True that. They both lifted a lot from their influences and also added influences to remain relevant. But, they both had the eye to identify the potential in something and the ability to transcend it into something more.
@@nickburmanmusic to experience that live was absolutely hair raising stuff, playing bass and singing can be a challenge but to do what she did while gluing everyone together cosmic!!
He had the kind of face that looked good in any hair style, and the kind of body that looked good in any fashion, and just generally looked good in everything...
One of my main childhood memories are of my parents blasting this song and album in the house. They also took me to see him in concert - the tour supporting this album. We were in the 7th row somehow. My dad is very loud and he walked into the aisle and screamed louder than ever, 'PLAY PABLO PICASSO.' Everyone else in the arena was also screaming so overall it blended in. Sadly, my child (at the time) brain only retained the memory of Suffragette City and Under Pressure. I think my face the entire time was this: :O and o.o
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video now. After 40 years of being a fan, to me this is perfect Bowie. I'm always glued to the screen, can't look away.
I wish A Reality Tour had been done more like this. All the fancy camera angles and effects got a little much. Here you aren't distracted from the magic of pure Bowie.
I was too young to ever get to see him perform live 😢 By the time I’d even heard that he was coming to Tampa back in 2004, the concert had already sold out - not that I had the money as a tween 😫 I always thought there’d be a time in my life when I’d be able to see him at least once but, that sadly never came to pass.
I remember getting _Reality_ and loving this song, but doubted he'd be able to pull it off on stage as well as he did in the studio. I always love it when he proves me wrong.
I met Bowie in 2000 & he was as cool as everyone thinks Seeing Bowie live raised the bar so high The last time I saw him was this tour I was second row center and Bowie looked amazing & the show was incredibly good & it was the loudest audience I ever heard lol.
watching mr Bowie being interviewed, performing, listening to Mr Bowie is like coming home, i love every thing about him, his humour, his humility, his kindness, his style, his smile. only one thing, i still cannot bring myself to listen to or watch his last works Blackstar. too hard. too accepting of the truth of his being gone.
Would have been nice if 'DavidBowieVEVO' could have provided info about this video, date of recording, etc. It's a cover of Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. From Wikipedia: "Pablo Picasso" is a song written by Jonathan Richman[1] for the proto punk group The Modern Lovers. The song was recorded in 1972 at Whitney Studios in Los Angeles, and produced by John Cale, but was not released until 1976, on the Modern Lovers' self-titled debut album. The recording featured Richman (lead guitar, vocals), Ernie Brooks (second guitar), Jerry Harrison (bass) and David Robinson (drums), with Cale playing the repetitive hammered piano part.[2] The central character of the song is the charismatic 20th century artist Pablo Picasso, suggesting that, unlike most men and despite Picasso's rather diminutive stature, women never rejected his romantic advances.[3] In a 1980 interview, Richman stated that the song was inspired by his own adolescent "self-consciousness" with women. Further down in Wikipedia page: 2003 David Bowie, on his album Reality; a live version recorded at Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, London on 8 September 2003 was released on the 'Tour Edition' of Reality.
I heard this song off a cassette I found in a bankrupt restaurant in July in the late eighties. It was closed in December and the "Repo Man" soundtrack is what we found in the restaurant's music system. We listened to the this song in the summer heat. Mice jumped from a brown Christmas tree to a bread locker - green with velvety mold. It was rancid, hot, and the music matched so well. I really liked it.
The More You Drive, The Stupider You Get. Night, Day, It don't Mean Shit. I Cant Believe I used To Like These Guys. favorite lines from RepoMan We used to says these to each other all the time. TV PARTY TONIGHT!
God bless this amazing man! He has inspired many, saved many, and wrote music for many! He will live on forever in our hearts and his music! We love you Bowie!!!!!
There's a star man waiting in the sky. He's told told blow it cause he knows worth while he told me, let the children use it, let the children use it, let all the children boogie
I have to stop listening on UA-cam - I'm not getting anything done! Every time I go to put him on to listen to, I wind up watching every video. He's so gorgeous here! Still crying. :(
Its so surreal and so beautiful to see him perform this. And its so strange to think his soul is no longer on Earth. Its up in those stars above us. He's a black star now. He isn't dead forever. His music, his performances, everything he changed and cherished is still very much here. He is very much still alive with us all. And I am so grateful to have been alive when he was. Love you Bowie. ❤
Bowie always had exquisite taste in his choice of covers. He always brought something new to these great songs and made them his own. Of the many i could mention i thought his choice of Simon and Garfunkel's "America" was perfect for the 911 charity gig he joined. He brought a poignancy to the lyrics which chimed with the tragic events for which the concert was raising funds.
i realy hope you guys post more stuff like this!! i've been a Bowie fan since i was 12, and i always found it dificult to find live stuff with good quality that i hadn't seen yet. thanks for this video!!! RIP, pretty thing
He knocked me out the very first time I heard 'wham bam thank you mam' on his Ziggy era. His music is a soundtrack of my life,. I am exactly his age and felt him by my side. He gave everything he had, always. Thanks for the upload.
David Bowie lifted off from 1967 to 1969 to soar through space in seventies. Since then he has created some of the best music on the planet. Unique, a Genius, Innovator , Creator. Pablo Picasso song is a phenomenal tribute and most are familiar with his great Art work.Bowie was the most inspiring artist. I have commenced to learn his songs.
@@chloebergeron5430It’s a well covered song. Yes, I know it was written by Jonathan Richman (who also wrote Roadrunner). But there are certain covers where the covering artist really puts his imprint on a song. You might say they steal it. You might say they transform it. I don’t know. Hendrix covered All Along the Watchtower. Cash covered Hurt Kurt did The Man Who Sold the World Bowie took a stripped down, funny song by JR&tML and made it something else.
I was an IV opiate addict when this came out. I can still remember after decades pushing into a vein a vial of Numorphan as David hit it. It was a potent mix, this song and a powerful narcotic. Miss you David.
Sterling Campbell,the drummer,has put me on the guest list to see him with the B-52’s twice here in Michigan..Nice guy!.Thanks!
"This is my band. I'm in front of it. That makes me David Bowie." Love that!!!!
Haha ha ❤️
Philosophical
Красиво, стильно!
So all I gotta do is assemble this band & stand in front of it, gotcha
he's david bowie, and if you were him, you would be, too
One thing you can't deny - Bowie always had great hair.
that was the first thing that went through my mind when I saw this video
True
If that's a reference to his quib about "wanting to be remembered as someone who always had good haircuts", then hat's off to you, haha
More than that he had great talent.
Oh absolutely!
Bowie never fucked around when choosing band members. They're absolutely stunningly good.
Gayle Ann Dorsey always on his left
He had RAREIFIED taste in musicians.
Bowie is and was and will always be an ENO product.
Albums without him suck.
artisticly they dont have the "touch" of that extraterestial sound and lyrics
Mm almost Lows definition.. 😊
A hero. Not just for one day. For forever.
-A,x
that was very touching and true
+Mandeville Sisters; Yes well said, agree 100%. And this is a pretty good version of this song too.
yes
tears fallen.Again.
+Mandeville Sisters that's the most truthful thing i've ever heard in my life
Fitting. Bowie was the Picasso of the music world.
Not quite, that title has to go to John Cale. He has been even more versatile and influential than Bowie!
Picasso is overrated, Bowie is a genius
True that. They both lifted a lot from their influences and also added influences to remain relevant. But, they both had the eye to identify the potential in something and the ability to transcend it into something more.
Indeed, but I think this is a cover of a song by the Modern Lovers!
Well this song isn't very kind towards Picasso. He did things most of us would be called an asshole if we were to do... in New York!
Okay, everyone loves David of course, but I'm just going to add some appreciation for Gail Ann Dorsey and her badass skirt and boots.
Their duet on Under Pressure... say no more.
@@nickburmanmusic If I may... Absolute Beginners
@@ThinWhiteAxe Oh yes! She’s a force of nature.
@@nickburmanmusic to experience that live was absolutely hair raising stuff, playing bass and singing can be a challenge but to do what she did while gluing everyone together cosmic!!
@@francesinnes2145 Totally agree. I saw that live twice too. Unreal!
God bless Jonathan Richman for creating this song, if for no other reason than the pure joy of seeing Bowie perform it here.
I thought this was a John Cale song all these years...
I know right? I had never heard Bowie’s cover! WOW!
A whole Song based on the idea of rhymin' Picasso and Asshole. What a genius!!!!!
my heart skipped a beat when I got the notification
me too
+Mallu Novais And me
same
omg i'm not the only one! :D
+Mallu Novais Sounds like we all did :O.
How he heard this in his head after hearing the original has me stumped....
Wow, exactly. Didn't even know Bowie did this cover until today
I like that he didn’t cover it as it was , he put his own take on it . I don’t think you can ruin this song , everyone’s version of it is great .
Agree, Cale's version is solid too, in 2010 he played it live in Melbourne under the stars in 7 songs to leave behind.
I just discovered in '23 that the Talking Heads covered it in 1976...not great but they were a very young band.....
@@Sprocket100 Wow and I just discovered right now that this song is not a Bowie's original. It's the best one from his Reality album to me.
Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads played on Jonathan Richman's original version in 1972.@@Sprocket100
He had the kind of face where he looked good in any hair style. :)
He had the kind of face that looked good in any hair style, and the kind of body that looked good in any fashion, and just generally looked good in everything...
Yeah, and he played good music too. 😳
Magician Gerry Leonard on Guitar & Gail Ann Dorsey next to David~My Fav all time David Band!
He always chose the best. Earl Slick, Mike Garson, Catherine Russell. Who else could pull in that quality of musicianship?
Transcends time and space . . . happy 76th David!!!
i love you and you music. god bless you. R.I.P. goblin king
Gerry Leonard is killing it on this!
Gerry Leonard always kills it!
That band is so solid.
Man always had the best musicians.
He's the Pablo Picasso of music. I still can't move on tho. :(
He was so great on all levels.

I recently discovered and explored a Villa Bowie rented in Bali in the late 80s early 90s. I could still feel his aura!!
His hair was always so fabulous :)
Mmmmmmm cant agree with always, but he had some good hair stiles
And always his own.
Never clicked on anything so fast
me too!!
me too
same 😂
yep me too hon xxx
Me too
Miss him so much. Having such a hard time getting over this
It's 2024 now, and I'm still feeling like this. ❤️
@@PeppermintPattiescame to say the same. Turns our time isn't a great healer and it doesn't get any easier
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video now. After 40 years of being a fan, to me this is perfect Bowie. I'm always glued to the screen, can't look away.
Yep, 100%. It's mesmerising, he's mesmerising.
As is Guitaist Magician Gerry Leonard who also plays with Suzanne Vega. David intoduces Gerry at the end of this. Best, dtf
This is the absolute greatest cover ever,ever. Saw only one Bowie concert in the U.S, unforgettable.
Damn, he really nailed this performance. If this version were in the normal album, it wouldn't even stand out quality-wise.
Bello geniale sexy simpatico gentleman...trovatemi un difetto in quest uomo...forse troppo bravo? Love Bowie
love his style during the reality tour..fit him perfectly :)
Just to see him play guitar awesome.
even 3 years later in 2019 I'm still in mourning for the loss of this amazing soul...love you Starman
Nechole Cordova
So are we all. There will never be another to fill his platform shoes...
Death of a loved one is something one never gets over; you have to learn to adjust, hold that love in your heart n get on with life as best you can.
Miss you Starman❤️
I watched that concert live (via-satellite) in a movie theater. It was awesome.
Watched the same transmission in cinema in Poland :-)
This gotta be best modern lovers cover ever.
Nicely done by Bowie, but an original from The Modern Lovers. Check out their version too. it's more stripped down. very clever. I love both.
It's not the "original" the sound is completely different it just has the same lyrics :)
You can't really even hear the lyrics..
Sophie It's still not his song douchebag...... so Yeah, that is the original
Laurie Hasler God bless Jonathan Richman!!!!!! And you for being wiser than the rest of these sheep! 😆
Loved Jonathan Richmond and now two covers of it. John Cale's and Bowie's!
David Bowie was never called a asshole,hes a genius.
*R.I.P.* Very nice of them to upload still.
I wish A Reality Tour had been done more like this. All the fancy camera angles and effects got a little much. Here you aren't distracted from the magic of pure Bowie.
I nearly cried when I got the notification..
I think we all did :/
I nearly crashed
+zxychesatz349 For me either, I cried almost that entire day... and many days since. :(
He puts smile on my face everytime I see him!
Rock of the eternity

The Modern Lovers original version is much better.
@@cactaceous No it isn't. Adding a chorus was a game changer and the band really rip it on this live version.
@@cactaceous in your opinion perhaps, but everyone else knows that you're wrong.
I met Bowie in 2000 & he was as cool as everyone thinks Seeing Bowie live raised the bar so high The last time I saw him was this tour I was second row center and Bowie looked amazing & the show was incredibly good & it was the loudest audience I ever heard lol.
What sick fools are hitting dislike on this, for Gods sake have some respect for this man
+leokimvideo Stupid fucks are stupid.
people has opinions you know
17 people have no respects for David Bowie...
+the YOLO guy people can also show some respect and just leave him be at peace.
But people can dislike the music doesn't mean they are disrespecting bowie right?
I keep thinking I hear a horn (sax?) but I don't see one. What am I hearing?
Squealing guitar sample played by Gerry Leonard?
I saw them perform this at Philly's The Electric Factory. It was so great to get up close and just dance all night.

No... It's time to blow heaven's mind..
You never know what will happen-
Wait and see.
Is it sad that my heart still aches since we lost him..its like part of everything is missing. Love watching him live..miss him still

This song has the most genious intro. It`s magic!
He was all in monotone like the The Modern Lovers version on the album but he was so animated here
Woow ❤ Fantastic song.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible live ! Rare are musicians souding that good live !
Early 2000s? Anybody knows?
Impeccable solid rock live performances of a very avant garde song, talk of the Pablo devil
David BOWIE ROCKS FOREVER.
It feels weird having a new video after Bowie left us, it almost feels like his ghost
For a split second I freaked out. Then the sad reality hit that even in his earthly form DB would NOT be sending me a message.
Miss him so much. Never will be emulated. So happy his music lives forever.
David Bowie notification, how is this possible ? o wait,
such an artist with great visions
+Goran TheBoss hes back duhh
I wish
Bowie finally gave this song the "edge" it needed. BRAVO!
i can't be the only one who clicked Like before I even listen to it ...
What a band!!
What a LEGEND
I have to stop listening on UA-cam - I'm not getting anything done! Every time I go to put him on to listen to, I wind up watching every video. He's so gorgeous here! Still crying. :(
Great band. Fantastic guitar effects.
I wish I was that sweet bass player, playing with Bowie forever !
grandioso, simplemente un genio !! siempre adelantado a su época!
See the way Bowie's hair moves 'cause of the air?
That's the amazing thing, there was no wind, Bowie's hair does thar by itself.
such a passionate performer...
Its so surreal and so beautiful to see him perform this. And its so strange to think his soul is no longer on Earth. Its up in those stars above us. He's a black star now. He isn't dead forever. His music, his performances, everything he changed and cherished is still very much here. He is very much still alive with us all. And I am so grateful to have been alive when he was.

God he is simply fabulous
What a beautiful man
Had no idea he covered this one. Thanks for posting this!

Absolutely fantastic.
Welcome to Reality
This is a cover… it’s not his song
@@chloebergeron5430It’s a well covered song. Yes, I know it was written by Jonathan Richman (who also wrote Roadrunner).
But there are certain covers where the covering artist really puts his imprint on a song. You might say they steal it. You might say they transform it. I don’t know.
Hendrix covered All Along the Watchtower.
Cash covered Hurt
Kurt did The Man Who Sold the World
Bowie took a stripped down, funny song by JR&tML and made it something else.
I was an IV opiate addict when this came out. I can still remember after decades pushing into a vein a vial of Numorphan as David hit it. It was a potent mix, this song and a powerful narcotic. Miss you David.
