David Bowie Quicksand Live Port Chester '97

[@donnacollis6014]

As a young 11 year old girl I would put on Hunky Dory which was my brothers album.. Sit in the dark with just the gasfure on and listen to this song over and over along with Bewley.. My parents had split up and I cannot explain how much comfort this gave me.. Made me feel there was something more out there and it was really OK to be different.. God bless you David.. Thankyou for everything the world is not the same without you.. Love you forever x

[@fullthrottlealways]

I was a 14 year old boy and I would listen alone to the entire album over and over and over on my record player. Bewley Brothers was my all time favorite but this song was my tonic. It took on a sort of religious quality for me. I always thought the lyrics were only for me and my foreboding depression but it sounds as if I have a celestial sister out there. I hadn’t heard this version of it till now and after I read your words, my eyes moistened a little.

[@wpollock1]

My first Bowie album back when it first came out. Always loved this song and I was so happy that Bowie went back to singing this at the time. Great comment! Really powerful.

[@nikolausbuchholz2404]

RIGHT!

[@joethelion6016]

Wonderful. Similar thing here, as a young girl in 1971 I bought 'Life on Mars' single when I was 10, then I saved up for the LP. I've loved him for 50 years 🖤💙🖤

[@EixtremeDrummer]

One of the best live versions of Quicksand, one of the best songs ever. This man had an incredible creativity.

[@vaniaferreira6065]

[@elianam.esteves2161]

Tudo que ele escreve é lindo💫💛💫

[@nelvonnore3053]

what the heck hole are you talking about? I've been wishing, hoping and praying and searching regularly for a live version of Quicksand. That and Lady Grinning Soul are my top favorites of his...I had it all in my head that god might actually exist when I stumbled upon this tonight...and you're all, casually, yeah it's one of his better live takes on Quicksand and I'm all 0_*

[@realityczechplease]

I'm a 43 year old man crying like a baby at this. Simply floored by his performance.

[@stuartmackinnon3063]

+realityczechplease 48 year old here, doing exactly the same. Glad it's not just me!

[@Paulo-zu7gg]

You're not alone...53 Man - four nights ago - All the Young Dudes at IOW Festival, Time and I Wanna Be Your Dog from Glass Spider...cry like a baby too

[@donnyposey5179]

"Scream Like A Baby"- Scary Monsters

[@losgheckos]

realityczechplease .. I saw him on this tour, this is what he opened up with

[@waynenorthspacebuoy3529]

So Fab ... I'm inspired by David so I tried a YT original ... Space Boy - Maggie is hurting me ... I'm so grateful.

[@donnyposey5179]

Hunky Dory is a wonderful album. He really gets you with that one.

[@scotts1833]

I guess it's my favorite. Bit really?

[@thevoid99]

it's my all-time favorite bowie album though it changes all the time. it can be "aladdin sane" one day or "low" or "scary monsters" or "outside" or "blackstar". he's made so many great albums.

[@Midnightriding]

I'm not a prophet or a stone age man Just a mortal with the potential of a superman Rest easy, Mr. Bowie.

[@MichaelNavidJampour]

im living on!

[@evangelina575]

I love that

[@DaveSCameron]

Beautiful comment ❤

[@bec9255]

Bowie, even in sandals he was cool. My favourite Bowie tune. The master. RIP.

[@anthonydarby3973]

HUNKY DORY, my very first Bowie album I got, for my tenth birthday, that was 52 years ago and still playing his beautiful music today full blast in my car. ❤

[@711honved]

One of the finest songs Bowie wrote, from a period when his creativity was just off the scale!

[@danahodgson7478]

One of my all time favorite Bowie songs. I miss you David Bowie. The world misses you.❤

[@san_vecorta]

David... how much we're missing you in this shitty world..

[@pearlsnjasmine]

it's up to us to make it better. we can do it! but it does kind of feel like we've lost our guiding star, no? : (

[@flyboy2196]

"Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release" Beautiful lyrics. Rest in peace David. You meant a great deal to us all.

[@davidfoster-smith4676]

Another simple way to remember this great unique artist

[@clubmogambo3214]

Always thought this was Bowie's most beautiful song. Great to see him perform it in this particular manner.

[@preciousdevere288]

I'm so thankful to have lived in the time of Bowie!!!!!!

[@simonmoglie4518]

I am stunned at bowies performance of this classic he drools emotion and it hits you hard right in the guts. I'm a 60 year old man streaming tears. Absolutely beautiful, just stunning! Thank you for uploading this and RIP Major, you left us much too early. My heartfelt thanks.

[@richardbanker3910]

Stunning performance of this song by David Bowie and he plays nice resonant guitar to back it

[@bottomline1644]

beautiful song, beautiful man. RIP

[@akablackcatwhitecat]

God, this is fantastic....

[@ThefightingCelt]

I grew up listening to Bowie from 1969 onwards - bought all his early albums and some later ones. I remember Roger Daltrey introducing him on Top Of The Tops " the Guvnor " Quite simply, the greatest, most talented, most erudite, most diverse, pop/rock solo artist ever.

[@stephenyoung4668]

What a star.what a song.what a man.wonderfull .thank you x

[@michaelaclark2147]

What a man

[@Cygone1]

We were there. What a night. Thanks MTV fior the tickets... for being a great media client!

I miss the man. You can't know how much I owe to you my guy. RIP

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

Chills and tears. David, how we miss you 💕

[@tonywords6713]

Cool to hear him sing this in his lower register

[@teebeeformeg]

Brilliant songwriting ............. definitely my favourite Bowie song ♥♥

[@Cosmogirl014]

12 string thoughts... beautiful David as always

[@gotohoward]

absolutely one of my favorite songs of Bowie. I was just a young teen, and I can't tell you in words how much of an impression he made with me. Listening many years later has a similar cathartic effect.

[@martydixon647]

David, you will forever be livin' on, in our hearts ... 💕🎵🌈

[@danahodgson7478]

One of the greatest songs ever written. "Torn between the light and dark" indeed...

[@karldobson5961]

Amazing best track he ever did

Knowledge comes in deaths release , baby... hymn inspired. Beauty, vocally, lyrically, just beautiful.

[@nilouf]

He shines on even after he's gone

[@ElenaWoontner]

Extraordinary song. Grateful for this version.

[@bionicbigfoot2790]

Never forget what a talented musician David Bowie was. He played that 12-string acoustic for 40-plus years. What a singularly unique talent. The planet is less for his leaving. Thank you, Starman.

[@jensillum]

Superman Bowie, stunning in every way, such a great song.

[@Growler57]

As they lower me down I want this playing

[@craighudson7294]

It will be soon for me. Knowledge comes with Death's release.

[@kresocaren2007]

I was like crazy when he did this one on concert....always one of his best tunes.....

[@tabascocats1]

MASTERPIECE!!!!

[@Goatchild90]

2 days before my 7th birthday one of my heroes sings my favourite song he's ever written and recorded and I would never know until now

[@markcoombs5992]

Saw this live at Rock City in my home town of Nottingham. Simple gig back in '97, but simply the best of the 5 times I have been lucky enough to see Bowie perform live. Thank you for posting.

[@grahamharper8114]

Bowie = Genius.

[@lifemelon]

5 years without him 💔

[@qqq2276]

One of my favorite chord progressions ever, and it's such a joy to play as well

LYRICS [Verse 1] I'm closer to the Golden Dawn Immersed in Crowley's uniform Of imagery I'm living in a silent film Portraying Himmler's sacred realm Of dream reality I'm frightened by the total goal Drawing to the ragged hole And I ain't got the power anymore No I ain't got the power anymore [Verse 2] I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes Living proof of Churchill's lies I'm destiny I'm torn between the light and dark Where others see their targets Divine symmetry Should I kiss the viper's fang Or herald loud the death of Man I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore [Chorus] Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release [Verse 3] I'm not a prophet or a stone age man Just a mortal with potential of a superman I'm living on I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien Can't take my eyes from the great salvation Of bullshit faith If I don't explain what you ought to know You can tell me all about it On the next Bardo I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore [Chorus] Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release

[@MrMAHBOI1]

one day after i was born. best birthday song ever. if you can call it that.

[@Jewelvonmayhem]

It's gotta be this song, After All and Heroes as his greatest compositions. But there are so many more..

[@lilytenshoes]

I saw Bowie perform Quicksand acapella on the Serious Moonlight tour. He seemed so vulnerable., spiritually naked.Twenty thousand people held silent. Towards the end if the concert, David motioned to the trees on the set (some of which were the worse for wear) and said "Isn't God wonderful?"

[@신준영Shin]

ohh it's such rare information. where and when the gig was held?

[@lilytenshoes]

@신준영 Ooops. It was A Reality Tour not Serious Moonlight. Sorry about that. The concert I attended was in Ottawa, Canada, at the Corel Centre (now the Canadian Tire Centre) on April 2, 2004.

[@신준영Shin]

@@lilytenshoes Ah! Quicksand is a regular in Reality Tour. it'll be happy to listening it on acapella besides. thanks for giving me the information!

[@niccymak8243]

Hunky Dory was his songwriting peak. Later albums sometimes no longer even had strong songs, though he still made them work with good collabotators.

[@foxmfilms]

he didn't sing this one live too often after a certain date. I think it was always just an extremely vulnerable song for him

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

Guessing

[@MegaSickcat]

I was there as a guest of his...
