Mick Ronson was a beast of a guitarist! RIP to one of the best of the best!
And of course he blew out a string! What a masterful and tragically underrated guitarist. He became a fantastic sound engineer as well. Cheers Mick!
Love Mick Ronson
Trippy he was no longer with the band on Diamond Dogs
David Bowie lead guitar on Rebel Rebel
Super underrated
rickcanon7766 the Spiders from Mars put out an album without Bowie.. not a fan of the writing but Mick absolutely let's go and shreds all over it
One of the most underappreciated definitely most awesome!
Man, Mick Ronson was a great sideman, among other things. He could sing perfect harmony, sounding like a second Bowie. He had looks, style, and charisma. A legend who will never be forgotten, and we are poorer for having lost him far too early. Rest in Peace, Love, and Rock Roll Music, Michael.
He’s also a great singer,had personal albums himself
I saw this when it aired!Most people were not ready for this, but as a young teen I WAS, and influenced my life in a major way. Thanks David!
Ditto!! Me too!!!! 👨🏻🎤⚡️
That’s a declaration
Show us how it's
done Bowie
I saw this performance as well
Ziggy Stardust was always my favorite David Bowie period, he and Mick Ronson had a great chemistry, the whole band had a great look. I was around 14 in 73 and remember thinking "wow, what's this" when I saw a news segment on him ( people were freaked out about him a little) for an upcoming show at the LA Forum in S Cal. Wished it would have lasted a little longer.
The Midnight Special and In Concert and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert showcased the top talent in the 70’s. All terrific, especially this Bowie performance. Vintage Bowie
These are the days when the bands could play high as the stars, LIVE, no autotune, on TV really live!!! By far the best times!!!
Auto tune is for losers
Indeed
I was lucky enough to see Bowie in 1974 on the Diamond Dogs tour. Mind blown 🤯
Be careful someone might correct you saying this is not Bowie but Ziggy tssssss
This is pretty bad ass . Jammin down and looking freaky! Even in 2023! Rock on people!
My favorite album. Hands down. Bowie was a Gift.
50 years old, this year of 2023. Still sounds great.
Grateful these performances are available on RUclips!
He was definitely from another planet
England..
A space oddity
not sure what planet he's from but I'm fairly certain he would've loved exploring uranus... and if that isn't worth a rim shot then I don't know my a** from a hole in the ground...
There is no body like this man. He was the original.
Wow this is killer. I can’t believe a show of this quality existed on TV. Can’t beat the 70s for music.
Yep….I am 69 and watched this every Saturday night it was on. Yes, killer music back then.
You never saw 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' then?
A million times better than this
Who cares
@@roberturibe3150 grow up with that nonsense
@@charliekane135Perhaps you’re a Brit, of course you would think it’s better.
I was one year out of high school and this music was the soundtrack to my coming of age. loved the Midnight Special, they had lots of great guests. Rock On!
Great performer....great song.....miss him.
Just want to say Thank You Midnight Special. Watching these clips really makes me both miss and appreciate how much your show shaped my life growing up. It really is too bad that shows like this don't exist anymore to showcase music. Especially live performances. It really was a magically time growing up in the 1970s and early 80s.
My favorite Bowie rocker... Mick Ronson's guitar has such a great growl... a little respect to Howlin' Wolf
Hard core talent on that stage. Amazing!
RIP David Bowie
RIP Mick Ronson
This is from "The 1980 Floor Show" filmed in England in October 1973 and broadcast on The Midnight Special on November 16, 1973.
So Mr. Sugarman acquired the rights !😏
@@massapower according to Angela Bowie's book "Backstage Passes" - David reluctantly agreed to do the Midnight Special - but only as a "Sonny & Cher variety hour" type program with the understanding that his wife Angela would be cast as Wonder Woman in the upcoming TV series. Angela as Wonder Woman fell through, but Bowie and the remaining two Spiders from Mars (Ziggy had famously disbanded the group in July 1973) went through with it and filmed the oddly-titled "1980 Floor Show".
Bowie's outfit on this one is mad cap. Brilliant!
This performance is so far ahead of it's time in so many ways.
Back in the early 70s, I used to live in Artesia, New Mexico. That is where the movie The Man Who Fell To Earth was filmed....I was not sure who David Bowie was, but I remember the excitement in the town. Cool movie......
I’m originally from NM. Several scenes were also filmed near Fenton Lake, and in downtown Albuquerque. I haven’t been to Artesia in ages. Need to see that movie again!
We actually went to the movies and saw TheMan Who Fell to Earth . Pretty strange from what I remember which isn’t much it was the seventies after all 😎
Bowie was like "I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it."
I can draw a line from the Thin White Duke right to Harry Styles.
I am going to have to steal your stolen line. Fits even better there, than in the movie.
Haha-they said that in back to the future
Marty Bowie McFly
Who could have guessed that this costume would be a museum piece 50 years later...
Beyond the theatrics, just great rock n' roll.
Good God, how raw. This is pure treasure
It's a great guitarist who can break a string and create a new solo on the spot.
Like that time Stevie Ray Vaughn broke his string on Austin City Limits!
I LOVE THE 70'S!!!!!!! Historical clip!!!!!
Being 20 in the 70's was so much better than being 70 in the 20's. ✌️

It's so refreshing to see a concert video without a bunch of arms and phones sticking up in the air.
No phones maybe, but I did see a bunch of arms. Or hands, at least.
Lol, ok Boomer.
Looked like Bowie had four arms .
Yeah,no phones but lots and lots of cigarette smoke
I totally agree!!👍😉
The best thing ever to happen to British music in it's day god bless MR BOWIE RIP 💝
Its all about the art baby. Bowie kept growing and changing and his fans were rt there w him. Miss you Mr Jones!
YUGE part of my youth. SOOO fortunate to have grown up then.
What an interesting and singularly unique, creative, iconic Being he was. I didn't truly appreciate him until he was gone.
There will never be another like him. ❤
Thought that was the amazing Aynsley Dunbar on drums. Huge fan of all his work, but especially on Jefferson Airplane's 'Jane' because I was a beginning drummer at the time in my early teens and had to learn that amazing song and Aynsley's drumming.
I think is Andy Newmark.
Jane what a great tune!
Legendary drummer.Jeff Beck Group,Frank Zappa and The Mothers,Nils Lofgren,Journey etc.Lost out on playing with Jimi Hendrix in a coin toss. Fab clip !
@@greatgooglymoogly I just wrote that on another comment! It's crazy to think Ansley could have been w Hendrix. I wonder how Manic Depression would have sounded w Ansley.
@@ofilipequintans It's not.
At some point, they'll need to release the whole show and not break it up into clips ... the picture is stunning the best I've seen Kudos
Definitely the best quality I’ve seen too.
Wow !!!! Only ever be one BOWIE ,,,, saw him Ziggy tour and Station to Station ,,,,,, nobody could ever change so many people s lives and still retain so much CHARISMA on stage. TRUE GENIUS AND WITH RONSON SCREAMING HIS GUITAR 🎸 …,, enough said !!!!! Gxx
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!
I saw this amazing show on TV. I saw this amazing costume up close in 2015 at the David Bowie Is exhibit.
Yes, saw the costume too at the last showing of the Bowie Exhibit in Brooklyn
@@mis4nthr0p3 it was amazing to look at his things up close.
@@lotstodo The whole exhibit was amazing. Made me sad for his passing though.
@mis4nthr0p3 I saw in November before he passed. It would have been so hard to see it afterward. I wonder if they will ever open it up again? I flew to Chicago to see it, because it wasn't coming to Los Angeles. I'm kind of glad because the LA fans could be such jerks.
Incredible!
Ese público era de plástico,ver ese show a pocos metros y no saltar , bailar,delirar ,era un desproposito,el rock,la moda el arte y la música música te mantendran presente.😢😢
rest in peace David, and all who make my life bearable with great music. as a preteen running home or to friends houses to catch the midnight special was always the highlight of a musical week.
Danke. Für. Die. PERFORMANCE
back in those days David put on a great show
Awesome... legend
64 Bowie fan forever and I’ve never seen this.Brilliant!
Incredible.
So cool..miss you major tom..you were truly one of the greats.
The guitar riff is so in your face makes a perfect compliment to David’s voice.....
My man Mick in full Golden God mode!❤❤🙏🙏
I think people today may underestimate the extent to which Bowie affected the whole world’s music scene … a figure perhaps as transformative as Chubby Checkers, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, or The Beatles.
It’s really Bowie mentor and instructor Klaus Nomi that deserves the credit. He’s responsible for all great bands of the 60’s 70’s and 80s. His pen was in every song all of the big bands wrote . Especially Bowie. David Bowie said in almost every interview “ Klaus Nomi is the only reason I’ve achieved success in any way.”He deserves all the credit for Bowie and so many more success. And he reviewed.and ok”d every thing.any of the guys wrote. He trained Bowie on how to play . Randy Rhodes, Jimi James Hendrix,,, all Klaus Nomis pupils. Klaus Nomi was a master. Bowie, the Stone’s,Aerosmith,Kiss , Iron Maiden , even Queen nd the Stones are all his work. His video of his hit Total Eclipse shows his mastery and shows clearly where They all got their style , mannerisms and talent, Especially Bowie
Amen, Bowie created a place for innovation of many genres. He was so ahead of his time musically and personaly.
I saw the original airing of this when I was 11 or twelve. Saying that it blew my mind is not putting a fine enough point in it.
Eyes closed and the music is just as amazing!
The Midnight Special, a permanent fixture in our lives back then loo
It's better with them open 😋
The Best!!! Thanks for sharing! You got a fan here!🎉❤❤🎉
Now that was BADASS!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing!
Thanks!
One of my favorite Bowie songs!
Oh yes, definitely the most creative ROCK STAR ever!!! Just when you thought the boundaries couldn't be pushed anymore!!!
Good ole days!!!!!!
I like how the rhythm section are having their own party out back all dressed in black.
🤩 WOW!
The first song on my tape player, rocking in my datson 120y, of cousre you had to play it on the guitar, drinking beer and every one sing the corus at the party. Good times 40years ago
Good GOD what a BAND!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still remember catching this show the night it aired. I think he performed at least 4 or 5 songs, and the one I thought best was "Time".
The 1980 Floor Show was filmed at London’s famed Marquee Club over the course of three days in October 1973. The mindset with the production was that it was to look futuristic, and as it was Bowie’s first performance since making his ostensible retirement announcement on the stage of the Hammersmith Odeon earlier in the year, there was an obvious intent to make it as memorable as possible. Marianne Faithfull turned up dressed as a nun to perform a duet with Bowie on Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe,” with other guests including Amanda Lear, The Troggs, and Carmen, a Spanish flamenco glam group. Here’s the full set list from the episode:
1984
Dodo
Sorrow (The McCoys cover)
Everything’s Alright (Asaf Avidan & The Mojos cover)
Space Oddity
I Can’t Explain (The Who cover)
Time
The Jean Genie
I Got You Babe (Sonny & Cher cover)
Dodo
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Way way ahead of the pack at the time!!Brilliant!!
David, Mick, Trevor and Woody, the greatest of the great.
Great enjoyed that
i wish David kept this band together for another couple records
There's only 3 Spiders in this,who's the drummer ?
Amazing performance! I love the contrast in style between Bowie and Ronson and the horn players
This was awesome. First time I saw him though was on SNL in 70's. He got me hooked on the show with all the great stars
David you really rocked and killed it on the Midnight Special ❤❤
he and Bowie met in the atmosphere and came as human form their magic is sublime........you hear that music 2024.....!
.. SO SIMPLE MINDS.. ❤❤
Amazing one!!
Miss you David Bowie and Mr Ronson and of course the brilliant Spiders from Mars
Wake me up if something as rock and roll as this ever is on live TV again! Traded up in drummers, added wailing saxophones! Mouthing to the girls. Going nuts with partner in crime Mick Ronson, who's breaking strings and performing rock God guitar antics. Harmonica! The ENERGY!
WOW incredible! And with Aynsley Dunbar on drums..??!!!
When Mick stops playing and puts his arm around Bowie to sing with him made me tear up.
My Love ,my Heart! ❤❤❤ Bowie forever!
It's about time!
Such a one in a million artist
Truly epic.
Wow..Bowie so great..Ronson..busts a string..guitar goes out of tune and they still sound fantastic..
Absolute frigging magic !!
Heroes foreverrrrrrr
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👊👏👍👏
Incredible
Amazing
Aynsley Dunbar ! He’s everywhere with the best, and they know it.
🙏RIP DAVID🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤
I can honestly say i have never seen this before but holy shit this is amazing!
Legendary
GENIUS
I never seen that outfit Bowie is wearing before, it's ace. Perfectly placed hands, on the guitar and the costume top! Who is the backup guitarist? Is it Mark Pritchett ? Woody was gone by then I guess?
yes, it's mark-carr pritchard. on drums is aynsley dunbar who had been in many bands including journey, jefferson starship, and played on the 1987 whitesnake album.
@thevoid99 and Frank Zappa. Ansley actually lost a coin toss that Mitch Mitchell won to be in The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Are you talkin about Ace frehley lol👍⚡⚡
Just Wow !
What a treasure.
Jesus, that is incredible.
Trivia: Originalmente el atuendo de Bowie tenía una tercer mano, en la entrepierna. La televisora pidió que la quitaran. Cuando el atuendo fue exhibido en Bowie Is, efectivamente solo tenía dos manos. La tercera se perdió para siempre...
wow sabes demasiado sobre bowie
donde puedo buscar informacion asi?
That bands on 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never saw this at the time but really what a treat in 2324
Timeless
Aynsley Dunbar on drums fresh from work with Frank Zappa.
He reminds me of Tommy Lee. Meaning, Tommy musta watched & listened to this guy AT LEAST a little bit.
is that Aynsley Dunbar on drums?
🥁⚡️♥️
I know he played on the studio recording of Rebel Rebel. This would’ve been the year before Aynsley Dunbar joined Journey.
