- Posted by www.nostalgotek... "Space Oddity" is a song written and performed by David Bowie and released as a music single in 1969. It is about the launch of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut; its title alludes to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, released the previous year. The lyrics have also been seen to lampoon the failed British space programme. The song appears on the album David Bowie (also known as Space Oddity). The BBC featured the song in its television coverage of the Apollo 11 launch and lunar landing, which took place in the days following the release of the song.

OMG! That is the origin. The place where everything started
It is
69
He is special!
Fab ... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away ... so cool.
not theres an original made in February in the same year
Just imagine… being able to paint such a vivid picture of emotions and colors with words!!
Baby Bowie!!! If you took a time machine back to this night and told him how iconic he'd be and how many people would love him and one day mourn him, it would surely have completely blown his mind!
Not really, very few people know are very aware of where they come from, where they’re at and where they’re going, oh he was definitely one of those people.
Hey!.....Nah, David was far to 'full of himself'....
Fab ... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away ... so cool.
1969.....never heard this version. It is a masterpiece..

Definitely, a very good version! Never heard it before either.
With the stylophone playing in the background
In 1969, I was 3 years old... and this song still thrills us. What an artist!
He looks so happy.
He dose
I feel like i just lost a long time friend
+carol adlon me too - cant get over it-- so sad-- what a drag eh
+tokaicarl yeah.....it brings to mind the saying...you don't know what you got til it's gone
Me too.
Me too
+carol adlon me too....still so very sad
David, I miss you more than words can describe....
R.I.P. Mr. Bowie.
will enjoy your beautiful music !
+virgorouge I love how you wish him to be in a place of love. I miss him so. Been a fan for over 40 years. Such a huge part of my life and now it is gone.
He's such a soft singer in this era of bowie

He wouldn't look so healthy again for another 8 years.
Ever
22 year old Ziggy. So amazing
Ziggy wouldn't be created for another 3 years.
So nervous here, aww
Haha he really does seem nervous
He was just a boy, at that period.
Yes
Because he's very high.
On the contrary , I think he's very composed , considering how stripped back and exposed this is. His delivery is very relaxed , even slightly behind the beat , showing real confidence in his ability and his material , especially given that shit-awful lounge band behind him with the drummer from hell.
His eyes, his smile, his voice, his music... ♥♥♥
Fab ... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away ... so cool.
Thelma, this is all before he met the spiders from mars( actually from my home town of Hull)
🤍🤍🤍
This is ground control to major Tom! We'll miss you!! Thanks for all the wonderful music!
RIP Major Tom... Thanks for ur all beautiful and inspiring music. We'll miss uuuu....
As an 11 year old when this came out, I remember thinking, I like this but everybody will think its weird, so keep quiet. Thankfully, enough people agreed with me, and the rest as they say, is history!
How am I just now seeing this for the first time, what a freaking masterpiece, love me some Bowie!
What a treasure. Like this performance or not we are so lucky to live in a time where people we loved like Bowie still have things like this in a time capsule for us to enjoy.
so sad even 10months after his death, I keep on digging up and finding tons of video footage of him.
fascinate with his life story, simply the best, r.I.p
Fab ... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away ... so cool.
And thus, a legend was born...
must be first and last time a real orchestra use a Stylophone ,, amazing
He was 22 years old when he sang this, he looks a bit uncomfortable but still great performance.
He looked very handsome and his voice is the same as in the studio version unlike today's so called artists Katy Perry Nicki Minaj..... I still wish i didn't go see Katy Perry live. Waste of money
AutoTune is the work of Satan.To me, it just makes lead vocals sound like audio mush.
Bowie had a remarkably clear tenor-baritone voice, and he knew how to use it to its best effect. What I like about this vid is the give-and-take between Bowie and the "house band." Both sides start out tentatively. Bowie gains confidence, and the band's collective mind taps into that. I mean, geez -- they might have had one full run-through of the song in rehearsal, right? Then, the band is wholly on his side, and they all bring it to a phenomenally energetic finish. It was a genuine breakthrough performance in many ways.
@Stefano Magaddino pop music it´s popular music, if bowie was there at that time it´s because he was popular, the diference is that he really was a real talented artist
@Steven Franklin The ones I listen to from today are like Arctic Monkeys and Green Day. Those are the ones who mostly still try not to use auto-tune and just use their normal voice.
@@haplessasshole9615 very well observed and probably fairer to the band than I would have been.
This excellent live performance was at the Ivor Novello awards, May 10, 1970. Bowie won a special merit award for originality ... a quality we saw time and again throughout David's illustrious career.
He was 22 and wrote some important music history.
And I don't remember what I did when I was 22 years old.
Fab ... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away ... so cool.
@@waynenorthspacebuoy3529 spamming that over and over won't make people want to watch your channel.
EN SERIO, ESTA CANCIÓN TIENE ALGO MÁGICO.
realmente pienso lo mismo que tu
A pesar de que lo escribiste hace 5 años estoy totalmente de acuerdo.
David Bowie era alguien especial 😢
Love that 12 string guitar....wish I could buy it on auction. People with odd colored eyes are very special people...and Bowie was no exception. I envy him. When I went to our family's barber as a small child in the 1980s I told her, I wanted a David Bowie haircut.
I had a pair of lime green bell bottoms. Brings back memories. Thanks for the video.
I remember this was just before the Apollo 11 moon launch. Showing my age here. Bowie was a trailblazer !
do you think NASA got the idea from him?
Just think a few years later he would change everything. Thanks David RIP
R.I.P. Mr. Bowie.
will enjoy your beautiful music !
I feel like i just lost a long time friend
Fucking incredible. David, if youre still reading this, you are a professional. Btw I know. Please do good. Cheers
You can really hear the Syd Barrett influence on this tune
2:24 best part
I saw him around this time, he was 3rd on the bill, Iron Butterfly were top and Dada, Robert Palmer and Elkie Brooks band before Vinegar Joe were 2nd and there were two bands below him Samson and Gryphon but it did cost 15 bob a ticket.
He wore an Afghan coat and was scruffier than he is here, although you can't not look scruffy in an Afghan can you? He had one of those very wide guitar straps with a Rolf Harris Stylophone on it that he connected to his sound system. I'd like to say that I recognised that he'd become a massive star but I didn't.
There were some amazing bills in those days. I often wonder how they got them all on and off… I saw a poster the other day in a tribute news item to the late Gerry Marsden (RIP). There were eight bands on the bill, with Gerry and the Pacemakers headlining, and two shows! 615pm and 8 pm. They must have only done one song each!
@@Dermot2927
Yes mate, the sets got longer as the evening went on, they had to really because Iron Butterfly's Ina Gadda da Vida lasted about 15 or 20 minutes but the Roadies earned their corn, there must have been about 25 tons of equipment on stage and 15 miles of cables, and that was just for IB, oh and not forgetting Bowie's Stylophone.
Chrysalis did some great bills as well, Ten Years After, Jethro Tull and Stone the Crows on the same bill for about 8 shillings. Great times. Thanks for the reply.
an amazing iconic song and artist but also shows he was not immune to the fashion of day...Pink flares and flowery shirt...glad he found hid style later on..R.I P. to a legend
..
oh, he found it friend. and your manifest in life ?
So sad is major tom.and the sad
Wanna cry while listening
Aww, he looks so sweet and innocent here. Fresh faced Bowie - absolutely darling!!
yes, this would be prior to all the gay sex
God bless your soul my precious creator of so much wonderful music across so many venues. You will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace sir, your music, your inspiration, your kindness will LIVE forever.
Rip in peace David Bowie we will miss your songs
Anyone else know of any other earlier Bowie performances that have been caught on video? This is the earliest one I could find. It's really cool to see how his style is different and his presence isn't as bold.
It’s Not a musical performance but he was on television in 1964 i think, where he gave sort of an interview for the rights of long haired men or something.
@@thegouster6078link please?
Love You Till Tuesday - 28 min promo with 9 songs from Jan/Feb 1969
I remember the BBC got loads of criticism before the performance because they were airing a complete nobody with such an unknown songwriting reputation on such an auspicious occasion......but the plaudits kept on rolling in after it had been aired....the rest is history!.
What was the show
He’s adorable!!! Awww I love how cute he is. And he’s so talented too!
He has such a unique voice
love you bowie, thank you for changing my life.
Oww, baby Bowie.
Bowie, you will never be forgotten. 🤘🤘
🤘
😂I was 11 years old when he performed this song back in 1969, he definitely scored big with this song!
Brilliant song.
Although at the time it came out it, must have been an awful song for the Apollo 11 crew to hear in the build up to their mission.
bobbyladd this song was recorded the day that the apollo 11 landed on the moon
They wouldn't have heard it. It was only used for the BBC broadcasts about the mission, and it was not a huge hit in the UK in 1969, either. When it was released in the US in 1969, it sank like a stone. Only upon its re-release in 1972 (because of Ziggy Stardust) did it get to #15 in the US and #1 in the UK.
What a voice. Legendary
Just brilliant! Thanks for posting this.
How much I miss him, kinda feels like I've lost a family member...
Great version ! We love you David !
Happy Birthday David. We miss you still.
What a great voice.
Just divine. R.I.P beautiful boy
Happy Birthday David, miss you..
Pouty, baby Bowie might be one of my favourite Bowies! He was amazing and sulky and perfect!
I've always loved Bowie, and what an amazing video
RUclips is the only closest thing to a time machine
Thanx for this very appreciated
1969!!!!! So far ahead of his time!
this just clicked in my head
this is better quality than every single show he did in the 1990s, the video quality is better.. for some reason
Complex 'n full live orchestra. That's all.
No more time for that... sadly.
Absolutely Spectacular.
Wow awesome 12 string. I’ve been playing almost 30 years and I’ve never played a 12
Lost one of the great ones way to soon
Rest easy Mr Bowie
Your music will always stay with us
Fab ... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away ... so cool.
i love him more than words can explain
best pre ziggy stardust version of space oddity
Of all the videos its here he looks the most beautiful. What a great life.
Original Outstanding and birth of Major Tom in Space. Rip David Bowie.
This is masterpiece
16.05.2022! I feel im not alone
23.06.2022... Hi!
@@jazzquebec2847 Hi!
Anyone in 2022 ??
There's even an earlier version in 1969 here on youtube. It sounds different but still good. His hair is different in it too.
Best style of Bowie as far I'm concerned.
Kane Poe so like everyone else at the time...
@@cherrycola3604 he wore it best but it wasn't as unique as his later styles
In the meanwhile everyone was dreaming the Moon landing, he was already on Mars...
>>
So young David...
merci pour le morceau légendaire
The best in space music!
Essa música, nessa versão é mágica demais!
His voice matured so much better later in life.
This is a treasure if trying to work out David's chord choices in this song
Best version of Bowie
Wrote this on the "STYLOPHONE" !!
I'm digging his Bell Bottoms, LOL. I had a pair of orange Flair Bell Bottom Jeans myself, lol.I hated them.they would always get caught in the chain on my bike. I had no chain guard.
This looks like a high school talent contest. He's got the 1969 Robert Plant long shag. I love to see this version because it was re-leased in 1973 and was much more at home in the glam rock era. He was always ahead of his time.
thank you for your amazing and inspiring music
Amazing difference between this and Serious Moonlight live version of the 80s
I love this song very much,and David Bowie😘
Yes, Major Tom ..there´s nothing you can do
OMG! That is the origin. The place where everything started
Looks like Bowie never really aged. It's kind of weird.
must be first and last time a real orchestra use a Stylophone ,, amazing
Goodness me, that songs is as old as I am
He was still called David Jones in1969
Боуи крут👍 R.I.P.
Groovy dude... absolutely love this man.
This is a viddy never seen before, discovered by a miracle. In Italy we say "it's a chicca" ... God bless us. Paola
Was viddy a clockwork orange reference
@@adrianramsey1369 Why this viddy is a 'Clockwork Orange' reference? And do you mean Kubrick's book or movie? Unfortunately I don't see any connections.
@@paolacelletti2056 watch the movie trailer for the 40th anniversary blu ray should be one of the first things to show up when you search for a clockwork orange
@@adrianramsey1369 Please, could you send me the link? Thanks
@@paolacelletti2056 ruclips.net/video/vN-1Mup0UI0/видео.html
Great live version and great drumming / guitar / orchestra sounds.
This is a good song .. all u need is 🍄!
I just don't think that Bowie could pass all the physical tests to become an astronaut, but I would love to see it.
