    I wonder what the Wolfman made of that performance? It's so totally out of whack it's brilliant. Bowie with feathers and high heels, Marianne dressed like a nun and I don't really know where the backup singers came from but they fit in perfectly. May I remind everyone of the quality of this recording/video, it's 50 years ago.

    I just had to see this again today. I'm sorry to hear of Marianne's death. She was the ultimate survivor. When this was first aired on the Midnight Special in 1973, I was FLOORED!!!!!! I was getting more into Bowie during this time, but THIS show and then THIS performance made me LOVE him. It was a revelation for me, and I was not quite the same afterwards. Kudos to Bowie, for being friendly to Marianne and helping her out during this period in her life. Nothing could top this performance. Marianne was a December Capricorn and Bowie was a January Capricorn. I'm a January Capricorn. LOVED THEM both. RIP Marianne and Bowie. Peace

    @kevind4850 Год назад +70

    I vividly recall this one "flooring" me when I watched the original airing. One of the more bizarre performances I'd ever seen. Marianne was basically living on the streets, strung-out and destitute after Jagger dumped her. Amazing that Bowie managed to get this performance from her at all. Since she wasn't taking care of her health, her voice definitely had begun to suffer at this point. Even though her voice suffered more damage in the years after this performance, she kicked the drugs, made the best of things, and fashioned a considerable career as a solo artist and actress that still continues.

    Fantastic take on a sweet love song. I love these two singing together and now they are together in Rock and Roll Heaven. They are so young in this video and gorgeous. Their outfits are so creative. Marianne's headpiece is a combination ancient Egyptian headpiece and something like the crowns the royal female Russians wore circa the 1800s until the end of the Romanovs. Bowie's outfit is simply awesome.

    I have been watching bootleg videos of this and other Bowies videos from this particular show for years and most with a lot of quality flaws or missing spots but was happy to see them and could live with them! ...But finally, it's so great to start seeing very high-quality original TMS videos here on "The Midnight Special" channel from Bowie's 1980 Floor Show that aired back in 1973 and I remember it like it was yesterday! ...I sure hope eventually the whole show will be shown in its entirety! ...As there was nothing else ever like it ever since as it was almost the end of his Ziggy-Aladdin persona! ...Absolutely Bowie fantastic!
    Thank you Midnight Special for releasing it and the many other shows and artist you have been sharing as I have been praying for many, many, many years for this musical history day to come from you!

      ​@@TonyGPizza this is from November 1973 and Blazing Saddles came out in February 1974. Brooks was likely done filming and it was in post-production by the time Marianne and Bowie sang this duet. Was Marianne channeling Marlene? Perhaps. Madeline Kahn absolutely was, the whole character of Lili Von Shtupp was a parody of Marlene.

The TV people didn't want to air that, so there's no shots of that provided here, haha.
