When ever I see Bowie’s earlier performances like this one, a smile naturally appears on my face, not only because I like his music so much, but due to the fact that he will go on to create so many more iconic albums and songs from here - along with the fact that David himself in the recording is not yet aware of his future feats. Long live David, and may you rest in peace.

This was the exact moment as a 13 year old I became a Bowie fan for ever, watching this again 50 years later I can see why. Looking at it now with older more mature eyes I can see this is the moment Bowie knew he had really made it, they look to be genuinely enjoying every second. Loved every second of that

[@peregrinec5477]

I think I was 6 years old when I first saw, "Ashes to Ashes," on the Showtime, as filler. Several years before MTV started. I was alone in my living room and I was actually waiting for some kiddie film to start. But, when that video came on...Wow. I was so in awe. For a few moments, I thought I was watching something I shouldn't be. But, I felt the same way the first time I watched Monty Python a year or so earlier. My parents didn't seem to care then. So I watched this video...Then right after that video, Gary Numan's, "Cars," was next. I found myself that day. :)

[@self-proclaimedanimator]

Man you ppl were born in the perfect period of time Like all good stuff happened in the past If I was like born 30 or 40 yrs ago I could have prolly gone to a Queen concert Or maybe I could have seen Elvis alive Today's is just boring songs with vulgar lyrics I am 17 would turn 18 this year The only good thing about his period is prolly internet Nothing else is good Now that I think about it even my mother wasn't born in 1972 crazy man

[@omnivorous65]

@@self-proclaimedanimator In most other human fields I would have scoffed at the notion that everything was better in the past as one of those tropes that are repeated ad nauseam for - literally - millenia. But I agree that current pop and rock music has reached a creative low point. The reason is unfortunately the digitization of music both in creation and reproduction. Simply speaking, you cannot make any money from it anymore and so a lot creative talent simply evaporated. Back in the days, you had to buy a record if you wanted to listen to music. It was a lucrative business to be a creative artist. Today you swap files, download them, go to youtube, etc. The artists are screwed, you cannot make a living from it and the most talented people find different professions. There is hardly any live music that is not performed by established artists. Check out bill-boards for concerts and on offer is mostly a very geriatric bunch of musicians and bands. Making music computer or even AI assisted allows everyone with minimal talent to produce something that is at least decent. In the end it just generates sludge. There has to be a lot of talent out there, there always is, but the conditions to nurture and develop that talent have deteriorated. A real bummer. We are cheated out of great new music.

Whaaat? It isnt 1970's anymore? Wtf

[@chuckster243]

Ain't that the truth? I'm 68, I'd give up all of my future years to have 3-4 years as it was back then. I'd make that deal in a new york nanosecond.

[@flibitboat]

I'm 34 and never new how good David Bowe was until this year! I only ever saw him on the labyrinth as a child and he scared the hell out of me. I am shocked how incredible this song still is today! Learning to play the song makes me appreciate it even more! High quality timeless music baby!

[@Ice75]

I really wish I had known of Bowie before his passing. He really just feels like someone out of this world, his music is the best I've ever heard. Fly high starman, hope you enjoy your trip across the stars.

[@allihi.]

agreed. im 13 years old and i first found out about him when i was 7 -8 (i share the same birthday as him, so curious young me found him by simple google search), and never really paid attention past. recently however, i began listening to him and i wish i would have paid him more attention when i was younger. he's nothing short of magical, that's all i can say about him.

[@Ice75]

@@allihi. I'm glad someone else from my generation likes Bowie's music I'm barely older than you but I found out about him much more recently. I fell in love with the way he tells stories through sounds and lyrics and how much soul he puts into every chord and every word. He indeed truly is just magical.

[@mastermind-2011]

Same, I'm 12 turning 13 and I found out about him through Under Pressure and my Spotify recommendation to listen to Starman, wish I knew him before his passing too. R.I.P David Bowie, you changed music all by yourself

[@mastermind-2011]

​@@allihi.Same, I'm nearly 13 and I found out about him through Spotify recommendations, more people ought to know about him

Saw David the first time in 1974. Saw him 3 time he will always be my favorite❤. Had every one of his albums

[@MarthaMyDear6]

That is so awesome, Lynne!!! I saw him just the one time in 1990 near Houston, TX. Incredible show. Still can’t believe he’s “gone”. 😭

David Bowie was the Starman , he just didn't want to blow our minds ❤

[@HansBerger-m3d]

he changed earth. Its now a acceptable asylum for aliens. For the aliens among us.

He blew mine.

[@mikdamoose1622]

He absolutely blew our minds!!

[@ROCKINGMAN]

I was going on a trip with my class back in '73 in Abbey Wood, a beautiful day, I think it was the science museum. What a bunch of nice kids, we were all friends and this old coach was waiting outside, the nice old driver had this playing on a radio. What a great time. We had just come out of the 60's, bloody hell what a time and now the 70's...more great times and then Elvis died and I was really sad.

[@syohnan1918]

50年後の今見ても凄く新鮮で素晴らしくカッコいい👍

[@terenceoneill3075]

All the verses are super cool, but when it comes to the chorus about the Starman, I feel like crying. It's beautiful that he's out there and cares about us, and doesn't want us to blow it. It's not just the words, it's the wistful longing that David sings with, and then with conviction about the children. I listen to a lot of music, but this-this is unique because... ahh, you fill it in.

[@mitchcornacchia968]

Beautifully said.❤

[@carolinemuncey5353]

The start of a musical icon. Broke all barriers here with Mick Ronson. Never will he be forgotten

[@williamtsmith9668]

He was a true gentleman and humble, off stage. Too, he was the greatest lyricist of all time. He left us with many hidden meanings that, after decades of studying his songggs, I continue to find more and more genius in his creative writing.

[@Mac-x5r]

David Bowie was a genius when it came to art and music. A true original.

[@y_ringoffire]

I cannot believe he is not there. In my memory he is singing all the time.

[@brucegwynn8509]

Ziggy (David bowie) was so ahead of his time, you had him , the beatles and of course the rolling stones and bob dylan, so much great music reforming the thinking and actions of generations of people , music is a powerful tool , thanks for the upload!!

for me, the best version of this song. Unfortunatly still doesn't have in spotify.

[@INSTRUCARP]

It still makes me giggle watching the kid in the tank top watching himself on the monitor, oblivious of the momentous occasion this was. A wonderful piece of TOTP history. Love it xxx

[@geoffpollock6892]

I watched it back then and have several times since and you are absolutely right. I thought the same back then as I do now. You wonder where he is now and whether he revels in that bit of history "that's me - really!" or whether he lived a life of embarrassment continually denying his moment of fame. It's not as if he could even dance!!! :-)

[@johnknight8814]

there was an effort to find him but I'm not sure they ever did. Tank tops forever!

This was the moment that changed my life. Hooked on Bowie for the rest of my life. How he is missed. There will never be another.
