2:04 - Asking the sound engineer in the middle of an absolutely tight performance to amp up his backup singers says it all about the kind of gentleman Bowie was.
I only just plucked up the courage to listen to this again, he was my dad's idol, I grew up listening to Bowie through my dad, and I love him, my dad passed last year and I still haven't anywhere near got used to that or even grieved properly😥 I salute you all who also love David.
I find it way easier to get over a loved one when they leave you a shit load of money, if this is the case with you ,then you'll probably find you will do your grieving when the money runs out, good luck buddy.
When he died, I watched this video 4x a day for weeks. I just love how he fucking cool he was. That solo section where he’s clapping and smiling and then that kick. He always commanded the best musicians, and this band played this song in such a unique way. Really one of my favorite live Bowie videos.
@@AraCod It aint Gail on this version. Gail is on guitar doing a superb job. Bass player needs to chill. Too much man !!! When Gail plays this its sublime. Dunno who this is.
To me, this is the best version of this song that exists. Their drummer especially was really grooving, quite difficult to play the song on drums exactly the same. I recently found this song and I am incredibly happy that I did!
I am a Bowie fan, and I love this song, and I heard many of them live and as you say, this is the best live version of this song of all the ones I heard.
Can you hear me Major Tom ?... Oh no, don't say it's true ! But Ziggy is nowhere to be seen, I'm yelling no and praying you please don't go... This morning, I was driving my car and then, the radio stopped, and they said "we just know that the great David Bowie passed away". I nearly had a car crash. After the shock, I'm now crying while watching this. Thank you dear David/Ziggy/Major Tom, you changed my life. I will never forget your incredible eyes and look. Thank you again. Miss you beyond measure. Have a nice trip, Major Tom.
There was a David Bowie and he made it beautiful which was a gracious gift. I used to sleep w/ his picture under my pillow. My hero. Forever part of us....
+Linda Whalen I loved him too, from the time I was a misfit teenaged girl(with the mousey hair!) and I am still in pain so I understand what you are feeling.
So true. I saw him coke up in the 80s and it was not a bad concert, but he looked miserable and barely said a thing. He was amazingly engaged with and warm towards the audience when I saw him in the 90s and especially in 2004.
_“The filming was interrupted at one point by an old man walking his dog, looking for driftwood. Mallet asked him if he wouldn’t mind moving, and pointed out Bowie sitting outside the catering van. ‘Do you know who this is?’ he asked. Sharp as a tack, the old man responded with, ‘Of course I do. It’s some cunt in a clown suit.’ Sometime later, Bowie remembered, ‘That was a huge moment for me. It put me back in my place and made me realise, “Yes, I’m just a cunt in a clown suit.”_ *Dylan Jones, David Bowie: A Life*
Who else thinks that this was shot in a style ahead of its time? The camera sharpness, focus, angles, context, everything--looks way newer than 2000. To say nothing of the fact that this is my favorite Bowie song.
What is it with this maudlin trend on TH-cam comments of people picking songs for their funeral--as if a funereal is some music video or Wes Anderson film
+Flowerdoodle2 some people look at a funeral as a celebration of ones life. However if I heard this song at a funeral i'd be forced to draw conclusions as to how that person died...
spooninspoon When did you ever go to a funeral and NO know how the deceased passed away? "Celebration of One's Life"? And you were just yapping about "maudlin" trends? Imbecile. But, humor me and tell what conclusions you would be forced to draw?
I was always a Bowie fan, and being a d.j. I thought I would probably get to meet him as I did many musicians, instead I met him in the oddest of settings, near my home, at a swimming hole in Woodstock. I noticed him the way I notice most attractive famlies. and we nodded, and smiled at one another. As the day wore on, He walked toward me, and as soon as he got close I realized who he was, by the eye color and the accent. "Excuse me, he said , but my family and I are moving, would you happen to know where I might get some boxes?". Well I guess you could try the liquor store, they always have a lot and usually give them away free". Ahh the liquour store, what a great idea"! he said I never would've thought of it". We talked a bit more ,_ ( about what we had in common, family, a love of music, me a d. j. with some backup singing, acting, me a few small parts in independent films, his including the 80 's film "The Hunger" , he was surprised and happy that I remembered it. After signing a tshirt for me, we all started packing our things up, and he said I hope to see you again, but something tells me I will hear from you in the future. I hope so I said, I' d like to make a film someday" " Well I belive you will, but in any event , you' re a star now". Thank you, that mean' s a lot coming from you. And it did just goes to show you we are all stars, and most important of all, David Bowie was a rarity, a star, an actor, a performer, musician, familyman, gentlemen, friend, and well I could go on and on, but I like to think he was and is of another world, one where he has returned to live ,still shining bright! Thank you David for a wonderful day, and all the wonderful art and music you have left behind. My family, my friends, and WKARMA RADIO will never forget you.. Your music will never cease to delight us all. I'm Maribeth, and I. hope you are all safe and warm, sorry weekends over, but I will try to keep the party going, heres David kicking off some great music, remember when there are no stars in the sky its cause we are all on the street! 😘
+Julie Evans : yes he was a lovely person, very kind , and down to earth,( kinda. funny that he played the man who fell from earth,( lol) .. I really enjoyed the time I spent with him, and his family( they all seemed very happy and sweet too). I will always cherish the fact that I got to meet a living legend and that he turned out to be all I admired and more. Thanks for. writing.😘
+Maribeth That is an excellent story and so glad that he turned out to be as much of a gentleman as I had hoped. Thanks for sharing! If anyone does a biography on him, your story should be in it!
+elucid8 Thank you for a lovely compliment. DAVID BOWIE FAN'S (OF COURSE, WHO ELSE) ARE SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL PEOPLE I' VE HAD THE PLEASURE, TO HAVE GOTTEN MAIL FROM. I'm sorry that I forgot ,your name, but to the lovely lady, I think your name is Paula, You said I sound like a b
One word to describe David Bowie ; Grace . He was just full of Grace . The World certainly could use more like him . I miss him so much ! Rest In Peace David .
The front man of all front men. 2023 and he remains the gold standard- Uber cool. The counter melodies and textures- so beautiful. Heavily nuanced music. If I could come back as any musician… David Bowie.
Since David's passing I've spent a good amount of time learning more of his wonderful music he left for us to enjoy, and these TH-cam performances we are fortunate to watch. I watched and read interviews and was a bit turned off by interviewers over his career who in some way inferred he does not have a 'real' job as 'we others do' or similar references. Each time somehow David insisted he was dedicated and worked for a living. He never had to justify himself to such comments but I'm glad he did. He worked for a living starting from the bottom working his entire career as an artist and was so great he climbed to the top of the mountain.
David Bowie was from another world!! Just look at this performance, he's having so much fun and is fully enjoying himself on stage. He was such a wonderful human being and it always showed in his live performances. (recommend you to watch the entire live by request performance) Bowie is by far my all-time favourite artist, throughout his long career he made so many amazing songs and touched many different genres. Besides, he had this amazing personality which made him, in my eyes, immortal.
Fantastic version of this song. Worth listening to multiple times -- you'll hear new things. Bowie's voice was right on, the backup singers were wonderful, and then there's that bass player. Easily one of my favorite bass performances of all time. And he wasn't even the regular bassist!
A brilliant & Amazing Man ... Totally agree ... Absolutely ... and then I try to cover a few songs as Space Boy . on YT ... hahahaha .... what a laugh.
I think I was feeling particularly emotional that day, but I still agree with what I've said. There are a few great bands and musicians, I just think it's a little rare..
Напишу по-русски, есть ли кто из наших? Господи, он прекрасен!!! Я влюбилась, я в восторге, я в восхищении! Искренность, актёрское мастерство, живость исполнения - это не каждому дано!
"They say you die twice one time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time" People will never stop saying David Bowie, he is forever immortalised.
David Bowie, a songwriting genius and a true Gentleman. I love this song and this live version is fantastic, until the keyboard solo, the original solo had a hauntingly beautiful melody with a synth sound that matched. This solo sounds like a piano player practicing their scales with a “that’ll do” synth preset. Other than that, this is an awesome live version of a brilliant song. rip David Bowie, thank you for your creations.
I don't know why I never found this sooner. This is absolutely the best and most outstanding version live. I just keep playing it over and over and over. David Bowie at his best! Phenomenal!
I'm only 23 but so upset about music these days. So I'd rather listening to music like this. I kept my hope till the day of his death to see this wonderful inspiring human being live someday. I'm from switzerland but I swear I'd go to any place on earth to see this legend. And now this dream is something that will never happen. But I keep my hope in music, that it will somehow find the good way again. I'm jealous of everyone who had the honor and joy to live/growup/being teenie during these awesome times between 60-90. Someday when I'll have children I will introduce them Bowie as early as possible.
+mandoholikerin HI mandoholikerin .... I have spent the last 72 hours reading/devouring tributes/articles/music clips/interviews .... just so damn unbelievable that David Bowie is gone. I was scrolling through here reading comments and if it is any consolation, I am sorry you never had the chance to see Bowie in concert.I was so lucky to have seen him a dozen times from 1974 through 1983. Here's my story from the first show on the Diamond Dogs tour in Detroit Michigan: David Bowie - Cobo Arena, June 23rd,1974 - Diamond Dogs Tour. I borrowed my Mom's Instamatic, and had front row seats. This concert is what hooked me on photography !!! This was at Cobo Arena. June 23rd, 1974. This was my 9th concert that I had attended.There were about 6 or 8 of us and we had Tier B tickets. I was stoked. My Mom gave me her Instamatic to take to the show, as she knew how much I loved Bowie. I started wandering around and walked onto the main floor, with no one asking me any questions at all. I walked right past the usher at the end of the 1st section and strolled right up to the front of the stage. I was there for about 2 minutes looking around, and a guy to my left in the 1st row, was tapping the empty seat next to him and said, "Do you want to sit here"? I sat and asked if the seat was taken, and he told me that the seats were comp from a connection, his friend couldn't make it, and the seat was mine. The lights suddenly went out, he tapped my shoulder, slapped me five, and said "Welcome to the front row, enjoy the show". What a way to see my rock hero !!! And I had my Mom's Instamatic. Fabulous show ... excellent seats, a wonderful memory !!! Let me tell you, the experience of going to a Bowie concert was incredible. I feel so fortunate to have seen David Live !!!
+timishere1925 Thanks !!! This was my 9th concert overall, and 1st Bowie concert. My older brother David, ( I am #2 of 8) brought home the Ziggy Stardust LP after hearing it from a friend. He then brought home Hunky Dory about a week later, and we got MWSTW a month later. I was 15 that Summer of 1972, and 17 when Diamond Dogs was released. I bought Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups when they were released in 1973, and I was so impressed with Bowie's music, his fashion, his artistry. Found a bootleg of the Ziggy Tour at a local record store, and was blown away with the live sound. My brother Daniel, who was14 months younger, we bought cool flared jeans to go along with our 4 inch clogs that we walked miles in. LOL My sister Diane,#4, always heard me playing Bowie, she 12 in the Summer of 1972, and she and I were talking this week about how Bowie was ingrained in our musical blood for so many years, and what a great loss it is.
+denrosz No, it's one of my biggest regrets. I feel fortune to have something such as this on video, although I realize it doesn't begin to compare with seeing him live in concert. You're a very good story teller. I love hearing about the fashion, etc. You're really able to paint a picture with your words. Thank you again.
It's so lovely to see him so happy! And he said in an interview that he doesn't even like to perform. Maybe because it's because it's such an intimate venue. I could see how they might like the intimacy of that-same as _adore_ seeing artists in smaller venues & not arenas.
Oh baby he's so sweet. But honestly how somebody can look THAT good in their fifties? Incredible concert, this song is so good, it's one of my favorites. David Bowie is the man, one of the greatest and most magnificent personages in the world of music (and not only) ever. Such a shame he's not with us anymore. I wish I could've seen him live.
My favourite Bowie track. But man he's gotten so old over the last 15 years...wow, the millennium was 15 years ago already! Time really waits for no one.
+Largactyl Kid He defintely knew his fate in these last videos,,horrible. He was relatively a young guy,,I saw him a couple times live in the 80's.I was hoping to see him one more time,,

Exactly how I always saw him.
I couldn't have said it better 😔
I'm happy hope you're happy too
David spirit is still buzzing around, catch him if you can 🤩👏👏
When he died i had a tears....and im a rocker.....
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
Yes, after listening to this. Yep.
2:04 - Asking the sound engineer in the middle of an absolutely tight performance to amp up his backup singers says it all about the kind of gentleman Bowie was.
Nice note, and must agree, absolutely tight.
Well spotted i just checked too and cant belive the amount of times ive played this lol,and never even noticed that!...
He looks so.happy here..so happy
Touche
That's true, but this sound engineer is amazing too.
It's 2024! This rendition never loses it's luster, still just as impressive as 2000!
damm right !!!
That bass is absolutely perfect
BASS
its annoying the hell out of me !! hahaha.... calm it down!!!
Yeah that dude on the bass is the force behind this song. Incredible.
Top bass player

I only just plucked up the courage to listen to this again, he was my dad's idol, I grew up listening to Bowie through my dad, and I love him, my dad passed last year and I still haven't anywhere near got used to that or even grieved properly😥 I salute you all who also love David.
Love and light to you, John
I'm sorry for your loss.
So sorry John ❤️

I find it way easier to get over a loved one when they leave you a shit load of money, if this is the case with you ,then you'll probably find you will do your grieving when the money runs out, good luck buddy.
Those backup singers sound killer, Bowie is a genius, always surrounded by great professionals.
Bowies mere presence raises talent itself
The back vocals made a good Job. The Band and of course Bowie are Top!
+Thomas Simple Very Well Said Thomas......Great statement.
I am 66 years old a d cried like a baby the day David Bowie passed away.He will truly be missed.
I did the same thing and I have never cried for a celeb
I as well but i am 13
One of best ever
Vocals are insane on this version 👌🏻❤️
I still miss him.

Totally agree, bass player 💯 on point.

Thank you David❤️

You’d never expect a man like Bowie to die. He seems larger than life.
he looked always younger with age
He really looks “happy too” in this performance
Clean, sober, in good voice and having a hell of a good time. He's so much better off the coke.
+Guy Fawkes ...he's dead

"Let's have a lovely evening" and then an amazing song starts. He surely was a gentleman and a true humble star committed to his music and shows.

One of Bowie's best performances. My goodness. One would have to believe that there is life on Mars.
The way the chorus singing melody leads to the catchy piano hook first verse chord progression change is pure genius.
Yeah you’re right
God of music Himself, he will never die....
This video borders on a spiritual experience. Simply wonderful, it's hard to imagine a world without Bowie.
Moi aussi !
So True :)
One word to describe David Bowie ;
Grace .
He was just full of Grace .
The World certainly could use more like him .
I miss him so much !
Rest In Peace David .
The front man of all front men. 2023 and he remains the gold standard- Uber cool. The counter melodies and textures- so beautiful. Heavily nuanced music. If I could come back as any musician… David Bowie.
Well I am a qualified lesbian
A comedian friend of Bowies said to him
"is'nt it about time you got a real Job David"
He replied " I have a real Job"
IM A ROCK GOD !!!!!
Since David's passing I've spent a good amount of time learning more of his wonderful music he left for us to enjoy, and these TH-cam performances we are fortunate to watch.

He worked for a living starting from the bottom working his entire career as an artist and was so great he climbed to the top of the mountain.
He looks so genuinely happy singing this song. Amazing energy!

What I liked about David he was so creative in his music he was himself
That bass...awesome!
WHO was the bass player???
@@susanhamilton6315 Mark Platì or something like that
This Genius wrote the soundtrack to my life ,,,I miss him 💔
I listen to him every day, he is my daily dose❤️🥰it never gets boring. I love you so much dear David❤️❤️I miss you every minute❤️❤️
I never got a chance to go to his concert =(
+IamJacksColon4 I was thinking the same thing last night when I heard the news.
+IamJacksColon4 Same here ... but i always knew that i think
+IamJacksColon4 I was lucky I got to see him 4 times.
!!!!!!
+IamJacksColon4 Feel the same way...!!! I guess most young people dont know all the music he wrote!!!
i have listened this song like 30 times today
Fantastic version of this song. Worth listening to multiple times -- you'll hear new things. Bowie's voice was right on, the backup singers were wonderful, and then there's that bass player. Easily one of my favorite bass performances of all time. And he wasn't even the regular bassist!
She was. Gail Ann Dorsey was DB's bassist of choice since '95 practically to his death.
@@vegdagol2843 Plati is amazing on this. Well versed producer as well. Guy knows his way around the studio and instruments.
He's was such an amazing talent. This is my favorite version of this song ❤️.
A brilliant & Amazing Man ... Totally agree ... Absolutely ... and then I try to cover a few songs as Space Boy . on YT ... hahahaha .... what a laugh.
Best version, that funked up baseline!
I can't believe I’m crying right now. It almost makes me wish that I was born a little earlier. I'm sorry, but our music today does not compare.
+KALEIDO jess (Jesselapotter) No,it does'nt!
I think I was feeling particularly emotional that day, but I still agree with what I've said. There are a few great bands and musicians, I just think it's a little rare..
+KALEIDO jess (Jesselapotter) Music today doesn't compare to Bowie. Music yesterday doesn't. Music tomorrow won't. Nothing compares to David Bowie.
Напишу по-русски, есть ли кто из наших? Господи, он прекрасен!!! Я влюбилась, я в восторге, я в восхищении! Искренность, актёрское мастерство, живость исполнения - это не каждому дано!
The first time I hear this live version and it gave me goosebumps. David is sorely missed.
Tears for me! Amazing performance!
Thumbs up if you still think he's Immortal
He is Jesus Christ.
grytlappar God is the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end. David Bowie will be in Heaven or Hell ....Depending on his choice. John3:16 😇💝✌👋
ehh, but he died.
grytlappar No he is not. Please seek the real Jesus Christ. John3:16 😇💗✌👋
"They say you die twice one time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time"
People will never stop saying David Bowie, he is forever immortalised.
A great artist, a global icon.
Our respects from chile, South America.
You should not go.
How can this ever be repeated again? this is history right here folks
Brilliant song what a talent we will never see again I'm on a binge playing David Bowie songs
this bass line is truly amazing
Such a beautiful, exotic creature. Irreplaceable.
His hair his style so perfect
David Bowie, a songwriting genius and a true Gentleman.
I love this song and this live version is fantastic, until the keyboard solo, the original solo had a hauntingly beautiful melody with a synth sound that matched. This solo sounds like a piano player practicing their scales with a “that’ll do” synth preset. Other than that, this is an awesome live version of a brilliant song.
rip David Bowie, thank you for your creations.
Amazing. The bass is fantastic. What a version!! Every piece and person playing is brilliant!
The bass line in this live version almost obfuscates all the other instruments. Nice play Mark Plati....
xxamonixx yes, it's perfection
xxamonixx you can see Bowie gesturing to the mix "turn his bass up" at 2:05
it is awesome!!
That bass rocks...perfect!
It's perfect, it's the train they are all riding on. Kit work is very fine, too.
I find it hard to believe David was 50 years old here. Has anyone fact checked that this was actually from 2000, or did he just look this good at 50?
Actually he is 53 years old here! He was born 1947. Have you seen his 50th birthday concert in 1997? You couldn't believe he is 50!!!!
Can't beat a stringray bass live. Cuts through the mix like butter. Love it.
His smile/joy on the hooks is still absolutely infectious 23 years later!
RIP Starman. Condolences to your loved ones....that would be all of us.
The Man Who Fell to Earth.
I love you David Bowie.. you are my heroe

I don't know why I never found this sooner. This is absolutely the best and most outstanding version live. I just keep playing it over and over and over. David Bowie at his best! Phenomenal!
They got a message from the action man… I”m happy, hope you’re happy too… amazing. Look at how the guitarist is slapping that bass!
Damn, what a class act he was.
Rick Sanchez I couldn't agree more! How are we to ever get along without him...,..?
Rick Sanchez I never new Rick liked Bowie
David Bowie was a musical genius love and miss him hopefully we’ll meet the starman in the after life
Beautiful soul. Always in my heart. He looks so young and happy!
I still can't believe he's gone
По русски,мне Девид Боуи в пенсионном возрасте открыл целую необъятную вселенную .царствие тебе небесное.
He was 10,000 steps ahead of any artist, and the best smile ever.......
I'm only 23 but so upset about music these days. So I'd rather listening to music like this. I kept my hope till the day of his death to see this wonderful inspiring human being live someday. I'm from switzerland but I swear I'd go to any place on earth to see this legend. And now this dream is something that will never happen. But I keep my hope in music, that it will somehow find the good way again. I'm jealous of everyone who had the honor and joy to live/growup/being teenie during these awesome times between 60-90. Someday when I'll have children I will introduce them Bowie as early as possible.
+mandoholikerin HI mandoholikerin .... I have spent the last 72 hours reading/devouring tributes/articles/music clips/interviews .... just so damn unbelievable that David Bowie is gone. I was scrolling through here reading comments and if it is any consolation, I am sorry you never had the chance to see Bowie in concert.I was so lucky to have seen him a dozen times from 1974 through 1983. Here's my story from the first show on the Diamond Dogs tour in Detroit Michigan:
David Bowie - Cobo Arena, June 23rd,1974 - Diamond Dogs Tour. I borrowed my Mom's Instamatic, and had front row seats. This concert is what hooked me on photography !!!
This was at Cobo Arena. June 23rd, 1974. This was my 9th concert that I had attended.There were about 6 or 8 of us and we had Tier B tickets. I was stoked. My Mom gave me her Instamatic to take to the show, as she knew how much I loved Bowie.
I started wandering around and walked onto the main floor, with no one asking me any questions at all. I walked right past the usher at the end of the 1st section and strolled right up to the front of the stage.
I was there for about 2 minutes looking around, and a guy to my left in the 1st row, was tapping the empty seat next to him and said, "Do you want to sit here"? I sat and asked if the seat was taken, and he told me that the seats were comp from a connection, his friend couldn't make it, and the seat was mine. The lights suddenly went out, he tapped my shoulder, slapped me five, and said "Welcome to the front row, enjoy the show". What a way to see my rock hero !!! And I had my Mom's Instamatic.
Fabulous show ... excellent seats, a wonderful memory !!!
Let me tell you, the experience of going to a Bowie concert was incredible. I feel so fortunate to have seen David Live !!!
+denrosz so just to be clear, that was your 9th Bowie concert or 9th concert in general? Great story by the way.
+timishere1925 Thanks !!! This was my 9th concert overall, and 1st Bowie concert. My older brother David, ( I am #2 of 8) brought home the Ziggy Stardust LP after hearing it from a friend. He then brought home Hunky Dory about a week later, and we got MWSTW a month later. I was 15 that Summer of 1972, and 17 when Diamond Dogs was released. I bought Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups when they were released in 1973, and I was so impressed with Bowie's music, his fashion, his artistry. Found a bootleg of the Ziggy Tour at a local record store, and was blown away with the live sound. My brother Daniel, who was14 months younger, we bought cool flared jeans to go along with our 4 inch clogs that we walked miles in. LOL My sister Diane,#4, always heard me playing Bowie, she 12 in the Summer of 1972, and she and I were talking this week about how Bowie was ingrained in our musical blood for so many years, and what a great loss it is.
+timishere1925 Were you ever able to see Bowie in concert?
+denrosz No, it's one of my biggest regrets. I feel fortune to have something such as this on video, although I realize it doesn't begin to compare with seeing him live in concert. You're a very good story teller. I love hearing about the fashion, etc. You're really able to paint a picture with your words. Thank you again.
No one can ever beat how good he was :) I wasn't even born when this was filmed and I love it.
He is not singing, he is living in this song...
Bowie, you and your music are the only boyfriend I will ever need
Jajajaj jajajjaja jajsjajsj ajajajs
I might know why you are laughing, but I'm curious, What's so funny?
¿Alguna razón para ser grosero conmigo? Yo no lo he sido contigo
Eloísa García disculpeme y cuidese mucho.
Igualmente, y sigue oyendo a Bowie
Man, it's hard to believe that he only had barely 16 years left in him here. He's so full of life.
I know!
Sia
yeah was thinking the same
It's so lovely to see him so happy! And he said in an interview that he doesn't even like to perform. Maybe because it's because it's such an intimate venue. I could see how they might like the intimacy of that-same as _adore_ seeing artists in smaller venues & not arenas.
he might not have been so happy if he only knew he had only 16 years left to live..............
Still listening in 2024 !!!!!!
People who listen David Bowie go directly to heaven !
He has tears in his yes.....this song ment a lot to him, deep in his soul....beautiful spirit....xxx
"Let's have a lovely evening" - what a sweet gentleman.
When David left the world, he took the beauty with him.
😪
@@azizaislam6535 That's not even a reply. That's an emotion. I get it though.
Look how smoking hot he looked in this concert. His voice and music is out of this world.
That band just blows me away. So great
He looks so happy :)
***** Yeah. I can't help but smile when he smiles.
It's so lovely to see his joy! Especially since he has said that he doesn't really enjoy performing.
Oh baby he's so sweet. But honestly how somebody can look THAT good in their fifties? Incredible concert, this song is so good, it's one of my favorites. David Bowie is the man, one of the greatest and most magnificent personages in the world of music (and not only) ever. Such a shame he's not with us anymore. I wish I could've seen him live.
Очень мне нравится эта песня! Люблю Дэвида Боуи, у него прекрасная душа! Очень буду скучать...
❤
My favourite Bowie track. But man he's gotten so old over the last 15 years...wow, the millennium was 15 years ago already! Time really waits for no one.
+David Datura It would have been great to be at one of these shows,,,he still looked like a young guy,,,he's now aged,,,time sucks!
+Joe April Certainly does...
+David Datura "Time really waits for no one." indeed..
+Joe April Now we know why he looked so old & drawn in his last videos. Still, he's left us with so much great music & film.
+Largactyl Kid He defintely knew his fate in these last videos,,horrible. He was relatively a young guy,,I saw him a couple times live in the 80's.I was hoping to see him one more time,,
I just fucking adore the synth extravaganza outro.
H O X It is epic! Cheers!
I KNOW RIGHT?
I lovecthis live version.
He seems so calm,healthy and happy
omg his smile in the beginning of this video. someone PLEASE shoot me. i can’t breathe🥲
Say something about my boy.
