David Bowie - Pictures Of Lily

[@SpideyVids]

This just found its way onto my feed today - I've never heard it before but it's great... Bowie nails it again and makes it his own.👏👏👏👏👍

[@angelaharris4957]

Absolutely awesome the best cover of this song ever

[@stecarter5988]

One of the greatest covers ever -

[@catman4471]

Wow never knew Bowie covered this.

[@mrscherry3091]

From October 2000. Pete Townshend had asked him to take part in a Who tribute album.

[@maxteicher3186]

Great song by a great band covered by a great artist

[@brianconway100]

That certainly sums it up

[@nigeltuddenham8338]

Awsome thanks Bowie made my day

[@juliusbernotas]

That's a great interpretation of the song, love it

[@happydays2300]

I didn't know he did this! He Bowicized it! You realize, from my time stamp, I am writing this on the day he passed from this earthly plane of existence. But not from MY life, not even. As I said, here I am, hearing this one for the first time ever. I still have new Bowies to hear, here. Guess I'll limp along even though......she's been dead since 1929....and how I cried this night.

[@necholecordova5513]

just found this song today and already i love it

[@magneto7930]

Weird version after being used to the classic Who song...but not bad. Bowie made it his own.

[@omanmc]

Simply wonderful. Would have been a wonderful pick for Bowie Pin Ups 2.

[@johnhaley6489]

I think this was recorded as part of the PINUPS set but never made the final cut. HE used I can,t explain . Dont quote me on that.

Love the big bite of the guitars on this remake. An excellent take on the original. I only know of him doing 2 remakes of The Who songs, unless theres a third out there.

[@jeffreysims3831]

what is the other one?

[@dannymiles6503]

@@jeffreysims3831 its on the Pin Ups album, I Cant Explain. Bowie slows it down a bit, but the guitar, sax and vocals make it a cover i do like. Another one of The Who's great songs.

[@rodsgod4x]

from substitute songs of the who

I appreciate the work of David Bowie, but I like more the Who's original - this one here hasn't got the drive and power , it sounds more, as it is played in 1/2 speed or under benzodiazepine! - When it comes to cover songs , Bowie's Version of "See Emily play" of the 67' s Pink Floyd/Syd Barrett- song is much better in my opinion! That psychedelia athmosphere better fits with the character of Bowie!

[@dylanschofield8067]

Exactly, its still good but doesn't have that "BUH BUH BUH BUHBUH" it's more of a "buh, buh, buh buh buh"

[@englishchief373]

Ironically, Ramones did a cover of substitute from The Who, too.

[@stevekohut9888]

Why is they ironic?

[@randomlight8416]

It's all subjective,I know...but this song cover doesn't "suck",imho.

Where is this from? Can anyone tell me?

Man I love Bowie, but totaly disagree with all the comments I've read hear so far To me, this version sucks.. this is one of my favorite songs by the WHO, so when I saw Bowie covering it. I just had to check it out... sorry I did.. the WHO version is A MILLION TIMES BETTER.. but then I wouldn't want to see the WHO doing ZIGGY STARDUST either

[@WinModel88]

Yes, absolutely agree.

Man, I love Bowie but this cover is wayyy too slow...kinda All the Young Dudes speed. Now if he had done it in the early 70s with the Spiders..different story.

The only song cover that is far better than the original. Grungy yeeeah.

Try Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower. That's iconic. This is interesting.

Great cover by this guy called David Bowie. Imagine how good he would have been if he made his own albums? I reckon he could have made it big.
