Placebo doing "20th Century Boy" with Bowie, "Where is my Mind" with Charles Thompson, and Molko doing "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" with The Cure. Phew! Those guys could die pretty happy.
@@Azabaxe80Also, Bowie asked them if he could be a guest on their song (Without You I'm Nothing) after hearing it, saying "If I can't be on it, I'll do a cover". That must have been a massive pump to their egos.
God this would have meant SO MUCH to Bowie - everyone in London was near heart broken when Bolen died. It was so close to home - a little tight knitt commiteee of London singers. He was gonna live forever - that was such a sad occasion. You guys you dont realise for people in music - when it was still REAL - it was like Diana dying. x So glad Bowie got to do this x
Sad Molko was overlooked for the 2016 Brit Awards tribute they were very close friends. Brit Awards going for commercial appeal over who Bowie would have preferred.
"Starman" was the first single I ever bought (aged 7.) I saw Bowie perform it on Top of the Pops when Mick Ronson put his arm around him. The outrage in the papers the next day, but to me he was an oasis of colour and glamour in my brown and beige 70s childhood. I think that's where my love of the androgynous boys began so it's little wonder that I've been a massive Placebo fan for the last 20 years. They're such an incredible live band and Brian is one hell of a beautiful man. I would have loved to have seen them perform together.
It’s clear to me that Marc died and I’ve gotten over it over the years, what he would be like today, I don’t even want to imagine, but the eternal young man, the chameleon of rock David that he grew old and died? I can't come to terms with that. Not yet even though I'm 61 years old. 😎🎸🤔💖 Fantastic performance of Marc's bestseller
I'm a big Bowie fan and my workmate's brother worked for Radio 1 so we got a couple of free tickets to the Brits that year. I had no idea that Bowie was going to come on. I don't remember much because I had some sort of nervous meltdown.
Superbe reprise d'un des plus grands titres de T.REX dont le leader Marc Bolan est décédé trop jeune dans un accident de voiture . Magnifique hommage et magnifique prestation De Brian et David .
Thanks for posting! I just found this by accident and have viewed several times! Bowie is the consumate rock and roller. I would like to see anyone today, do what he did!
I love one of the great independent songs of my life being played by a commercial band at an industry event. If there was an authenticity left in popular music, it certainly died that day...although they did do a great job.
Both Bowie and Molko have beautiful babies, though, obviously, not together. Cody Molko is such a talented young actor! And Bowie has grandchildren now! (well, off course his own Duncan and Lexi are both talented and beautiful).
Bowie was the godfather to Marc Bolan's son Rolan. Marc separated from his wife in 1973, but they never legally divorced. So when Bolan died, all of his royalties reverted to her because they were still legally married. The big problem was that Rolan's mom and Marc's partner, Gloria Jones was badly injured in the car crash that killed Bolan. She would never sing again and Rolan had no access to his father's royalties. David Bowie stepped in and paid for Rolan's schooling, paid for many bills and kept Gloria and Rolan from becoming destitute or homeless. Bolan's legal wife died in 1994. Only then did Rolan gain access to his father's royalties. That is when Bowie stopped supporting Rolan Bolan.
Diganme si estoy en lo correcto, pero las coristas de esta presentación son Jordan Bailey y Georgia Lewis. las mismas que estuvieron con Depeche Mode durante la gira del Exciter Tour y que aparecen en el DVD One Night In Paris.

For placebo, this must have been a 'now I can die' moment. Lucky bastards.
Placebo doing "20th Century Boy" with Bowie, "Where is my Mind" with Charles Thompson, and Molko doing "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" with The Cure. Phew! Those guys could die pretty happy.

I was waitressing a table at the back that night. I deserted my table for this, so glad that I did. Fantastic!
+Julia Devitt u are sooooo lucky
Wow what a story ^^
That's reeeally "special" , Julie.
And what about under table fun with any toy of any of these boys?!
Wow, fantastic story!
This version is so good. I love it. Love David Bowie, Marc Bolan and Placebo.
Bolan himself would of loved this , brilliant version, and to see Bowie loving it is brilliant too .
'would of'. Thick as schitt.
I love how David Bowie is such an influence for both of my favorite bands: Placebo and Arcade Fire.
Yeah,me too! Arcade fire my fave band thanks to my idol Bowie!
Such awesome bands my love x check out Kate Bush
All influenced by master Marc Bolan, whose version has not been topped
Bowie would be nothing without Bolan. I love them both-but imagine a world where they still exist together..
@@reneharde3459 And never will be...

Placebo and Bowie covering a tune by Bolan. It is so fitting, and a great performance.

Bowie was awesome and Brian (Placebo) so underrated. Great band
what a fantastic BLAST! David Bowie RIP Marc Bolan RIP both in Rock Paradise
I guess they where friends back then right?

Fantastic performance of Marc's bestseller
Fantastic tribute to Marc Bolan !

These guys should have toured together seem to be haveing a blast
They did
I imagine Bowie would have personally known Bolan, so this would be bittersweet for him...
I'm a poor fangirl watchin' this, mercy please. Bowie & Molko, the perfect duet~
😅😅😅👍👍👍
so amazing... it should be millions of views
Superbe reprise d'un des plus grands titres de T.REX dont le leader Marc Bolan est décédé trop jeune dans un accident de voiture . Magnifique hommage et magnifique prestation De Brian et David .
20th century boy - I want to be Your toy! Great! What A PERFORMANCE! They really ROCK!
So much power - Bolan is with them.
Great to see no dislikes and what an epic version of the song, love bowie and placebo and you gotta love t-rex.
Why do all the great duets seem to involve David Bowie?
+beggar1015 so true. Bowie had a great taste in other artists.
because he's God
Because Bowie is what makes them great. Every great artist in the business today has a thumbprint of Bowie on their heart and in their music.
Well said, Carrie. So true!!!
@@angelesziggy God is no David Bowie.
High power energy - guaranteed goosebumps every time... happy birthday, Bowie.
Thanks for posting! I just found this by accident and have viewed several times! Bowie is the consumate rock and roller. I would like to see anyone today, do what he did!
I knew this song since a very long time but never with David Bowie's "help" - it's great !
It was written in the stars that I love this, my grans maiden name is Bolan and married name is Bowie. Epic.
Fantastic cover. Love it! R.I.P. Mr. Bowie.
and RIP Marc.
Jan 1st 2017 and still loving it.
This Is Best than whole history of Grammy's
One of my fave songs...
Great cover of superb TRex song.
So cool.i love this cover.lucky to see david bowei also here.i have lots of respect to him.RIP.
Bolan genius
Bolan, Bowie & Brian. That would've been a great project. :)
I have it on good authority the David and Marc have always collaborated - in spirit.
Love Bowie great voice
You don't say ;)
They don't write 'em like this, anymore - Bravo Bolan...
I'd pay for an HD sound of this.
Awesome performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...
legends! 🩶
incrível! melhor cover, esses dois juntos sempre é show na certa, talentoso David que faleceu, mas sempre no coração de quem ama a música e o Rock.
fantástico.. fantástico . demais Bowie amado para sempre ..
Wow - two of my favourite musical heroes together! Thanks!
I love one of the great independent songs of my life being played by a commercial band at an industry event. If there was an authenticity left in popular music, it certainly died that day...although they did do a great job.
Placebo were NOT a commercial band!
Bowie sings a song by his friend Marc Bolan! A fitting tribute.
R.I.P. David Bowie
Awesome version!
THANK YOU for posting this!!!!
wow David looks fantastic! (but thats nothing new)
And he was 52 there!
A moment in time
What beautiful babies Bowie & Molko could have made
+singIeservingfriend but he has Duncan and Lexi..they re beautiful!
You’re sick or brainwashed? Chose
Both Bowie and Molko have beautiful babies, though, obviously, not together. Cody Molko is such a talented young actor! And Bowie has grandchildren now! (well, off course his own Duncan and Lexi are both talented and beautiful).
Hell yes, this is sick
Brians vocals bang on
I've just released a tribute to David & Ukraine on YT ... I hope my vocals & lyric changes do not offend fans ... its a crazy world.
BOWIE RULES! ImI
hell yeah !
Diggy Dillwipper rules...
Holy shit! Did I just die and went to Heaven?!! OMG!!
fantástico demais... adoro.. adoro
Holy WOW this is greatness!!!!!
my heart
Bloody hell
That's good!
Utterly timeless 😊
You would have thought Bowie would have got the lyric right!!!!
colin wright even the pros get it wrong sometimes. 😎
the key is to act like thats what you meant to sing
Gotta gotta get Placebo tickets.Bowie thought they were great,what a legend.
What a legend
Even got the first line right, most people think "robin hood" is "rock and roll"....Kudos!
i love this song yet this one is a fucking kick in the balls that did marc bolan proud.
This is so amazing!! ❤❤❤❤
I've just released a tribute to David & Ukraine on YT ... I hope my vocals & lyric changes do not offend fans ... its a crazy world.

Masters of Music!
I'm a little old for Placebo but after watching this maybe I need to check them out.
Awesome !!!!!!!!!
I Love Bowie
This performance stole the show!
MARC BOLAN IS SHOOK
This is epic music
r.i.p David Bowie xxx
Oh this is great! And right around the time that Velvet Goldmine was released.
love to see them together
Awesome as ever x x

maravilhoso demais Bowie
how do you stand still to this?!
Travis Thornton Restraints, mainly.
People who are dull and hate music! People who depressed middle aged and moan at everything!
wow....brillant.
Looks to me as though David and Brian should have swapped guitars before performing... The size differences! xD
Should have played a Les Paul.
why is this not more posted....awesome..

Adorei esta música, ele era THE BEST.
a T. Rex song by David Bowie's friend Marc Bolan
EXCELENTE RELIQUIAAAAAA
Marc 🎤✨⚡🎩💘🎶😍
sighs. love. x
What if life was like this all the time
I was gonna say Marc would have loved it - but actually he would be thinking - not as good as mine, lol
And he'd be right, of course!
SOO TRUU SLAYYY
A " Friend " bought me here 👁️☝️
Man i need TV when i got T.REX !
I adore the song and DRJ of course))
love

cool to have it posted by Placebo themselves on their FB page :)
