until the drugs stopped and he got clean in 80s he then became bland and boring and had ran out of ideas to steal and sacked the greatest guitarist and band and clutched at straws the rest of his career
there was a period in Time where all I could do was listen and watch this song. I was a fan of his before watching this, but this made me obsessed with him. the genius in song writing, the theatricality of the performance, stellar voice... David Bowie transformed into a muse of ancient Greek mythology in this song and just completely drew me in. he is one of my biggest inspirations, in my music and who I am as a person today.
+Bendage YES YES YES WHEN I HEARD THIS SONG IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I became obsessed with him too, watching and reading everything i could get my hands on because it is SO genius so powerful, so artistic. i even wrote an essay analyzing the song just for the hell of it
To 3:03-3:28 where he’s cloaked in the dark with his face towards the crowd and back turned to us while the light flashes around his red silhouette. Amazing and just art.
I love 2:27, when Mick, plays guitar over Bowie's body. They were such a cool Duo together. Classic Spiders From Mars. Bowie, was so ahead of his Time, Lalalala Lala.
lets not forget mick ronson he was the sound of the spiders and was a big influence on bowie and other great musicans he produced and worked with many great artists and he's always been my hero love him
"Time" Time, he's waiting in the wings He speaks of senseless things His script is you and me, boy Time, he flexes like a whore Falls wanking to the floor His trick is you and me, boy Time, in quaaludes and red wine Demanding Billy Dolls And other friends of mine Take your time The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain Incestuous and vain And many other last names Oh, well, I look at my watch, it says nine twenty-five And I think "Oh God, I'm still alive" We should be on by now We should be on by now 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 You are not a victim You just scream with boredom You are not evicting time Chimes, goddamn, you're looking old You'll freeze and catch a cold 'Cause you've left your coat behind Take your time Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful I had so many dreams I had so many breakthroughs But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you dreamless The door to dreams was closed Your park was real dreamless Perhaps you're smiling now Smiling through this darkness But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming We should be on by now We should be on by now We should be on by now We should be on by now We should be on by now 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 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, yeah, time!
Porco dio, what an incredible show was that! From start to end. I must have watched it hundreds of times in the last thirty years, and every time it carries me to another world, and a beautiful one.
He creates the best atmosphere for Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From the Mars , the sounds, the red light, his way to act, to be Ziggy. Besides that, this is truly a masterpiece. There is a feeling that it creates that make you obsessed with it. It is unbelievable and beautiful. Just like David Bowie.
Hands down Ronno is one of the best. He adds a special element that can’t be replicated that really makes early Bowie’s music so memorable. Rest in peace my angels!! ❤️❤️
Bowie is just as good live as he is in the studio! Time is definitely my favourite song from Aladdin Sane, I love that sort of opera story telling feel you get through the drama he performs it with. It's hard to put into words, it's just one of those songs that sticks with you.
This version has always been about Trevor Bolder’s bass playing imho. He plays beautifully around the melody giving a depth the studio version lacked. It comes to the fore at 4:41.
I love it when musicians are expressive and playful with their delivery of lyrics the way Bowie was, it is so much more entertaining than a generic sounding performances that are replicas of their generic sounding studio versions. I think its important or else you end up sounding like most people. I like it when artists, for example purposely go a bit off pitch to convey emotion because I know they could sing on pitch perfectally if they wanted to but often its a stylistic choice .
Bowie's most affecting song. It's amazing. Loved it since I was 14. Love it still. That stately bass playing is superb. And Ronson, ofc. The sniper in the brain....
only bowie (especially in his ziggy period,my fav) can express this strange melancholic-pop-rock-savage-artistic-multi cultural-tribal attitude and music...a mix i can't describe but i will forever LIKE.
goddamn you’re looking old, you’ll freeze and catch a cold cause you left you left your coat behind, take your time. breaking up is hard but keeping dark is hateful i had so many dreams i had so many breakthroughs but you my love were kind but love has left you dreamless, the door to dreams was closed your park was real and greenless, perhaps you’re smiling now, smiling through this darkness, but all i had to give was guilt for dreaming. this section gives me chills, i love you forever david, until we meet once again ❤️
Mmm quaaludes not such a great drug. New York Doll Billy Murcia, and indirectly Paul Kossoff both succumbed to them. Sad days. A great performance by Bowie at Hammersmith though.
I was in the crowd at Salisbury City Hall two months before this performance. Although it's the standout memory from when I was 19 years old, it's proved impossible to remember it in all its detail. I'm grateful for this video, otherwise I may have forgotten what he was like 'live' completely. Sad.
Thank you Bowie, thanks for having been part of my life, and of my Youth, and part of my friends' and boyfriend's life and joy. "We should be home by now.............................". I will miss your Poetry. Arianna
To this day The Best Show I have been to in 1973 in Detroit THE SPIDERS FROM MARS I have seen about 200 concerts in m time and this show is still my favorite by far!
I'm always amazed how much he transformed himself from singing children's songs in the late 60s into such a messianic androgynous character called Ziggy in the early 70s. That sudden transformation is what many so called artists try to copy in recent times however not too successfully.
![David Bowie - Moonage Daydream (Live at Hammersmith Odeon, London 1973) [4K Upgrade]](/img/n.gif)
Bowie was like a magnificent exotic bird and Mick was a sexy pirate. Wish I could've seen them perform together, such chemistry!
@DPC Mick Ronson not Jagger
@DPC that's totally irrelevant. It has no bearing on Ziggy and the Spiders.
Oh it is just ridiculous how great a performer he was. Best ever.
YES!
Their final as the spiders
Totally agree
I'm in shock omg
until the drugs stopped and he got clean in 80s he then became bland and boring and had ran out of ideas to steal and sacked the greatest guitarist and band and clutched at straws the rest of his career
"perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness"......
We should be on by now, we should be on by now.
Time is running out for some of us
It's 9:25,,,,I'M STILL ALIVE!!!
Goddamn, you’re looking old, you’ll freeeze and catch a cold, cos you’ve left your coat behind.
@@andalltheangelssay212 Love this!!!! I'm not the only one who remembers!!! Time!!!!
My god Mick Ronson is amazing. The whole band is on fire here.
Fantastic .... I hope my YT David Bowie Interpretation songs make him smile from far far
Ikrr
Absolutely agree ... I'm a one man band playing DB songs on TH-cam and it cheers my soul to the core.
Yes Bowie, of course. But Ronson on this...f ing incredible. He takes it to a whole nother level, right into my heart.
@@cattycorner8 Totally agree ... I cover a few Bowie songs on YT and I always think of Mick whilst playing his lead parts.
2:41 Bowie getting up is the most vampiresque thing ever.
You're right and that's saying something
More than 4:17?
Well, what a compliment!
0:09 So ahead of his 'Time'. David Bowie T-Posing 40 years before anyone else. A true visionary
It was very popular back then.
gotta assert dominance on the haters
isn't Jesus like, the original T-poser?
Anyone notice Mick making his guitar “scream” as Bowie screams at 2:11
wishywish I think that’s Mike Garson on piano.
yup

Merci 👍danke ✌️ thanks 👏
How many moments of utter perfection did Bowie create? Incredible.
At least 2. One was his entire life, a single moment stretched out into 69 years, and the other was that saxophone solo in Soul Love.
@@chrismeadows4216 hahaha true

Yes!
By far!

My hero too 🤩
Yep, my guitar hero till I die
0:56 the clarity in that note when he sings 'demanding' tears me up every single time
"Time"
Time, he's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy
Time, he flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time, in quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time
The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain
And many other last names
Oh, well, I look at my watch, it says nine twenty-five
And I think "Oh God, I'm still alive"

You are not evicting time
Chimes, goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time
Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams
I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed
Your park was real dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now
Smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
We should be on by now

This is a Masterpiece...
This.IS.rock.n.roll.
@@voyagersa22 It ain't genocide
Will there ever be another like him? I doubt it. Bowie was simply marvellous.
Regarding performance, I think Mercury and Jagger deliver something of about the same tier.
And b4 you realised what a performer he was GONE !
NEVER,UNFORTUNATELY
This is quite possibly the single most camp performance I've seen in my entire life...
I bloody love it
2:25 that is stage presence and rock n roll storytelling right there
bowie forever

Bowie had a great eye for others talent.
Ziggy....you gorgeous creature. Goddamn it!! He's just plain fucking beautiful!
Einfach unbeschreiblich. Unglaublich.
Bowie wusste damals schon genau, dass er hier etwas historisches für die Ewigkeit abliefert.
Unbelievable some of the best Bowie lyrics Ever
Hands down Ronno is one of the best. He adds a special element that can’t be replicated that really makes early Bowie’s music so memorable. Rest in peace my angels!! ❤️❤️
this is SO GOOD i love bowie so much
How much love

Like Sweet Thing on Diamond Dogs, all three parts
Oh wow. The magic and beauty of Mick and David in those last few seconds....
Like a Renaissance painting

Possibly the greatest rock concert ever by a single artist or band.
Look how he rises from the ground at 2:40
Amazing.
It's the power in those legs.

Can't stop crying😭
Love your profile photo. "Just like that bluebird . . . ."

Greatest ever sadly missed each day
Poetry. He sings about Billy Doll, quaaludes (a very fantastic drug long ago), the doors to dreams was closed. and so on. He was a wonderful artist.
Mmm quaaludes not such a great drug.
New York Doll Billy Murcia, and indirectly Paul Kossoff both succumbed to them.
Sad days.
A great performance by Bowie at Hammersmith though.
When I watch these videos my Mind can’t comprehend that he is a real person he’s just too perfect
You are not evicting time! best lyric ever written
He was a true performer on stage.
Divine.
0:51 is the best part IMHO going from talking to the crowd to singing about Billy Murcia's death.
😆absolutely
Time takes, renews, recycles and returns. Ziggy Masterpiece.
Ronson makes this for me. I saw this tour at Newcastle City Hall, went to watch Bowie....ended up spellbound by Mick.
0:32 I just love this moment
Bowie’s lyrics are phenomenal
The lord of rock...forever and ever...love Bowie
this song is one of the best. just beauriful. God bless you Mr. Bowie. much love and gratitude for everything you've done
Oh David, can't believe... See you my friend!
Be alive is becoming old- fashoined.
Você é brasileiro?
+Ana Thorpe Sou
Renato Isaque Que incrível ♡ é difícil achar alguém aqui no Brasil que goste de David Bowie, ou ao menos o conheça
+Ana Thorpe Oi Ana, aqui em sp eu tenho amigos que curtem. =)
Renato Isaque Sou de Recife e até hoje não achei ninguém :c só o meu avô conhece e chama ele de "viado".
and all i had to give was the gift of dreaming, we should be home by now. starman you are home now, and you gave us that gift.
One of my favorite songs period
what can one say. the best performer ever
reply to my reply. Bowie the Man
@@kevstergreen7077 I just read that it was written in New Orleans in 1972. I was born in New Orleans in 1972. Nice.
"Breaking up is hard .but keeping dark is hatefull "
Love the look on his face as he finishes his song. Just totally embodying his performance.
2:25 my fav part
so gay ❤️🩹
amazing, would have liked to be with that crowd
Liked?! There is nothing of this mortal world that I would not have given to be in that crowd...!!

First time I noticed the lyric says “I look at my watch, it’s 9:25” and sure enough it really was 9:25 at that moment for me.
It doesn't get any better than this. ❤

My favorite song. An absolute masterpiece.
One of the best song for me from Bowie, I have something in common with that 9:25 part, what a talented artist mr Bowie was.
mick jumpin on bowie for his solo gave me chills
such prolific diversity, to think this man is still creating albums. much love, please tour one last time!

What a performance it was!!
Wow...i remember this song....many years ago...wonderful!!!...love Bowie forever

This is a song of my youth, my husband had a Lp in this years. You are right, Bowie forever
“And all I have to give is guilt for dreaming”
Lovely
This guy has never eaten once. Love Bowie
I could write an essay on how amazing this is, but I know all of you can hear and see it.
I'm always amazed how much he transformed himself from singing children's songs in the late 60s into such a messianic androgynous character called Ziggy in the early 70s. That sudden transformation is what many so called artists try to copy in recent times however not too successfully.
And then he wrote music in the '90s that was more coked out than when he'd actually done coke. The man is a legend of the highest caliber. 😄
Best PopArt Artist ever! Mr David Bowie!
I've been a fan of my whole life I'm 40 odd, He and Mick still astonish me, What a combination that was.
Happy Birthday, David. You are missed.
This is genuinely one of the best live videos. Like ever
MASTERPIECE !!! Amazing Performer
