David Bowie / Arcade Fire - Fashion Rocks 2005 - Digital Upgrade

[@CrystalBridgeMusic-v7i]

always always missing him......

[@thisaintnoparty]

Imagine the honor of having David playing one of your songs on stage. And they were a relatively new band at the time.

[@GalenHeffermanMusic]

wait, you know this is a david bowie song, right?

[@thisaintnoparty]

​@@GalenHeffermanMusicThe second song is an Arcade Fire song.

[@WaveRadio4157]

Wake Up was perfect for David’s done and style. Beautiful.

The dark eye and the bandage was teather and makeup. Pianist Mick Garson wrote that on Facebook. And I read somewhere it was for a hurricane that happened at the time, in 2005. Observe that it vanished on the "Five Years" performance at the same day.

[@lurelurche]

I thought that might be the case in the instant I saw it, classic david 🥲

[@ove---ka]

Why would he?

[@artist1970]

It also reminds me of the cover of Lodger

[@herefordmsv]

It feels like David left this world and a bright shining light went with him. Everything was better when he was around. Thank God he left a window into that world via his music.

[@paolacelletti2056]

Mike Garson is David's guardian angel and accompanied him until his last performance. What a great character the Bowie's piano man!

[@dafyddil]

David Bowie wears trousers cut short in 2005, and everyone else does 10 years later.

[@slimshany4602]

?.. Suits have slightly shorter trousers. Just like leaving the third button open. It's custom for hundreds of years prob

[@NOWtheband]

I know what you mean but people were wearing trousers short like that in the sixties and again in the eighties. He looks great. 🙂

[@DamianMacG]

Are you kidding? You clearly ain’t seen Arcade Fire live - the passion and energy those guys exude on all instruments is otherwordly, and Bowie clearly knew it

[@Romalvx]

Oh Bowie…you are so deeply missed…being in such a band could well have been one of your epic changes, like a warmer, louder Tin Machine. Shame it was for one night only.

[@itsamazeofmirrors]

Notice how Win gives the stage to Bowie completely he couldn't believe that he was living that moment and he wanted to give David all the respect possible while still being the front man

[@alexbvevo2028]

I miss him

[@LukasKetner]

It's always made me feel good -- Heather Graham standing next to Schmidt from New Girl and all the other celebrities just clapping like 😬 and then cut to Sharon Stone who clearly listens to this song every night. Someday I'll love something as much as Sharon Stone loves Arcade Fire.

David bowie and arcade fire? Its really nice to see them on stage together. Wow, they are all so young too. Happy for them.

[@cynthiabegay5661]

You know, one thing I just noticed you can see the passion that Bowie has for the song. I may be late at this comment. But it's crazy to see the dedication someone has, that I would.

[@ottovonbismarck6310]

Yet it sounds like it was written with his cut up method. Perhaps his passionate delivery is part of the theatre he brought to performances. If you watch him sing Heroes at Musikladen he flubs the lyric. He does it in the same spot in another clip from that mini-tour. It really seems like he pretended to screw up :)

[@ottovonbismarck6310]

It may or not be real; he saw himself as both musician and actor on stage. His emotion in Heathen is real-the story behind his writing it is worth a read 🌞

[@lishamarlar4597]

I always loved David's voice. His energy and enthusiasm he puts into his songs.

[@baileyhallfilms]

this is stunning quality what an iconic hit

[@Bernstorm5000]

Not sure where this came from… how you found and posted a better version. Still, can’t thank you enough. It’s an important and beautiful performance. Glad to have a more pristine copy.

[@olivergill2903]

Yes this is a better version than the somewhat misleading 'last live Life on Mars'. It comes via in a circuitous way 'Wake Up' where he looks more chipper at teh same gig with Arcade Fire. Here the hand is bandaged and bit of black eye -ooh Maybe a car shunt?

[@100percentbowie]

The footage was captured by a DVstorm capture card directly from the broadcast. Not the cheapest option but worth it.

[@unplugged123]

i think his voice sounds even better with age!

[@rhondahofman5316]

I agree.

[@albertschembri50]

miss this Legend very much.

[@marktracy3063]

What a piano player ..and of course mr. David Bowie ..what a show

[@cheetoblue]

I don't know why, but this made me cry. Joyful, sorrowful, excited, depressed, inspired tears.

[@VendettaAllspice]

So I keep watching this over and over and over again I returned to often and not it is perhaps the closest thing that I have to religion that he could get up there and do that a couple weeks after having a major health situation

[@JonahWatkinsOfficial]

David was one of a kind & much respect to the amazing pianist as well.

[@goreegirl]

He loved finding new bands and put Arcade Fire out there along with others. I miss him. Just knowing he was walking around on the same planet, coping with the same strange and coming up with new things to help it all make sense was exciting and comforting at the same time.

[@TheTownies]

[@weathergage]

Thanks, best quality version on the Tube of this, I believe last, live performance by Bowie. It is actually in 2006.

[@100percentbowie]

The Black Ball was his last ever public live performance on the 9th November 2006.

[@melizmatea]

@@100percentbowie Wasn't his intro for Ricky Gervais technically his last...?!kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZKpm6afnZhgpsU It's pretty hilarious. Fitting perhaps that his last sung words in public would be something humorous - he had such an amazing sense of humor and was so funny.

Perhaps this could be seen as the last ‘proper’ televised performance of Bowie. He did perform after this though. He did ‘Comfortably Numb’ and ‘Arnold Layne’ with David Gilmour a year later. He also performed a comedy song in the tv show ‘Extras’ and did ‘Wild is the Wind,’ ‘Fantastic Voyage’ and ‘Changes’ at a charity event hosted by Alicia Keys.
