RIP DAVID! You may have been over 50 when you did this concert!... but you were amazing!..still in your Prime, love your voice, and that smile... Rest in peace fella!
David Bowie was one of the rarest kind of artists that despite the nearly 2 decades that spanned since he wrote "This is not America" that his voice has the same intensity and rhythm as the day he first sang it. So many artists have to rewrite their songs to reflect their age, not Bowie, he sang the song with the same passion as he did when he wrote it with Pat Metheney. RIP David, a true visionary gone too soon.
Absolute beginner... il povero principiante... canzone straordinaria, non ho parole, musica, arrangiamenti, testi, voce... l'assolo finale di pianoforte .... siamo a livelli altissimi, di eccellenza assoluta della musica mondiale
As a musician and singer (so so so far from him...) , I can tell you how this live is a perfection. Obviously I 'm not talking about wrong notes , there is none ;-). But above all, it's this ability to keep the emotion and intensity to the climax ! This is truly a remarkable performance. I could be wrong, but at 8'30", David Bowie seems to talk to someone (gone?), and the following sentence is full of an incredible emotion ! Look at his face, and listen to his voice at this time, the intensity is really huge... But everything stays under "control" ! What could we say ? What a talent, so gifted but so humble too ! That's the whole difference...
I have always heared about(and thought he's one of the greats)David Bowie,as far back as i can remember-and this perfomance is almost something sacred over...)..Absolutely beautiful!..And we will never see the likes of him again,ever-may he Rest In Peace..(...
A little piece of me died when this legend passed away. I still can't bear it. For so many of us he was the soundtrack to our lives. At just over a year after his passing, I want to remember David Bowie and celebrate his life.
non mi stanco mai di guardarlo è magico ti prende l anima tutto è meraviglosamente bello affascinante sensuale dotato di uno stile e di una classe ineguagliabile solo chi ha molto dentro può averla ciao david forrrrrrrrrrrr everrrrrrrr
I was so sad with tears in my eyes when I heard David Bowie died. I grew up listening 🎶 to his music. Love this song with Pat Metheny. Incredible in 2024!
+veganath Not a chance. For me lately, the thought of expartriation seems quite appetizing. It sickens me to watch us fall; (and we WILL fall) I'm not sure if I can handle that at this point.
+xtc1957 - It sickens me too where we are headed, think we're over the tipping point. This was a marvelous performance...but it always was. Saw him in concert back in the late '80s, every note perfect.
A towering song (absolutely) - raising the question and explaining WHY there is no answer. Complete acceptance of the difficult truth (you can't change youself). He does have a head start in being comfortable in your skin - which he clearly does (in his). And what a voice live..
lui era una stella caduta dal cielo un angelo ora è tornato da dove è venuto ciao david continua a cantare nel cielo prima o poi ci incontreremo almeno lo spero
What a great song to be fall in love. But it sucks that if this one reminds you a person you have lost and you know she ain't coming back and whenever hear the opening notes of this it takes you back to the memory lane and relive the love all over again. What a naive but powerful song.
Two of my top 10 Bowie tracks back to back. I love everything about this performance and the musical arrangement of Absolute Beginners is special -- as is DB's smile and satisfaction with the band and the performance.
This is david getting better and better and enjoying his he did just get better and better best artist ever .how can you not enjoy absolute beginners what a rendition . 100% the best.
This song speaks to me very strongly. My family had fled to America in the early 20th century for their survival and that of their children. We are survivors of the Holocaust because we were one step ahead of the Haters. For me, America was a sanctuary--and should continue to be one. Even now, more than ever, Sanctuary is desperately needed.
awesome! . david bowie you are real talent . theres no one quite like u .we were all blessed by your presence . of such uniqueness . endless talent .im trully gutted to what u happen to u so sad. may u rest in peace u lovely man. rip my friend .
Para aqueles que adoram clássicos, especialmente para o grande Marcelo de Assis, mais um inglês que faz-me viajar no tempo, voltando para ano de 83/84 andando por SP, julho de 84... Abraços aos oitentistas !!!
agreed veganath! RIP BROTHER THE ENTIRE EARTH WITH NEVER RECOVER FROM YOUR LOSS BUT WILL NEVER LOSE YOUR ESSENCE WITHIN US ALL! THANK YOU GREAT SIR FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH THE EARTH! GOD SPEED SWEET MAN!
RIP DAVID! You may have been over 50 when you did this concert!... but you were amazing!..still in your Prime, love your voice, and that smile... Rest in peace fella!
A Lord of elegance, talent and charisma! RIP Starman! We always lov.U!
Absolute Beginners is one of the most beautiful songs in pop music history
Such a great into.
Garson is a very pianist & brings this love song 2 a true romantic eclipse.
Miss you, beautiful Bowie. You was a complet artist. How can God create a man so special?😪
I love this performance and watch this often
He's so adorable in the introduction, the laugh, and the acknowledgement of the eighties... This is gorgeous!

Bowie's masterpieces such as "This is Not America" are brilliant and timeless!

He's a British icon.

I was so sad with tears in my eyes when I heard David Bowie died. I grew up listening 🎶 to his music. Love this song with Pat Metheny. Incredible in 2024!
David Bowie....you were a creative genius! You will be sorely missed by all!!! RIP
Danke für das was du uns hinterlassen hast❤Deine Musik. !☆☆☆Ein Licht für David.
RIP David.... If only America would heed David's consternation about the direction it is taking....

xtc1957
I'm an expat from Australia, David's song could easily be entitled "This is not Australia"
+xtc1957 - It sickens me too where we are headed, think we're over the tipping point. This was a marvelous performance...but it always was. Saw him in concert back in the late '80s, every note perfect.
+veganath We're about to change our direction. Feel the Bern!
yep.
Fantástico, voz magnífica eterno David Bowie., que as novas gerações saibam curtir.
92 e AMO o Bowie!!!!!!!
A towering song (absolutely) - raising the question and explaining WHY there is no answer. Complete acceptance of the difficult truth (you can't change youself). He does have a head start in being comfortable in your skin - which he clearly does (in his). And what a voice live..
legend. a rock gentleman. our lord of rock.
From Germany, Berlin: I will miss him so much .
So deeply grateful for Al your music and performance you where out of this world
lui era una stella caduta dal cielo un angelo ora è tornato da dove è venuto ciao david continua a cantare nel cielo prima o poi ci incontreremo almeno lo spero

I think we should all contact the bbc to get this released on DVD & blu ray

True artist!
Legend
Sweden fan 4 ever…..
:(
( RIP Sir David )
I rarely care about celebs but this hit me hard. I saw him in concert and was blown away. I will truly miss him and his music.

I think I am stuck in the youth music. I like lets say 200 new songs in the past 16 years. Devastating. The music I come back to is the old music.
classic...Peace Be Upon You David...I thank Allah for Blessing US With Your Presents In My Lifetime....Alhumdalah
R.I.P Mr.David Bowie Your music live´s 4ever
gracias David¡¡¡ por tus canciones¡¡
David, ahora estas junto a las estrellas, en realidad siempre fuiste una de ellas...
love his voice soo much...
"Shala la la la..." grande Bowie, y seguirás siéndolo allí donde estés.
Thanks to David Bowie for all this beautiful music 😔❤️🌹
This performance is just exquisite. Definitive performances of these two songs and also of "Wild Is the Wind" and "Little Wonder".
Live version -better than studio's - backing vocals r wonderful
+Queensland Sailingboat The backing vocals look awesome.
+Queensland Sailingboat agreed.
adios
+Queensland Sailingboat I tend to disagree but the live version is still done quite well.
+Queensland Sailingboat Studio version with backing vocals were also good
The studio version remixed into the 8min version is my favourite...I feel it needs to be that long. I think it's unofficial but done very well
I always love this man....he has insight and talents
Always loved davids music ... peace b w u m f...
I am back in 80's....., thank you David :)
Grande David, grande perda...
Merci pour ce moment toujours aussi émouvant malgré les années qui passent…
I love you forever Mr. Bowie ♥♪♫
Ha! Music at its best..sadĺy David's gone...but we have his music.... wiĺl always be remembered.
Maestro * we miss You dearly *
