Love how he smiles so much while singing through this, the love shines through. That bounce of his fist at 2:55 in rhythm also reflect his enthusiasm for this song.

What a band this was.🔥 Garson's piano and Earl Slick's guitar elevate this way beyond the studio version IMO. The more I listen, the more it becomes apparent how great a song this is. In a period where his work was at its most patchy, he comes up with something beautiful and very moving.❤️

We miss you so much. We are absolute beginners, David. We miss you so much.

[@BENNETTGARETHLESLIEESMOND]

Garson, Dorsey, Slick...the chemistry between all the members of the band was incredible in the BEEB concerts. Bowie at his peak...just sublime

[@jChristophre]

David Bowie!!! What can Ii say~~~ He is the single most powerful influence upon me as a musician. Ii was looking for a single song of his to express my feelings at this time; to my amazement, there were just too, too many among his "21 Albums" in my iTunes!!!! Yet this one: 'Absolute Beginners' is a perfect Torch Song for today. All my Love to you David~~~ It's Absolutely True! "If our love song Could fly over mountains Sail over heartaches Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true" ~BOWIE 💗💔💓

[@NatureGirlWOO]

His voice is so beautiful. I wish I listened to him more when he was alive. Thank God we have his amazing voice forever with us. He looked so happy during this concert. That's what real love does to a person and he had it with his wife and children. May God bless and keep them.

[@oxfordambient]

When I first heard Bowie at The Beeb this track stood out for me at the time and it still does. I just love this live version. Bowie sings with such joy and passion and the band behind him (with the awesome Mike Garson) are superb. What an astonishing legacy you left us all David...your lyrcis in this still bring all that still love you such joy...you shiny Blackstar :)

[@suzietschirsch1257]

beautifully said. 100% with you, David!!

[@petraschubert5299]

A wonderful smile (4:03) from a wonderful artist and human. Thanks David. Your band is great too. R I P❤🙏

[@guitarmuso1]

The bass playing by this lady is fantastic

[@couplakooks]

Gail Ann Dorsey 💙 She has some serious vocal skills, too.

[@davidesardo1481]

Dorsey is a master, one of the bass players I always look up to, and her work with Bowie on bass and vocals (check their live version of Under Pressure) is astounding and worth an entire career.

[@claudiamariaschilewski8089]

Das ist Gail Ann Dorsay

[@craiglewis6145]

I've been a bass player for just over 40 years, some of that time as a full time professional. I can honestly say that Gail is amazing as a bass player and also as a vocalist. She's got such a lovely touch on bass.

[@couplakooks]

​@@craiglewis6145She balances her own distinct runs with the classic lines, and that's just heaven in the ears. ♥️💙

[@ivoz8951]

That voice...shivers...what a wonderfull song.

THIS PERFORMANCE HAS ME IN TEARS, MISS U BOWIE

[@jennifermcgoo8315]

My favourite Bowie track!

[@headbangingmama8907]

Mine too Jennifer! It simply leaves me with goosebumps!!

[@rosebid1308]

What a deep an beautiful song !! Love you forever, David Bowie.

[@fabioluizcorrea2779]

I ABSOLUTE love this music. Rest in peace David. We’ll miss you!!

[@bangurhead4027]

What an amazing song. Those lyrics cut deep like surgeons, you really feel what he's saying about being naive and not knowing what the proper next step is. David Bowie's music was a transcending element of beauty, art, feelings and pure balls that no singer has today!!!!!

[@brucedillinger9448]

No one can ever take his place. He is a one-off. And we should be grateful for that. ✌

[@aranabad2357]

And today, for the first time in my life, I TRULY think to myself: some people should never die.

[@aranabad2357]

won't be the last I Guess, So, for a way full with the best of the encounters :)

[@suzietschirsch1257]

I feel the same! Great loss and still hurts.......

[@marianievessnow6567]

I Could Honestly Agree To That😞

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Selfishly I feel that way too, although in my heart of hearts I know everyone should be allowed to die. But the universe could've spared him a little longer, I think.

[@modar62]

let's not die, let's love

[@PeppermintPatties]

What a perfectly written pop song. Thank you for everything, David. Love you 🥰

[@joehannan6966]

I love David & miss him so so much.

[@ph8349]

The band is so good. Especially love bass player and the pianist, very well played.

[@craiglewis6145]

Gail Anne Dorsey on bass and Mike Garson on piano. The best of the best.

[@Tawny6702]

Bowie only got the best!

[@DavidTransformer]

Five years since you left but we haven't forgotten. Memorable gigs in Glasgow and for me, great nights watching you at the Apollo with Ronno by your side. RIP Starman, the soundtrack to my life.

[@Azertyytreza-wg2jh]

Magnifique en boucle ,en boucle et volume a fond ,sa voix qui envahit mes oreilles,il manque tellement

[@rickogden204]

I'm 52 and this song crried me to work in my car to many textile factories in the 80's.....BRING BACk the 80's

[@LivinClean-p9e]

No, life is now ! but I sure did enjoy myself, still do.

[@lol-ic6rs]

Rick Ogden at least you lived the 80s

[@javier-vg]

I'm 53. We share birth date in different years: 1947 and 1966, January 8th. I bought this LP in Málaga ,my hometown, in 1984 and still conserve it. And still I play it in a real vinyl player.

[@tonybates7870]

How do you bring back the 80s? The decade wasn't that good anyway - we just romanticise the time when we were young. This, and Bowie in general is great, of course.

[@joanfernandezguillem1611]

David Bowie nos dejó, pero seguro que volverá algún día....... mientras seguiremos disfrutando de sus canciones.

[@gulnaratalat3227]

Absolutely love this version❤️ RIP the great David Bowie. U r going to be in our hearts for eternity 🙏🏻
