David Bowie - Space Oddity - Live 1974

  • Space Oddity was originally recorded on the 20th of June 1969, and released, less than 3 weeks later (those were the days!) in early July of that year.
    It was included on Bowie’s 2nd album, called David Bowie, in the UK and, Man of Words/Man of Music, in the US. Later, it was reissued in 1972, with the familiar Ziggy-era look of Mick Rock’s video and accompanying cover photo as, Space Oddity.
    Space Oddity was reissued as a single several times in the 70’s and was in and out of the charts and radio play-lists, throughout the decade. Like a lot of my generation, it was the first Bowie song I became aware of as a youngster. When I went looking for a Bowie record that contained Space Oddity - there it was - lead track on ChangesOne. And the rest of course is (my Bowie) history.
    Space Oddity was performed on the 1974 Diamond Dogs tour. It was included in the set because Bowie was keen to break America and this was a song people knew, unlike the fairly new ‘Dogs material.
    He performed the song above the audience, in a chair mounted on the moving hydraulic arm of a cherry picker. The cherry picker emerged from a pair of doors atop one of the “Hunger City” towers (the one with the phallus) and went out over the first six rows of the audience. It is likely people heard the familiar "Ground Control to Major Tom" opening line, before they realized where Bowie was. As the song came to an end, the chair would return to its position and the final note would see Bowie feign death with his head slumped, before the stage was plunged into darkness.
    The audio used here is from the Tower, Philadelphia in July 1974, and is included on the 2005 remastered David Live album. Like most of the songs on the tour, once one gets used to the soulful and jazzy rearrangements, there is so much to enjoy in the performance, with great playing by the band, and a fantastic vocal by Bowie.
    I sent a preview of this video to Mike Garson. Mike was keyboard player on this and many recordings and performances, throughout Bowie's career. Mike is a super cool guy, and has been very supportive of my Bowie video's. He was good enough to respond:
    “Over the last year I've gotten to know the video editing work of a great Bowie fan who goes by the name of Nacho. He's shared with me this great edit of this live performance from back in 1974. I was so excited to add piano to this version as the original had none. I also got to play mellotron which was a special instrument that the Beatles also used. It's very emotional to see this. David was so loved by his fans and still is - in a very deep way, unlike many other great icons. Please enjoy…”
    The footage used here, is from the Universal Ampitheater, Los Angeles, on September the 5th, 1974. It comes from Alan Yentob’s excellent 1974 BBC documentary on Bowie, Cracked Actor. Evidently, Yentob really knew what he was doing and for the most part Cracked Actor has really stood the test of time.
    The original 1969 audio was dubbed over the Space Oddity footage. And there is the use of, what seems now, dated-looking “special effects” of superimposed flying-through-the-air footage. Was it an attempt, by the BBC editors of the day, to make up for what may have seemed to them, the fairly ludicrous spectacle of a distant and wasted looking man, apparently talking into a large red telephone receiver, sat in a plastic chair, mounted on a hydraulic arm, hoisted above the from rows of the audience? And was the audio redubbed because on the performance of Space Oddity the vocals sound flat and tinny? This may be due to the limitations of the radio mic, hidden in the telephone receiver that Bowie sang into. But also, to me his singing on the L.A. version also sounds rather cursory and disinterested. So one could speculate if after two months of performing the show, he was by now becoming bored of sitting in this tin-can, far above the audience, singing this old material, and would perhaps rather be back on stage moving to the newer stuff?
    Anyway, like those BBC editors over 40 years ago, I’ve tried to squeeze the most out of the material. I’ve embellished it with other moments from the Cracked Actor footage - mostly utilizing enthusiastic spaced-out, young audience members, gazing up adoringly at our somewhat lost and aloof looking Major Tom.
    Hope you dig it!
    Thanks to SK for the video, and to Chris @ www.theyoungamerican.co.uk for historical info.
    Do me an' yerself a favor - watch it in the H’est D available, with the sound UP LOUD!
    If anyone has any other footage, or ideas for another video project, of material from Bowie's classic period, do please get in touch: nachomarcho@gmail.com
    Putting this video together was another huge labour of love, made with respect for the source.
    I don't own the rights, and I'm not making any money out of this etc. Just a fan making videos for other fans.

    As a member of the tech crew for the Diamond Dogs tour, I want to say this was my favorite song. David Bowie was a true performer in the Broadway sense of the word. The show was choreographed from start to finish, with only one break in 90 minutes. Back stage he was serious and disciplined like an accomplished actor. He was a pleasure to work with, and considerate of his crew.

      His 'Young Americans' album had some of his funkiest stuff - 'Fascination' and 'Someone up there...' but my fave Bowie album is 'Station to Station'. 'Golden Years' is just brilliant, while 'Wild is the wind' is so timeless and just sublime. That last track for me is one of his best....even if it was a cover.

      I guess that's why he made such an effortless transition into Acting - as he'd spent his career developing characters that he acted out in his songs.
      He was a singer, actor, and musician. An all round performer - which was rare even back then, but unheard of now.

    This was my first concert when I was fourteen. September 5, 1974. I bought the tickets ($7.50 each) and my older sister took me. I am proud to say that I saw David Bowie on stage nineteen times from 1974 to 2004. How I would love to go back and see those concerts all over again.

      @@dyermaker4731 Yes I did take photos at this show. With my brand new Kodak Instamatic Flash Bulb camera. Remember, this was 1974! I had those photos for the longest time but somewhere along the line they disappeared.
      My favorite Bowie story is from when I saw him at Irvine Meadows on August 13, 2002. He was touring in support of the album "Heathens" as part of Moby's "Area 2" tour. The full line-up of artists that day was a band from Ireland called Ash, the Blue Man Group, Busta' Rhymes, Bowie, and then Moby closed out the day. I was right down front in the pit and after each song Bowie sang I would yell at the top of my lungs the title of a song I wanted to hear. After a while Bowie noticed this and looked at me a couple of times. He didn't play my song during the main set but when he came out for the encore he said to the audience, "We haven't been playing this song on the tour so far, but we're going to play it tonight because this guy really wants to hear it. He was looking right at me. Eye contact. I felt like I had been touched by the hand of a God. And he played the song, "Always Crashing In The Same Car" from the album "Low". My best concert memory from a list of shows that numbers just over 1300 in actual ticket stubs I have saved. D'yer Maker, thank you for the nice reply.

      I think the period of isolation and addiction Bowie felt during 1974-1976 definitely contributed to this era a huge amount. It made his delivery so emotive and soulful and it’s why Station To Station is one of his most lauded works. I think the second, more soul-infused leg of the Diamond Dogs tour (where this performance is from) is extremely underrated these days. The 1974-1976 era has his best vocal delivery ever in my opinion!

    Its always amazing to hear Bowie sing one of his songs but "out of character" (here, the thin white duke singing a major tom era song). Bowie was one of the very few artists capable of doing a cover of his own songs.

      Not the "Thin White Duke" yet. This footage is from the first leg of the "Diamond Dogs" tour, probably shot in Los Angeles in September 1974. (The second leg, starting in October 1974, became the "Soul Tour" and featured material from "Young Americans.") Bowie revealed his "Thin White Duke" persona in North America in early 1976 on the tour to support "Station to Station."

David Bowie didn't sell even half the seats to the Dallas Convention Center. Because there are many FOOLS in Texas.

    come on everybody ! I read only one people who noticed how amazing is the vocal performance ?!? You're all serious talking about everything but not the evidence ?
    This performance is by far oustanding and unusual. Bowie accurately used the slow pace of this version to finally give the song what it should has always been. Space Oddity has met its soul on this night, Major Tom is now floating for real. The vocal rythms leaves me speachless. The melody eacaped the too much 60's original score. It became a pure lyric moment. Thank you Mr Bowie, I could never appreciate Space Oddity another way.

    The 1974 tour was a complete departure from what Bowie had done before. He retired the Ziggy persona and rearranged songs adding horns and a more soul sound. And he added a complex stage setup and dancers, making the show very theatrical. I was lucking to see this tour at the Universal Amphitheater, Los Angeles, where this was filmed (the audio is from a different show).

    Wonderful song. Love the melancholic singing style and using the red phone as a microphone. And the cherry picker to simulate above the moon. Classic song, great musicians, and wonderful theatrics. Would have loved to have seen that concert of post Ziggy Bowie. Halloween Jack was a great character.

    In every generation there is one 😢person who has such a great impact on many millions of other people. You can say it 🆎 about R.I.P. Bruce Lee who won’t be another like him, or R.I.P. David Bowie which on the same way he influenced so many other people that’s really very hard to believe that will be another like 👍🏾 him . And you also can say it about so many other people who are so much attractive by their assertiveness on millions of others . Sadly there won’t be other people who will be such assertive like him .

    From whence you came I do not know,
    The Earth gravitated to your life show,
    In your wildest garb of colour and style,
    You made our world so worthwhile.
    Your music will live for centuries ahead,
    Down through history one will have read,
    Here was a man who touched our lives,
    His musicality forever in eternal archives.
    It was a privilege to see you in Reality!
    You had the gift of unending vitality,
    Farewell our knight in shining star dust,
    Light up the galaxies as we adjust.

    Always loved his music and his incredible creativity.

I think this self effacing habitual shyness was another endearing quality of this often misunderstood genius.
