    When ever I see Bowie’s earlier performances like this one, a smile naturally appears on my face, not only because I like his music so much, but due to the fact that he will go on to create so many more iconic albums and songs from here - along with the fact that David himself in the recording is not yet aware of his future feats. Long live David, and may you rest in peace.

    This was the exact moment as a 13 year old I became a Bowie fan for ever, watching this again 50 years later I can see why. Looking at it now with older more mature eyes I can see this is the moment Bowie knew he had really made it, they look to be genuinely enjoying every second. Loved every second of that

      I think I was 6 years old when I first saw, "Ashes to Ashes," on the Showtime, as filler. Several years before MTV started. I was alone in my living room and I was actually waiting for some kiddie film to start. But, when that video came on...Wow. I was so in awe. For a few moments, I thought I was watching something I shouldn't be. But, I felt the same way the first time I watched Monty Python a year or so earlier. My parents didn't seem to care then. So I watched this video...Then right after that video, Gary Numan's, "Cars," was next. I found myself that day. :)

      @@self-proclaimedanimator In most other human fields I would have scoffed at the notion that everything was better in the past as one of those tropes that are repeated ad nauseam for - literally - millenia. But I agree that current pop and rock music has reached a creative low point. The reason is unfortunately the digitization of music both in creation and reproduction. Simply speaking, you cannot make any money from it anymore and so a lot creative talent simply evaporated. Back in the days, you had to buy a record if you wanted to listen to music. It was a lucrative business to be a creative artist. Today you swap files, download them, go to youtube, etc. The artists are screwed, you cannot make a living from it and the most talented people find different professions. There is hardly any live music that is not performed by established artists. Check out bill-boards for concerts and on offer is mostly a very geriatric bunch of musicians and bands. Making music computer or even AI assisted allows everyone with minimal talent to produce something that is at least decent. In the end it just generates sludge. There has to be a lot of talent out there, there always is, but the conditions to nurture and develop that talent have deteriorated. A real bummer. We are cheated out of great new music.

    Bowie was a natural superstar. It is quite clear when you see this relatively early recording. What a confident and natural performance on stage not yet aware of his future. He blew up into a superstar after this performance, of course because he was truly amazing and special at that time. I'm a little too young to remember this performance, but I followed Bowie from around 1982 until his death. He made a difference in the music scene and I miss him.

    The 1972 performance of "Starman" on "Top of the Pops" is certainly a memorable one, the energy and charisma that Bowie brought to the stage was truly electric, and it's clear that he was enjoying every moment of the performance.

No puedo describir todo lo que sentí cuando tuve el atuendo frente a mis propios ojos en la exhibición Bowie Is en Japón. Estaba viendo todo en orden pero cuando vi el traje de Starman a lo lejos no pude evitar correr directo a verlo. Lo contemplé un buen rato y recordé todas las veces que veía el vídeo y me llenaba de emoción cuando Bowie señalaba a la pantalla. Cada vez que escucho Starman hoy en día, recuerdo ese maravilloso momento.

    This was voted the most iconic moment on top of the pops in the last 50 years. It changed music direction in many ways and was well deserved.

    The start of a musical icon. Broke all barriers here with Mick Ronson. Never will he be forgotten

    The difference between a singer and a legend like Bowie or Hendrix : they are acting during their song, they really live their songs with a kind of natural story telling. They just carry their songs so their songs are telling something true and shot a bullet right to your heart and soul.
