I was at this show. A great night. Bowie, if memory serves, only played his own songs until Lou came out. Then he played Lou’s songs. A true sign of respect and admiration.
I love how Lou looks at David like a proud father or older brother. both such brilliant minds and talented beings, my love for them is unending. I was born too late.
Freddie Mercury,Marc Bolan,David Bowie and Lou Reed are together in a band in HEAVEN!!!Along with Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,John Lennon and Jim Morrison they are jamming!!!!!!!!!
David Bowie and Lou Reed are a killer combination 🎉🎉. They are 2 icons playing music 🎶 🎵 together, and it's a stellar performance 🎉🎉. They both sound amazing 🎉🎉
Bowie is ridiculously cool. No effort required by the man. Both Lou and David were putting out decent music around this time. "Ecstacy" is one of Lou's best solo albums IMHO. All I Wanna know is where's Iggy? Woulda been perfect if he'd crashed the party.
+batwingedloony No kidding. You would really have to wonder about a crowd that would be booing Lou Reed and David Bowie. It's impossible to have that many clueless people in one place at one time!!
+Ricky Rhoades The same thing happens at Bruce Springsteen concerts. Everyone shouts Bruuuce which als sounds a lot like booing. I find it annoying tbh.
Yes, two major contributors to the scene in the modern age--that means early seventies and on. Cool to see them trading riffs and commaraderie. Thanks to UA-cam that we can enjoy them now. And....thanks for the upload!
Two brilliant men who are sadly missed. This is a great performance and I just love the little bits of banter between them whilst they sing, you can tell they were friends. I just hope this is happening somewhere else right now.
I can only imagine the electricity that was in the air during this performance. Lou with the intense, sensual power and David with the drama and spice! They were two of the rare coolest artists of all. This concert will need to be purchased! Thank you for sharing.
+Chilli Whippet NEVER! I've just created a celebration for myself with Bowie. For the rest of my life, January is going to be David Bowie month for me. ALL BOWIE ALL THE TIME. January is kind of a bland month so now I have something to look forward to every January!!

I want someone to look at me like Lou Reed looked at David Bowie
Friendship.& Good Music is beautiful.
Adri Rom : I know 😭
If Reed had been as beautiful and stylish as Bowie, with his songs … time would have stopped somewhere around Lexington 125.
Lou Reed & David Bowie together are sublime.

...Now Prince joining
What a jam... add SRV
That rare thing.....Lou Reed smiling!
After their epic fallout in 1979, it's good to see David and Lou
back again.
can't get much cooler than bowie and lou together.
Agree.... Portugal :)
agree Germany :D
08:20' "feeling so good" and you can tell, for Bowie's smile. I love to see him happy.

Beautiful to see their friendship in this performance... they just effing love each other. My heart... my eyes.. my ears. All the love. X
That was Dynamite!!!! Heck The King of New York actually smiled!
I NEVER EVER EVER GET TIRED OF THIS VIDEO.🎶
I miss my Starman ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I was lucky enough to attend this concert when I was still a teenager. He was brilliant!
The memory of these two gentlemen will live for at least a thousand years...
Thank God for UA-cam where we can revisit legends such as Reed and Bowie forever.
Two best rock and rollers of all time. Having the time of their life.
2 legendary performers
R.i.p both great legend singer .
Queen Bitch always made me think of The Velvet Underground.
It’s great seeing the looks between these two hooligans while on stage, they’ve seen and been through a lot together. 🤘🤙
Damn 50 seems so young now; huge deal then. Amazing performance!!!
There is so much inner joy that constantly seeps out of David Bowie I can feel it and it increases my own.
Bowie is ridiculously cool. No effort required by the man.
Both Lou and David were putting out decent music around this time. "Ecstacy" is one of Lou's best solo albums IMHO. All I Wanna know is where's Iggy? Woulda been perfect if he'd crashed the party.
Yeah, it would have been awesome to hear them play something off The Idiot, and maybe even Raw Power
Incredible performances. Strung out in heavens high together now.
Oh, the feels! Seeing my two childhood & lifelong heroes like this...time just marches on.
+Erin Piccolo It's times like this that remind us that growing old is truly not for sissies.
That's the greatest thing I've read today! Thank you! I needed to read that.
What great memories... Lou may you rest in peace... and you are sorely missed
just as well I wasn't there. I would have died of happiness to see both these gods on stage together.
two beautiful souls partying in heaven now
David, RIP........one request......say hello to Lou for me.
-and Freddie.
David: "Well Lou, it's 1997 and we're still waiting for songwriters to match us and Dylan..."
Still waiting.
+Ashley Burns It's gonna be a looooonnnnng fucking wait if ever!
+Ashley Burns Truer words were never spoken.
+Ashley Burns Never again...
Ashley Burns Cobain?
2nd Ward Not...
Look at Lou looking at Bowie - he's so in love w/him. I'm disappointed they didn't kis.s
Saw Dave in 1983 in Birmingham. He was, of course, top quality.
Incredible video of two incredible Rockers.....Bowie and Reed.....They truly are "White Light/ White Heat".....
They're not booing. They're Louinng!
+Ricky Rhoades wow, that makes so much more sense hahaha. i was like "wtf are these wastes of life booing about?"
+batwingedloony No kidding. You would really have to wonder about a crowd that would be booing Lou Reed and David Bowie. It's impossible to have that many clueless people in one place at one time!!
+Ricky Rhoades
The same thing happens at Bruce Springsteen concerts.
Everyone shouts Bruuuce which als sounds a lot like booing.
I find it annoying tbh.
+nallly they weren't booing, they were saying "loouuu"
+KeyToSuccess - Bruuuuuuuce!! "I know my name!"
Bowie and Reed two giants of Rock…on stage together is like watching a star constellation in motion…
Simply awesome.... Lou is the coolest man in NYC and Bowie... well the coolest EVER!
Genau - er wird immer bei uns sein - nur in einer anderen Form der
Energie.
That Reeves Gabrels is an animal on guitar. He gets the sound of the cranked up guitar sound from Queen Bitch perfectly.
Yes, a pity camera avoids him; he's absolutely awesome and his sound and playing is crucial on both tracks!
what a fantastic concert in heaven....bowie, mercury, lou reed, gary moore, robert palmer , Dio, Lemmy, zappa...I miss you...
Wow! Thanks for uploading. Brilliant sound.
Totally FANTASTIC ❤️❤️
King of New York himself, Mr. Lou Reed
Bowie sounds so great live..so fucking great..rest in peace David... you are sorely missed ..Lou Reed and Bowie..wow! wow! wow!
Yes...Yes...Yes...Thank you Lou Reed...and David Bowie...and to all who have gone on before you...Miss you both dearly!
Only Bowie could out-Lou Reed Lou Reed.
Thats good.
Great comment
SO great how they loved each other.
He out-rocked the Stones with "Let's Spend the Night Together" and he is the ONLY guy who could hold his own with Lou, who was pretty damn cool.
Brilliant, Bowie at his best, performing and producing, just beautiful

This Timing in the end ..with these three breaks ..incl the electronic pleasure..mmm
Image is everything here, music is just secondary,
At the time when this song was written , it was not done to sing 'I am waiting for my man'; luckily we have emancipated, a.o.thanks to Reed and Bowie.
unbelievable legends rip bowie x
This makes me so happy that these two were bros.
Too cool
legends !!!!!!!
Ah, the soundtrack of my youth! Thank you so much for uploading, you've made me very happy : )
Great find to have one electric and an acoustic guitar and you can hear both.
LOU I LOVE YOU FOREVER ...IN MY HEART LOU
one of the most exciting songs ever.. both by Bowie..and this one with dear Lou :)
lordy....greatest ....missed.....xxxxxxx
This rocks
Awesome Stuff. Bowie's own velvets pastiche covered with the great man himself
this Waiting. ..can only happen between Real Mates...in rock & swing & poetry
awesome : )
Never ever thought Iggy Pop will outlive Lou Reed and David Bowie.
Maybe it was all that peanut butter. Lots of protein.
Never doubted it for a second.
The getting naked dancing helped keep Iggy fit.
twas the dog food...
Neither did I.
The coolest man in New York with the coolest man in the world!!
nallly Bowie genuinely liked singing Lou reeds songs. Lou thought that was pretty darn good. Lol
David was 50 here and looked better than most 20 years old. Amazing!
He deep sixed way before Bowie!!!
