Sad that I know what I do now. I love Bowie's music but I see right through him today. I saw this concert LIVE back in the '80s and it ROCKED --- of course. He's still made some of the best tunes I'll ever hear in my lifetime, I just can't watch him anymore. 😢 PS - SAVE THE CHILDREN!
I remember seeing this for the first time back in 1987....And I gained a whole newfound respect for David Bowie.I thought this stage performance was just extremely fun!
I saw him in Charlotte, NC about that same time and I too, gained a whole new respect for David Bowie. I cried when he descended from the ceiling and lowered himself down the spider legs. It was very dramatic, very fun and one of the best live performances I ever experienced!
@@craiglewis6145 I lived five minutes walk from one of the gigs. Weird having lunch and then literally walking down the street to go and see Bowie. Only went as I am a fan of Frampton but I enjoyed it and so pleased that I went.
I was lucky to see him on his Reality tour. Lately, I've been buying all the albums I didn't have prior. Reality was one of them. Such a great rock n roll album. One of his best from his later years. I'm so happy I got to see him.
I'm a Detroit guy. Bowie morphed into his Thin White Duke persona and want to play smaller venues for longer runs. He played 7 nights in a row in Detroit, I was only there for 6.
This is an Iggy Pop song. As David Bowie said, one of his best. David arranged it for the stage and sang it brilliantly. Iggy Pop does not have these high-lows variations to his voice, he's more of a rock punk interpreter.
Victor Manoela! My favorite of Bowie's dancers! Can't describe his style. No definition to describe him. He's just everything! When Bowie first spotted him he said: "That's the one! I want him on my stage." And the rest is history... Victor is the one with the ponytail. He's not a woman as people assume. He's just Victor. ❤️ Love the "signing " he and Bowie do in "Absolute Beginners." "Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!" ( Just a cool little thing Bowie shouted from somewhere offstage. 😁)
I remember watching this first time on the Glass Spider vhs and I was totally fooled until 02:56 ! To this day it remains a favourite of mine. What a showman ! I never even bought any Bowie albums but I do love this concert video.
The reason for David Bowie's character not being able to touch the crowd and being pulled by his handlers, aka dancers is commentary on the rock n roll life, and how rock artist and artist's in general aren't allowed to associate with the real world, or the plebians, because it would look bad for their image. They have to be perceived as roll n roll stars, later on in the concert and within the songs they speak about this concept. The beginning to Absolute Beginners of this very live show, he's having a discussion with his dancers , which represents his inner circle pseudo "handlers" In which they proclaim " We can't have rock stars cross breeding with normal people!" This entire show is based on the realities of hollywood, American way of life, rock n roll, image, and David's multi-layered process and commentary of whats going on in day to day life when it comes to love, where you come from, where youre going. Its like a masterclass in theater, music, and journalism hitting you in 50000 mph in the face.
@jtaka3710 i know it just a stage performance but still so lucky im so glade i got to meet him and am going to see him next weekend ;) ;D and are you a big bowie fan
I seen him in Wellington New Zealand. one word described the concert AWESOME!!!!! I me t him when I was 18 at the US festival even back then I was speechless. I was speechless at he concert too. One of the greatest....I will keep his music flowing long after I am dead and gone. It will be passed down to my children and theirs.

The woman he pulled from the audience is actress dancer Melissa Hurley Bowies girlfriend 87-90. What a showman!
He took her to dinner at least once, caught in Little Italy in Baltimore.
They were engaged. Before he met Iman.

Okay, what do you know that I obviously don’t!?
@@NicholeOlive Trust me when I say "Ignorance is Bliss" my friend.
This sounds so much better than the album version, has such a band feel, no programmed drums.

Eu também comecei admirar ele depois dessa apresentação. 🇧🇷
I will always regret not going to see him live when I had the chance. One of the very best of our generation.
I was lucky enough to see this tour in 87. One of the best gigs I've been to and it was a glorious, memorable day.

Great Iggy Pop song.Bowie saved Iggy from bankruptcy by recording this song along with China Girl!
Watching in 2024 because we asked for his love and he gave us a dangerous mind.
Bowie is a genius and made a lot of great stuff. This might be his best!
Lol sarcasm?

How could anyone dislike this?? lol
Absolute love!
Forget the Ziggy stuff..Its performance's like this Bowie was put on this planet for..pure class!!
What a showman. No ego

Diana Ross must have ignored all that nonsense. She always interacts with her fans
Love 💕💕😍😍
she is the luckest girl she is so luck
i think this genre of album is new wave, not only hard rock
The one time I saw him was on this tour. But I was in a nosebleed seat.
And Siouxie and the Banshees opened.
love it, awesome

Quel talent !
I may not be gay myself, but my 👑 and hero was surely the most hansomist dude in the world. 😘 🙇 🌟 👨 🎸 😮.😊❤.
Am I the only one disappointed because he couldn't touch his fans?
No!

I got mine.
Sin desmerecer al gran Bowie, prefiero la interpretación de Iggy pop.
This is when everything went wrong.
