In '75 I was working at Tower Sunset. Bowie came in alone to buy some albums. No makeup, dressed pretty normal for the times. No one recognized him. I went up to him and said "Bowie incognito". He just smiled and put his finger to his lips. The '70's were great. So many top musicians came in the store without an entourage. Elton, Joni, Stevie Wonder, Led Zeppelin to name just a few.
I believe this too. The saying "Off to parts unknown" comes to mind, except I believe that he is such an old soul that wherever "there" is, he's been there and back and there and back again and there so many times that he probably pretty much knows every cosmic inch of it by now. He's surely still making cosmically amazing music, I agree...
Bowie was one of those gems who actually sounded better live than he did on the album. I'm a millenial who discovered his genius a little late and he is constantly blowing my mind.
Same here! I started collecting his records a year before he died. I was so distraught! Only thing that makes me think death won’t be so bad. I wanna be where Bowie is! ❤️
I hadn't been born when this song was released (it happend more than 10 years later) but it sounds so familiar to me. Amazing record. Bowie is the real starman
It was my 65th birthday a couple of days ago. I was in my first year at Southend School of Art when me and four of my mates took my Mini to see him at Aylesbury. You probably have no idea how subversive and attractive he was then. I so wanted to be like him, but I've always had the build of a rugby prop. Nonetheless he made such a difference to my life and I've done some amazing things because of his inspiration. Now I'm old, fat and retired but still in my heart is David Bowie. Thank you for this gift.
The Spiders from Mars are one of the most underrated bands in the world. The bass lines are killer. Bowie took over a stage so magnetically that the calibre of the band behind him gets a bit overlooked.
Seems closest to the recorded version, in this and it he's communicating in earnest about cosmic grooving, freedom, the Innocence of childhood as a reality beyond adult fear of the mystery of things - the 60s at their best!
sammie antha Bowie was a pioneer of gender bending and was one of the most famous supporters and frontman/womam to the lgbt community back then. The comment he madr is in reference to that.
I was 13 when this came out. I'm 60 now and my respect and appreciation for him and his whole glorious body of work only continues to grow. Musician, singer, writer, actor, painter...he was a bright creative flame.
One of the best. Im a musician, write songs, record play covers too and my 3 Bowie songs I do are Ziggy, Space oddity and All the Young Dudes. But I'm going to learn this one too. On of my favs.
In my opinion, he was in his prime in his early thirties. I love his look during the Isolar 2 tour: he looked so healthy, so handsome and very self-confident. That was his first tour after longtime where he was "David Bowie" on stage, and not one of his characters.
Such, sweet classy guy in spite of being such a brooding, drug crazed, sexually adventurous, musically experimental rock'n roll alien. A basket of beautiful contradictions! Many us forgot he was mortal.
HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO THIS GREAT SONG ENJOY : Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some get it on rock 'n' roll, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase haze That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that's far out so you heard him too Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie.......
Richard F. Kerdasha , thanks for lyrics. It seems like D.Bowie is giving us a progress report on Major Tom, three years after Space Oddity,,and achieved lasting recognition for his efforts as a result… sttgaegoaktd
Just curious, all the lyrics say " let the children lose it let the children use it let all the children Boogie," but doesn't it kind of sound like he says let the children use it let the children lose it but all the children Boogie? Just listen to it again, and tell me if you hear it too. I know I'm wrong, but it almost sounds like that's what it says instead of the actual lyrics. Kind of freaking me out
Thanks for lyrical it's great work and video is great it's easy to find fault in old school technology but it was certainly raw and rough but totally different from what we expect from artists Today
Not only was Ziggy ( Bowie) a HUGE TALENT and influence on rock, but,he was surrounded by GREAT musicians..... especially Mick Ronson who should have been inducted to the HOF right along with Bowie!!!!!! Great CLIPS
For those who didn’t know; Bowie wasn’t that famous outside of the UK in 1972 and at first several of the shows he had in the US were cancelled due to lack of attendance. It actually took a while for the world to appreciate Ziggy Stardust; luckily they eventually did!
He looked a bit nerdish back when he was around 15 to 18 years old. Never would have thought for a minute he'd end up being so drop dead GORGEOUS! I think his naturally super high cheek bones made him look even more beautiful 😍. Miss you forever.....awwww why did you have to leave us?? The world is much worse off without you in it!!! RIP😘💕
Bowie was a classic, brilliant, trail blazer,, pioneer and a super hot sexy legendary man that had both men and women captivated by his talent and fearlessness....
Thank you for this video and for keeping the spirit of David alive. Been a fan since I was 12, I am now 57. Jan 10, 2023 - seven years since his passing. Will always love you, David and thank you for your brilliance and heart.
This editing is beyond astonishing! Amazing job and so nice to have stumbled upon this alternative perspective of this song. Thank you for the hard work.
I'm a sculptor, and when I sculpt musicians, I tend to hear their songs for weeks beforehand, with Freddy Mercury it was constant Bohemian Rapsody, with Gene Simmons it was constant Strutter, with Marilyn Manson I was bombarded with The Reflecting God so I sculpted them, now I'm haunted with Star Man by David Bowie, guess he will be my next sculpture
Missing you David...in 2020...you and Lou, Freddie and a ton of others...but really, really missing you, because we met by chance, and you were so gracious and kind on that day in 1979. Your legacy lives on mate.
I finally got to see him in 1990, but it was an outdoor venue and he was so far away I couldn’t even see him. They had screens on both sides, but it wasn’t the same. I wish I could’ve seen him in a smaller place. 😢

Seine Musik hat mich zu der Zeit, als ich ein Teenager war (Ende der siebziger Jahre), immer begleitet, und bis heute. Ich bin immer wieder traurig, dass er nicht mehr unter uns ist. So ein wundervoller außergewöhnlicher Mensch. Seine Musik hat mein Leben bereichert.
July 2022 in the UK heatwave wondering if there will ever be anything like this again. I was born in 1980 and im still waiting for music to be as good from the 60s to the 90s, Apart from a few!!! You know who you are. 2022 kids!!!! Please for the love of god make something your own.
I'm listening while there's a pandemic in June/2020, and I'm so anxious and sad, so many deaths, but this kind of music show me there'll be better days. Thanks David, RIP.
When I was at the worse of my depression I played this song on repeat. It really helped me out. I have an undying love for his music because of this song. Peace and love friend.
When he died my living daughter- I lost my darling girl to cancer-a beautiful spirit- but the living one KNEW how hard this was going to be for me. She knew of my respect and love for his talent. Thanks again, Mark Sussex.
This was the summer when as a 12 year old I discovered David Bowie and became a life long fan. He was always there in my life and (as someone so aptly commented elsewhere here) he was my friend I never met. This is an incredible video Mister Sussex, so brilliantly woven together, you've done fantastic work on this. I could even feel I was there at those shows which were just a few miles away but sadly I was too young and I was not.
I know how you feel, for me David Bowie has become more poignant as the years have gone by. You say something very apt, when you say, "he was my friend I never met". When he died Kate Bush said "he was ours" and both of you have summed up how I felt about him. He was woven in with my whole life, especially as a teenager. It hurts that he has gone, but he lives on in so many. ❤️
I remember singing this song over and over in the spring of '77 and someone signed my senior yearbook mentioning my love of this song. Genius. Oh and Ziggy landed in a London pub 50 years ago this past Thursday.
Oh man, I happened to be rocking some great headphones when I listened to this. Thank God I was. When that kick drum kicks in, ahhhhh! Talk about 'out front'! What a deliciously absurd mix this is. I really love it. Mick Ronson's backup vocals are excellent. Thanks for this, Mister Sussex.

I had the pleasure to see him preform this in his Diamond dog tour, in Montreal. This man was the foundation for all who came after. So many bands had something of this trailblazer in them. The New York Dolls for example. I know he worked with Eno..another brilliant mind. Brian is brilliant. His changes n persona will never be duplicated, though many many had tried through the Glam rock era. He was a chameleon. Ziggy the thin white Duke..and Labyrinth the child's movie. Now who could forget that? I know every mother with children at the time would watch over n over n over with them. Lol! If u have never seen it..please take the time to new Mom's u see and understand what I mean. Throughout the generations he stood for. Still I mourn him. I believe I always will. Intelligent and very deep thinker. Pacifist all around great man. Iman was the best thing that happened to him..n vice versa. The two souls connected. I could not imagine her loss. His children well rounded beautiful people. He was shy, never arrogant. Brilliant behind the scenes n in front. He was very much loved. He will always be Bowie. I love the man n music. No David this is not Moon age daydream. You have the real deal. Your home!May your soul rest n know..just how much u meant to so many people. I believe you do. Ur perspective so much clearer. Always, Always in my heart❤. There u shall stay. Love u!
Wow you naild it but keep it short next time love! Few people will read the text if its to long. You describe it well though. Yes, people today dont realize how much before his time he was. Glamrock, punkrock, new romantics..
The intro and opening verses to this song are so perfect for the time and place and scene that Bowie was in. Like a drug induced fantasy or sleep walk from some random party or gathering where you didn't know anyone and woke up without any bearing as to time or day. He lived it of course but also chronicled it so well in his lyrics and music. He puts you in that scene even if you were not alive at the time or aware.
Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust were Bowie's best period. 2 classic albums, plus he helped Mott The Hoople with All The Young Dudes, with Mick Ronson produced Lou Reed's classic Transformer and produced the Stooges Raw Power. Everything he touched around this time turned to gold.
After watching The Man Who Fell to Earth, I get why you call youself ''Mister Sussex'', great video. You're amazing for sharing with us Bowie fans such hidden gems.
I will never forget seeing him on TOTP with this song. I was transfixed as was my mother. She was about 52 at the time and thought he was just so beautiful. I miss them both. ❤️ Mr Sussex, thank you for uploading this. These days mean a lot to me.
David Bowie, Прекрасен и очарователен! Хочется смотреть и слушать всегда! Талантище на все времена! Голос -- узнаваемьій и неповторимьій! Суперзвезда! Всемирная любовь поклонников навсегда! 🥀🥀💓💕 Октябрь 2020 г, Украина.
sent chills down my spine,thanks so much!great to hear Ronno's backing vocals so clearly.I was 14 when this came out,I'm 64 in a few weeks but still say this is my all time favourite album.
When they meet each other, David and Mick, Rock and Roll could finally happen the way woul not be possible agaisn untill nowadays. Awesome moment not only in classical seventies Rock and Roll time but since then untill forever. Indisputably at all. Videos are incredible.
David, desde que nos dejaste, esto ya no es lo mismo. Te añoro cada dia y paso horas viendo tus videos y escuchando tu música. Gracias por haber estado aquí y ser tan genial. Te adoro😢
fantastic , thank you so much....from a hardcore Bowie fan. I understood and related to the man, his music and his art. He was an exceptional human being ......gifted in songwriting, multi-instrumentalist, art, modelling and acting, fashion design, acting and was blessed with one of the most incredible voices....truly a British Elvis.
Elvis did not write his own songs! Just had the great Voice and Looks! Think Bowie trumps Elvis overall, having Voice, Looks and the Imagination to write all his own works (Not to mention the Acting Skills and Artistic Endeavours on the side)! ★⚡(◕‿◕)⚡★ 🎸

Bowie didn't really die, he just transformed into a being of pure energy and is flying across the cosmos making cosmically amazing music.
I believe this too. The saying "Off to parts unknown" comes to mind, except I believe that he is such an old soul that wherever "there" is, he's been there and back and there and back again and there so many times that he probably pretty much knows every cosmic inch of it by now. He's surely still making cosmically amazing music, I agree...
Hey, that's far out...
He transcended life on Earth long ago; he's just on another level.
now he's telling 2 neutron stars how to orbit each other
Really! I believe! He alive in other space!

I wish he would come back down to Earth.
He was the whole package, looks ,talent and charisma for weeks. There will never be another.
This has to be the best version I’ve heard
Yeah. Sounds great. Thick. Punchy. Fun.
Ikr it’s my fav song and I would die to hear it for the first time again

I like this, but I'm not quite sure if many of those are contradictory... remember the saying/ mantra "sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll!"?
A lot of the greatest artists are full of beautiful contradictions. I think that is what inspires and drives them to create such amazing art.
Got that right!!! Too bad,he left us....
Yes, it makes "your" life seem boring as hell . Doesn't it ?!
Indeed
The sound on this video/ recording is amazing- you would never say it is more than 40 yrs old
It's one of those songs that gets better each time I hear it
How could anyone dislike this? You beautiful starman.
Some asshole could!
There probably fans of the thin white Duke
Dana Nemet 300+ autotuned hip hop “artists” are suddenly feeling empty inside and dont know why haha!
I don't dislike it .. but it came immediately after Moonage Daydream. M D was the knock out track for me.
INcivil Service No need to bash on other artists, negativity doesn’t need to be brought in to Bowieland :)
HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO THIS GREAT SONG ENJOY :
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some get it on rock 'n' roll, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase haze
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us

Denada.
I'm listening while there's a pandemic in June/2020, and I'm so anxious and sad, so many deaths, but this kind of music show me there'll be better days. Thanks David, RIP.
I never thought I'd need so many people
When I was at the worse of my depression I played this song on repeat. It really helped me out. I have an undying love for his music because of this song. Peace and love friend.
Watch MonaLisa twins' cover of this song and get your spirits uplifted guaranteed.
You've been scammed man.
When he died my living daughter- I lost my darling girl to cancer-a beautiful spirit- but the living one KNEW how hard this was going to be for me. She knew of my respect and love for his talent. Thanks again, Mark Sussex.
Mister Sussex,
Great video you put together. Thanks for sharing with us fans. ✌🏼
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like David Bowie
This was the summer when as a 12 year old I discovered David Bowie and became a life long fan. He was always there in my life and (as someone so aptly commented elsewhere here) he was my friend I never met. This is an incredible video Mister Sussex, so brilliantly woven together, you've done fantastic work on this. I could even feel I was there at those shows which were just a few miles away but sadly I was too young and I was not.
I graduated High School the year this came out!
I know how you feel, for me David Bowie has become more poignant as the years have gone by. You say something very apt, when you say, "he was my friend I never met". When he died Kate Bush said "he was ours" and both of you have summed up how I felt about him. He was woven in with my whole life, especially as a teenager. It hurts that he has gone, but he lives on in so many. ❤️
I miss him
I remember singing this song over and over in the spring of '77 and someone signed my senior yearbook mentioning my love of this song. Genius. Oh and Ziggy landed in a London pub 50 years ago this past Thursday.
After 69 years God said "that's enough David, let someone else be great now'
Still waiting.
Наше сокровище, человек с Земли, который смог дотянуться до звезд ❤
И продолжает освещать нашу жизнь до сих пор 💫
Crisp..clean..pure David Bowie..rest in peace, brother
I could watch this video in loop for the rest of my life
Oh man, I happened to be rocking some great headphones when I listened to this. Thank God I was. When that kick drum kicks in, ahhhhh! Talk about 'out front'! What a deliciously absurd mix this is. I really love it. Mick Ronson's backup vocals are excellent. Thanks for this, Mister Sussex.
Starman on a Black Star! He blow my mind....
Hey la-la
Oh, oh, oh
Didn't know what time it was
The lights were low, oh, oh
I leaned back on my radio, oh, oh
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ
That was hazy cosmic trace
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Muy muy avanzado para su época... mis respetos para el master Bowie...
I had the pleasure to see him preform this in his Diamond dog tour, in Montreal. This man was the foundation for all who came after. So many bands had something of this trailblazer in them. The New York Dolls for example. I know he worked with Eno..another brilliant mind. Brian is brilliant. His changes n persona will never be duplicated, though many many had tried through the Glam rock era. He was a chameleon. Ziggy the thin white Duke..and Labyrinth the child's movie. Now who could forget that? I know every mother with children at the time would watch over n over n over with them. Lol! If u have never seen it..please take the time to new Mom's u see and understand what I mean. Throughout the generations he stood for. Still I mourn him. I believe I always will. Intelligent and very deep thinker. Pacifist all around great man. Iman was the best thing that happened to him..n vice versa. The two souls connected. I could not imagine her loss. His children well rounded beautiful people. He was shy, never arrogant. Brilliant behind the scenes n in front. He was very much loved. He will always be Bowie. I love the man n music. No David this is not Moon age daydream. You have the real deal. Your home!May your soul rest n know..just how much u meant to so many people. I believe you do. Ur perspective so much clearer. Always, Always in my heart❤. There u shall stay. Love u!
Wow you naild it but keep it short next time love! Few people will read the text if its to long. You describe it well though. Yes, people today dont realize how much before his time he was. Glamrock, punkrock, new romantics..
What was the lead guitarists name.?
Mick Ronson
💙💫🙏🏻🌈
The intro and opening verses to this song are so perfect for the time and place and scene that Bowie was in. Like a drug induced fantasy or sleep walk from some random party or gathering where you didn't know anyone and woke up without any bearing as to time or day. He lived it of course but also chronicled it so well in his lyrics and music. He puts you in that scene even if you were not alive at the time or aware.
my fav song by bowie in my fav era
Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust were Bowie's best period. 2 classic albums, plus he helped Mott The Hoople with All The Young Dudes, with Mick Ronson produced Lou Reed's classic Transformer and produced the Stooges Raw Power. Everything he touched around this time turned to gold.
I'm 55 and this might be best ever musical performance I have ever heard . its 9pm and I'm fucking crying cuz its so fucking beautiful
Che classe! Che eleganza.. star indimenticabile
Saw him 8 times mostly at The Garden in NYC never surpassed. ❤❤❤
The most unique man on earth , you influenced generations and still do , THANKYOU , RIP ZIGGY STARDUST X
2:00 ‘If he can +*.sparkle.*+ he may land tonight’
I love David Bowie so much I don’t think it’s healthy.......
This was the music we grew up with. Playing in the parks or on the streets no internet and we felt sooooo freeeeee and imaginative.
Linda demais 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ❤️ Triste saber que o cantor já não vive mais ! Esses marcaram gerações !
E eu que ainda não me acostumei com essa ideia 😢😢😢
David was one of a kind and thank God for that. Everything he did was an inspiration to so many and he will always be sorely missed.
Absolutely. For every occasion of life, there is a perfect Bowie song to bring depth and understanding to the experience. Take care my friend.
Saw David in Tribeca many a days. What an absolutely lovely man..
Hi from Saint-Petersburg, we love him!!❤
Who’s still listening to this amazing track in 2019 🤩👨🏼🎤
pandaroc1 a legend.
pandaroc 1 Me! Will be in 2020 for sure...
Great song and love Mick Ronson's guitar in the last minute. They were such a great team!
We all are, my friend....always...😊

Great stuff, I'm 57 and I will show my 5yr old grandson what music really is about

Yes, Mr. Sussex...love from SanAntonio, Texas
So amazing performer and singer and music writer
This sounds so raw and better than the studio version tbh.
David .....waiting in the sky ❤❤❤
I beat the world record for watching this video 1000 times
I'm going to catch up 🤣🤣🤣
Fucking awesome work mate - so nice to see footage I've not seen before from 72 in particular. Magic
There is no one who can compare to David.... end of
I will never forget seeing him on TOTP with this song. I was transfixed as was my mother. She was about 52 at the time and thought he was just so beautiful. I miss them both. ❤️ Mr Sussex, thank you for uploading this. These days mean a lot to me.
Sweet for U 👍😘
Think that was a performance which was life changing for many of us
@@DavidTransformer I'm plugged in to Bowie a lot lately,yes he affected me in a way I can't describe xx
AbsofreakNlutely agree! I was 11 and Mom and I saw him on Midnight Special!
The true rawness of this masterpiece draws me in. One of the best live performance I have ever seen!!!
Hardly crying listening, thinking , remembering
David Bowie,
Прекрасен и очарователен!
Хочется смотреть и слушать всегда!
Талантище на все времена!
Голос -- узнаваемьій и неповторимьій!
Суперзвезда!
Всемирная любовь поклонников навсегда!

Mick Robson on lead...sublime! Superb!
When they meet each other, David and Mick, Rock and Roll could finally happen the way woul not be possible agaisn untill nowadays. Awesome moment not only in classical seventies Rock and Roll time but since then untill forever. Indisputably at all. Videos are incredible.
Groovy bass. Much better than the bootlegs. And Ronno's guitar ! Nobody has replicated that sound
David, desde que nos dejaste, esto ya no es lo mismo. Te añoro cada dia y paso horas viendo tus videos y escuchando tu música. Gracias por haber estado aquí y ser tan genial. Te adoro😢

fantastic , thank you so much....from a hardcore Bowie fan. I understood and related to the man, his music and his art. He was an exceptional human being ......gifted in songwriting, multi-instrumentalist, art, modelling and acting, fashion design, acting and was blessed with one of the most incredible voices....truly a British Elvis.
Michele Romeo wrong. he was a universal david bowie.
Elvis did not write his own songs! Just had the great Voice and Looks! Think Bowie trumps Elvis overall, having Voice, Looks and the Imagination to write all his own works (Not to mention the Acting Skills and Artistic Endeavours on the side)! ★⚡(◕‿◕)⚡★ 🎸
