Celebrating David Bowie - Brixton, 8th January 2017 - Lady Grinning Soul

[@tootsiebellevue1298]

Mike is such a sweetheart, praising everyone around him. He is so humble and thoughtful of others, and the way he feels about David is so tangible, a truly beautiful bromance, and we all know how very much he misses him as Mike wears his Bowie heart on his sleeve xx

[@JeffBarkerFLH]

Awesome. This was pretty much the highlight of the show for me - one of my favourite Bowie tracks!! Not afraid to say I was choked up!

[@stevelogan895]

I cried, hearing this song for the first time live - Mike you are a truly beautiful person.

[@CarstenWeise]

One of my all-time Bowie favorites in an amazing interpretation. Wow!

[@CarmelFa]

Absolute highlight of the show, amazing, goosebumps!!

[@ekaterinaf2801]

One of my favorite Bowie song-I miss David’s acid tiny powerful voice ♥️🙏🌟

[@jsmith3980]

Brilliant...many thanks for posting.xx

[@TG-oe8gl]

Love Holly Palmer and David Bowie. Beautiful voice.

[@Geneva8181]

This is one of my all time favourite Bowie songs, and I can't wait to hear Mike and the band play this at Sydney Opera House at the end of January !

[@michaelhamblen4870]

Great song but no one will ever sing it as good as Bowie. His vocals range on this song hit the stratoshere.

[@Velvet0Starship2013]

"Great song but no one will ever sing it as good as Bowie. His vocals range on this song hit the stratoshere." To be fair, there's a big difference between doing a song like this in the studio and on the stage. Try to find a clip of Bowie himself doing this one live...! Laugh

[@redemptivepete]

I think having a female vocalist adds another dimension to this song. I think Bowie would have loved it finding something new in an old song is what art is all about!

[@JeffVolve]

amazing one of the songs of our lives

[@evancampbell9254]

Love you Mike, everyone, and Holly, all so great together but yes of course the obvious singer is absent which never seems to stop hurting. Miss you still DB.

[@miracleshappen4483]

A great song by a great performer!

[@maureenmaureen2217]

I was there… loved every minute x

[@77justluigi]

That piano. marvelous

[@doctorseattle]

This is well done and a favorite of mine

[@radicalgrace866]

Yes very moved. Never performed before, and I was blessed enough to be there.

[@marcosdavid6103]

Thanks for sharing this.

[@nobody85323]

Still Magical

[@erictrehubenko9886]

Outstanding!

[@Nightbrrd]

THE CHILLS!!!!

[@sylvijeffery9752]

Beautiful- Oh that piano! Why didnt David sing this live? LOVE IT and HIM.... Must do this Every Year!! xx

[@madgebienstock8369]

If you're on Facebook, Mark Garson has a page... ALL David Bowie 😊

[@johnnywolf7885]

LOVE IT

[@JollyGraham]

Mike Garson’s career was started by David Bowie but he repaid that by adding so much to his music like this great number.

[@xwsftassell]

Wow. She really brought the Bond Theme out o' that. LOL.

[@stealth1959]

Would make a great Bond movie theme this version or Bowies version

[@TitusMatra]

It's perfect for Bond! I've been listening to this for 30 years and not thought of this obvious fit. Somebody with social media skills needs to promote this idea for a future movie.

[@belgand5555]

Exactly!!

[@janehayes2554]

this is great. thank you for sharing. sorry I am in the wrong london

[@homogenik1]

just perfect

[@miriamchaim2731]

Maravilhoso!🇧🇷😍

[@jadrankapetricevic6638]

Finally !! Since heard Mr Garson s piano at Bowie by Request eager to hear the song live. But still sad.

[@arturofanciulli9617]

Bowie's best Bond song. it has never been, though

[@robertocoppi9937]

The singer is killing the song..

[@rossellaghirlanda5540]

I think in this song David reached his highest note in his vocal range. It is significant that a woman (only) could deal with this

[@kevcatnip7589]

PERFECT

[@AmbraMattioli]

Addirittura in playback il finale... e anche stonata parecchio. Aria!

[@raymondesherman2857]

I l o v e Mike Garson awesome song !!!

superlatives evade me best piano virtuoso I've heard no death but immortality

[@max_kala4ev]

Great

[@nobody85323]

Yes a great event..we all love you..but did anyone take a film crew?..semi pro crew? mobile phone? flashlight?

[@nobody85323]

C’mon Mike get it together you’re already a superstar…..

[@juanestevesociales]

C-R-A-Z-Y. Holly Palmer put fear on me as the Lady of the song.

[@ThomGeigenschrey]

who is the personnel there live on stage ?

[@chopsueykungfu]

The Anna Calvi version is pretty awesome too, but I really like this one.

[@debonweb100]

Mike is totally lovely - couldn't agree more. Don't think this lady did Lady Grinning Sould justice tho imo .... twas ok but a bit screechy towards the end and a bit ott for my liking. Lady Grinning Soul to me was a sweet, gentle, undulating lovesong, sung with raw emotion and a complex simplicity [whatever that is]. Lady Grinning Soul has been my go to song for every emotion since about 1975 and I just didn't like this version is all. Actually I've just seen another comment praising it as "an amazing interpretation". I guess I'm just not open to any other versions. My bad. Each to their own tho I suppose.

[@AALavdas]

Well, the screechy bit has to do with the cheap and nasty recording equipment used - probably the miniature built-in microphone of an amateur camera that just cannot handle the volume, especially in some parts of the sound spectrum. Of course nobody can sing it like Bowie, but she is very good, and she had worked with him in the past...

[@debonweb100]

OK, but - recording equipment aside - I personally didn't totally like this version is all I was really saying. Sorry and all that ........

[@AALavdas]

Sure, I was just talking about the screechy bit! :)

[@musicbybackinnyc1]

awesome,who is she

[@100percentbowie]

Holly Palmer - www.hollypalmer.com/

[@patricionovoa1947]

Cold canasta, cold singer.

[@kevindobson3701]

Who's the singer ?

[@TheRealSamSpedding]

1:44 you're welcome

[@nobody85323]

In fact it sounds like DB lic

[@austinraftery4666]

Hilda Ogden sang this well, also

[@mana3735]

better than this woman.

[@charliebear1436]

Awesome. I thought Holly was fantastic.

[@nobody85323]

Sorry, Mike is the star

[@theresabrill8403]

Nice but not the thin white duke....😥

[@nobody85323]

No way Earl Slick?

[@fryderyknowak1536]

... Mike Garson

[@fryderyknowak1536]

the great,remember

[@QUINT34577]

lovely track ...except for the singing.

[@howardcarlisle3601]

I so tried to like it but the singing killed it

[@QUINT34577]

@@howardcarlisle3601 yes I don't understand all the praise in the comments people saying it gives them Goosebumps and such. makes you wonder if anyone has actually heard the original Bowie version

[@grahamtaylor8912]

@@QUINT34577 I thought the singing was great, Bowie thought she was good enough to sing in his band anyway.

[@davidlingard7369]

No one phrases a song like Bowie,so hard to replicate.

Don't like this at all...The original can not be touched.

She was dreadful.

Bowie thought she was great.
