This is a man who truly lived every day, even when he was doing things that were so bad for him. My God. The privilege of saying we knew OF him, heard and saw him perform, even if only on TV/movies/records, etc., is something that makes my life better. This is a remarkable performance.
Ah, well. I wasn't there at this piece of history. I was 20. A serious fan. I thought the tickets were too expensive. There's a lesson for you kids...Sod the expense. These moments are priceless! I've regretted it ever since. I saw Louise at The South Bank a year or so ago. She's still sensational. Look back in...regret...I've had a few...
David Bowie is so graceful and smooth in his movements on this video when he walks across the stage, when he does that dip down so that she can jump over him, himself lifting up, then the stroll off the stage he slips his arm around her to bring her back on the stage with the dance. The others are good dancers but there’s not the gliding of movement that David Bowie has
I managed to get a £12 ticket - they sold a few standing room only tickets right at the back of the top circle. The whole evening was magical - it was a benefit concert for the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and there was some other acts on - Woodentops and the Kronos String Quartet spring to mind - but everyone was there for Bowie. I believe it was his only performance in 1988. Between each set they played Arvo Part and Gorecki - composers who at the time weren't well known. Totally magical. Bowie finally came on at the end of the evening for just 10 minutes - 10 minutes that was visually and sonically stunning - a real chill down the spine moment that I'll never forget.
Not the only one - cheap at the price. Skipped the end of term at boarding school to see seven minutes off bliss. The tension throughout the night (not just whether I could catch the last tube back to school) was amazing - is he here or not - one of the best moments.
I still have all this on VHS and even tried to get tickets for the ICA performance ...... Bowie reclaimed his creative place in the universe with this project I think.....
Another awesome Bowie gig I enjoyed from the front row..... heavenly and beautifully performed by both David and Louise. Met some cool Bowie lovers in the pub before too - who else was there?
I do remember when Louise was talking about doing that show, for her it was like surreal. La La La Human Steps were innovative at that time and David Bowie was coming often in Montréal and I think he discovered them when he came. Louise is more than a dancer she's an athlete, look at her body. The guy who dance with her is not a dancer anymore, he's a comedian. His name is Marc Béland
Wow - lucky you - I thought about 18-20 times was a lot looking back from Diamond dogs to Reality - but ur def ahead of me. Always a event not just a concert, just ppl watching was fun - see how many different personas you could count in the crowd Ziggys , halloween jacks , thin white dukes etc
Un beau duo! Je leur trouvait une certaine ressemblançe... visages pâles, étroits, lèvres minces et bien sûr l'audace et l'originalité. Présences de scène. Ça devait être difficile pour la danseuse de ne pas tomber sur le charme de Bowie.
I agree. But, as you see in the very start of the video, Bowie was NOT the choreographer. The choreographer first speaks at about 1 minute into the video...
A very special night for me for many reasons. Not least as this signaled the end of his 'Phil Collins' years. The Woodentops in support were extraordinary. Rolo McGinty, I'm still jealous and still in awe.
All dancers know it's true.. you spend your life abusing your body to make someone else look good... LaLa!! you couldn't have done it for a better frontman !!! OMG I'd give my eye teeth to be La La in this moment/tour!!! My middle name is Louise... I SO LOVE Bowie!! ...and i'm SO GREEN with envy--the woulda/shoulda/coulda of my days in dance class.. LALALA!!!! you got what some of us only dream of.. and you sweatted ALL YOUR LIFE to be THAT GOOD!!! I SEE IT!!! I'm not sure how many others do....
Basically this is the kind of stuff St Vincent would love to do... But she hasn't got a song like Look back in Anger in her repertoire...nor anything remotely close even 🙂 Complicated is only cool when based upon real talent, not just posing.
Here for Louise Le Cavalier!My hero and an inspiration to this day! Could't stand Bowie. Do you really like this derivative song? Overrated with a big R

Louise moves like a trained panther, those mid air rolls over David’s back, amazing 😱💯
There was no end to David Bowie's talent...He learned the steps to this piece so quickly...
I would never thought you can actually dance the song. Very creative.
He's so beautiful. I love seeing him dance with Louise. I didn't know her name until recently. Awesome performance. Thank you for posting.
Poetry.
Two wonderful artists together
I was there, fantastic to see him back to form
God the black suit w no shirt inside and that tan...he looked wonderful

Love the shot towards the end with David looking down on them!!!

Louise Lecavalier is a phenomenal dancer and Bowie is a GOD!
David Bowie reinvents his performances and everything he does is unique, new and better each time.

Never to be duplicated.
Beautiful talented people.
Completely, utterly Astonishing on every level. I need More...!
“I first saw them performing Human Sex….. one of their dance pieces.”
Louise Lecavalier also performed at the Yellow shark...absolutely stunning
Is there anything he didnt try? Always pushing the ticket and doing it all! Impressive choreography even by today's standards.
I agree.

I SO LOVE Bowie!!

Alice Wonder bb
fantastic ~
Music in the beginning reminds me of the movie "The fountain" Xibalba.
It's amazing how his partner lifts him up. She must be pretty strong.
Words fail!
You know who I am he said!
Some of the movements look like Ryan Heffington,s choreographed Channel no.5 commercial of October 2020.
This is very interesting
after watching this I wish that I was there but I was only 12
10:58 Wow !
So Bowie still had the mullet in 1988.
he had it _again_ - in 1987-88 :)
Where was this?
