One of the most cynical and wistful songs ever written. Would be career defining for most artists. For Bowie, third or fourth best on that particular album. I love this song.
So true, especially in the way he sought out and assembled musicians to help him forge new sounds. If Bowie called he wanted you for what you did special.
I remember waiting all week for this to come on. It was the talk of the school. This song blew all of us kids away. Dtill is the funkiest song I've ever heard.
This really should have so many more views from Bowie fans ! I noticed he had to change 'wanking' to 'swanking' in the lyrics, but no TV at that time would have allowed such risque lyrics. Not so very live though, recorded band, recorded vocal, and singing another lead vocal, at one stage the recorded vocal for 'we should be on by now' got in before him, and he gave a wry smile picking it up mid line. That's show biz. MIss you David Bowie.
I have been watching bootleg videos of this and other Bowies videos from this particular show for years and most with a lot of quality flaws or missing spots but was happy to see them and could live with them! ...But finally, it's so great to start seeing very high-quality original TMS videos here on "The Midnight Special" channel from Bowie's 1980 Floor Show that aired back in 1973 and I remember it like it was yesterday! ...I sure hope eventually the whole show will be shown in its entirety! ...As there was nothing else ever like it ever since as it was almost the end of his Ziggy-Aladdin persona! ...Absolutely Bowie fantastic! Thank you Midnight Special for releasing it and the many other shows and artist you have been sharing as I have been praying for many, many, many years for this musical history day to come from you!
The channel has now added it to the playlist - though it looks like it's been placed at the end of the list, it is there. An absolute dynamite start to the show!

It was always my favorite Bowie Time is timeless
hahaha totally that
David Bowie is to Rock what Miles Davis is to Jazz 🥰🤩
So true, especially in the way he sought out and assembled musicians to help him forge new sounds. If Bowie called he wanted you for what you did special.
Seeing Bowie on the Midnight Special...it didn't get better.
A way Back 😮😊
Bowie 😂
Time is waiting in the winds 😂😂😂 very true 😮
The 70's was the most Innovator & Creative era for music 😁👍🏻😎✌
@crielcara1987 for hair bands
It was an amazing decade with such a variety of sounds from glam to funk to punk to prog to soul to rock to dub. It went all down hill after that.
😮
This song is flawless.
Time is waiting in the wind !
😂 flawless ✨️
Time 😮
Simply: Bowie Live making art fifty years ahead of its time.
Time n other friends of mine 😢
Right , how , take your time ! 😂
😂
Take your time 😮
Bowie was way ahead of his 'time'. The Ziggy/Aladinsane period is my favourite.
Take your time 😮
Head of his time 😂
Amazing peeformance. I love this guy.
So cool 😎 😂

Hey Midnight Special peeps, you can unblock the "Goddamn" now at 2:29, it's 2023!!
....though they did keep the, falls (s)wanking to the floor! 🙂
It's A'merka.
What a legend!
Old school music 🎶 🎵 🎉
Falls "swanking" to the floor ;)
Not that any Americans knew what "wanking" was...
And 'Chimes, **beep** you're getting old'. O, these Americans...
It's actually, " falls wanking to the floor...."
Look up British meaning!! 😂🎉
@@chrisbenedetto4736Yes!! 😳😳😂
@@chrisbenedetto4736i knew it was wanking and i’m from cali
Incredible
Just amazing 😊
3:18 - I wish this particular part was sung like that on the album. But both versions are perfect. :)
Wow.
WOW WOW 😳😳😳😳
DAVID BOWIE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, SEXY BADASS
INTRIGUING, HIS EYES 👀 ARE SO MESMERIZING
OMG 😱😱.
Just look at how far we've come. This performance would be banned in almost every state today.
I doubt it
David is way hotter than Dylan that's for sure.
Classic ✌🏼😃
😢 time ⏲️
Classic 😂
A Lad Insane
The way the song 🎵 starts 😂 cool 😎
awesome
The the 😂
This must've been quite a shock to see for the American audience
😂
I've waited 50 years for this. Thank you. What are the two hidden videos about though?!
2 more songs that will release later this month. We are sharing new songs daily on the channel. Thanks for the support!
@@themidnightspecialtvshow These are amazing! Thank you so much! Can't wait for the other two tracks!
@@themidnightspecialtvshow. Johnny Winter just came up in my UA-cam feed. Subbed.
This is something out of rocky horror picture show
RIP

Friends of 😢😢
Ah yes, The 1980 Floor Show. That was freaky to watch as a kid.
Ya time 😂
a tv americana não tava preparada pra isso
NO THEY WASN'T
Seems the intro is missing with 1984/dodo.. But great to see this
The channel has now added it to the playlist - though it looks like it's been placed at the end of the list, it is there. An absolute dynamite start to the show!
Kurt Weill vibes.
High school day ! 😢😂
It’s a bit sad that the spiders aren’t in this clip
Yeah, but he'd already broken up with the band by this point, even though most are still for this last appearance of the Ziggy character.
0:31 I WANT TO KISS HIM SO BADLY WHEN HE SAYS THAT 😏😏😏🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want to kiss him always!!❤
Broadway
4:43 rude xd
but why the guys in leotards?
Cuz it’s David Bowie
the crowd is taking me out
That is a great song, but I would rather see the band than the Vegas floor show. That looked like something Cher would put on.
Knowing Bowie, that may have been the point. Even if only for a fleeting moment in conversation. 🤷🏻♂️😃
His hair is ridiculous.
it’s a mullet
Karaoke🥱?
Nope, he's singing that. 100%.
Live vocals, studio instrumentals
If this song was good I’d have less of a gut-wrenching affect watching this. Over-rated.
