It was strange, no, eery, seeing George Michael rehearsing "Somebody to Love" with Queen for the "Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert". Watching him in the background was Bowie. Two excellent artists singing for Freddie and now they're both gone. Maybe they'll be a Tribute Concert for Bowie. The problem is, I think with the standards of todays artists it wouldn't be possible.
You guys NEED to hit "Blackstar" official video. His vision. His knowledge of his impending death. One of the best pieces of art I've ever seen from any performer.
"Heroes" is a Berlin song. "Standing by the Wall" was a reference to Bowie seeing Producer Tony Visconti literally standing next to the Berlin Wall during the recording sessions for the "Heroes" album. No coincidence that this great song hit home so hard there. Convergence of art, intent and execution right there.
I believe the story was Bowie spied a couple near the wall who appeared very much in love and he imagined they were from different sides of Germany but for that one moment, just for one day, they could be together. Love that story. RIP. So dearly missed. 🙏🏻
I got the story from Tony Visconti in a documentary about making Heroes, and he confirmed it was him and his girlfriend being referenced in the song. The concept of the lovers from either side of the wall could well be the imagery they were going for.
I'm 70 and have seen so many artists in concert. David Bowie had more charisma on stage than anyone I have seen. I saw him in the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, and his last concet tour. Sorely missed...
he was supposed to come to our city back in 91 or 92. I was SO jacked to get tickets, till they said it conflicted with a yearly event.....it got cancelled....it was my only shot to see him. I was SO PISSED
The key to Bowie was his curiosity. He never lost it even to his final days. If he heard something he hadn’t heard before he wanted to find out all about it and then he’d inevitably fold it into his music. He did it all the way through his life. Never lose your curiosity...
Stones, Beatles, who, clash, pistols, the kinks, Clapton, pink Floyd, rod stewart, Costello, cat Stevens, led zep, bad company, black sabbath, supertramp, Billy idol, deep purple and chunks of csny and Fleetwood Mac and the pretenders and the individual members of those bands like Pete townshend as a solo artist and Bowie and all the others I left out. Thank you, England from a yank
Saw David 3 times his music was a great part of my life, starting in the 60's he went thru so many cha cha changes,many generations keep him in Fame and they will for many more.. 💔 miss him so much 😢 Gary, please more bowie reactions.
Despite it not being a Bowie original, my favorite Bowie experience was as a 7 yr old, his Bing Crosby 1977 Christmas Special Duet of Little Drummer Boy...need to see it as it was on TV... Bing was the ultimate professional of letting David shine on Bing's special....Still very special listening to that performance. Cheers!
Always so thankful I got to see him live. One of only a handful of people that have passed that truly affected me on a soul level. I remember it feeling like part of my childhood had died and crying freely- standing alone in my living room. Bowie is an icon.
I saw him at Longchamps in Paris in 1982 on the Serious Moonlight tour ... He walked out onto a vast stage with scattered musicians and just filled the whole space with his magnetic presence... first time with blond hair and a sky blue suit. Amazing.
More Bowie has to be "Stay," the closing banger from the superb Station to Station album. which is a must-listen from beginning to end experience, because it's a whole package like few others.
First saw him in 1976 and I was blown away how this one man held the whole audience in his hand - Never missed a Bowie concert after that - The Biggest influence on my life
I like a few of Bowie's songs, and I haven't really taken the time to dig into his catalog. I haven't fallen in love with his stuff, yet. But this is the first time I have seen him live, and now I get it. Unbelievable performer, and now I want to hear more. I wish I could have gone to that concert in 1976.
His music was so wonderfully diverse, and remained vibrant and creative until the very end. He was so incredible live. Saw him twice, Serious Moonlight tour in 83 and the Sound and Vision tour in 90. Both beyond amazing, such wonderful memories. God, I miss him.
I didn’t miss a Bowie show from the mid 70s until his last tour. My daughter loved him as a baby. His music always calmed her down, so when she was about 5, we went to his show, sat down front and she didn’t move. 😍. Bowie was very kind with no ego when meeting him. I did cry when he died.
I would have paid Taylor Swift money have been there for that performance. The remarkable thing was the connection between Bowie and the crowd. Rare rare rare at that level. Bravo David!!!
Try to find his performances from The Concert for NYC post 9/11. He started the show with Simon and Garfunkel’s America (an amazing solo performance while sitting on the stage), and then he broke into Heroes. Amazing performance as were all the performances that night.
I saw him live six times. He was amazing, especially at Glastonbury 2000. That was one of those epic all time great concerts. Life on Mars from that set would be a great one to hit
It was his last tour ever. Seeing him live was beyond thrilling!!! The Beacon theatre in New York a small venue fabulous venue. At the risk of sounding biased my dear friend Pete keppler was his sound engineer on his last tour and the band, recordings and live videos never sounded so great!! makes such a difference the sound person!!! Earl slick on guitar added that extra!! to a great band Bowie grew into a beautiful philosopher and carrier of messages in love and compassion and as Alex said a man of the people!!! ❤
Bowie is simply magic! Saw him on The Glass Spider tour in '87 (when i was 20) at the huge Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan. Waited in line with friends for two days to get tickets, as was the norm back then for pretty much all concerts. Pretty sure he sold out all 80,000 seats in a day. He brought Peter Frampton basically out of retirement to play guitar on that tour, so was an added bonus to get to see him play live.
Love this song! A fave of mine always in rotation! Bowie was a musical genius and so creative! I love the video of China Girl! We had the best music 60’s & 70’s!
Kudos to whoever suggested exactly this version. There are countless, but this one rules over them all. Pure bliss. Since you mentioned Let's Dance, might I suggest the live version from Glastonbury 2000?
In 1997 Bowie had a concert that changed my musical life forever. One of those ahh ha moments in life that you get. He did MTVs “Live From The 10 Spot”. Holy holy holy crap. Sooooo good. I recorded it on my VCR, dubbed the audio to a cassette tape and had that tape on repeat for years. I know how much you liked “Quicksand” from the “Hunky Dory” album and that is the first song he sings. It sold me on this guy. 1997 Bowie in concert supporting his album “Earthling” brought some great reinventions of his already classic songs. Trust me guys, 1997 live Bowie is amazingly amazing.
I’m not usually proud to be British, but back in the day, I honestly think musically we had some of the best musicians, certainly in the Western world. Great song writers too.
Genius barely describes his shapeshifting talent. He lived in and developed his chops in a pub in the town where I was born. His song "Memory of a free festival" is an homage to the event he and the local music collective he was a part of put on in the town in 1969 as he was on the cusp of greatness. He was always looking for something new or something more and his loss hit everyone who grew up with his music like a ton of bricks.
Bowie is so good. I love it when he hits the end of his range and his voice cracks a couple of times in the beginning. He let it do that it is great - shows how much perfection is overrated. He really did a great job on this live performance. Not sure if you have done Under Pressure with David and Freddie collaborating.
The sustain that Robert Fripp placed on the original guitar part of this song always knocked me out. Fripp was recently on Daryl Hall’s podcast and they played this song together. Still a killer song.
@@Isleofskye Not in the live performance featured here. I should have qualified my response talking about Fripp’s guitar part on the original recording.
Nothing but LOVE for that man!! I was crying before it was halfway over. Seeing him so youthful and vibrant in 2002!! Thank you God for talents like that coming into our lives! Another amazing live performance is from a band not heard enough on here (maybe they block?) is U2!! Either "I Will Follow" from Red Rocks or "Bad" from Live Aid! Prayers going out to the people in KC.
Heroes is Bowie's tribute to the great Lou Reed of te Velvet Underground. The song is right out of thr velvet's playbook and Bowie's sings the lyrics in Reed's style. Bowie produced Reed's second solo album whose "Walk on the Wild Side' you shoud react to.
I never got to see Bowie, never met Bowie, but he always felt so intimately familiar and his music spoke to me so directly that he and his energy became a vital part of my life somewhere along the way. I have a giant framed portrait of latter-year Bowie hanging in my living room as a reminder that you don’t have to age out of your own creativity or youthful spirit. You and you alone get to forge your own way in life and in art. I can’t express how much he’s missed in this world.
In addition to being an exceptional and creative artist, many entertainment professionals who met him are unanimous in saying that David Bowie in addition to being physically elegant, he was also humanly elegant, courteous, polite and of great kindness 🙏
I love everything Bowie but this may be my favorite live performance for all the reasons you said. He was the epitome of cool and both musically and socially way ahead of his time.
I don't think there's a video of it, but another GREAT live Bowie song is "Sweet Thing" off the "David Live" lp (1974, I think, at the Tower Theatre in Philly). I was 12 when I heard it - and it is still my favorite Bowie track.
Bowie was the man. He is SO missed. Heroes is a great song!
It was strange, no, eery, seeing George Michael rehearsing "Somebody to Love" with Queen for the "Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert". Watching him in the background was Bowie.
Two excellent artists singing for Freddie and now they're both gone. Maybe they'll be a Tribute Concert for Bowie. The problem is, I think with the standards of todays artists it wouldn't be possible.
Plus Fripp's haunting guitar melody. So simple yet so critical.
Dave was the most chameleon like performer in my lifetime. Here he's almost Sinatra-esque
Bowie is just another brick in the wall of an amazing era of music!
@@ljsites 👍😎
You guys NEED to hit "Blackstar" official video. His vision. His knowledge of his impending death. One of the best pieces of art I've ever seen from any performer.
That's a hard listen. Great album but it hurts.
I only watched it a couple times -haunting...
Yes - his final masterpiece. What a way to say goodbye, what a legacy.
And the fourth and final Major Tom song
Lazarus absolutely crushes me.
Bowie, one of our absolutely best musicians ever walked on the earth, may he RIP
Amen❤
Absolutely

God, he was amazing. We're so lucky to have been alive at the same time as Bowie.
I'm 70 and have seen so many artists in concert. David Bowie had more charisma on stage than anyone I have seen. I saw him in the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, and his last concet tour. Sorely missed...
How fortunate we are to live in a universe that encompasses David Bowie's genius. I am grateful.
Bowie set the trends after he lived them 3 years before.
Everyone had to catch up to him even though he was already on to something new!
Bowie "CHINA GIRL" is sooo good! (studio version) ❤
Was Iggy Pop’s song, Bowie covered it (they were great friends). I prefer Bowie’s version better :)
I do love the live version from the album “Live at the Kit Kat Club 99”
The black star album is an exwie was forever inspired and intriguing.Forever evolving. His my Hero. ❤
His voice.......his voice is everything ❤ I still get misty eyed when i watch him 😢
There is a version of this video with about five minutes of banter with the audience…. Bowie is just so cool.
On the same planet at the very same time ...Thank you David Jones ...Dave Bowie for all the memories ,,,,R.I.P.
A&A, you'll love his "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" and "Modern Love" !!!
Really, anything with Bowie and SRV and you can’t go wrong.
And China Girl from the same album.
As added incentive, "Modern Love" is a clip from the 'Serious Moonlight' tour!!
If they do "Cat People", they need to compare the version from the movie first and then the version from "Let's Dance." Both are great.
Got to do the version from the movie soundtrack
He just oozes coolness
I saw David in concert back in 1983, he was fantastic!!!😊❤️
Me too...saw him 3x total
I saw him in 1995 with NIN. He was indeed fantastic.
he was supposed to come to our city back in 91 or 92. I was SO jacked to get tickets, till they said it conflicted with a yearly event.....it got cancelled....it was my only shot to see him. I was SO PISSED
I saw him 5 X between 1978 and 1991. My all time favorite artist.
I also saw him in 1983 at MSG, amazing show. R.I.P. David Bowie…A Great.
The key to Bowie was his curiosity. He never lost it even to his final days. If he heard something he hadn’t heard before he wanted to find out all about it and then he’d inevitably fold it into his music. He did it all the way through his life. Never lose your curiosity...
You have to admit that we have some of best musicians in our little country 🇬🇧
Stones, Beatles, who, clash, pistols, the kinks, Clapton, pink Floyd, rod stewart, Costello, cat Stevens, led zep, bad company, black sabbath, supertramp, Billy idol, deep purple and chunks of csny and Fleetwood Mac and the pretenders and the individual members of those bands like Pete townshend as a solo artist and Bowie and all the others I left out. Thank you, England from a yank

I remember that. It was amazing.
Me too!
Banger, hit Ashes to Ashes and Cat People other great ones by Bowie!
Cat People's gotta be the Giorgio Moroder version from the soundtrack!
This is an epic, one-off performance.....for all time......
Bowie never disappoints
Well.....there was dancing in the street, lol! Thats only my opinion of course. Just hated the video.
Absolutely fantastic, what a voice, hope he's in heaven with Freddie and all the other good ones.
Briean Eno and Robert Fripp on the original studio version. King Crimson would play it live
Love that version OMG...
Robert Fripp gave such an edge to the Berlin albums and Scary Monsters. This might be Earl Slick on this live version.
@@chriswood3252live in philly is earl slick.i had the record years ago reissue is out now
Brian Eno co-wrote this Bowie
I was lucky to see David Bowie in 1982 at MSG. In NYC. Stood on line to get tickets overnight! With my friends. A Legend!
"Conquistador" by Procol Harum, live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in 1971.
David bowie, one of the greatest musical artists of all time. A sad day when he left us.
Always so thankful I got to see him live. One of only a handful of people that have passed that truly affected me on a soul level. I remember it feeling like part of my childhood had died and crying freely- standing alone in my living room. Bowie is an icon.
I love the German version of this song that is played at the end of Jo Jo Rabbit.
It was used in Christiane F - Kinder vom Banhof Zoo as well.
@andrewgibson395 it wasn't only used there, Bowie was in the film, as Christine watched him perform on stage.
I saw him at Longchamps in Paris in 1982 on the Serious Moonlight tour ... He walked out onto a vast stage with scattered musicians and just filled the whole space with his magnetic presence... first time with blond hair and a sky blue suit. Amazing.
More Bowie has to be "Stay," the closing banger from the superb Station to Station album. which is a must-listen from beginning to end experience, because it's a whole package like few others.
From the bass to the drums a fantastic track.
Looovvvee Stay.
Such a good track. Funk + Rock = chef's kiss
Station to Station is one they have to hit. Amazing album!
The live version from 2000 rocks.
First saw him in 1976 and I was blown away how this one man held the whole audience in his hand - Never missed a Bowie concert after that - The Biggest influence on my life

Earl Slick... killing it on guitar.
A true genius, his writing and singing totally original. Missed.
Another awesome live Bowie video is "Hallo Spaceboy" with the Foo Fighters. You watch that one, and you'll have to hit the banger button.
Yes. The hole 50th birthday ist great.
bowie is one of those few artists you can watch over and over. He is mesmerizing.
"The Candidate" and it's segue into "Rebel Rebel" on Diamond Dogs is an experience...
David Bowie was a kind of magician😍. Theu did that, again, with the crowd!
Can’t explain it but every time I watch this I get tears running down my cheek. Just makes me so happy.
His music was so wonderfully diverse, and remained vibrant and creative until the very end. He was so incredible live. Saw him twice, Serious Moonlight tour in 83 and the Sound and Vision tour in 90. Both beyond amazing, such wonderful memories. God, I miss him.
He was one of my first stadium concerts, during The Glass Spider Tour. So glad that I got to see him once. Even though I was a young teen.
I still contend that the very best live version of "Heroes" is the one from Bowie's 1978 live album STAGE.
Rebel Rebel live while wearing an electric blue sharkskin suit....absolutely the king of cool
My fav vetsion of this master piece!
💜 My favorite vocal performance of his is his cover of “Wild Is the Wind”. So amazing. Also, “Look Back in Anger” from his Lodger album is a fav. 💜
YES! Nina Simone's version is very nice but Bowie is perfection. And I LOVE Lodger so so much!
I didn’t miss a Bowie show from the mid 70s until his last tour. My daughter loved him as a baby. His music always calmed her down, so when she was about 5, we went to his show, sat down front and she didn’t move. 😍. Bowie was very kind with no ego when meeting him. I did cry when he died.
So glad I got to see him in concert during the Let's Dance tour.
I would have paid Taylor Swift money have been there for that performance.
The remarkable thing was the connection between Bowie and the crowd. Rare rare rare at that level.
Bravo David!!!
The slow burn beginning was something which Bowie introduced to his live sets - the studio version comes straight out of the gates full-on.
I saw him at Dodger Stadium when I was in college. Lenny Kravitz opened for him, and Adrian Belew showed up to be a part of the show. It was awesome!
Try to find his performances from The Concert for NYC post 9/11. He started the show with Simon and Garfunkel’s America (an amazing solo performance while sitting on the stage), and then he broke into Heroes. Amazing performance as were all the performances that night.
I’ve always loved what this song stands for.
I saw him live six times. He was amazing, especially at Glastonbury 2000. That was one of those epic all time great concerts. Life on Mars from that set would be a great one to hit
I envy you,my friend:)
I was lucky to have seen him 3 times. Awesome concerts !!
I was 20 when I saw Bowie on The Serious Moonlight Tour, in Toronto (1983) "Modern Love" is a great live performance video; from that tour.

He's got an album called 'Earthlings' every song is a banger boys...
Saw Bowie on the Glass Spider tour. Blew me away. Peter Frampton on guitar. Bowie was a master of glam on the stage. Thanks for this version guys.
oooh god, the man was SO magnetic live. And this song has one of the best slow-burn build-ups of ALL TIME.
Bowie is simply magic! Saw him on The Glass Spider tour in '87 (when i was 20) at the huge Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan.

From Ziggy Stardust to this...amazing!
Love this song! A fave of mine always in rotation! Bowie was a musical genius and so creative! I love the video of China Girl! We had the best music 60’s & 70’s!
I recommend:
David Bowie & Annie Lennox "Under
Pressure" (Freddie's Tribute Concert)
Annie is a total diva 😍
Oh missed this yesterday. Finally, 😂doing this song and the absolute best version with all of the verses, and David's charm and sense of humor😂❤
Space Oddity.. BoWiE’s 50 th birthday concert live performance .. Absolutely magical ..
Such a great voice... miss him
Kudos to whoever suggested exactly this version. There are countless, but this one rules over them all. Pure bliss.
Since you mentioned Let's Dance, might I suggest the live version from Glastonbury 2000?
nice!
False. David Byrne did a mob session in Grand Central Station that obliterates this flatliner.
Gotta say it still doesn’t come close to Live Aid but it’s still pretty darn good.😎
For me, best version was Concert for New York after 9/11. FDNY and NYPD in attendance seriously into it. Goosebumps.
I like the one with Mick Ronson at the Freddie Mercury tribute
In 1997 Bowie had a concert that changed my musical life forever. One of those ahh ha moments in life that you get.
He did MTVs “Live From The 10 Spot”. Holy holy holy crap. Sooooo good. I recorded it on my VCR, dubbed the audio to a cassette tape and had that tape on repeat for years.
I know how much you liked “Quicksand” from the “Hunky Dory” album and that is the first song he sings. It sold me on this guy. 1997 Bowie in concert supporting his album “Earthling” brought some great reinventions of his already classic songs. Trust me guys, 1997 live Bowie is amazingly amazing.
Most amazing and humble man. More of us need to live this way.
THANK YOU guys!! I'm not always in total agreement with your reactions to the music of my lifetime, but you guys totally nailed it with this one! 💚💙🩵💜
I’m not usually proud to be British, but back in the day, I honestly think musically we had some of the best musicians, certainly in the Western world. Great song writers too.
I fell in love with Bowie in 1974.
Great Performer.
♥️🎼🕊️🎼♥️🎼🕊️♥️
1968 for me. "Space Oddity" at my schoolmate, Nick's house in Clapham,South West London:)
Love this video. You can see pure joy on his face.
I saw him in concert in 1997 and in 2003 - AMAZING!!!
His Live Aid performance was incredible. In fact, you should definitely watch the whole event. You would not believe the spectacle that was.
Bowie was a good friend of David Gilmour. He did "Arnold Layne" at the Royal Albert Hall. Another great performance. ✌
If there are any sound pros here, the mic management Bowie installs during each phrase is glorious. No presets necessary with this guy.
Genius barely describes his shapeshifting talent. He lived in and developed his chops in a pub in the town where I was born. His song "Memory of a free festival" is an homage to the event he and the local music collective he was a part of put on in the town in 1969 as he was on the cusp of greatness.

This brought tears to my eyes.
David Bowie was a man that just had that aura around him, that in his presence makes you just sit there in awe.
There's not many people like that.
Bowie and Lou Reed “Waiting for the Man” at Bowie’s 50th birthday celebration concert. Great music and so fun
I was there. They also did ‘Queen Bitch’ which was amazing because Bowie obviously wrote it in the style of and in tribute to Velvet Underground.
Bowie makes me smile. "Shining beacon of light" is spot on.
Heroes is Bowie's tribute to the great Lou Reed of te Velvet Underground. The song is right out of thr velvet's playbook and Bowie's sings the lyrics in Reed's style. Bowie produced Reed's second solo album whose "Walk on the Wild Side' you shoud react to.

Thank you for listening to Bowie, saw him on the 3 day US FESTIVAL, San Bernardino California 1983. 3 Days of Incredible awesome BANDS🎶♥️🎶
In addition to being an exceptional and creative artist, many entertainment professionals who met him are unanimous in saying that David Bowie in addition to being physically elegant, he was also humanly elegant, courteous, polite and of great kindness 🙏
Bowie performed this at the 9/11 Concert for New York at the Garden for the NYC Firefighters and Police. It was very moving.
I loved dancing to Modern Love when I was young!! It always filled the dance floor!!
Absolute Beginners is a great one of Bowie's 80s songs, and I have a soft spot for loving the alien.
I love everything Bowie but this may be my favorite live performance for all the reasons you said. He was the epitome of cool and both musically and socially way ahead of his time.
love this version. he plays it rely sly for the first half and then they go full blast like the studio version. Brilliant.
So many decades of A+/S songs...so little time. Love so many. Love watching Alex chair boogie. I never sit still at live gigs!!
I don't think there's a video of it, but another GREAT live Bowie song is "Sweet Thing" off the "David Live" lp (1974, I think, at the Tower Theatre in Philly). I was 12 when I heard it - and it is still my favorite Bowie track.
