Goes to my theory of the fact that the 70's had the best music. Please compare with the sh't we have today, sampling, voice overs. I'm sick of it, what about real musicians playing real music. It's cause the masses are taking it, with a smile on their faces. Love this music and what it stands for, thanks for posting. One of my favourite songs, sounds as good as the firest day I heard it.
Most unselfish performer. Always plays long sets and loves his audience comes alive like no other. A show man form opening to close. Best concert I ever witnessed. He brings it all to the table...You can tell he loves his fans,, We love him. His Earnest qualities keep him approachable. I collect on vinyl any compositins that have ever been arranged by the maestro. god speed DB
Every time I hear this song all I can picture in my head is John Lennon poking his head in at various points durring recording and saying the high "Fame" vocals, and then going back out until the next "Fame" vocal part!!!!
This was part of a bonus CD with the "Bowie @ the Beeb" box set ... would have paid well above normal price for it, it is so class! Some great rearrangements of songs not normally associated with DB's live set!
It's like he used music for a paintbrush and clay... Everything he put out there was a work of art. Truly a gifted soul. I'm very sad to see this icon go. I have a feeling he had a lot more master pieces to blow our minds with if he had the chance. RIP Mr. Bowie and know wherever you are, you are sadly missed.
I remember this song as a kid being played by our next door neighbor, speaker rocking the walls sounding so damn good, not knowing it was a good looking white guy. I miss music being music having no color. Just jamming.
His hair's prettier than mine. Is that bad? Ha. Urrrgh, that man is so gorgeous. And the voice! I love the voice! ^_^ I agree with you, BowieLover2, that expression was awesome. Haha!
@3:36,love that come on little suckers,omg can't get enough of David Bowie,he is so handsome and sweet and funny,all of what i love in a man.big fan in Canada,deathnotes mom,Barabara:)
An awesome vital artist with unrivaled staying power (only Neil Young and Bob Dylan come to mind as being in his league in this regard). Look at the joy he still possesses while performing...
He's got such a marvellous live band! THe original was perfect, yet this one is no less enchanting. Yes I agree with the metal association. I think this gotta to with the bassline.
holey crap how have i not heard of him before?! sometimes i swear i was born in the wrong generation. I have to grow up with all of this pop shit! why couldn't i have grew up with this?!
@GeminiSpaceship "This song was written by David Bowie and John Lennon." Actually it was written by Bowie, Lennon and the fabulous Carlos Alomar. Listening to other songs from the same album, Young Americans, you can hear Alomars stamp all over "Fame". The funky R & B/ Soul flavored chordal work is vintage Alomar, and I would wager it was more his song than Lennons, whom I am a huge fan of also.

Masterpiece !!
his interaction with ms. dorsey at the end was funny. i like when you see that musicians really work well together. its reassuring in a weird way.
That is just so damn funky......

Is that Meshell Ndegeocello on Bass? David Bowie is the MAN! Kudos to the person who posted this video! Thank you.
Crikey, what a BRILLIANT version of this tune!

Grande maestro de maestros
Woh das is ein hammer song
i love his hair!
D.B. IS AWESOME
I've always underestimated his vocal talent - looking back I only now appreciate his voice.
**sigh** I think I love him
An american song.......understatement!
This was so cool!
love it!
I want to hear or see the "Fame" version Bowie did on the Howard Stern show. That was a total funky jam.
His band is amazing in this performance !! So fucking tight...
Groovy!!!!!!
Genius that Geezer
An awesome vital artist with unrivaled staying power (only Neil Young and Bob Dylan come to mind as being in his league in this regard). Look at the joy he still possesses while performing...
loving the funk
One bad ass song
The guy never seems to age.
this version is better than the original recording in my opinion. That funky bass guitar is indredible!
Great video, I'm love Bowies music also see your a fellow U2 fan! Thanks for the post!
Thank you! :)
Im in loveeee ♥_♥
He's got such a marvellous live band!
THe original was perfect, yet this one is no less enchanting.
Yes I agree with the metal association. I think this gotta to with the bassline.
ジョン・レノンとボウイの共作なんて、何と贅沢な！
Honestly,today I've discovered him ..and he sings wonderful .... he looks nice ....Why isn't he promoted as some less talented singers ?
king
I love his hair. =]
his hair reminds me to the hunky dory album. he got the long haor when his son born.its unique
Yessssssssssssssssss !!!
holey crap how have i not heard of him before?! sometimes i swear i was born in the wrong generation. I have to grow up with all of this pop shit! why couldn't i have grew up with this?!
wow i love the drums on this version...
i heard an amazing live performance of ashes to ashes on jools holland maybe its on here
He like mad the song give a metal feeling
i bet every before the show got high and then this song came on and got even higher than a cyt
Grandiosa
YES

The funky R & B/ Soul flavored chordal work is vintage Alomar, and I would wager it was more his song than Lennons, whom I am a huge fan of also.
there's just something entrancing about this video.
Correct! Thanks for pointing out!
the space BETWEEN the notes is VERY important...sometimes it takes time to learn that...
@HippieJimi best quote ever!!!
Fame!
