I was privileged to work with the guy. I will never forget looking out from the stage at Earls Court in 1978 to see the stage lights reflecting off the first 10 rows of the audience with their eyes and mouths wide open, totally in awe. And that was just the first song, Warzawa. Stunning stage presence. Genius and a sadly missed friend.
Just a normal but not a normal bloke. Approachable, with a good sense of humor. You could just imagine going with David to a local pub and having a pint or two and chewing over music. In fact, a devoted fan parked outside his apartment block, thinking that he might get a view of David. This guy was an ardent fan and had followed David internationally to his concerts. When David found out he went downstairs, knocked on the car window, invited the guy back to his flat, where they danced to tracks on his new album while the guy gave David feedback about what he thought. The guy stated it was simply incredible. This is how David was. He was talented, but he was totally human and generous. He had a lot of issues in his initial married life, but in the end it all turned out ok. His musical talent was astonishing. I remember him in his Ziggy Stardust days way back in the 70's. That was a magical time. It is just a great pity he could not carry the Spiders with him. Mick Ronson too went out with liver cancer, same as David. I miss David. We will probably never see his like again. But look what he left us. Never to be forgotten. The best.
You can tell he just enjoys interacting and talking with people. He has such a positive spirit. It's a shame he had to struggle with so much emotional turmoil it is personal life. I just learned that the song "Ashes to Ashes" off the "Scary Monsters" album was about him and his struggle with drug addiction. Maybe that's what made him such a great artist--not the drugs but having to struggle and fight to stay saying everyday. You can tell from those phone requests that he's very down to earth, personable, sensitive, and has a great sense of humor.
This is the irony of a very young listener asking for Ashes to Ashes, and Bowie saying, "OK Georgie." What an incredibly kind guy, who is clearly shocked at the kid's choice but also respectful of his favorite song, that appeals to him on his level. His reaction, his patience and his creativity all show what an incredible person he was. RIP>
At 1:01:36 Bowie makes this wonderful, understated, acknowledgement of the aging process ... memory isn't quite what it used to be; eyes aren't quite what they used to be. And he actually invited this revealing bit. Aside from being an extraordinary artist, Bowie was also a wise and gracious man. He is deeply missed ...
I love the way he mimics his 1970's voice on Starman and Ziggy Stardust, that higher thinner pitch, and broad South London A's he had then, perfectly reproduced. Cool!
Bowie es un extraterrestre. Gracias por TODO. Cada día me doy cuenta de que eras más grande de lo que ya te consideraba. Bueno, eres, siempre estarás con tu impresionante polifacético legado. Allá donde estés, gracias gracias y gracias. Cada día te oigo y admiro más que antes. Afortunado de verte 2 veces. En Estocolmo, en primera fila. Inolvidable. Te querremos siempre.
I really love how Bowie treats each caller with respect and humor. And he's very honest about being a father, and answering the Mark McEwen's questions about the creative process. (songwriting). The drummer here is fabulous! Just right for each song. I really like the whole band. This performance - the entire thing - is something I return to regularly.
That's Sterling Campbell on drums and the amazing Reeves Gabriels leading the band on guitar. Sterling was with Soul Asylum for a while back in the 90's and Reeves came in for the first Tin Machine record, which is one of my favorite albums of all-time.
The guy was incredibly hypnotic to watch live .. as a life long Bowie fan I feel privileged to have seen him live twice .Both highlights of my life .Iv just introduced my 2 year old grandson to Bowie.He now sings starman and tells me .Nanna ..Bowie ... starman .🥰
@@zanichbug And Campbell. And Dorsey. Amazing band for this tour - I was lucky enough to see him (second time) at the Area 2 in Boston a month or so after this show, incredible.
His was the last concert I saw in Toronto on both nights. He was amazing, a treasure. Miss him but his incredible work lasts forever until the end of time.
the way he sort of does an impression of his younger self when he sings Ziggy Stardust is mindblowing. His older voice is so rich and deep but he could thin it out and de-age it so easily
David Bowie made my life worth living when I was a sad mixed-up kid. I idolized the man! And he quickly became my favorite artist of all time! Had the great pleasure of seeing him 4 times in concert. He is sadly missed.
Slip Away Lyrics: Oogie waits for just another day Drags his bones To see the Yankees play Bones Boy talks and flickers gray Oh, they slip away Once a time They nearly might have been Bones and Oogie on a silver screen No one knew what they could do Except for me and you They slip away They slip away Don't forget To keep your head warm Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd Watching all the world And war torn How I wonder where you are Oo-o Sailing over Coney Island Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd We were dumb But you were fun, boy How I wonder where you are Oo-o Oogie knew there's never ever time Some of us will always stay behind Down in space it's always 1982 The joke we always knew Oo-oo What'sa matter with you C'mon, let's go Slip away Oo-o Don't forget To keep your head warm Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd Watching all the world And war torn How I wonder where you are Oo-o Sailing over Coney Island Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd We were dumb But you were fun, boy How I wonder where you are Oo-o Sailing" What a masterpiece. God how I miss you David! You are one of a kind, as only the best were. How I wonder where you are, Oo-o. :(
@@haskna I did not have a conversation with him. I was on stage during a sound check, standing 15' behind him. You can't help but sing along to his music. He stopped singing, turned his head in my direction, I had an "oh shit moment", and then he continued. I wouldn't trade that mistake for anything. (I was singing on stage with David Bowie!!). ha ha... That really happened.
Ron Travisano, I'll bet. Wish I had been there. Good for you. I would have loved to have the opportunity to make Bowie a bit (well not mad), but have the look in his eyes to tell you the be quiet! Very cool. Bowie is one if not my fav musician ever. If not the most fav. Just to have him nail you with his eyes would have blown me away.I would have fell over. Good for you. Love that story. Thanks for sharing.
Yo también vuelvo a este video de vez en cuando .. Me sorprende que nunca me canse de admirarle .. Me hipnotiza tanto! I Intento razonar cual es su secreto .. , llego a la conclusión que no es: ni la voz, ni la mirada, ni el estilo de sus movimientos, ni sus canciones, ni su pelo, ni su sonrisa, ni su música ... ¿? Es TODO ÉL, es como una obra de arte, bellísima obra de arte con toda su persona y también como nos entrega su entusiasmo y su alma .. David, eres único ..! Gracias, infinitas graciassss
I got chills so many times watching this! Like the girl from Capistrano, I too was blessed to see him in concert as Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, Santa Monica Civic '72, and again as the Thin White Duke. He was amazing then and he's amazing here as well. He gave each song its due, didn't rush through anything, just played and sang them as they were meant to be sung.
J'ai mis cette émission en mémoire et je la regarde régulièrement. ....la nuit. ....hors du monde. ....dans ma bulle. .....avec des écouteurs. ....à fond. ...et je m'endors parmi pleins d'étoiles. ...Nous aurions besoin de vous en ce moment ....et de votre art..... pour nous aider à défendre notre modèle. ...et civilisation. ...devant la barbarie, la prohibition de toutes differences..... et la mise en place d'une " pensée unique ".... quitte à réécrire l'histoire ! HELP US!
It's amazing how absolutely gracious David Bowie is. He is so kind to his audience, and to the host. He was especially kind and clever with the people who called in to make requests. Such a great personality. I have no idea what he was like behind the stage or in the studio. But I think in the long run, he was an artist who was so dedicated to his work. So passionate about his work. He appears to be one of those people who was not going to let anything stop him from creating and performing no matter what. What a spirit!
Great demonstration of humanity. Excellent support band, especially the rhythm section. A shame they kicked into Ashes to Ashes before David could have a conversation with 5-year old George. I wonder if he ever got to call George back? Thank you for sharing.
Fondest memories when ziggy stardust was on midnite special singing major Tom my dad just got home working 2cd shift ,took one look at the tv and asked “what the hell is that” 😂
David always did choose truly great musicians as his backing band; but this band must be something else to have such a repertoire when the caller could choose any bloody track Mr Bowie ever recorded. Great stuff.
@@nija1976 You know not of what you speak. First of all, do you think for even a nano second that David would settle for "robotic session player types"? You don't know who any of them are, outside of Garson. The guitar stage right was Earl Slick. He was the one who played on Station to Station on both the album and song, and the one who came up with that amazing guitar solo on the song S2S. The guitarist in the middle was Mark Plati. He he's a multi instrumentalist, producer and was the band leader. He worked with David from 1997 to 2002. The guitarist on stage left is Gerry Leonard. He worked with David from 2000 to 2004 and then again on The Next Day, as did Earl Slick. The bassist was Gail Ann Dorsey. She worked with David from '95 to 2004, and then on The Next Day. The drummer was Sterling Campbell and he worked with David from '99 to '04 and then on The Next Day. Ever heard the saying, "Better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"? Keep your mouth shut when you don't know WTF you're talking about.
I remember requesting the same song as Moby, except I didn't get on the air. They took Moby's call instead. I was waiting in the cue. It's seems this was yesterday when I watched this TV special.
Definitely. David always had the best musicians, and the right ones for every performance. Mike Garson - keyboards Earl Slick - Guitar Mark Plati - Guitar Sterling Campbell - drums Katherine Russell - backing vocals, keyboards, percussion Jerry Leonard - guitar Gail Ann Dorsey - bass guitar All of them are the best in the business. All absolutely awesome in their own right. 👏❤️
So many songs. This man was legendary. And being able to perform them all with such skill, and always a little different. It's never exactly like the recording, that's what I love the most about Bowie.
Well I watched this originally when it came out, amazing, I'm in tears here, he was .....stood alone......thank you dear GOD for letting me live on this earth the same time as this great man did.....amen....
David Bowie: Um dos mais geniais artistas da história (ator, compositor, cantor, performer, pintor...). Bowie é um Gigante. E que apresentação maravilhosa de Bowie e sua banda. E Bowie ainda esbanja simpatia. Bowie faz muita falta. David Bowie: One of the most brilliant artists in history (actor, composer, singer, performer, painter...). Bowie is a Giant. And what a wonderful performance by Bowie and his band. And Bowie still oozes sympathy. Bowie is sorely missed.
One of a best time of my life 77/78/79/80th We went to David Bowie shows everywhere with my friend Dominique as She was so crazy of Him. ❤ Me too with another dimension. I love his voice & all🔥 David is so romantic and a real gentleman Thank you for your Love• Oh ! 😢 RIP🎇 🌠🌹 miss you)💞
What a great performance! He played anything they asked for and his band knows all his songs! That is awesome to me. I know the band he has here most of them were with him a very long time tho.
You know whats crazy mark mcewan was my highschool drama substitute teacher, hes reason why im watching this video. I had the honor to have many thorough talks with him about his conversations with bowie, george harrison, garth brooks, anyone you can think of. Absolute legend and amazing person
Il es toujours présent dans mes pensées. Je l'adoration bien ses composition était vraiment narurel et d'un charme irrésistible pour le grand respect envers la FEMME . ❤
A exceptional human being and artist. So glad i was alive for his time with us. He could be it all at such a high level. I wish there was a complete recording of his performance as the Elephant Man. This made me smile and cry. I miss this Starman so.
Me.encataaa David !! Amo.ese estilo d bailar muy ochentoso es wow super sexy !! El dirige todo el show !! Eso q ya estaba grande jeje p con.toda la ondaaa
Desde mi niñez, tengo 58 años, la mùsica ha sido mi refugio, y en el siempre han estado David Bowie y L. van Beethoven. Los amo y se que ellos tambien a mi. Un ser humano excepcional, un regalo para la humanidad.❤ Gracias por este regalo que comparten con el mundo.

My bad - David my hero.
yeah. sure. :/
What an amazing performer, such a legacy he’s given us and sorely missed!
I would have requested The Laughing Gnome, just to scare him. Then I would have let him off the hook and asked for The Man Who Sold The World.

the funny thing is that mime and meme come from the same etimology wich is mimema (imitated thing)

Only a legend like Bowie can play a blistering set like this and could still have played another three brilliant sets with completely different songs.
Hard to go wrong with Slick and Garson on your team...
@@zanichbug And Campbell. And Dorsey. Amazing band for this tour - I was lucky enough to see him (second time) at the Area 2 in Boston a month or so after this show, incredible.
Despite his obvious greatness, Bowie had always been surrounded by the best musicians
The way planets gravitate toward their sun.
why 'despite'.....solid reasoning maybe
Who would turn down an invite from Bowie to go on the road for a tour?
BECAUSE OF his greatness! Not "in spite of"
@@zanichbugapparently SRV turned him down. He didnt want to learn choreography or wear costumes or something to that effect
The man is a legend, one of a kind ❤
George picked a great song. Best version of Ashes to Ashes I have heard. Great solos.

Slip Away Lyrics:
Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones
To see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away
Once a time
They nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away
Don't forget
To keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world
And war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Sailing over
Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb
But you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
What'sa matter with you
C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-o
Don't forget
To keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world
And war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Sailing over
Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb
But you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Sailing"
What a masterpiece.
God how I miss you David! You are one of a kind, as only the best were. How I wonder where you are, Oo-o. :(
wow what a great performance ...RIP ...its 2024 he still rockin
Such a good looking, polite, charming, talented man he was. I miss him daily and I will miss him the rest of my life.
I'm with you on that one everyday
Absolutely

When I think about the horrors of this timeline we now live in, I think, “thank god Bowie didn’t live to see this..” He was too good for this World.
My son came to see me tonight. We are on here watching Bowie. He has never seen this before! This is great!
What a wonderful variation on Let's Dance!! The slow and tender opening was a beautiful and unexpected treat!!
I worked on this show. I had installed and operated some small robotic cameras hidden on stage. It was a great thrill.

From people who worked with him, he was well mannered, professional, and a gentleman.

ALL THE GREATEST SINGERS?🚶♂️🎶

David always did choose truly great musicians as his backing band; but this band must be something else to have such a repertoire when the caller could choose any bloody track Mr Bowie ever recorded. Great stuff.
Fantastic drummer
Why did Mark play bass on Ashes to ashes? Sure Gail could have handled it

Disagree except for creative Mike Garson. They're all just too robotic, session player types.

We all know what a great performer David was but lets have some likes for his incredible Band.
Definitely. David always had the best musicians, and the right ones for every performance.
Mike Garson - keyboards
Earl Slick - Guitar
Mark Plati - Guitar
Sterling Campbell - drums
Katherine Russell - backing vocals, keyboards, percussion
Jerry Leonard - guitar
Gail Ann Dorsey - bass guitar
All of them are the best in the business. All absolutely awesome in their own right.
👏❤️
Thanks to Moby for calling in and requesting a fantastic version of Sound And Vision
Rock music was made for David Bowie. Heathen is one of my favourite Bowie albums , and I have them all . This is a great concert.
Oh, yeah. Heathen is also one of my favorites, too. Thank you for the call out. What a performance.
The most beautiful eyes and smile I've ever seen.
So agree!
So many songs. This man was legendary. And being able to perform them all with such skill, and always a little different. It's never exactly like the recording, that's what I love the most about Bowie.

David Bowie: Um dos mais geniais artistas da história (ator, compositor, cantor, performer, pintor...). Bowie é um Gigante. E que apresentação maravilhosa de Bowie e sua banda. E Bowie ainda esbanja simpatia. Bowie faz muita falta.
David Bowie: One of the most brilliant artists in history (actor, composer, singer, performer, painter...). Bowie is a Giant. And what a wonderful performance by Bowie and his band. And Bowie still oozes sympathy. Bowie is sorely missed.
Tan hermosa du música que me emociona siempre en mi corazón David yo escuchándolo en Julio 2024
I always smile while watching this concert. it is so warm and Bowie is so cute))

Such a relaxed performance that night. He was so gentle and kind soul ♥
Ademas de gran musico , gran dote de bailarin !! Capooo
I wish I was fortunate enough to see him live
He's so personable that after watching this, I actually felt like I spent time with the man irl
If I coulda got through on this call.... I'd have asked for African Night Flight.❤
What a charming and kind man♥️
My Favorite Artist so. Unique and talented
Oh man what a legend
"George" is pushing 30 now, time is a bitch!
Awww I wish I had been there or rung in, Love him so much ... RIP David
Me too. :((((
I remember watching this with my mom live! Awesome upload.
Sean Drysdale I remember watching this with my mom also! Was a fantastic concert!
Absolutely
What a great performance! He played anything they asked for and his band knows all his songs! That is awesome to me. I know the band he has here most of them were with him a very long time tho.
It's fun seeing a young audience enjoying the performance of this legend.
The music is great and the added jokes Bowie pulls off in between just by his talking to the people on the phone is such an added bonus!
You know whats crazy mark mcewan was my highschool drama substitute teacher, hes reason why im watching this video. I had the honor to have many thorough talks with him about his conversations with bowie, george harrison, garth brooks, anyone you can think of. Absolute legend and amazing person
RUclips is becoming a place for some serious historical archiving stuff. It would be nice to have this video at higher than potato quality.

A exceptional human being and artist. So glad i was alive for his time with us. He could be it all at such a high level. I wish there was a complete recording of his performance as the Elephant Man. This made me smile and cry. I miss this Starman so.
The rock and roll chameleon never disappoints . Each song done to perfection like a concert on to itself
Me.encataaa David !! Amo.ese estilo d bailar muy ochentoso es wow super sexy !! El dirige todo el show !! Eso q ya estaba grande jeje p con.toda la ondaaa
I don't cry often anymore but I miss this man and his music. This was a great video and the tears I cry are bittersweet.
I'm a guy, and when Heroes came on, I was found with tears in my eyes, David Bowie's music impacted my like more than I can truly imagine.
Rip David 🙏 a legend now and forever 🙏
