Gail's on rhythm guitar here (which doesn't take away from Darren's point that she's an excellent bassist). This is Mark Plati. Seems the pair of them took it in turns on bass and guitar duties for DB.

Bowie was 52 years of age when he performed this great track. Saw him with Iggy when he played keyboards back in 1977, then on the Serious Moonlight Tour of 1983. A brilliant and mercurial musician who wasn't afraid of change. The body of work DB made throughout the decades remain unparalleled.
@@AndySmithCoachingLeaders Ig was great, the missing link between Jim Morrison and James Brown. Bowie was the consummate musician and slotted in with the rest of the band. Not once did he bring attention to himself. A class act.
A true icon! An artist who could release absolutely excellent material, seminal albums to inspire a new generation. To then reinvent himself and go on to surpass that very generation he inspired. Unbelievable! RIP Bowie
@@no_nameyouknow - well, i'm a 60's child - and was born androgynous and odd; in the days of Farrah, and bullet proof hair - Bowie was my direction and guide in all ways to be an individual; an artist - and to keep doing so unapologetically.

@@alysmarcus7747 That's incredible. Personally, I'm a 2000s baby. I'm gay and non-binary, and Bowie was instrumental in me realizing and accepting my identity. He's inspired my music, my style, my life, really, and I don't know what I would have done without him. It's amazing to see what he's done across generations.
I am lucky to have seen EVERY concert David performed in Australia during his entire career. Yep I'm an old goat. (60) I was lucky to be in law enforcement and get myself on 'stadium security' whenever he toured....free gigs for me! BUT the last I saw I paid for!...was the 'Reality Tour' and he was really at his best, he was amazing, you could see that he was really, really enjoying himself on that tour out of all that I saw before.....I don't know but maybe he knew it was his last tour. IT WAS THE BEST!
It's certainly up there. Dunno if I could ever pick his "best" but having a hit like Space Oddity, then following the story up with something like this, so totally different, 15 years later is nothing short of remarkable. It's true genius
Great song, sure. But it's the use of layering and interesting sounds that grabs you. For beautiful chords, melody, harmony and lyrics look at "Something" by The Beatles as a perfect song. The harmonic shifts are incredible.
No keyboard player has ever been able to replicate the sound of the main line in this song. The studio production applied to this song was just genius.
This is great but I agree, the studio version of that intro is just mind blowing and the louder you crank it up the more spine tingling it is. I adore this song, the whole album is indeed . . another Bowie masterpiece
Thanks to the wonderful RUclips it's all here to peruse, including the original tracks and videos from 1980 ruclips.net/video/CMThz7eQ6K0/видео.html&pp=ygUaYXNoZXMgdG8gYXNoZXMgZGF2aWQgYm93aWU%3D
I never "got" Bowie until after his death. More than a musician, incredible appetite for life. I'm sure he wanted to live forever. Through his music he will.
And he went through many different phases so his albums have so much variety. Bowie is one of the very few true musical geniuses. I would start with his first 4 albums in order: Space Oddity, Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust.
I got Bowie the first time I saw him descend the stage in a glowing planet at Radio City Music Hall in 1972. You could add his production of Raw Power by Iggy Pop and Transformer by Lou Reed around the same time.
I was a teenager when Bowie first appeared on the scene in the 7O's in CA and he blew my mind, I knew he was really something special. I was 14, in the mall, and they had huge pictures of him hanging all over to promote his latest record and to me, really, at that moment in my teenage heart, he was a god.
Bowie, like Prince, were that rare artist whose records and live music were two completely different beasts. You kinda had to experience both to fully appreciate what they were doing. Monsters, both of 'em.
'I would Never Have Any Intention Of Accepting Any thing Like That' that's the quote from Bowie refusing a CBE and a Knighthood. Not only totally inventive in style and music but a true rebel, his peers were writers, musicians and artists NOT royalty. The public's love of his music is what mattered. The Man Who Fell To Earth Earth...RIP David and Thank You.
I was a Beatles fan and when they split,i thought that was it and Bowie came along.What a bloody genius, specially his earlier music up to late 80s.RIP mate and thanks for the sound.One of the greats.
There are two things in my opinion that made Bowie an absolutely unique talent in rock history: 1) Bowie was able to create music that broke conventions and was undeniably strange, yet still hooked you from the first time you heard it. None of the "repeated listens required" stuff you get with the prog rockers of his era, from the first chords you're in. Even a song as weird as Beauty And The Beast (opening track of Heroes) just grabs you immediately and you'll be singing along before the song finishes playing. He made inaccessible music accessible. 2) Through all his reinventions, no matter what persona or style he adopted, from folk, to glam, to punk rock, to new romantic, to industrial and drum 'n bass, to soul and funk, to the jazzy coda to his career that was the phenomenal Blackstar....Bowie ultimately always sounds like Bowie. You'll never hear a Bowie song and think "this is a completely different artist from the guy who did Space Oddity". Listen to a Genesis or Queen song from the 1970s and compare it to their work from the 1990s and they sound like completely different bands. But Bowie always remained Bowie, no matter how drastic the changes to his music were.
@@brendanmccabe8373 ...and also even if we include the REAL early stuff, that would be only 52 years from dawn (Liza Jane) 'till dusk (Blackstar). 1964 -2016, thus 5 decades.
In an interview both backup singers said they had no idea who he was when they came in for the job... seriously tho how can anyone involved with music in and around the year 2000 not know the genius that he is... well was as this point. Gosh dang it I miss him...
David was a worlwide singer...know by Freddy Mercury (Queen), Annie Lennox (Eurythmics)..etc unforgettable . Still listening this music of the 80's . Nothing better has been done so far in this decading world.
I heard this song long ago but to see it actually played live show how incredible and complicated is the interaction between all the instruments. And this bass line, my lord, this BASS LINE!
Never a single day goes past I don’t listen to at least one Bowie track. For me, Heroes remains my all time fave but this song is easy top 3. Absolute genius of a performer, missed so much by so many 😇
4:10 I love how the tech tried to sneak behind the band riser to presumably fix something but right when he sneaks there the camera comes around filming everything that wasn't supposed to be seen 😂
I saw him twice in 74. Diamond Dogs and Soul tours. Then Station tour in 76. Heroes tour in 78. Then playing piano for Iggy on the comeback tour. Golden years, indeed.
He is someone who has always been in my playlist in my 16 year old life there isn't a time I can remember where bowie was in my life in one way or another
I just discovered his music song this year And now i miss him😢. I had heard his heroes song few years ago and it was my fav but didn't Googled the artist and now i regret it

Masterpiece, plain and simple. I will remember till my last day that day when a collegue and friend said to me he've just heard that David Bowie was dead. Couldn't believe him.
I discovered him when I was 15. It was 2008. I’m now almost 27 and I still fall in love with his music everyday. I wish I could see him live at least once in my life. But that will never be possible. Rip David, you’ll always be my greatest inspiration

Without a doubt
Not to mention the true "Most interesting man in the world".
In a few hundred years people will talk about David Bowie like we talk about famous classical composers. A timeless master.
What an incredibly difficult song to pull off so flawlessly live. Genius Bowie!
The song was invented by him! He could have done it live over and over again! Musically and vocally, he knew every tone and rift.
Genius Paul Schaffer as well. One little fuck up and thats it!
@@shawnl2003 Is Paul Schaffer in this band? What's he playing?
Agreed, this song is hard to sing. David perform flawless.

Well said mate
Correct
Word. 🎼
totally one of the most original compositions that test boundaries of what is art and commercial at the same time

Saw him with Iggy when he played keyboards back in 1977, then on the Serious
Moonlight Tour of 1983. A brilliant and mercurial musician who wasn't afraid of
change. The body of work DB made throughout the decades remain unparalleled.
I saw him on keyboards with Iggy too! Manchester FTH I think, or Apollo. The crowd chanted "Bo-wie! Bo-wie!" but I guess Iggy was used to it
@@AndySmithCoachingLeaders Ig was great, the missing link between Jim Morrison

52? Still relatively young. RIP Bowie.
The world is much sadder without Mr. Bowie in it...our starman went home.

You have nailed it! would that we could all do the same
Excellent comment .... hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away.

In these times of total bullshit I miss Him, David Bowie.
I wish I could’ve met Bowie. Or at least saw him live. I didn’t really ‘discover’ his music until like 2012

No keyboard player has ever been able to replicate the sound of the main line in this song. The studio production applied to this song was just genius.
add to that Fripp was just insanely unique and cannot be copied on guitar... Just too much to cover... that record is a masterpiece flat out

@@Andrew_M_Ward fripp did not play in this song

Gail on guitar instead of bass here... what an incredible talent she is.
She played guitar before bass. She filled in for a band on bass and then stayed on bass. But always said her first live is guitar. 😁
You should ask why she doesn't play bass in just one song and that this song, has the best bass line os Bowie's catalog....
@@geno43bom she doesn’t slap. That’s why. 😄
Except the guitar part is fairly dull and easy. Consists mainly of sliding bar chords around. That's hardly 'incredible'.....
Much agreed, but the back up singer are way off pitch for this one. So disappointing for this Bowie masterpiece.
Music from another world… and .. Gail Ann on guitar … amazing ❤❤❤
Miss you man!😔
It's funky. it's from outer space. It's charming. It's special. It's haunting in a good way ;) David Bowie is a gift to the world out of the blue!

It really is isn’t it :)
@@tattooedgirl1000 The song introduced the New Romantic style to the world.

I wondered, she is an amazing bassist and vocalist.
She’s not the only one!
Can relate to that
I really liked when someone slap their bass
But i hated to do the technique myself
