    Bowie's performance of "'Heroes'" on 6 June 1987, at the German Reichstag in West Berlin has been considered a catalyst to the later fall of the Berlin Wall. Following his death in January 2016, the German government thanked Bowie for "helping to bring down the Wall", adding "you are now among Heroes". You cut off the video at end, but Bowie says "I felt that" and touches his heart.

      @ Michael Hopkins: You sure they did that because of the Performance? I mean Bowie lived in Berlin for a couple of years in the late 70's. (together with Iggy Pop) He came off of drugs there, and he wrote several songs, including Heroes, which is about a couple near the Berlin wall that gets shot at by border guards while kissing.
      I'd think it was because of the song in itself, being written in and about the situation of people in Berlin. Not just because of one single performance of his.

    I saw Bowie 3 times - 1983, 1987 and 2004. Each time - he is a consumate performer, he has a presence, and is a professional in entertaining his audience. Strange to think that the show I saw in 2004 would be my last time. Losing Bowie was a kick to the guts....so many songs - Loving The Alien, Life on Mars, Cat People, China Girl, The Glass Spider (album track from Never Let Me Down), Bring Me The Disco King ( album track, but an awesome live version on his 2004 tour), The Man Who Sold The World, Within You (from Labyrinth) - I could add so many!!

    Bowie’s passing was such an incredible loss to music. A true artist and such a unique voice, always creating, never staying the same. You can see by the way he was holding the crowd in the palm of his hand and making it look easy that he’d been doing it for decades by then.
    If you haven’t already I strongly suggest reacting to Life On Mars. Others may have a different opinion, but for me that was Bowie’s masterpiece.

    My oldest, wisest sister Lisa introduced me to this wonderful man's music/talent: she and I saw him live 3 times: he felt the love of over 60,000 at Commonwealth Stadium Edmonton, Alta August 7, 1983. Everyone sang along!! Sadly she passed away 9 months before he did. I like to think they are both dancing like nobody's watching, together. Thank you for this reaction, great memories. Suggestion: Panic in Detroit or Facination

    He describes a situation of 2 lovers at the Berlin Wall. One coming from the West, the other one from East Germany. They have to separate before night and go back to their side of the wall. In the 70ies Bowie used to live in Berlin, working at Hansa-Studios right next to the wall. And there he also wrote this song. Singing this song in front of a Berlin crowd is giving me chills. Especially living here :) Bowie is very special to us Germans. // JayveeTV, I watch all of your videos. So emotional, entertaining and honest :)

  • @clareparfittwinchester5244
    @clareparfittwinchester5244 3 роки тому

    The song was written at Hansa studios, next to the Berlin Wall, in 1977 or 78. It's partly about the Berlin Wall - the mention of guards - and David Bowie had a special connection with the people of Berlin, having lived there. He performed a concert in West Berlin, before the wall came down, right by the wall and loud enough for people on the East to hear.

    David Bowie just really loved to perform. The song was written kinda about the Berlin Wall and they recorded it near there. I guess that was the inspiration. But I really love the "Wall of Sound" feel to it as well. One of Bowie's best.

    My man, he *always* delivered. When I saw his Sound and Vision tour, he had the flu. He came out and gave a solid performance for the first half; then took a somewhat longer than average intermission (maybe, what, five minutes longer?), and came back out . . . Then he rocked, and rocked, and rock-goded, and then, towards the end of "Young Americans," sat down in a chair for a minute or so, wiping the sweat away and taking several deep drinks of whatever was in that container (while we cheered and shouted, all of us knowing he was sick and appreciative of his "show must go on" attitude, since the word had gone out on all the radio stations that he was sick but still going to perform), then started singing the very next verse and got back up and finished the song, and proceeded to follow *that* with an encore which was the length of which most opening acts' you've ever seen while dancing with his backup singers like he was still some teenager. Can you imagine: sick as a dog, in his 40s, and still came out like the rock and roll superstar he was? I didn't have to; I was there.

    Thank you for playing this live version. Reduced me to tears. Like so many I grew up with Bowie music. He is my all time favourite artist. Never made a selection but if you want to feature something different take a look at The Blue Man Group with Venus Hum singing 'I feel love'. You may have heard the song but not like this. Mad as hell. Thanks again for all the music you feature but of course particularly for the Bowie reactions. Regards from the Wales UK.

Never saw him live but this concert looked like a lot of fun.

    Inspired by the sight of Bowie's producer-engineer Tony Visconti embracing his lover by the Berlin Wall, the song tells the story of two lovers, one from East and one from West Berlin.
    Bowie's performance of "'Heroes'" on 6 June 1987, at the German Reichstag in West Berlin has been considered a catalyst to the later fall of the Berlin Wall.
    Following his death in January 2016, the German government thanked Bowie for "helping to bring down the Wall", adding "you are now among Heroes".
