I love the way David gets away with basically singing a harmony part for the melody at the beginning , not the first time I've seen him do it, either! He did a cameo with Pink Floyd, sang Comfortably Numb, and did the same thing! The pianist realized what he was doing and provided the melody and it was so awesome!😁💖
I don't think it was a case of "the pianist" suddenly realising what he was doing. Richard Wright always sang that part of the song, they simply harmonized according to each of them's timbre and range.
Ha this performance was good. Reed just bobbing there with hid guitra watching Bowie sing his song, I must say, Bowie definitely OWNS the stage here! And ha, I love how he breathes into the microphone at the end.
David Bowie is amazing. He doesnt move from that one spot on the stage (save for the solo), yet he fucking commands that stage. That man is charisma incarnate. Combine that with Lou Reed's amazing guitar playing and you have pure win. Awesome.
this is about the 5th amazing bowie cover ive favorited on youtube. he never ceases to amaze me, how he can turn a great influence into something completely his own, like he did with this song and queen bitch from hunky dory
Me deprime un montón saber que voy a morir sin ver en vivo a Lou Reed y a David Bowie. Lo único que me da felicidad es haber visto a Morrissey, ese momento es imborrable!
@SatanicMajesty Yes!!!!!!!! Bowie adds pure magic to all the other people's music he's been involved with. Even if it's backing vocals , he steals the show often!!!! His influence can't be overestimated!!!!!!!!!
In the foreground is a long-time Bowie band member, Miss Gail Ann Dorsey. She usually plays bass but can play other instruments. And she's excellent singing background vocals. She's toured the world over with Bowie.
Listen Waiting for the Man from the same Concert(Bowies 50th Birthday-Party in 1997) then you can hear sing them together!! (Also on Queen Bitch!) I`m really sad,that they didn´t much more together! Another example is Hop Frog from The Raven-Album! But sadly it`s just a Little more than 2 min. short! Two really giftet Musicians!! I listen now 30 Years to them,put I never get borred one Moment!
The two coolest dudes in Rock N' Roll.
Bowie was the coolest thing that ever walked the Earth!!
Absolutely!!!😁💖😘
No, Lou Reed was
Yeah I think David would 💯agree with you!😅@@seanconners4478
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOWIE is the best.......................................
Best White light/White heat cover I've ever heard.
Born in the 50's along with Rock and Roll ! What a great time to be alive !

That was one of the most sensual things I've ever seen.
WOW. I love this version!!!! Bowie's delivery is great...
This band of bowies were phenomenal.
Amazing performance by Bowie of one of the best songs ever. RIP Lou - my R&R Hero
Gayle Ann Dorsey laying down the bottom with the Bass, and making the vocals soar. A whole stage full of the best musicians.
This is so fantastic particularly given the 2 men's history. So funny to not see Lou sing any of it though.
This song is so bad ass, and even better the way Bowie does it!!!😁💖 Damn, he's the finest thing to ever walk this earth! Sigh...💖💖💖
He was just absolutely IN TOP FORM in all ways! In this performance!.
( His obvious feelings of comfort (🤔) & CONFIDENCE are really SECY🤫🤫🤭🤗😅
The two coolest guys ever. 48 years ago today The Velvet Underground released this classic. R.I.P. Legends.
EXACT!!!!!
Crackling Vinyl Iggy will join them! but no t yet thank fuck !! Iggy keep going!!!!! until!!!!!!😎😎😎😎🎶🎶
Two my ASS ... Reeves Gabrels is a fucking legend !
Thanks Andy!

David Bowie...White Light...Lou Reed...White Heat.....Together Hardcore.....
Magnificent. Great tune, marvelous execution.
This is the greatest cover of WL WH and is one of the best rock music tracks of all time.
Rest in Peace Bowie Rest in Peace Lou
Have seen both in person. Lou, once, so stoned he could barely stand up. David, six times, perfect every time.
Would love to hear more :)
RIP my hero's - X
The way David breathes in the beginning... :0
I was at this show! It was beyond amazing!
David Bowie really loved that artsy scene in New York.
let us hope they jam togheter now again!!
sweetest comment I've ever seen this past week :)
+MrCitalo sure they will and Freddy is allready joining :)
+Stephan De Bruyckere iggy must feel so left out bless him
David Bowie is amazing. He doesnt move from that one spot on the stage (save for the solo), yet he fucking commands that stage. That man is charisma incarnate. Combine that with Lou Reed's amazing guitar playing and you have pure win. Awesome.
so lucky to have been alive when they were
Bowie's band is f*&king awesome.
+Ricky Rhoades I'm a big fan of Lou Reed, but I think that this Earthling tour version of White Light/White Heat is the definitive one
This is footage from db 50th birthday concert at MSG.
The first punk rock song I ever heard ! 😭❤️
unforgettable duo!
Bowie and The Velvets are just a perfect match
Great version of this song. They weren't booing, they were Louing.
The perfect cover of this song.
I just love it when that man dances
Bowie always thanked Lou Reed for his music.
Reed and Bowie of the Gods !
Bellissima questa versione. Di Wight light Wight head. E poi Con due grandi artisti come Lou Reed e David Bowie. L'hanno resa ancora migliore.
this is about the 5th amazing bowie cover ive favorited on youtube. he never ceases to amaze me, how he can turn a great influence into something completely his own, like he did with this song and queen bitch from hunky dory
Theirs a truth to this song.which makes it timeless .
fantastic Bowie
WOW BOWIE SO SUITED THAT HAIRSTYLE HE JUST LOOKED THE EPITOME OF SUPER COOL R.I.P. DAVID
Two of my favourite singers, singing a song that also has the name of a favourite band of mine in the title= :)
That final from 3:20 with the guitar riff and the piano is really orgasmic! That´s a REAL birthday party!
This Is Epic! A Song That is Literally About Heroin! Hahahaha!.
La energía con la que Bowie siempre soño apadrinando a Reed y Pop
Damn good band .
Me deprime un montón saber que voy a morir sin ver en vivo a Lou Reed y a David Bowie. Lo único que me da felicidad es haber visto a Morrissey, ese momento es imborrable!
You'll see them in Heaven.
this is too fucking good.
@SatanicMajesty Yes!!!!!!!! Bowie adds pure magic to all the other people's music he's been involved with. Even if it's backing vocals , he steals the show often!!!! His influence can't be overestimated!!!!!!!!!
(Lou, Reed was the New York city poet)!!!! HELLO ALL !. GOOD DAY
Back at you PRETTY AR.
A superb live perfomance.
Ttfn
you are absolutly right.,,but let us enjoy the goosebumps here,,amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
love it
Amazing
I Love them so!!!!!!!
two legends
Rock and roll sublime
thank you for settling that.
could not agree more! Would not bee too happy if I were lou!
Now THAT'S rock & roll. Fucking awesome. My only complaint is Bowie should've shared the vocal with Lou.
out of my mind!
sounds intelligent°°°
ROCK !!!
God of music
In the foreground is a long-time Bowie band member, Miss Gail Ann Dorsey. She usually plays bass but can play other instruments. And she's excellent singing background vocals. She's toured the world over with Bowie.
+Nancy Fintak Yes and she is gorgeous.
and she's hotter than fire.
That was fricken AWESOME …. RIP David Bowie
baddassss
I like this. But my favourite version is during his last Ziggy Stardust show in 1973.
R.I.P. Lou x
awesomeee! :D
They are jamming up there ... in the black stars
Total TIN MACHINE guitar!.....
i agree !
Maybe it was his birthday present. You can see he's put a lot of work into the song.
Freaking Badass
Kudos to Reeves Gabrels, lead guitar, and Gail Ann Dorsey, bass & backing vocals!
I love this song even the name WL/WH is cool.
lou & david.. both are great. i once read they shared their flat with iggy pop also. must have been pretty cool (and loud, maybe).
this version has just taken all the energy from the original song..
Lou looked suitably nonplussed.
couldn't agree with you more
yep.. couldn't agree more....:P
gostei muito
cool
@SatanicMajesty Kick ass indeed. That bass is driving, too!
in deed !
@JrFLYnnIV This is from Bowies 50th birthday, New York 1997.

It really ignites the heart though.
01:47 - Howard Stern keping a mean beat for Bowie is priceless
* keeeeeeeeeeeeping !!!!!!!
Love the guitar solo! Now where the hell can I get that effect?!!
Man, I'd like to get a hold of this whole concert. What was it called and where can I find it?
Lou Reed is definitely impressed by Bowie on this song. This is how it should be played and sung. And the guitarsolo is far out 😎
!?!??! I've been Rick Rolled ?!?!?!?!
@teden20 yeah it's pretty cool
people that dont get bowie clearly have never heard the album diamond dogs
Ciao Lou
Any guitar players out there know what the lead player is using for effects? It's quite a balls out crazy sound...love it!
And the Ramones
Micidiale !
Is this available on cd or dvd?
david bowie and lou reed....so :)))))
