Although Bowie and Three Dog Night did this song...it was written and performed by the late great Ron Davies...do yourself a favor and listen to his great version which was a legendary Leon Russell session...he produced and played piano.
I love Brendan Benson, he is so good with Jack White. Jack has got the amazing guitar work and Brendan just has this great voice, they go so well together!
I absolutely love Brendan Benson's voice. He's definatly way underrated and underappreciated. If you get the Raconteur's new CD "Conselors of the Lonely," Brendan has absolutely phenominal vocals on the songs "Old Enough" and "Many Shades of Black."
This is a cover of a David Bowie cover!!! Bowie covered the originally, which was recorded by its creator ... the amazing singer/songwriter Ron Davies.
can you imagine pulling that song off in front of that big of a crowd .... that shit is tight he gets much props...for his vocals sounds a little like the late great ronnie van zandt
You're ridiculous, bowie's version is amazing, and Jack's solo and the sheer expression of his face shows how deeply he's into it. If you don't enjoy it, go play by the highway.
Technically, You're right. In REALITY, Kurt Cobain,Jack White, Dylan, Pretty much anyone who could be targeted for having a voice that doesn't fit the mainstream benefits more from the distinction than the criticisim.
too small? haha hes using a 26'' bass drum...thats monsterous. i really like him though, hes right up there with john bonham or jon theodore in the bombastic category
oh brother .. some of the best bowie performances are of songs he didn't pen (ie white light, white heat), and not all songs written by bowie are brilliant ... some are, but then some are the opposite of that. as for whether or not jack white sucks, I think most will agree that he does not.
this song sounds so much like Raconteurs.. like "Old Enough" from Broken Boy Soldiers, but of course Bowie's version is soooooo much better.. without Jack White's guitar... heheh..

Holy s*** this is an outstanding version of this epic song

On my way, James. Thank you for your service.

I love Brendan Benson, he is so good with Jack White. Jack has got the amazing guitar work and Brendan just has this great voice, they go so well together!
Jack isn’t in this set though
First I ever seen this band, excellent performance of Bowie's excellent song.💯🍀💚
Fuck this guy can sing
Very good song Brendan has a lovely voice, WOW
I didn't know the raconteurs covered bowie!!! AWESOME!!!

damn fine cover fellas 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 one of my fave Bowie tracks
This is a cover of a David Bowie cover!!! Bowie covered the originally, which was recorded by its creator ... the amazing singer/songwriter Ron Davies.
I bet 2% of the audience knew this song before the chorus. After the chorus... 4%...

it's a cover of david bowie, who also covered it. i think ron davies wrote it originally.
can you imagine pulling that song off in front of that big of a crowd .... that shit is tight he gets much props...for his vocals sounds a little like the late great ronnie van zandt
oh man, I was at this show and it was so amazing
even he doesen´t sing you can see that he feels the song so much...that´s wonderful ^^
This is the BEST SONG EVER.
You're ridiculous, bowie's version is amazing, and Jack's solo and the sheer expression of his face shows how deeply he's into it. If you don't enjoy it, go play by the highway.
THIS IS MY SONG...LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
great cover of a great song.
...Great Song & Killer Version!
very few men can pull off a v that deep, brandon benson is just that epic
I knew it was a modified Duo Jet, I didn't know the rest, thanks for the info.
It's almost as if there is a tiny man playing and organ in Brendon's throat. it sounds incredible!
white's axe is SICK.
first time i heard bowie version i thought that it would suit jack white style and this version already existed lol
Agreed.
This band looks like a mix of the "Turtles" meet "Mountain" with a CSN&Y taste?
I like it very much and wish more bands like this would tour!!
Brendans voice ..killer
His voice sounds very similiar to Jack's !
Technically, You're right. In REALITY, Kurt Cobain,Jack White, Dylan, Pretty much anyone who could be targeted for having a voice that doesn't fit the mainstream benefits more from the distinction than the criticisim.
perry farrell really knows how to throw a party !!!
cheers great find huh
i know this is late falloutboy but he has more than some talent... a lot more
... and Benson is huge Bowie fan.
@jason72855 They did, to Vault members...the Racs live in London :)
brendan benson is one of the best singers out there today
I know exactly what you mean...
Who is Rich Kid Blues by? Thats not Bowie to, is it?
yeah they cover songs a lot
This is My Favorite Song.
Does anyone know the acoustic guitar chords to it?
yeah he has two bass drums, one thats oversized and the other one's half the size of a regular bass drum.
no it was defintely just ron davies. you're confusing him with ray davies of the kinks.
not sure about this cover, but great vocal performance.
Does anyone have an audio file of this they could send to me?
@jason72855 hell the fuck yes they do
no falloutboy is a youtube user lol cuz falloutboy said Jack White has some talent so yea
yeah, I can't find the correct chords for this song - any advice - send me a message
I dare say this is better than Bowie's version. His voice is so pure.
So much better than 'Crazy'
too small? haha
hes using a 26'' bass drum...thats monsterous.
i really like him though, hes right up there with john bonham or jon theodore in the bombastic category
My gosh, what is it with Dean and that stripey shirt?
Cover Foghat & Nugent
with the help of a guru
yeah perty sure it's the whammy.
B
I know that, you know, but I figure Bowie kind of made his own.
wow... this band is TRUE shit...mmm that makes me think...
oh brother .. some of the best bowie performances are of songs he didn't pen (ie white light, white heat), and not all songs written by bowie are brilliant ... some are, but then some are the opposite of that. as for whether or not jack white sucks, I think most will agree that he does not.
They all look so young there - except LJ... LJ always looks the same ._.
You're Gay this is the best band on the face of the EARTH!
I'm sorry, but technically, Brendan is a better singer. But i love Jack's raspy, original style more.
This is better than the "Ziggy Stardust" version. Brendan Benson was born to sing this song.
these days- foo fighters riff jajaja
i was going to read the possible absurd that someone said about it, but the comment has received too many negative votes. thank god.
this song sounds so much like Raconteurs.. like "Old Enough" from Broken Boy Soldiers, but of course Bowie's version is soooooo much better.. without Jack White's guitar... heheh..
Wait.. DO NOT compair anything Jack White has done with Fallout Boy.. EW
