You really are listening to Bowie after age 40, by this time he had a decades worth of influential albums probably over a dozen top 40 iconic songs Jean Genie, fame , heroes, young Americans, fashion, ashes to ashes, to many to count .
Live Aid was a single event that took place simultaneously in the US and England. There was more than 50 artists that performed that day between the two. Besides the audience this was broadcast live in in over 100 countries with an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, approximately 40% of Earths population at the time. All this before cell phones or internet. I have the entire concert of DVD.
@@MarcoNegrisEye Queen put on a the best performance of their career but who would sit and listen to a Queen album? Live, yes. They are not made for listening at home. Queen are made for being in public. I've listened to Queen for decades but try as I might, their albums are boring.
Bowie was at the summit of the mountain all other New Wave acts (unsuccessfully) attempted to scale...all that was brewing up in Bowie's stage act since the mid 70s...where he took it, the rest followed...
People consider Queen's Live Aid (1985) performance one of the best ever. But on that same day there were two other performances that really are as great as Queen's: U2 and David Bowie. Every artist had 20 minutes that day. David Bowie took the initiative to drop one song, so the BBC could run an clip on the famine in Ethiopia. Which triggered the recording of Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas" and consequently the Live Aid event.
Fun Fact, the two background singers, (Black and white woman at front) were called "Pepsi and Shirly" they were a pop duo in their own right for a while in thw 80s but they were Backing Singers for all the major stars including Eric Clapton, i think Pink Floyd and a number of other Stars and obviously here Bowie.. Shirley (the Blond one) married Martin Kemp one of the Kemp brothers(twins) who were a big pop duo in the 80s/90s and who (being twins) played the Kray Twins in the (original) Krays movie. Just a bit of trivia.. 🏴🇬🇧
Bowie was simply magnificent at Live Aid: So cool and commanding. His entire set was amazing but his epic version of Heroes was the highlight of the day. Far more moving than Queen's football anthems.
He is an amazing artist. You need to check out the movie. The man who fell to earth he starred in that. His music changed. His personality, changed his looks changed all throughout his career. He was just amazing.
Heroes live in Berlin is a must. Just after the wall fell. Then you need to go back to 1979 for Bowie on SNL. He performed two songs. Both in full costume. Very 70's. Bowie changed his look almost every album. As well as sound. He draws from a huge pallet. So many Bowies to discover!!!
There is early film, when Bowie was building a fan base, audience and developing his act, of his wife in the front row 'whipping' up a crowd and leading them to dance and scream. Clearly not needed later but it shows the intelligence behind the 'Bowie' brand as it formed. Fantastic. I think Bowie studied Art, so this was a perfect outlet. So missed....check out Lazarus, so dark.
David Bowie has had so many different iterations. This is probably the most accessible version - basically looks like the coolest stockbrocker ever. I never much cared for his voice, but his artistry and ability to pick songs is amazing. Live Aid was SUCH a big deal. A lot of the acts didn't understand what it was going to be like.
Bowie had a fantastic voice. Far from his best here, admittedly but usually magnificent! A 4 octave range, great control, beautiful tone and always full of character and dripping with emotion. The only thing he really lacked vocally was power. His vocal performances in Wild is the Wind (full album version) and Lady Grinning Soul remain among my favourite vocal performances of all-time! :)
Try cuts from Bowie's Young Americans album with Luther Vandross back-up singers and David Sanborn on saxophone, like Somebody Up There Likes Me, Win, Fascination, Right and Can You Hear Me. Also Carlos Alomar funk on Secret Life of Arabia (Heroes album). His Let’s Dance album produced by Chic’s Nile Rogers (and it’s all good!). From Station to Station album: Stay. Also Black Tie, White Noise with Al B. Sure.…Tonight with Tina Turner... Knock on Wood (David Live, 1975) A friend of the the Black community - complained to MTV about Black videos being relegated to early morning. Married to Somali super-model Iman.
Bowie had more game than virtually every man …. Music, coolness… consummate rock star. Don’t believe? Look at who he married 🤷♂️ and they were together until he died.
Bowie had hit singles and albums in the US before this album but it was this album and it's hit singles, that made Bowie huge there. Consequently, for a lot of Americans this is how they know Bowie. Much of the rest of the World already knew Bowie, via his much more interesting, groundbreaking and innovative work in the 70s. Thus, outside of the US, while Let's Dance is still viewed as a good album, and despite it's commercial success, it's seen as slightly disappointing too. Outside of the US, this would rank way down the list of his greatest albums. Bowie himself described this period as his least satisfying, artistically and creatively,. It had become a little stale, which is why he deliberately stepped back from megastardom and effectively formed a small pub band, 'Tin Machine' only playing smaller venues and where he was just a member of the band. As I said, it's still a good album but it's not really vintage Bowie. Vintage Bowie was in the 70s and he'd gradually return to artistic greatness after Tin Machine. As for this specific track, it's easily the worst of the singles from the album. It's catchy enough but highly repetitive and doesn't really say anything and lacks his usual artistic and creative genius. Not only a low point for Bowie but for many fans too. I'm a huge fan so bought the album but it remains one of my least played from his entire catalogue.
The chorus is structured with each line calling back to the one before it. Here's the chorus: (Modern love) walks on by (Modern love) gets me to the church on time (Church on time) terrifies me (Church on time) makes me party (Church on time) puts my trust in God and man (God and man) no confession (God and man) no religion (God and man) don't believe in modern love
This is about as poppy as Bowie got. I hated it for years because it was clearly made for the charts. But I like its catchiness. He sang it to please that audience as it was a huge hit a couple of years before. But no Bowie fan would put it in their top 50. Bowie is just having fun at the Live Aid gig. If you see the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, when Freddie is at Wembley, you see him say hello to Bowie (or the actor playing him). Him and Freddie had met before Freddie was famous. Bowie was at the beginning of his fame and was in a London market and Freddie was working there. Freddie said he was a singer and wanted to pursue it. Bowie said 'don't although he was probably just joking. They were good mates. Although their egoes clashed when they recorded Under Pressure. Which makes it such an incredible song. They both wanted to do their best and get one over on the other.
David Bowie changed his look many times. In fact, one of his best-selling albums is called Ch-ch-ch-changes and he has a song called "Changes" too. I prefer the studio version of this song, but this was ok. I think you misheard the lyrics also.
Now you have done it. Hall and Oates and Bowie……swoon. D Hall and Bowie changed looks so often and they both have Hall of Fame Hair. You must do his Liveaid version of Heroes
Your lack of general knowledge is scary...lol. "Did David Bowie always have his hair like this?" Even people who never heard a Bowie song, know that he was known as a chameleon... constantly changing his look, his style of music...everything. Never repeating himself.
This wasn't the best live performance of this song on here.reactors usually do another concert one. In the 80's david had ditched the ziggy stardust character so no more makeup flamboyant hair outfits and platforms for a tailored pastel,blonde hair look.
It's weird cos I loved this performance when I first seen/heard it but when I searched the studio version I realised how shite his singing actually was on this live version 😂
Just my opinion of course, but perfect example of a singer ruining his own song, this version is a hundred times better:ruclips.net/video/HivQqTtiHVw/видео.html

He continually changed his look - his music, his style and even his personality. Constant change.
"Did he change his look at some point in his career?" Lol, girl, I really envy the Bowie journey you have ahead of you. 😂
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Young Americans performance is great. Bowie became obsessed with Philadelphia soul. Even has Luther Vandross singing with the backup singers.
Bowies whole career was change, he was never behind the curve, always in front.
You really are listening to Bowie after age 40, by this time he had a decades worth of influential albums probably over a dozen top 40 iconic songs
Jean Genie, fame , heroes, young Americans, fashion, ashes to ashes, to many to count .
What a great songwriter and performer he was! What a showman!
From live aid 👍👍Bowie was amazing, Heroes from the same concert is also fire 🔥

This is how you follow Queen at Live Aid
Na. Na mate. You don't. No one does. I get it. But you don't 😂
@@MarcoNegrisEyeasking if David Bowie changed is look is the same as asking are their any nazis in Kiev? 😅
@@James-hd6ez You misspelled Mar-a-Lago.
@@James-hd6ez I didn't ask that though ? 😂

Their performance of Heroes from this same concert is even better. U2's performance of BAD at Live Aid is legendary as well.

Yes, this haircut appeared as he entered the 80s but as a singer, songwriter and fashion icon he led others into the New Wave 80s.

Wham too.
Not true at all. Bowie's backing singers are Helena Springs and Tessa Niles.

David Bowie - Heroes (Live Berlin 2002)
Bowie liefe is a different level. He's always been a fashion innovator
Women dancing in heels was a trademark of the disco era.
David Bowie. Arrived supermodel Iman

Check out sir Bowie from the 70s like ziggy stardust changes or starman the hair and outfit are as good as the music xx

He changed his look with every album!
Bowie never looked the same way twice!!😂😂😂
So true , he and Daryl Hall had so many great looks
This was from his Thin White Duke period. In the 1970s he took on the Persona of Ziggy Stardust
You have to react to Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure. My favorite song ever!!

My guy forever.
Slow Burn from his Heathen album is Bowie just a couple years before his death. Again, all Bowie but unlike all previous Bowie.
I think i just found someone with the same vibes I got when I first seen this one 🕺🏻
The lyric is 'I don't believe in modern love"

You want energy? The Talking Heads "Life During Wartime" live from Stop Making Sense
Here he is "the thin white duke"
Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels. 🙂
You should check out his song I’m Afraid of Americans, it’s so good.
Would love to hear your reaction to his song Young Americans live version! With Luther Vandross singing back vocals
💙💙
I remember this haircut.
You should check out his earlier stuff. He’s a very artistic person and a wonderful performer

Uh yeah thats what he was known for
I always thought it was God And Men after the modern love quote. I’m not sure...?
You Picked the wrong song forget this and react to the live version of " HEROES" from the same show at Live Aid it's epic
Please watch the video to this song.
This isn't bad, but the original studio version is so much better... 10 fold.
At what point in his career did Bowie not change his look?
Tempo is fast, and he lowers that high note a full octave
Your lack of general knowledge is scary...lol. "Did David Bowie always have his hair like this?" Even people who never heard a Bowie song, know that he was known as a chameleon... constantly changing his look, his style of music...everything. Never repeating himself.
This right here.
Did he change his look?😂😂😂
It's Bowie, when doesn't he change his look
Did Bowie change his look in his career...
Good performance, however the studio version is incomparable
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
