Apparently one of DB's fav songs to perform , hugely under-rated ~ absolutely fell in love with it when it was released with the movie in my teens n was my gateway into the genius that was Bowie ... such a special song
My dear little sister wanted this to be played in her funeral. So we listened this on her grave 26.8.23. Rest in peace Kaisu, my lovely, wild and intelligent sister. Nothing compares to you. May God bless you.
ph8349, I am so sorry for your loss. My daughter Birka didn't tell about her wishes regarding music to be played in her remembrance service. She silently went away and took her own life in the midst of norwegian nature 09.09.23. Since she was a big Bowie-fan, Absolute Beginners or Heroes would have suited well. Years ago she had drawn that avatar I am using here. I will miss her to the end of my days.😭
Hi Sam yeah you hit the nail on the head with that comment it's a wonderful moment in music from the one and only gone beyond legendary Mr David Bowie ❤ x
Who is listening to this January 1st, 2020? New decade but I just take David with me, because I absolutely love this and David!! Missing you very very much. Happy New Year!!! 💞💋💞💋
I know nobody cares, but this is my favourite Davie Bowie song. Always has been. Just so so sad to hear his passing. But what a fantastic back catalogue legacy to leave behind, for all of us to enjoy.
Ziggy Stardust, Five Years, Life On Mars, Diamond Dogs, Sorrow, Heroes, Warszawa, Let's Dance, Hello Space Boy, Absolute Beginner, The Next Day.... So many different melodies. What a genius! Thanks David
+Ondine Riesen I have been sobbing all bloody day - even after his death he is bringing us all together ! I still cannot believe it. He's gone, but I will never be able to think of him as in the past because throughout his life he was always in the future.
+bianchi1885 This song was playing the first time I had sex, it was in the back ground and a amazing thing happen I didn't here it for years and out of the blue I heard it and all the memories of the wonderful event and song came back to me, It had always been one of my favorites and it always brings a tear to my eye, now more than ever, RIP Mr Bowie.
+bianchi1885 My heart is absolutely breaking. There will never be another like him, No one will ever come close. I can't stop crying when I hear that voice, see that smile.
This has to be the most beautiful song lyrics ever written, and the composition of the music is our genius! We lost an icon! That has rocked me from the 70’s and soothed me through 2020 and into 2021! Thanks for the great music!
Totally agree. David sadly couldn't live forever, but we are blessed to have had him with us and to have his amazing, incredible legacy to enjoy for the rest of our own lives. Thank you Mr David Bowie.
Yes you are right, it’s a beautiful song,i always loved it since it’s release,and this live version is amazing, it’s the only song that he wrote that had him was crying to when he was listening to the recording, He said this in one of his interviews, The Man was dripping class from head to toe,,more emotion and talent in this song than most musicians have in their whole career,,
Beautiful flower on earth...come back the world needs you❤your exceptional talent and perspective on music and life. Nothing and nobody compares to you.
I'm obsessed with the bass on this song. Everything is on point in this performance. Perfect instrumentals, perfect vocals, perfect harmonies, perfect Bowie. Brings me to 😢 Thank You Starman.
One of the most talented musicians ever! A grandmaster at his craft and certainly not a beginner! Changed music forever and left us with gems like these. RIP Thin White Duke! ❤
I listen to this most days. Have done for years. Apart from being a tremendous piece of music it brings back memories of a fabulous time in my life. Little responsibility and having fun with people I loved was my priority. Great times.
This song is carved into my heart. My wife and I saw it on our first date. The movie was crap but we kissed continually for 90 minutes to one of the best soundtracks ever. Because of this song I'll never forget it. Thank you David for the memory. Tell Jesus I'm sorry and I'll see you both soon.
+johnnysocco67 Your comment brought a smile to my face even in the shared sadness. Somehow I can just see Bowie up there saying, "Ya see, there's this guy, n' 'e wants me to say 'e's sorry, I'm not quite sure what e's going on about but I figured you're the boss eh?"
Послевоенные годы Великобритания дала миру выдающихся. замечательных. непревзойденных певцов. Простота в одежде. манерах. исполнении просто потрясают. Ни один голос не спутаешь с другим. Одно наслаждение слушать такую музыку. Живу в Беларуси. воспитана в другой культуре. но восприятие одно и то же.
I have no idea how many times I've watched this video - I know it's special for a lot of people. Just makes me smile all over. And Mike Garson at his very best, too.
Lost my beautiful wife in 2001. I thought I had no tears left, but after the sad news of David I realise I do have tears...lots of tears. Been playing "Heroes" a lot and welling up. Don't ask why but I only just found this extraordinary performance, and the emotive lyrics, and astonishing musicianship and passion in David's performance, and whilst reading all the comments have reduced me to a blubbering wreck! We are from the same time, and those halcyon days of the sixties are with me forever......xx
Amen everything perfect thank you for the opportunity to be here to give us the best present your never going to be forgotten RIP n rock hard in heaven with the best
Just reading your post Rio. I hope things are better for you today. Brillant song this from Bowie. Music has a way of bringing our emotions out and has a way taking us to a time of when things were special in our life. Be strong tho it's not easy. But, we will all meet again one day after we have departed this life. For sure!!!
The 70’s, the 80’s, the 90’s - it doesn’t really matter. David Bowie was ‘The Boss’. This is what being a ‘ rock star’ means. Everyone else can just watch, listen and learn. That’s what the man left behind.
This song came out in my teens, radio and everything in Sweden!🙂David Bowie was always around in my teens! When we lost him, it suddenly hit hard! I could actually listend to him more! The fun talented gue is gone! No more Jones stuff in the future!!😢
+janis crutchfield Same. Our 5-year-old now finishes the lyrics for us if we spontaneously start singing something under our breath. It's always, always a Bowie song.
+tellingpool My two girls do the same too, especially the youngest, almost 3 years old. That makes me happy and so very sad at the same time... Thank you David, for all the magic you left for us.
This song is a kind of healing for me: whenever there are so many negative news about our little planet, violence & war & other murders are reported, which makes me feel sad & blue... Then I listen to this song and for a while it's beautiful again .. praying for a brighter tomorrow.. feeling like I am the reincarnation of Ziggy? ✨️🪄✨️🛸✨️🪂✌🏻😎
This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost battling cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, life could be so unfair most times, but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people
@@AndyArnold-uz5yo I'm very sorry for you, Andy. When asked why a lot of bad things seem to happen to good people, I've heard a lot of "ideas" that I'm sure you already too? Starting with the book of Job in the Old Testament, about karma, or everyone gets as much as they can bear... Blah blah blub... I don't believe in any of them. But music is always good medicine for me.🌻✌🏻😊
@@SabiArtStory777 Thank you for your kind words, I wish she was here to see how grown and beautiful our daughter has become but that's life you can unpredictable it or know what's gonna happen next.
Just RIP David, you were one of the best interpreter of all times. All songs that you made and gave us was a true master piece! We all will miss you, thanks a lot!😎
I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner But I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh, we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners But if my love is your love We're certain to succeed If our love song Could fly over mountains Sail over heartaches Just like the films If there's reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
Selfishly I feel that way too, although in my heart of hearts I know everyone should be allowed to die. But the universe could've spared him a little longer, I think.
I listened 50 times tonight... Exceeding my 4 or five times in the past.... I love love LOVE the song but in the video that magic moment and you see David in slow motion and freeze frame begs me to watch again
I've loved Bowie music since the early '70s.........but, this song has always been my favorite. The lyrics and chord changes are simply genius and quite honestly it's all I can do to keep from weeping openly. Rest in Peace, David.
I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner But I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh, we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely…
Love how he smiles so much while singing through this, the love shines through. That bounce of his fist at 2:55 in rhythm also reflect his enthusiasm for this song. Always been one of my personal favorites. Garson always brings so much to the table with his ivory skills. Such a great piece. Leaves me smiling, that's all I really need.
What a band this was.🔥 Garson's piano and Earl Slick's guitar elevate this way beyond the studio version IMO. The more I listen, the more it becomes apparent how great a song this is. In a period where his work was at its most patchy, he comes up with something beautiful and very moving.❤️
"AS LONG AS WE ARE TOGETHER AND THE REST CAN GO TO HELL." One of the most romantic yet rebellious lyrics of all. I listened to it since my childhood but never understood the meaning of it. Today I just looked at the words and suddenly I cried.
I'm 53. We share birth date in different years: 1947 and 1966, January 8th. I bought this LP in Málaga ,my hometown, in 1984 and still conserve it. And still I play it in a real vinyl player.
How do you bring back the 80s? The decade wasn't that good anyway - we just romanticise the time when we were young. This, and Bowie in general is great, of course.
When I first heard Bowie at The Beeb this track stood out for me at the time and it still does. I just love this live version. Bowie sings with such joy and passion and the band behind him (with the awesome Mike Garson) are superb. What an astonishing legacy you left us all David...your lyrcis in this still bring all that still love you such joy...you shiny Blackstar :)
His voice is so beautiful. I wish I listened to him more when he was alive. Thank God we have his amazing voice forever with us. He looked so happy during this concert. That's what real love does to a person and he had it with his wife and children. May God bless and keep them.
Recuerdo cuando salió la película, allá por los años 80. Aquel día escapé de clase para verla. En el cine conocí a la chica más maravillosa del mundo. Rock in Peace, David! ❤
That man had the most beautiful smile of any human being I have ever seen before. It must have come from his soul, because his smile was equally radiant both before and after getting his teeth fixed. The way his whole face lights up in this video, it's just magical.
+MakeThingsRight Also a shout out to the smiling couple in green in the 2nd row - I had as much fun watching you guys bouncing in your seats as I did Bowie; your joy is infectious. Hugs to you both in this sad time.
Such a sunny smile he gives when he sings - nothing more beautiful than genius with kindness and he gave a beautiful witness this is possible in !modern music too.❤🎆
What an amazing song. Those lyrics cut deep like surgeons, you really feel what he's saying about being naive and not knowing what the proper next step is. David Bowie's music was a transcending element of beauty, art, feelings and pure balls that no singer has today!!!!!
Five years since you left but we haven't forgotten. Memorable gigs in Glasgow and for me, great nights watching you at the Apollo with Ronno by your side. RIP Starman, the soundtrack to my life.

What a band also!

Absolute ly beautiful performance! This has to be one of the best concerts he ever put on!
Absolute perfection. EVERYTHING about this performance is outstanding, gorgeous, beautiful, and moving. Bowie at his BEST.
That’s Bowie for ya
Yes this is one of the greatest live performance of all times!
@@littledog5837!!!

A song that never gets much airtime sadly. This performance is majestic.
I love listening Bowie's music ever since I was a kid, always have and always will. I'm 71 now.
U can't beat class 😊
My brother went to uni and two tapes by David Bowie - Ziggy and Hunky Dory- arrived into the house.
Since then I’ve enjoyed his music immensely.
David said during his Glastonbury performance that this was his favourite song from his 80's catalog. I can see why, this song is amazing.
Música riquíssima em detalhes,sou leigo mas amo boa música,todos nós brasileiros amamos,.
When he sings “I absolutely love you” & looks up & says “Yes I do” ❤,❤️,❤️!!

It’s 2023 fall is just around the corner and I’m still listening to this!
One of my favourite Bowie songs. He was, and still is, a wonderful artist.
Just look at Bowie's utter, complete joy performing, what is this man being missed, such a great musician and performer, unmatched
This was one of his favorite songs, and he didn't play it live often. I love how we can feel his delight here, too. ❤️
Calm the fuck down

I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
But I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh, we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
If there's reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Makes u cry it’s about life be the best u can be no matter wat people say we were all beginners when we all were born I miss u David
This live version of ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS is outright the best ever...just love it. I get cold chills listening and watching. Thanks for the upload!!!
Venditi viideo
agreed
Bonita Tucker Clark though this version of absolute begginers is better than the one on glastonbury 2000, I own it on vinyl - amazing recording.
agree the best version
I'm agree with you, the best ever
yes its 2024 and i miss my david ,,,,,,absolutely
And today, for the first time in my life, I TRULY think to myself: some people should never die.
won't be the last I Guess, So, for a way full with the best of the encounters :)
I feel the same! Great loss and still hurts.......
I Could Honestly Agree To That😞
Selfishly I feel that way too, although in my heart of hearts I know everyone should be allowed to die. But the universe could've spared him a little longer, I think.
let's not die, let's love
One of the best - and absolutely best looking - performers
Very hard to stop listen this song again and again...
+Lubos Grolmus tell me....i am bass guitar player from bosnia...this is timeless....sorry if i did not wright some of the words corectly....
+Lubos Grolmus and again and again and again and again.... and so freakin' on!
+goya kresic You write quite well don't worry. Great song!
The feeling is more important than the words
I listened 50 times tonight... Exceeding my 4 or five times in the past.... I love love LOVE the song but in the video that magic moment and you see David in slow motion and freeze frame begs me to watch again
I've loved Bowie music since the early '70s.........but, this song has always been my favorite. The lyrics and chord changes are simply genius and quite honestly it's all I can do to keep from weeping openly. Rest in Peace, David.
Charlie Aesque same here!
Charlie Aesque me too. More he so obviously loves it
I miss him as well!
Me too. The world is a less nicer place without him RIP David xx
The song "For You" by Rita Ora sounds like they've stolen the string melody from this beautiful song.
I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
But I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh, we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely…
''As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell''
The best part
😆

Wish you eri with
Thanks
This song, this lyric, it´s simple perfect...
Love how he smiles so much while singing through this, the love shines through. That bounce of his fist at 2:55 in rhythm also reflect his enthusiasm for this song. Always been one of my personal favorites. Garson always brings so much to the table with his ivory skills. Such a great piece. Leaves me smiling, that's all I really need.
What a band this was.🔥 Garson's piano and Earl Slick's guitar elevate this way beyond the studio version IMO. The more I listen, the more it becomes apparent how great a song this is. In a period where his work was at its most patchy, he comes up with something beautiful and very moving.❤️
Amazing, one of the best performances ever, just music, his energy, charisma, great!
Nego sta Milose. Bowie je kralj
"AS LONG AS WE ARE TOGETHER AND THE REST CAN GO TO HELL." One of the most romantic yet rebellious lyrics of all.
I listened to it since my childhood but never understood the meaning of it. Today I just looked at the words and suddenly I cried.
Ο χρόνος σαρώνει τα πάντα στο πέρασμα του 😥😥Μόνο η μουσική μένει αναλλοίωτη κ ζει για πάντα. Χαιρετισμούς από Ελλάδα 🇬🇷❤️🇬🇷
Still ABSOLUTELY loving this in 2022!!! As long as you're still smiling, that's all I really need!
THIS PERFORMANCE HAS ME IN TEARS, MISS U BOWIE
Legend never dies... Still hits the spot today.
Garson, Dorsey, Slick...the chemistry between all the members of the band was incredible in the BEEB concerts. Bowie at his peak...just sublime
I'm 52 and this song crried me to work in my car to many textile factories in the 80's.....BRING BACk the 80's
No, life is now ! but I sure did enjoy myself, still do.
Rick Ogden at least you lived the 80s
I'm 53. We share birth date in different years: 1947 and 1966, January 8th. I bought this LP in Málaga ,my hometown, in 1984 and still conserve it. And still I play it in a real vinyl player.
How do you bring back the 80s? The decade wasn't that good anyway - we just romanticise the time when we were young. This, and Bowie in general is great, of course.
David Bowie nos dejó, pero seguro que volverá algún día....... mientras seguiremos disfrutando de sus canciones.
I think this whole BBC performance was perfection - the band, the vibe from the audience and Bowie is in perfect voice
I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY!
The thing about Bowie is that, just when you think he's peaked and can do no better, off he goes again.
Totally fabulous. 😎😊👏👏👏
Какой он классный, мы все его любим и помним! Светлая ему память.
this song is magical, may 2021 bring us light and happiness 🙌✨✨ we miss you so much, David ⭐️
I miss David Bowie! Italian Fan in Italian Summer 2021
When I first heard Bowie at The Beeb this track stood out for me at the time and it still does. I just love this live version. Bowie sings with such joy and passion and the band behind him (with the awesome Mike Garson) are superb. What an astonishing legacy you left us all David...your lyrcis in this still bring all that still love you such joy...you shiny Blackstar :)
beautifully said. 100% with you, David!!
His voice is so beautiful. I wish I listened to him more when he was alive. Thank God we have his amazing voice forever with us. He looked so happy during this concert. That's what real love does to a person and he had it with his wife and children. May God bless and keep them.
Recuerdo cuando salió la película, allá por los años 80. Aquel día escapé de clase para verla. En el cine conocí a la chica más maravillosa del mundo. Rock in Peace, David! ❤
That man had the most beautiful smile of any human being I have ever seen before. It must have come from his soul, because his smile was equally radiant both before and after getting his teeth fixed. The way his whole face lights up in this video, it's just magical.
Absolutely true!!
Rebecca B Einstellung
YES!!!
I am sory, but i could only give you 1 like, truly sory miss.

Самое любимое исполнение любимой песни! Спасибо за всё, дорогой Дэвид! За музыку и это волшебство... Благодарю! Мир твоей душе! Навсегда в сердце...❤
Absolute perfection! I still miss him badly in May 2021😥😥😥
Same here. Mr. Jones has no peers.
Eta mūzika būs Vsjegda 😁
6am watching and listening to this for the 200th time.
I’m a little buzzed, but I am smiling and crying. Bowie breaks my heart and fills it up aging.
This is one of the greatest live performances ever. Gives me chills every time I hear it,
He had the most gorgeous smile!
Oooh yes....absolutely.....
"As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need"
Thank you for all the joy you brought. R.I.P.
+MakeThingsRight Also a shout out to the smiling couple in green in the 2nd row - I had as much fun watching you guys bouncing in your seats as I did Bowie; your joy is infectious. Hugs to you both in this sad time.
A entertainment star. Shining clear and bright. Powered by David Bowie!
Such a sunny smile he gives when he sings - nothing more beautiful than genius with kindness and he gave a beautiful witness this is possible in !modern music too.❤🎆
What a deep an beautiful song !! Love you forever, David Bowie.
Happy New Year to anyone who is still listening to the legendary David Bowie
Yes still here
Happy New Year
@@mariajosesilas4639 same to you and your family
Legendary and unique.Happy New Year
Every day of my life. Happy New year
David Bowie was such a gift to us! So talented and I loved his beautiful voice and looks over the years..❤
Bowie was a hell of a cool cat. The timing on his delivery impeccable...played with the best musicians.
cant understand why 408 people would dislike this.......such a heartfelt performance
1.3 k Assholes.
If you hear what's in the charts these days, you understand it
Don't worry. there are always stupid people
Troglodytes
This song is perfection. And when you see him singing this, I think he knows.
Such a beautiful song
What an amazing song. Those lyrics cut deep like surgeons, you really feel what he's saying about being naive and not knowing what the proper next step is. David Bowie's music was a transcending element of beauty, art, feelings and pure balls that no singer has today!!!!!
No one can ever take his place. He is a one-off. And we should be grateful for that. ✌
based on novel of same name by colin mcinness..
Five years since you left but we haven't forgotten. Memorable gigs in Glasgow and for me, great nights watching you at the Apollo with Ronno by your side. RIP Starman, the soundtrack to my life.
