all working on the same platform, which was expressionist Art. David was not in competition with other artists--the more the better, he told us all.
I just have to write it. Bowie always knew who to 'visit' at a concert... Every time I see this, I look at Bowie's face when it comes at "I take the plan and spin it sideways...". HE'S LOVING IT. THEY BOTH DO! IT'S A TREAT... THANX.
The most humble and self-deprecating music/actor/phenomena that lived within the artistic world . I'm still not over losing him, unique, risqué and such a wise man. He is such a great loss, there will never be anyone like him in the the music/rock scene and a true gentleman to boot.
David was always very generous with his music and his time. No doubt he loved the whole band and the lyrics to this particular song must have spoken to something inside of David...you can see it on his face...
i always tear up at this song, the moment Bowie touches brian's hair and he looks like his child my water broke nevertheless... Bowie was amazing. so humble and lovely
Questo brano è stato per molti anni la colonna sonora dell'amore fra me e quella che fu, forse ancora sarebbe la donna, la dea della mia vita, inseguita per numerosi anni, e poi finalmente coppia per 4 anni.. Ancora a volte, dopo 15 anni ci penso e mi scende una lacrima, quanti ricordi, stupendi favolosi, impareggiabil.. Ciao Valy ❤️
Bon, je peux me "planter ",mais le fait que Bowie chante avec Placebo, j'adore........ L'humilité et le plaisir de la complémentarité, pour moi ça fait un moment magique...... Merci à eux !!!!!!!!
Fantastic. David Bowie recognizes himself in Brian Molko when young. Like his musical godson.. I really think that's the relationship they have. And of course they are great! Both of them, the whole band, Placebo and David Bowie aka Ziggy Stardust. Kinda watched this out of nostalgia, still as fab now as it was back then. And a big fuckin' Thanx U for the music! (no.. no Abba, sorry) :)) xxx
I Só Like when you wrote '*I really think that's the relationship they have' It rhymes with * 'And - of course - occasionally, he fucked him in the ass' You mÚst forgive ME * Maybe I have Gilles de la tourette * RiCkY
I'm 28 years old and watched this video already lots of times within severe years. Brian was 27 yo when this shit happening. I don't know man. If I were him, I will addict drugs too. Feelings.. Feelings are struggle.. It's very powerful. It's a great success for him. Just imagine and replace yourself with him.
As a child of the 70's, the music of the 80's was incredible. So much variety, all fantastic. Then it got sanitized? Dunno. But never seemed the same. Didn't feel like there was much great in the '90's. I was wrong. Discovering Placebo for the first time in 2021. Feel like I was missing out.
Amazing live performance with an amazing collaboration and cause it's the first and you can say that is a historical moment in the music history and scene ever.....!!!!!!!!!A historical music document....!!!!!!
Now I am the same age with molko. I keep listening placebo since 2007. He was singing a song with bowie at my age, what am doing? I am drinking beer smoking weed now... I can't believe it. If I were him, I could be dead now. And that hair touch at 5:38, that was mindblowing and saying lots of things.
You don't have to be popular or talented to be happy. You have your own way, why compare yourself with someone? I wouldn't want to be Brian. I wish we, you and I never had to write such painful, depressing thing as lyrics of this song.
Total worlds collide moment. My fathers teenage idol with my teenage idol. Imagine being in that concert hall and not even realising the moment in music you’re witnessing
I've only recently found this. I wish so much I could talk to my uncle about it. He was the one that had all the music when I was growing up. Too late now. Thanks, David, for the clubs in Manchester when I was 15+.
God! I had a lump in my throat watching... I'm no performer but kudos to Brian for keeping it together with David Bowie on that tune... shheessh. Burned on my cortex.
Its like being at the Vatican and the pope goes ”lets all welcome our special guest GOD”
:-)
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Kkkkkkkk best comment
:)👍🖤
indeed ...
Who else keeps coming back here for this Bowie/Placebo jewel?
Me!
♥️
time and time again...
It's Jan 2024 and I'm still here. ❤
Me ! I love them so much … always and forever ❤️❤️
Imagine going to a concert and David Bowie walks out as a guest
And everyone actually goes crazy
It's happened to me three times!
I went to see Bowie in concert.
Thankfully it was nothing like this!
This is shit!!!
@@koitorob 😂 to each their own
Actually placebo was the guest lol XD
Sadly... I'm never going to be that lucky...🍀😭😭😭 Bowie... he was one in a million 🌿❤️
This was my wedding song...no one liked it but i didnt give a .....my wife loved it

Bowie defending Blur when everyone was overhyping Oasis is only a proof that he knew real talents
And the Incredible Freddie Mercury and Eddie Vedder. ..... speachless. ...
He also joine with Maynard James Kenan in Disco King.
Don't forget His great friend Klaus nomie
He had great taste.
When I saw Placebo in London they got Robert Smith of The Cure to do this song.
omg 💔
class but not Bowie sadly
I was there that night @ Wembley Arena. Unfortunately I though id leave a little early to miss to the rush out... only to hear Robert Smith was coming on stage and couldn't go back in. il never forgive myself.
Lucky man 👍
Peter Murphy would be great as well.
God damn losing David Bowie just hit me again so hard
always will 😔🖤
Same bro
Same here. My goodness, what an artist
5 years later and still hurts. Like losing a relative.
That smile on the Bowie's face when he look Brian.... he seems so proud. his look is full of tenderness and admiration. Like a Dad for his son... So beautiful, so emotional... I love them so much ! 2 legends
Mutual love and admiration, I bet Brian Molko was distraught when David Bowie died.
i bet so god knows.

If Bowie come to the stage to play with you and say that your band is fabulous you can die in peace :)
I would be really scared, though.
@@huskyrescue9014 me too :)
If you're listening to this you truly have a great taste in music
i'm still crying like a baby watching this. something so dark and sad but pure about them both.
U truly catched the point sister... Thank u!!!

U' re right, this song makes me cry and makes me realise how fu..ed up is this life, witout a person u love.... this song is just perfectly exact

Wow, just saw this after Rutger Hauer’s death. Luckily, video will keep these moments current 🎈
Is this related to this video somehow?
David Edwards yep, Bowie is in our memories now since ‘16
@@zoopopzoo Right, I thought maybe there was a more direct reason for the reference. Great film of course.
Bowie said it: it's a fabulous band "placebo"
Well, they were "fabulous" back then indeed. I watched them a couple of months after this show, same black dress and all. First gig of my life and still one of the top-10 I've ever watched.

Smiling with tears in my eyes... wish he wasn't gone
Emotional, haunting, romantic, obscure...beautiful Placebo song...and Immense Mr. Bowie.
Walter Bianco je suis dans la meme émotion !
This Song Deserved SO Much More Attention. Wow.
The moment when you write a song, and Bowie loves to sing it with you on stage. Triple wow!
I was there... missing u so much starman
Wow
Lucky you ❤️
Bowie and Placebo. To much beautiful together ❤️
I love Brian so much and Bowie.. RIP Mr Bowie
Crying like a baby just listening to this🖤

I loved the outfit of Brian ... and the affection! The chemistry between David Bowie and Brian Molko is beautiful
under the wing of a legend that was David Bowie
David was always very generous with his music and his time. No doubt he loved the whole band and the lyrics to this particular song must have spoken to something inside of David...you can see it on his face...
i always tear up at this song, the moment Bowie touches brian's hair and he looks like his child my water broke nevertheless... Bowie was amazing. so humble and lovely
What a performance! Placebo are amazing and Bowie...is immense
Such smiles on their faces. They obviously just loved singing this together.
I love Brian's bend and David's hair stroke in the end, sooo meaningful.

truly the greatest performance I've ever seen. all respect and appreciation to them!
This performance never fails at giving me the chills, truly incredible.
Bowie fits in so well with Placebo it's nothing short of brilliant. Imagine them performing "Brick Shit house"!
Bon, je peux me "planter ",mais le fait que Bowie chante avec Placebo, j'adore........ L'humilité et le plaisir de la complémentarité, pour moi ça fait un moment magique...... Merci à eux !!!!!!!!
Je confirme, j'aime toujours autant !!!!!!!
David Bowie is just so cool always has been !
David Bowie was a fucking beautiful here man being

What a great Moment. David really enjoyed this with Placebo. Miss him so much.
These four octaves of Bowie's voice... Incredible!
Bowie seems to have the greatest time in his life and that's beautiful 😭
21 years after .... remember all these unforgatable moments
What a bass line what a voice and what a placebo
As a child of the 70's, the music of the 80's was incredible. So much variety, all fantastic. Then it got sanitized? Dunno. But never seemed the same. Didn't feel like there was much great in the '90's. I was wrong. Discovering Placebo for the first time in 2021. Feel like I was missing out.
U got old, pal thats what happened
I remember this night. I knew I was lucky back then to see this live. Stabbing Westward was the opener. Damn good night.
Never tired of this song
David bowie says "its a fabulous band placebo" yes I couldnt agree more
What a track. What a band. What an icon.
Puedo escuchar esta canción mil veces y esas mil veces se me eriza la piel
What an honor. What a beautiful collaboration.
One word; Legendary.
Beautiful Bowie oh my how I love him amazing wonderful love this clip ❤️⚡⚡ it made me cry I'll always miss Bowie ....
Bowie loved that, was totally into it. Amazing to see and do happy for the the boys! What a performance. Thanks for the video 👍
nothing less than a fucking historical document.
2 voices sublime
So beautiful, made me cry!
how come this video has such a low view rate? it's fucking awsome!!! David the best....
Because this one has been on here for a long time. th-cam.com/video/c14qMbmP9eg/w-d-xo.html
Probably got deleted and reuploaded. I remember seeing this video 10-15 years earlier. But this one got uploaded 5 years ago.
Два уникальных голоса
i love placebo... i love david bowie... forever
Excellente combinaison des voix de Bowie et Brian Molko. Wow j'adore. C'est superbe et tellement exceptionnel !
Amazing live performance with an amazing collaboration and cause it's the first and you can say that is a historical moment in the music history and scene ever.....!!!!!!!!!A historical music document....!!!!!!
Puro oro!pura magia!EMOCIONANTE de principio a fin.Sonido que duele y da placer a la vez.

Gosh..those dark griefs...a masterpiece..
this is pure gold
If I had been in the audience, I would have wet myself, screamed, or passed out. Knowing me, all of the above in that order. 😂
What a crazy artist David Bowie, we really miss you 🖤
Total worlds collide moment. My fathers teenage idol with my teenage idol. Imagine being in that concert hall and not even realising the moment in music you’re witnessing
I just discovered this song a few days ago, and im obsessed with it. RIP David Bowie!
21 ans après ça me donne encore des frissons , merci Brian , Mr BOWIE repose en paix
My heart breaks into pieces everytime I heard this song from the first time i heard it 20 years ago
Pure gold this video!
Me encanta ver a Bowie disfrutando así de un tema tan hermoso como éste 💖
...δύο ιερά τέρατα της μουσικής...pulling the geek....in a wonderful song...

Sometimes stay sad and happy can be the most beatiful moment in live and turn the same when you listen to this magic moment
david bowie... coolest person ever
How have I never seen this before now?! Fabulous.
anyone noticed bowie doing a molko impression in 5:15?
Without you, I'm Nothing...
My whole body is shaking while listening to this as if having drank excessive espresso on an empty stomach.
Kings of kings! I salute you! Let all the love that you've ever had follow you forever!
I absolutely loved this🥰
5:50: Brian cannot believe what's happening.... xx :)
Great! Gorgeous! Love them. And I miss David Bowie, too.
But he lives in our hearts.
no words for this..
the cheering would not stop when Bowie went on stage, amazing. R.I.P.
If we could all be as graced by time and space to have made a friend like David.
