Just an Incredible performance from the whole band! We all feel that we know the man although most of us have never met him!!! F*ck it still missing him !!!....
Thurs 12 David Bowie on Heroes, “I always said it was a couple of lovers by the Wall that prompted the idea for Heroes,” Bowie told Classic Rock in 2015, explaining its meaning. “Actually, it was [Bowie producer] Tony Visconti and his girlfriend. Tony was married at the time, so I couldn’t talk about it. But I can now say that the lovers were Tony and a German girl [Antonia Maass] that he’d met while we were in Berlin. I think possibly his marriage was in the last few months. And it was very touching because I could see that Tony was very much in love with this girl, and it was that relationship which sort of motivated the song.” “I’ll never forget that,” he recalled. “It was one of the most emotional performances I’ve ever done. I was in tears. They’d backed up the stage to the Wall itself so that it was acting as our backdrop. We kind of heard that a few of the East Berliners might actually get the chance to hear the thing, but we didn’t realise in what numbers they would. "And there were thousands on the other side that had come close to the wall. So it was like a double concert, where the Wall was the division. And we would hear them cheering and singing along from the other side. God, even now I get choked up. It was breaking my heart. I’d never done anything like that in my life. And I guess I never will again. www.loudersound.com/features/the-story-behind-the-song-heroes-by-david-bowie The wall came down just a few months later!!
Sorry to hear of your YT problems - and even more that there are Patreon problems. Keep being you. And know whether via YT or elsewhere you have a lot to offer. Your honesty, your love for people and music, your reflectiveness, is the key. Good luck with everything.
If you're interested in discovering Bowie's soul & funk phase: Try cuts from Bowie's Young Americans album with Luther Vandross back-up singers to die for and David Sanborn on killer alto saxophone, like Somebody Up There Likes Me, Win, Fascination, Right and Can You Hear Me. [Find Luther and David both on Dick Cavett talk-show video clip..also see UA-cam video of Soul Train with Bowie doing Fame and Golden Years singles] ...Also, guitarist Carlos Alomar funk on Secret Life of Arabia (Heroes album). … Sample his Let’s Dance album produced by Chic’s Nile Rogers (all good!). From Station to Station album: Stay. Also Black Tie, White Noise with Al B. Sure. …Tonight with Tina Turner (also with him in one of her concert videos on UA-cam)... Knock on Wood and Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (Ohio Players) (from David Live in Philadelphia (extended version), 1975). “1984” (from Diamond Dogs album. Reminds me of “Shaft.” Later recorded by Tina Turner on her Private Dancer album)...from the soundtrack to the kids’ film, Labyrinth: “Underground” (w/ Black choir) and “Magic Dance.” A friend of the Black community -Bowie complained to MTV about Black videos being relegated to early morning broadcasts. Married to Somali super-model Iman.

Hi Shane love your reactions. Can you reaction to rammstein-du hast live paris. They are a German band. They are super heavy and intense and their performance is really interesting. Tons of piro
Bowie and Gail Anne Dorsey , just fabulous ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
IMHO this is Bowie's best song and, considering how many great songs he has that is something.
Don´t forget Brian Eno...
The crowd deserves a shout out. This had to have been one of the greatest experiences, almost transcendental.
Check out "Wild Is The Wind" from Bowie's STATIONTOSTAION Album - almost operatic
Just an Incredible performance from the whole band!
We all feel that we know the man although most of us have never met him!!!
F*ck it still missing him !!!....
I think I'm still in some denial that he's gone. I cry every time I see this video. Bowie at his finest.
me too!.....
