A MODERN AND TIMELESS MASTER

[@paolacelletti2056]

Well, I'm speechless: I've never heard something like this before.
Thanks Mike for existing!

[@todd3205]

Ladies and Gentlemen, though my opinion may not mean much, let me say that i think Aladdin Sane is the ultimate tale in the story of Bowie and Garson. And i don't really mean story in a literary sense, but Mr Jones' ability to take superior musicians to a place where THEY know exactly what to do. Mike Garson takes us from 'a lad' to another lad that might need help.
Thank you, Messrs. Bowie and Garson for a lifetime of wonder.

[@Romans15.32]

Thank you. That was wonderful.

A beautiful tribute to many musicians that have passed on.

I had the good fortune to see and meet Mike Garson three times
Twice with him as a clinician at MusicFest USA and once while work I'm working backstage in Portland, OR for the Bowie's Glass spider tour. Amazing player!

[@EltonBeatles]

I love the Gershwin interpretation.

[@roelofk4375]

I also heard Lennon and Chopin. I'm sure there's more.

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

....in the original version...he does a reference to....THE KING and I.....GENIUS....

[@johnnymisbegotten]

I was waiting for Mike to throw in the kitchen sink into that medley

[@atman5230]

He's an excellent piano player.I like the way he threw in some classical music Rhapsody In Blue.A bit of John Lennon,Imagine.

[@roelofk4375]

There's also a bit of Chopin. And probably more.

[@dirtydawg448]

There were a lot of other references too by Bowie and others - Time for example quite near the end

[@VIPFeedback]

@@roelofk4375 I heard Rachmaninov too 😂

[@andyjuliecarter1214]

Absolute genius. Just seen him do that almost note for note in Brisbane.

[@jacobh9344]

Noooooo why wasn’t I told this was in Brisbane!

[@amaurythewarrior]
