That's wonderful Linda. What was he singing at the time? Just to let you know - this happens to be a song the drummer here always gives a mention as his personal fave (share something back).
This was so far ahead of anything else you could expect to see at a rock concert in 1973 (and beyond). Staging, theatricality, delivery, musicality - you name it. Next level stuff.
Wild Eyed in my opinion is Bowie's greatest story-telling and composition effort. I was, and still am, a huge fan. He's done a lot of terrific stuff, especially early on, and I was part of it after '72 or so as a teen. I wore the records to no grooves left. Some of his songs are like the bible to me. This live performance has the studio song perfect.
Bowie saved my life, as far as me having no parents at 15. He was my daddy, my ideal man, my savior, my identity, and my life. I have every album and have lately started listening to him more. I think, how did I ever take little breaks. Life gets crazy. Oh you pretty things isn't mentioned in title of video? why? I LOVE THAT SONG. Freecloud...delicious i am gonna attack my husband!!
My sentiments exactly he taught me so much expanded my mind in every positive way possible. Still miss. I go through Bowie binges like today where I listen to 24hr Bowie.
I'm sure many would disagree with me, but I actually like this medley better than the individual songs. I love how it starts off slow and then BAM! All the Young dudes.
I LOVE this medley. I don't love the first song but BAM! All the Young Dudes and I love the segue into Oh You Pretty Things. What a treat to see him at this age.
If there hadn't been David Bowie, there would have never been New Wave and everything original after. Christ, most people don't know how many popular songs are covers of songs that are DECADES old.
@@pleaserunmeoverwithasubaru6761 ...the real kicker is ...when you're geeking out ...to a song that 'compels one to do so ...and the youngsters😁 see you ...they act as if you are trespassing ...on THeiR music ! ! ! Oh ! ...so sorry ...i do not have a subaru 😁😀😁
This slow but determined transition from the filosofical melancholy of Freecloud bursting into the lust for live of All The Young Dudes... fantastic! It gives me chills all over.
We can thank Mick Ronson for the way this all went together. Together, these two made some of the best live and recorded music of all time. IMO of course.
From day one this man was special …… he just new it before anyone else did. His talent was and remains above anyone else alive or dead. The voice , the songs, the image , the influence, the innovation …… so glad I was born at the right time and was around to enjoy it all as the wonderful ride it was from 1972 up to 2016 .
A lot of fans don't even know these songs. I can't imagine that, but some new fans don't go this deep or far back. This is his best stuff. They just named a street after him in Paris.
Yes I didn't really become a Bowie fan until I listened to Hunky Dory in the early 90s. Had listened to Bowie for 15 years prior but only greatest hits albums and top 40 radio.
He is still one of the sexiest men that ever walked on this planet. With each song his voice changed as well he truly is a chameleon in every sense of the word
Bowie has become very popular with teens over the few years; younger generations see him as an icon, different, sort of like a whole new 'style' for teens.
"You'll lose me, thoough I'm always really free."He is and will always be the best in my opinion. I have been playing this amazing video over and over.
+Mikey Tehrani that last part where he and geoff macormack sings "free" fucking kills me as it is definitely the best version of "the wild-eyed boy from freecloud" as it still puts me in tears.
I had a dream about him last night, once again I woke up to feel different. He’s been in my dreams three times now, and every time he has, he’s always amazed me. The first one I had, he was still in this era, the red hair, interesting clothes, looks from people who weren’t different. He walked down the staircase to where I was sitting, and he just wrapped his arms around me and laid his head down on my lap, I put my hand on his head and kissed him there, then I woke up. That dream still makes me sad. The second dream was very different. He was in the 80’s era, his hair blonde and his clothes were very “normal” since people always look at things that way. He was in a room, and were enough he was stirring something in this huge pot. I walked in and looked around, while he kept working. We only looked at another once, and that was a beautiful moment for me. The third one I had just this past night. I was standing right it front of him, he looked just like he did in the last, blonde hair, that clothing, but this time he was fully aware I was there, and I hugged him so long it felt unreal, and he hugged back. I said something along the line of, “oh my god your here!” And he just smiled and shook his head, saying something which I sadly can’t remember. I almost cried after all of these dreams, for dreaming doesn’t come enough for me, mostly nightmares when they do, and this was such a beautiful turn. I hope to see David again, I miss him, it feels so real in my dreams.
It is really quite amazing that every bloke I know born between 1958 and 1962 absolutely adores David Bowie, were our lives so bland that we all needed his genius when we were growing up ? the biggest music star of a generation, David Bowie what a talent
I was there that night, fantastic but sad as Ziggy finished that night, looked for myself in the film, no luck although I was at the very front with my 6 foot blonde boyfriend, a brilliant night.Saw Bowie twice more but that night was something to remember although the sound was off due to Earl's court being awkward.
Youre lucky, they say they tried to make that film into a live movie but the condition was of low quality and the band didn't play well cause they were all ripped. For some reason, all the young dudes is my fav bowie song that's why I drop in to listen to it occasionally.
@@jethrox827 "All the young dudes" isn't a Bowie song 🙄 Is originally by Mott the Hoople and Mr. Bowie helped in the composition and lyrics, but don't get confused man.
I was there a few days before you as I saw him in Leeds. This was amazing due to Mike Garsons piano and Ronsons stealth riffs. I was even lucky enough to own the original Space Oddity single on the Phillips label which had Freecloud as the B side track, a real collectors item which was stolen. Anyway like you a massive fan and saw him a few times but grew up with him from the early 70s right up to the end in 2016. I miss him
@@aranzacarpio7636 You are so wrong, at first he tried to give them Suffragette city but Ian Hunter didn`t think he could sing it so they said yes to All the young dudes.
Which changed in just 2 or three years. His Station to Station voice is totally different. How much of that was intentional and how much was coke, I dont know?
Yes, it’s interesting how much his voice changed in just a few years. Combination of all things I suppose...aging, training, cigarettes and coke. He sure is mesmerizing to watch and listen to here.
@@lyndafisher1598 It's never really talked about strangely. It's like two different singers. But thank goodness he didn't lose it like some do. He gained a richness and baritone
See? Those are your tears, man. He killed off Ziggy but then came back as Aladdin based off an influence from America. Aladdin Sane was a lot like Ziggy, but he was a lot darker and grittier because he was “americanized.”
This last leg of the Ziggy tours truly showcased Bowie's odd & perfect blend of singer/songwriter & theater, merged into what will become the bigger arena of rock music, summed up in one word, Bowie!
I saw an interviue with David Bowie many years ago something he said... '' I try to learn something new every day''.. That stuck with me all these years .I'm 65 years old and not a day has gone by I've not thought of him saying that .I want to thank you David,where ever you are, for that inspiration. A gift from a man I consider a friend I never met ..
I took direct influence (& bits of footage too) from this Ziggy Stardust live version for my own release of All The Young Dudes/The Man Who Sold The World. David Bowie Rocks!
I was there.So lucky to see all the Bowie concerts, right up to the last. Always got goosebumps and cried. From the age of 15 to 52. He spanned all ages. I miss him so much.
Solemn faced The village settles down Undetected by the stars And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep And the last thing on his mind Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned 'Neath the covered wooden shaft Folds the rope Into its bag Blows his pipe of smolders Blankets smoke into the room And the day will end for some As the night begins for one Staring through the message in his eyes Lies a solitary son From the mountain called Freecloud Where the eagle dare not fly And the patience in his sigh Gives no indication For the townsmen to decide So the village Dreadful yawns Pronouncing gross diversion As the label for the dog Oh "It's the madness in his eyes" As he breaks the night to cry: "It's really me Really you And really me It's so hard for us to really be Really you And really me You'll lose me though I'm always Really free" And the mountain moved its eyes To the world of realize Where the snow had saved a place For the wild eyed boy From Freecloud And the village Dreadful cried As the rope began to rise For the smile stayed on the face Of the wild eyed boy From Freecloud And the women once proud Clutched the heart of the crowd As the boulders smashed down from the mountain's hand And the magic in the stare Of the wild eyed boy said "Stop, Freecloud They won't think to cut me down" But the cottages fell Like a playing card hell And the tears on the face Of the wise boy Came tumbling down To the rumbling ground And the missionary mystic of peace/love Stumbled to cry among the clouds Kicking back the pebbles From the Freecloud mountain
The Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud is the standout track from the Space Odditty album. It twists and turns until it's strange resolution. Brilliant early Bowie, the track was a launch pad for the theatrical Bowie that followed the glam material.
Bowie carries such a heavy buzz for me. I'm not sure what it is. But I think somehow he(we) realized these worlds so vividly that we can step right out of time, and into them, anytime we choose. Thank you David. And thank you for all that joined with him in such fine imagination (and still do)
When he went into this medley during Moonage Daydream, i nearly lost it. Started to imagine what it would have been like to see him before he blew up. They would've had to carry me out of the arena.
Always listening... Great artist, one of the best...Love Love Love this version... Oh didn't we drive our mumas n papas in sane... Great memories.. Some of the best
I repeat this vids many times. Amazing medley. Awesome performance. And transition from The wild eyed boy from freecloud to All the young dudes is PERFECT !!
this is one of my favourite parts of any concert he has done and what do u know! its the first concert u see in the new movie "moonage daydream" wow hearing this in theater was even more amazing, i really recommend the movie
Love how Bowie is just fixed on been Ziggy, i never stopped loving Bowie unit the end of the news that destroyed are souls, but the spirit he had has lifted me and after going deeper into his Library has lifted me more and more, there wile never EVER be another. LOVE YOU DAVID JONES! x
Aye mi amor, eres tan hermosa como estas canciones, cada que las escucho te veo en mi mente y te imagino sonriendo, eres tan especial para mí que quiero que todo mundo sepa lo que siento cuando te pienso y bowie me llena la cabeza de recuerdos tuyos, te amo.
Bowie that’s him 9 days and five years and he gave me/us two great albums. This chap reaches me and I absolutely adore it his songs and music he is above some but to me he is eternal and I’m 61
His voice seems blown out from the non-stop touring he was doing at the time, and Bowie still delivers on the performance. He was a master level entertainer.

I should'nt have washed my face since that moment...

David Bowie was a gift to humanity.
He could be an alien from outer space.
Surely.
From the universe
IS a gift to humanity. 🤍 always will be.
that keeps on giving . I listen all the time to live by request . perfecto !
That transition to all the young dudes will stay in my memory for the rest of my life
Fully agree !!! How an icónic and lengendary concert !!!!❤
The key change!! I get choked up it's so good.
This!! Blows me away. Absolute chills!
Came here right after watching Moonage Daydream
SAME amazing movie experience
Man, I cryed so much in that part
can we all agree this was best human ever?
+Gene Clark probably.
Gene Clark him and Mick!
Wait, he was a human?!
NO, HE IS AN ANGEL...BUT STILL. hE CHOSE TOLIVE AS A HUMAN FOR A WHILE, AND GRACE US WITH SOME GOD LIKE MUSIC.
bro he came from mars! he's much more than a human.
This was so far ahead of anything else you could expect to see at a rock concert in 1973 (and beyond). Staging, theatricality, delivery, musicality - you name it. Next level stuff.
Tears on my old face when i hear this 💗💗 i am 65 years
That little smile he gives at the beginning is so genuine as the audience recognized the song. He loved this song.
Wild Eyed in my opinion is Bowie's greatest story-telling and composition effort. I was, and still am, a huge fan. He's done a lot of terrific stuff, especially early on, and I was part of it after '72 or so as a teen. I wore the records to no grooves left. Some of his songs are like the bible to me. This live performance has the studio song perfect.
I love Wild Eyed too. It’s like a mini opera.
Agree and Memory of a free festival.
I think its Cygnet Committee personally
Brilliantly said 👏
@@BobbyGeneric145it's a one two with that one for me. I could switch. Cygnet even has more content.
The thing about this young Bowie is that he had a perfectly formed voice for theatre and cabaret so early in his career?? amazing
Only 26.
And even earlier than this.
Well that's what he started doing, Mimework, theater, Kabuki, etc
This track is an example of the genius of Bowie's work. He was a sublime poet and artists
And Mick Ronson's arrangement skills
Bowie saved my life, as far as me having no parents at 15. He was my daddy, my ideal man, my savior, my identity, and my life. I have every album and have lately started listening to him more. I think, how did I ever take little breaks. Life gets crazy. Oh you pretty things isn't mentioned in title of

I LOVE this medley. I don't love the first song but BAM! All the Young Dudes and I love the segue into Oh You Pretty Things.
What a treat to see him at this age.
every note is amazing...but yes, I get your meaning, as with all his stuff, so many damn layers....he was a warrior poet, and a God.
no I agree with you. "Live at the philledelpia tower" that medeley was amazing, included this.
Satchel frost, agree, its a wonderful medley.
satchel frost I thought the same
This is one of the best peices of live music footage ever recorded
that melody..the transition when it goes into :all the young dudes: is music straight from GOD
The way he tails off the word 'free' when going into All the Young Dudes, my heart just melts!
I know it amazing
Bloody hell he was gorgeous.
Marvel Mundane So one needs to be emaciated high on coke to be gorgeous?... ok don't answer.
+Hefipale Burp I think he meant that David Bowie was gorgeous. "Emaciated, high on coke" doesn't enter into it. He was just gorgeous.

The most beautiful storyteller, the cheekiest imp, the biggest fib teller. The most loved man in the world, forever missed xx
the segue from wild eyed boy to all the young dudes is such an amazing change....
I didn't realize how much love and wish to bring relief David Bowie had for those who struggled emotionally. His memory will always be a blessing.

I always get shivers from the last "Really freeeeee". Every time.

Outstanding performance from a legendary rock god. R.I.P. David Bowie. Ziggy Stardust lives forever.
I don't care who you are, Bowie makes you fall in love with at least one of his eras
He is just so fucking amazing, so much better than today's music :D
you dare to call nowday´s thing "music" ?
❤
This always makes me cry
But how awesome is that change over from "Wild Eyed Boy from Free Cloud" to "All The Young Dudes?"

Oh my god I completely agree with you, I found David Bowie like 1 year ago and I have gone mad in his music, I have to listen to him every day :)
Thank you so much Bowie for helping me through my lonely nights and my thoughts about suicide
Now that both Bowie and Ronno are gone, I appreciate more and more that this glorious performance was captured on film.

He is the only man I will ever truly love, (61 now)
the best concert of David Bowie
I saw him 11 times and I preferred The Reality Tour.

He was one of the better artist of all The time
More upset and shocked by his death than any other. There will never be anyone else like Bowie. Love you David.
🧡💛💙💚❤💜💗
This is so much better live. Really wish I was there in the 70s. Im just grateful they filmed this tour.

'' I try to learn something new every day''.. That stuck with me all
these years .I'm 65 years old and not a day has gone by I've not thought
of him saying that .I want to thank you David,where ever you are, for

All the Young Dudes is such a cool song.
I took direct influence (& bits of footage too) from this Ziggy Stardust live version for my own release of All The Young Dudes/The Man Who Sold The World. David Bowie Rocks!
Thankyou David for all you writ..
and songs and stories💛🎆
I was there.So lucky to see all the Bowie concerts, right up to the last. Always got goosebumps and cried. From the age of 15 to 52. He spanned all ages. I miss him so much.
David Bowie ✨
Bowie made childhood amazing, love him so.
The Wildeyed boy from Freecloud in my opinion is the most Bowie song, David Bowie ever wrote.
makes me cry each time
This music was, is, and always will be relevant.
👨🎤
The best. The man's gone back to the stars, but his spirit and music will be with us forever.
PURE GENIUS
No one can never get close to the talent this wonderful soul has, will miss him always
I was there. He touched my face. Now 62 and love him as much as when I was a teenager. Linda Mears: I agree!!!!!
Solemn faced
The village settles down
Undetected by the stars
And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep
And the last thing on his mind
Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned
'Neath the covered wooden shaft
Folds the rope
Into its bag
Blows his pipe of smolders
Blankets smoke into the room
And the day will end for some
As the night begins for one
Staring through the message in his eyes
Lies a solitary son
From the mountain called Freecloud
Where the eagle dare not fly
And the patience in his sigh
Gives no indication
For the townsmen to decide
So the village Dreadful yawns
Pronouncing gross diversion
As the label for the dog
Oh "It's the madness in his eyes"
As he breaks the night to cry:
"It's really me
Really you
And really me
It's so hard for us to really be
Really you
And really me
You'll lose me though I'm always
Really free"
And the mountain moved its eyes
To the world of realize
Where the snow had saved a place
For the wild eyed boy
From Freecloud
And the village Dreadful cried
As the rope began to rise
For the smile stayed on the face
Of the wild eyed boy
From Freecloud
And the women once proud
Clutched the heart of the crowd
As the boulders smashed down from the mountain's hand
And the magic in the stare
Of the wild eyed boy said
"Stop, Freecloud
They won't think to cut me down"
But the cottages fell
Like a playing card hell
And the tears on the face
Of the wise boy
Came tumbling down
To the rumbling ground
And the missionary mystic of peace/love
Stumbled to cry among the clouds
Kicking back the pebbles
From the Freecloud mountain
The Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud is the standout track from the Space Odditty album. It twists and turns until it's strange resolution. Brilliant early Bowie, the track was a launch pad for the theatrical Bowie that followed the glam material.
When it goes from Freecloud to ATYDs, it's so beautiful that my goosebumps lead to tears of joy.... Bowie was one of a kind ❤

Brilliant song, fabulous transition! Rest in Space David Bowie ❤️
I seen him at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo in 1977 amazing i will remember it forever.

Amazing medley. Awesome performance. And transition from The wild eyed boy from freecloud to All the young dudes is PERFECT !!
Only David could wear this and look this beautiful
All the young dudes me hace llorar. Gracias David ♥
this is one of my favourite parts of any concert he has done and what do u know! its the first concert u see in the new movie "moonage daydream" wow hearing this in theater was even more amazing, i really recommend the movie
The Medley. If he had done only this, to me he would be the greatest already. RIP Love. X
Best medley ever.
Elena Woontner Fabulous! ❤️👏👏👏
The band are great too , really tight .
Best Bowie show Ever❤
saw him at Chatham 1973 ,66 years old now still love him
The best part here is me a 14 year old can bump into 70 year old people. Music really does unite people does it
My all time favorite performance of his.
Love how Bowie is just fixed on been Ziggy, i never stopped loving Bowie unit the end of the news that destroyed are souls, but the spirit he had has lifted me and after going deeper into his Library has lifted me more and more, there wile never EVER be another. LOVE YOU DAVID JONES! x
Yes he always committed 100% to his characters. You believed.
Best bedtime story ever.....missed with every beat of my 💜
Aye mi amor, eres tan hermosa como estas canciones, cada que las escucho te veo en mi mente y te imagino sonriendo, eres tan especial para mí que quiero que todo mundo sepa lo que siento cuando te pienso y bowie me llena la cabeza de recuerdos tuyos, te amo.
Bowie that’s him 9 days and five years and he gave me/us two great albums. This chap reaches me and I absolutely adore it his songs and music he is above some but to me he is eternal and I’m 61
Always was in a league of his own.
His voice seems blown out from the non-stop touring he was doing at the time, and Bowie still delivers on the performance. He was a master level entertainer.
Never ceases to have the same effect no many how many times I see and hear this!!
Solid gold!
