I am in 2024!!!!❤ I can only watch his early/Ziggy performances. Still raw for when he looked more like “David.” The Spiders From Mars were incredible. Mick Ronson was such a gifted musician. Under rated imo. I feel honored to get so much joy from their music-all these years later on.
"I put this together from a variety of sources of variable quality, some of which was originally silent, and synched it with the version of the song performed live in Santa Monica 1972." You created a masterpiece. Thank You! You made the internet a better place to experience!
Bowie's 80s era was my favorite since that is where I first influenced, but it did bring me around to really discover, appreciate, and like this era better.
gil wood from everything I have read he was extremely humble and loved his fans and was always kind, I don’t think he ever saw it as a job until later in life. He was a wonderful human being and we didn’t deserve him.
Yes...he really appreciated his fans. In one interview he even said that he drew inspiration from his audiences i t o characters and outfits. A very kind and humble thing to say. (Not sure if it was totally true though.)
CHEERS! Here's to YOU Mister Sussex from the boyz in Florida who just enjoyed the shit outta that production you put together! Kudos to you and your talent!
I was lucky enough to see him in Sydney in 1983; one of the last years there were the big showground venues...Bowie sublime as the moon rose over the stage and we all swooned. everyone was passing joints, people climbed up the speaker stack scaffolding just to get near him, i dunno it all seemed a simpler time I guess. People would just be on their fucking phones these days lol
had the privileged of seeing him live twice once milton keens bown and once at the nic was very close to him at milton keens as he ran to the car ! at the end
I always found him incredibly handsome, after seeing him as the Gobling King. Preteen me was... feeling stuff. Later I discovered his music. I still gravitate towards men who would not be considered handsome to the general public. But God... He was a piece of art.
@@davidpriest913 I am 15 now, wish i could see him live at least once. But hey, at least i saw a Space Oddity cover from U2 live back in 2013 i believe.
I was 16 when my best friend and I attended Bowie's first US show. It was September 22, 1972 at Cleveland's Music Hall in downtown Cleveland. I didn't really know who he was, but the audience sure did! I'd never seen anything like it before - he was amazing, bizarre, fascinating, and held the audience in thrall! Beethoven's 9th symphony, 4th movement (synthesized) and off-beat strobe lights opened the show as Ziggy and the band seemed to just appear on stage out of nowhere! Despite his glam appearance and fey movements, he rocked hard and gave a performance I'll never forget! So glad my sister talked me into going! :)
Bowie’s treatment of the spiders was shameful the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust was the album that finally made him a superstar but no Ronson no Ziggy, no Ziggy no Bowie
A high school classmate of mine brought Ziggy Stardust, the album, to school and gave it to me. He said... here, I don't know who this is and I don't like it. I have to say, after all this time.... it's my favorite album of all time.
Ziggy was originally based on leather clad rocker Vince Taylor who took to much LSD and went temporarily insane. Bowie once bumped into him outside a London tube station and Vince pulled out a map to show David where the spiders from Mars would land.
I love the look in David's eyes. Idk there's always a shimmer to them. Or he's looking past the camera right at me man. its a trip maybe I'm the only one seeing it like this.
You're not alone on this one, Ray. Last time I saw David in concert, I was in the very last row, in the second balcony, all the way up against the wall. I literally had the worst seat in the house. The worst. And throughout the concert, when I looked at David through the binoculars, I swear to God I thought he was looking right at me. I even waved at him, on the off chance he'd wave back (he didn't.) One of the other people I went with had the exact same experience. "It was as though he was looking right at me!" he said. Yup. David could do that. He saw us. It was magic.
Underrated by whom? Are you daft? Anyone who knows anything about Bowie's early career understands it was Mick who masterminded the sound palette for Bowie's breakthrough albums: The Man Who Sold The World, Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, and Diamond Dogs. Mick also contributed to other Bowie projects including doing string arrangements. He was one of the most respected producers of his era as well. Check out his career achievements and the interviews with Mick at the Hammersmith Odeon theater that were done just a few months before he passed away. He was a gentle, good soul, and a hell of a musician.
Jaime Pascual they’re going to mars in 2020, I’m sure the first thing they’ll play up there is “Is there life on mars?” missed opportunity if they don’t
@Joe C I always felt that way too. First to sport orange hair which kids think today they're the first ones to do. Lol! Bowie has always been my favorite artist
I more or less lost interest when Mick left. He was one of the original Les Paul and Marshall tone meisters. I love the metal edge he added. Man who sold the world was a great album. Now, sorry to say, we have been deprived of them both.
Love Mick Ronson. Creative guitarist. Not wrapped up in playing 1000 mph like so many 80's players. More about emotion while still playing heavy. Underrated by far. The epitome of "cool". Sucked that he died young.
I love all of them, including the first 1967 album, except for three. I'll never forget the massive disappointment in playing 'Let's Dance' for the first time (on the day of its release). The next two, 'Tonight' and 'Never Let Me Down', were even worse. I thought he started getting much better on the Tin Machine records and reckon that by 'Outside' he was truly back. I don't think any of the post 'Scary Monsters' albums are as mind-fuckingly awesome as those made during the 1967-'80 run but on all of those post 'Outside' albums there are at least an EPs worth of gems.
@@blackmore4 One good thing that came out of his "Let's Dance" album is that it got a LOT of radio play (thanks largely to MTV in its heyday) and therefore brought plenty of new fans to the Bowie camp.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere But there's a really funny riposte to that line of thought about his new audience, and it came from the man himself. In a 90s interview, when being asked about his 80s work, he said... _"When I performed I was thinking, you all look like you should be seeing Phil Collins. Then I thought... hang on... I _*_sound_*_ like Phil Collins!"_ Hahaha
Bowie was the one who challenged the Status Quo! It was impossible to grow up loving the Man and his Music without accepting the ‘different’! It became necessary to try to understand and celebrate not just a ‘type’ but a Spectrum of Gender,Sexuality and Spirituality! It is a great sadness to see eyes,’hearts’ and Minds now starting to be battened down again by fear and hate,that had been cheerfully thrown open by love and desire for life! Rest in Peace Mr. Jones, nobody could have done more or better to help the people to love each other!
He is beautiful in any way shape or form. Just simply beautiful. Every little detail...the dimples.. the attractive and cheeky set of teeth; the EYES. Oh no...no... I just can't. He is so beautiful always. It is painful.
I saw him on the Diamond Dogs tour in Nashville. Half the audience looked like clones of Bowie. The theatrics were amazing! I'll never forget that show.
Yeah, that tour used some majorly eerie staging. Bleak, dystopian, dramatic all come to mind. Whatever I was using made the show almost scary. Good times!
Saw that tour in So Cal. Had seats that allowed to see what was going on behind the curtain! Fabulous show, one of the best I've seen. Named my cat Ziggy Stardust....
@@manung302 I particularly like the way he plays the single notes of the chord in the beginning and stays out of the way during the verses. Tasteful and smart.
Lord Lord "Everybody knows me now." these words from Lazarus, a song that released just before his death. I knew him before he died but I use to listen only one song of his: "The Man Who Sold The World", because of a TV Series called Fringe, there was a scene and in that scene Walter Bishop (a character from the show) played that song so I loved it. But I didn't listen any other song until the May (or April) 2016, I think his death pushed me to listen to his songs. And I read a lot about him in the summer. I loved him and I always will. Whatever. He also caused my discovery of the Beatles, and Beatles caused Beach Boys and many other. I am 15 now and I think I am going to be an artist. Because of him, of course.
He absolutely influenced punk, songs like Hang on to yourself, Queen Bitch, Surfagette City, all proto-punk but I wouldn’t say his aesthetic hugely inspired punk. A lot of the early-mid 70s bands were inspired by bands like the stones, stooges, mc5 & Marc Nolan aesthetically . I think Bowie’s aesthetic was too out there for punk, no one could pull it off apart from David.
i did a couple of times a true showman sddly missed dont forget this was 1972 i was 12 he was from another planet barbers even did a bowie cut ! back then !
its NOT a mullet...a mullet is very short on top and sides and long at the back eg ua-cam.com/video/byQIPdHMpjc/v-deo.html "Usually worn by people who were conventional people but tried to be "outrageous" by growing the back of their hair long while keeping the front very short so they could be a bank manager in the day and a rocker by night" a quote from my father who was in his 20s in the 80s. again Bowie never had a "mullet"
No one can compare to David Bowie! Truly amazing! My absolute favorite artist for the last 50 year. He’s such a beautiful gift. Passing his music on to my 10 & 12 year old boys! May his legend never be forgotten! ❤️❤️❤️
My ex and I used to dance around the living room to Space Oddity in order to make our son alternately smile/cringe/sing along when he was about 10. He's in high school now, so not that long ago. Great memories. :)
he looks like a girl and tried to make being feminine cool. Probably not the best thing to show young impressional boys the same year superman goes gay and there are dudes on playboys... See a trend here anyone?
Brilliant !!!!! A creative and talented genius , Mick Ronsoon on lead guitar is the icing on the cake !!! Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars is still my favorite album of all time !!
Me and my friend saw him at Salutation Hotel in Perth. Scotland in I think 1967. His hair was pretty long and he had on a black loose kinda shirt and black leather boots that came above his knees, almost pirate looking. He was really talented and entertaining!! We got his Autograph! ❤
David hits the high notes in this song, the emotion .... nails it. The audience never knew they were watching history in the making. I like his acoustic guitar - he added to the sound, too!
I could watch this a 1000 times and never get bored with it. It's astonishing in 2020 -how it must have seemed to teenagers in '72 is another thing altogether. Brilliantly put together. So much better than the official last concert release.
Ian McKenna - I know your question was rhetorical, but no, out never did get better than this IMO. This was Bowie's best line up by far. I saw him in '83 on the Serious Moonlight tour in Cleveland. Great show, and so glad to be able to say I saw him perform live, but the band wasn't nearly this good.
To this day, Mick Ronson remains one of my favorite guitar players. He plays for the song and the singer, period. That is rare and beautiful to behold.
He was amazing in concert! So glad I saw him in the 70's. Great editing here. I miss him so much!! Met him a couple of times and he was as nice as he was talented!! ❤️⚡️
Probably my favorite version of Ziggy. So much heaviness, rawness, and energy! Ronson’s guitar is just SMOKIN’, Woodmansey always laying it down HARD, and Bolder always locking that rhythm
Back in 1974, I played The LP over and over again. On that particuliar song, I remember vividly being struck by the resonance of the words "like a Leper Messiah"... in my ears and brain of a teenage french boy aged 12. Today, thanks to this brilliant footing, I experienced again the thrill of those 3 words. I'm glad to be able to relive such a transient but essential moment of pleasure. And, of course, the whole video is just astounding and out of this world, least you can expect from the Thin White Duke !
데이비드 보위 Ziggy Stardust Ziggy played guitar Ziggy는 기타 좀 쳤어 jamming good with Weird and Gilly Weird와 Gilly, 그리고 화성에서 온 거미들과 And the spiders from Mars 즉흥으로 말야 He played it left hand 그는 왼손으로 연주했는데 But made it too far, 그게 너무 굉장했는지 Became the special man 그는 특별한 사람이 되었고, then we were Ziggy's band 우린 Ziggy의 밴드가 되었지 Ziggy really sang Ziggy의 노래는 개쩔었어 screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo 맛이 간 눈과 휘갈기는 머리는 Like some cat from Japan 마치 일본산 고양이 같았지 he could lick 'em by smiling 그는 미소로 사람들을 핥아, He could leave 'em to hang 사람들을 뿅가게 해버렸지 'Came on so loaded man, 그는 매우 묵직한 사람이였고 well hung and snow white tan 피부는 눈처럼 하얬어 So where were the spiders, 그래서 거미들은 어딜 간건데 while the fly tried to break our balls 파리들이 우리 급소를 노리는 와중에 말야 With just the beer light to guide us, 그저 맥주 빛만이 우리를 인도하는구나 So we bitched about his fans and 그 녀석 팬들 좆되보라고 should we crush his sweet hands? 그 손을 작살내 버려야 했나? Ziggy played for time, Ziggy가 연주하던 때, jiving us that we were voodoo 누군가 우리가 사짜라고 헛소릴 하더군 The kid was just crass, 그 애송이들은 멍청했고 he was the nazz with God given ass Ziggy는 신이 내린 엉덩이를 가진 멋진 녀석이였지 He took it all too far 그는 너무 멀리 가버렸어 but boy, could he play guitar 하지만 애송아, 그는 기타를 친다고 Making love with his ego Ziggy는 자아와 사랑을 나누던 도중, Ziggy sucked up into his mind 그는 자신의 정신속으로 빨려 들어갔어 Like a leper messiah 마치 문둥병의 구세주처럼 말야 When the kids had killed the man 애송이들이 그를 죽였을때 I had to break up the band 나는 밴드를 해산할 수 밖에 없었어 Ziggy played guitar Ziggy는 기타를 연주하네
Unreal talent. There was a period when I didn't listen to anything else.... and Mick Ronson was such a perfect fit for that sound. Thanks David, for the gift you gave us.
Manchester Free Trade Hall-Hardrock Stretford Manchester-Liverpool a boxing Stadium seen 3 times.......@ free trade hall Bowie gave the album vinyl thrown off the stage and was not full empty seats! Top Memories class act...........Just Brilliant.
How come this is by far the best version of this song on youtube. The one musician better live than in the studio. guitar is actually in tune. holy shit.
David Sussex? You mean, that 1-hit wonder who had that enduring hit, "Rock On" (or whatever it's really called...you know "see her dance on movie screens...Jimmy Dean..."...
I am in 2024!!!!❤

The raw power of Ronson's guitar, still unique, still underrated, still relevant. uff.
and for my taste, with excessive volume
He is one of those who shows that all you need is a guitar and a Marshall stack. He gets immense mileage out of a super-basic setup.

Aint nobody going to Mars, that's pipedream.
Bowie, the original punk rocker! He was punk before there was punk!
Interesting Joe C Probably right
i would consider him a glam rock original
the who in my opinion were original punkers
I would argue Iggy came first, but Bowie is also a good candidate.
@Joe C I always felt that way too. First to sport orange hair which kids think today they're the first ones to do. Lol! Bowie has always been my favorite artist

He is beautiful in any way shape or form. Just simply beautiful. Every little detail...the dimples.. the attractive and cheeky set of teeth; the EYES. Oh no...no... I just can't. He is so beautiful always. It is painful.
In 1972 i was only 7 years old i thought Ziggy Star Dust was an alien
Myron Smith you were right ; )
Myron Smith I was 7 too
my cousin uded to babysit me brought albums like ziggy t rex and that but that song stuck out for me.
Steve Mcniel - I remember the outfits and the hair
Man, I wasn't even an idea by 1972..
Myron Smith +
I saw him on the Diamond Dogs tour in Nashville. Half the audience looked like clones of Bowie. The theatrics were amazing! I'll never forget that show.
Yeah, that tour used some majorly eerie staging. Bleak, dystopian, dramatic all come to mind. Whatever I was using made the show almost scary. Good times!
I was at the concert in Nashville, and we dressed for the occasion. Great Concert!!!
sounds like fun
WOW unbelievable, my god, Diamond Dogs is the album that changed my life, I knew I was not alone! What a lucky man you are
Saw that tour in So Cal. Had seats that allowed to see what was going on behind the curtain! Fabulous show, one of the best I've seen. Named my cat Ziggy Stardust....
This album came out exactly 50 years ago today, 6th of June 1972. Happy anniversary!
16th. Today
50 years ago, christ, I was just an embryo!!
Same time Roxy Music came out.
Wouldn't be the same without Ronno, RIP Mick Ronson
Mick R was among the best. There’d be no Ziggy without Ronson’s contributions.
Would have been nothing without him.
Mic was a GR8 lead guitarist and song arranger
@@bondioneohfourthree7488 mick was a master of dynamics. he played super loud but could bring it down too.
You can say that again...got to stand 3 ft from him at a small club him and Ian played ...I watched in amazement !
Ronson made him a superstar. His playing and arrangements were the key.
I don't know the band members by name. But, Im guessing you mean the guitarist?
Because, that was the best I'v ever heard that song played. 100!
@@nodaysback1 Right. The guitarist's name is Mick Ronson.
@@manung302 I particularly like the way he plays the single notes of the chord in the beginning and stays out of the way during the verses. Tasteful and smart.
So brilliant ... I hope my Bowie interpretations on UA-cam make him smile from far far away .... cool
@@nodaysback1 hell of a shout out, watched this dozens of times and never noticed that👏👍
godddamnit he was so good. its still hurts my soul that he's gone.
he went home to Mars
Me too. ); I cried for days and days after I heard. );
Kyle W I can't get over his loss. I am 56 years old. I was lucky to have seen him in concert 5 times.
kdecrow1 lucky you! David was older but followed him nearly all my life. And that's a long time. Still saddened he's no longer with us...
yeh, it's the fucking Pitts. who we got now?? 😥😥😥😥
Just imagine being in that audience watching Bowie play live
Im a relatively new Bowie fan but this is a fantastic video. well formatted
Me too. I really started to listen him after his death.
Lord Lord "Everybody knows me now." these words from Lazarus, a song that released just before his death. I knew him before he died but I use to listen only one song of his: "The Man Who Sold The World", because of a TV Series called Fringe, there was a scene and in that scene Walter Bishop (a character from the show) played that song so I loved it. But I didn't listen any other song until the May (or April) 2016, I think his death pushed me to listen to his songs. And I read a lot about him in the summer. I loved him and I always will. Whatever. He also caused my discovery of the Beatles, and Beatles caused Beach Boys and many other. I am 15 now and I think I am going to be an artist. Because of him, of course.
I wrote a lot I hope someone read it and understand my feelings :))
Mrs Hudson ........I admire your taste but a "Mrs". at 15 seems a bit steep? Never wish your life away, it goes all too quickly!
I started listening to him 3 days before his death, you don't know how shocked and sad I was at the day he passed away..
years later, punk fashion ripped off David Bowie's aesthetics specially his hairstyle
If you listen to the song Hang On To Yourself, musical ''aesthetics'' as well :-)
Influenced so may uk punk bands and took the glam crown as well imo. Legend.😢
He absolutely influenced punk, songs like Hang on to yourself, Queen Bitch, Surfagette City, all proto-punk but I wouldn’t say his aesthetic hugely inspired punk. A lot of the early-mid 70s bands were inspired by bands like the stones, stooges, mc5 & Marc Nolan aesthetically
. I think Bowie’s aesthetic was too out there for punk, no one could pull it off apart from David.
God. You're great. I love these so much!
Thanks. I have more treats on the way....
+mister sussex YAY! You've got me all excited now, heh.
Rachel S.
Thanks a lot for uploading this treasure.
I can't stop crying the David Bowie's death.
emelie sureus
Who's listening 2023? 💕😍
Mi'se.
Hell yeah!
Why stop now?❤
@@xtheunknown4662 Yes now! 🥰❤️
HIII 👋👋👋
Mick Ronson’s playing and tone here.. Wow.. R.I.P.
It makes me jealous how on the '72 Santa Monica Live album, it shows a ticket from that concert saying the cost was only $5.50.
Not to kill the vibe but do you know what inflation is?
According to CPI inflation calculator that's about 32 bucks in today's money
I bought my first Bowie album in 1980 (Scary Monsters) it cost $7.99 lol
Samuel Järred And a new car was 4,000, and ten bucks an hour was good money.
good concert seats nowadays are easily $300
I never got to see him in concert. Thank you so much for this. Really.
Just think how good the uk ziggy tour must have been with ROXY MUSIC at their most Glam as opening act
i did a couple of times a true showman sddly missed dont forget this was 1972 i was 12 he was from another planet barbers even did a bowie cut ! back then !
Rest In Peace David Bowie❤️ (January 8th 1947-January 10th 2016)
6 years without you:(
@2,05,. Rono! Boy could he play guitar.
he the best!😍🎸❤
Key to success - ignore everyone and do it your own way!
100% correct, Bowie proved it.
........and have some talent.
……as long as you’re a genius !
The secret of life
RANDY JUDAH TALK 🎼❤️
Very cool
for some reason i just knew i’d see ur comment here
You’re everywhere lmao
goddamn it not again
legendry hair
Hey now, I'm a living ziggy, I take it too far on my channel with make up and a guitar that really cries
He was so ahead of his time...it still hasn’t arrived!! ❤❤
He was of his time
This man had the 80s mullet in the year 1972. What does that tell you about him? 😂
That is NOT a mullet!!!! Oooof. That is a shag haircut that happens to be longer than a regular shag.
@@lemurianchick 100% truth
...but Austin's comment is kinda on point all the same.
its NOT a mullet...a mullet is very short on top and sides and long at the back eg ua-cam.com/video/byQIPdHMpjc/v-deo.html
"Usually worn by people who were conventional people but tried to be "outrageous" by growing the back of their hair long while keeping the front very short so they could be a bank manager in the day and a rocker by night" a quote from my father who was in his 20s in the 80s.
again Bowie never had a "mullet"
No one can compare to David Bowie! Truly amazing! My absolute favorite artist for the last 50 year. He’s such a beautiful gift. Passing his music on to my 10 & 12 year old boys! May his legend never be forgotten! ❤️❤️❤️
My ex and I used to dance around the living room to Space Oddity in order to make our son alternately smile/cringe/sing along when he was about 10. He's in high school now, so not that long ago. Great memories. :)
he looks like a girl and tried to make being feminine cool. Probably not the best thing to show young impressional boys the same year superman goes gay and there are dudes on playboys... See a trend here anyone?
So brilliant ... I hope my Bowie interpretations on UA-cam make him smile from far far away .... cool
During the Eighties Echo and the Bunnymen beat Bowie at his own game.
Mick Ronson was much more than a Guitar player, he was one of the greatest music arrangers/producers of his time.
Lee McDaid - Donegal 60fps
He was brilliant.
He was amazing
So true,he arranged Life on Mars mostly by himself,God bless the amazing Mick Ronson!God bless BOWIE!
His live backing vocals are also jaw dropping
Agreed my friend
Brilliant !!!!! A creative and talented genius , Mick Ronsoon on lead guitar is the icing on the cake !!! Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars is still my favorite album of all time !!
Piaceva a parecchi, si trovavano i sui dischi! Peccato, come altri che non sia più tra noi vivi!
Ziggy Forever
youpi444 and ever and ever
youpi444
youpi444 I agree:)
youpi444 AND ALWAYS!!!!💝💞💟💫💫💥
Stardust also :)
The sound on this is amazing. It feels so deep and real compared to the clean CD version
R I P David beautiful Human Being
hes alive hes at mars
Of course he's in mars, but that's for all we know until they find him in mars RIP david "ziggy stardust" bowie
+Dum Dum Monster And Elon musk is going to take us there to see him!
Nope he was an alien
oh, was he gay?
Me and my friend saw him at Salutation Hotel in Perth. Scotland in I think 1967. His hair was pretty long and he had on a black loose kinda shirt and black leather boots that came above his knees, almost pirate looking. He was really talented and entertaining!! We got his Autograph! ❤
God bless Mick Ronson who has never been given the recognition he deserves in his part in these fabulous songs
You know you’re bad ass when your live performance sounds better than studio recordings!
Some love for an incredible bass player, Trevor Bolder. Listen to his bass runs on "John I'm Only Dancing" guy was a beast and a lyrical player.
And Width of A Circle on the Santa Monica live album. Thankfully after Bowie rudely left him hanging he had a good career with Uriah Heep
I'm trying to get this version's bass line. It has so much differences from the album version and I really love it.
David hits the high notes in this song, the emotion .... nails it. The audience never knew they were watching history in the making. I like his acoustic guitar - he added to the sound, too!
I could watch this a 1000 times and never get bored with it. It's astonishing in 2020 -how it must have seemed to teenagers in '72 is another thing altogether. Brilliantly put together. So much better than the official last concert release.
Amazing job. And Ronno's guitar, oh my god... can it ever get any better than that.
no it cant, it is not possible
Ian McKenna i
Ian McKenna Woah, that's awesome!
Ian McKenna - I know your question was rhetorical, but no, out never did get better than this IMO. This was Bowie's best line up by far. I saw him in '83 on the Serious Moonlight tour in Cleveland. Great show, and so glad to be able to say I saw him perform live, but the band wasn't nearly this good.
To this day, Mick Ronson remains one of my favorite guitar players. He plays for the song and the singer, period. That is rare and beautiful to behold.
Mmm his outfit looks so comfy~ I want to wear it
ICON FOREVER Thank you very much. God bless always Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸
He was amazing in concert! So glad I saw him in the 70's. Great editing here. I miss him so much!! Met him a couple of times and he was as nice as he was talented!! ❤️⚡️
I saw him perform. Great for you that you got to meet him. Even better you found him to be nice
janis crutchfield what your so lucky I am nine so I never got to see him
mark gates thank goodness for all the great video. He and his music will live on forever!! He truly was one of the nicest artists I ever met!! ⚡️❤️
White Samurai I felt very lucky to meet him the 1st. The 2nd time was magic!! ❤️⚡️
John Kurtz he was the best!! ❤️⚡️
What a talent ❤ RIP David Bowie ❤
And RIP Mick RONSON too 😭
@@MrStrat01 My thoughts exactly - Mick died way too soon, 'Billy Porter'.
Probably my favorite version of Ziggy. So much heaviness, rawness, and energy! Ronson’s guitar is just SMOKIN’, Woodmansey always laying it down HARD, and Bolder always locking that rhythm
Amazing footage....took me right back to when I was 19. Many thanks
19? I was 3!!! But know what?
No one will ever compare to Bowie! LEGEND! ;) x
OMG! Where did you manage to find this!!??? Awesome!!!
He was a little fairy....
Pre goth. What's your point?
This is STILL unparalleled.
Back in 1974, I played The LP over and over again. On that particuliar song, I remember vividly being struck by the resonance of the words "like a Leper Messiah"... in my ears and brain of a teenage french boy aged 12. Today, thanks to this brilliant footing, I experienced again the thrill of those 3 words. I'm glad to be able to relive such a transient but essential moment of pleasure. And, of course, the whole video is just astounding and out of this world, least you can expect from the Thin White Duke !
"leather Messiah", I thought
Me too! I just learned that after 40 years

Saw him in pgh pa and he was grand

Ziggy Stardust
Ziggy played guitar
Ziggy는 기타 좀 쳤어
jamming good with Weird and Gilly
Weird와 Gilly, 그리고 화성에서 온 거미들과
And the spiders from Mars
즉흥으로 말야
He played it left hand
그는 왼손으로 연주했는데
But made it too far,
그게 너무 굉장했는지
Became the special man
그는 특별한 사람이 되었고,
then we were Ziggy's band
우린 Ziggy의 밴드가 되었지
Ziggy really sang
Ziggy의 노래는 개쩔었어
screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
맛이 간 눈과 휘갈기는 머리는
Like some cat from Japan
마치 일본산 고양이 같았지
he could lick 'em by smiling
그는 미소로 사람들을 핥아,
He could leave 'em to hang
사람들을 뿅가게 해버렸지
'Came on so loaded man,
그는 매우 묵직한 사람이였고
well hung and snow white tan
피부는 눈처럼 하얬어
So where were the spiders,
그래서 거미들은 어딜 간건데
while the fly tried to break our balls
파리들이 우리 급소를 노리는 와중에 말야
With just the beer light to guide us,
그저 맥주 빛만이 우리를 인도하는구나
So we bitched about his fans and
그 녀석 팬들 좆되보라고
should we crush his sweet hands?
그 손을 작살내 버려야 했나?
Ziggy played for time,
Ziggy가 연주하던 때,
jiving us that we were voodoo
누군가 우리가 사짜라고 헛소릴 하더군
The kid was just crass,
그 애송이들은 멍청했고
he was the nazz with God given ass
Ziggy는 신이 내린 엉덩이를 가진 멋진 녀석이였지
He took it all too far
그는 너무 멀리 가버렸어
but boy, could he play guitar
하지만 애송아, 그는 기타를 친다고
Making love with his ego
Ziggy는 자아와 사랑을 나누던 도중,
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
그는 자신의 정신속으로 빨려 들어갔어
Like a leper messiah
마치 문둥병의 구세주처럼 말야
When the kids had killed the man
애송이들이 그를 죽였을때
I had to break up the band
나는 밴드를 해산할 수 밖에 없었어
Ziggy played guitar
Ziggy는 기타를 연주하네
Unreal talent. There was a period when I didn't listen to anything else.... and Mick Ronson was such a perfect fit for that sound. Thanks David, for the gift you gave us.
Bowie was a true rockstar....
Ziggy is stardust now, on Mars...🤩🤩💥✨⚡️💫☄️☄️☄️. We miss you Ziggy😢
Outstanding piece of editing - well done you!
Probably my favorite youtube video. God what a fucking era. Him and Bolan are indomitable.
Perfect rock song. Perfect album. Really great live performance too!
Fuckin' Great
Conceptually, Bowie was blowing through 80's when everyone was barely in the 70's.
2180's
Might have been a bit further
He was always well ahead of his time. RIP David!
he talked to 100 gecs in 1964
80s hair and 90s Versace style outfit in the early 70s. Pioneer
SANCTVS lol
Good lord, keep doing this!
Manchester Free Trade Hall-Hardrock Stretford Manchester-Liverpool a boxing Stadium seen 3 times.......@ free trade hall Bowie gave the album vinyl thrown off the stage and was not full empty seats! Top Memories class act...........Just Brilliant.
i love this😍💗💗
Ziggy⚡ played🎸 n boy so could Ronno too🎸😍💗💗
An old trick is to play an acoustic guitar while the real guitarist are playing the music
I imagine his acoustic would have been audible
Acoustic guitars are actually real guitars fyi. Do you actually think Mick Ronson would have been known if he wasn't part of the Bowie universe?
J'écoute en 2024❤❤❤ mes parents écoutaient avant moi ❤❤❤
いまだに、彼がこの世からいなくなったことに実感がわかない。
I still don't feel that he is gone from this world.
I saw Bowie at the forum is LA 1974 sat front row. He was amazing. Very entertaining great show. Spiders from Mars. Great memory
So darn lucky and I’m very Jelly!!
Never saw him live huge.regret.
