David Bowie - Heroes (Live at Glastonbury Festival 2000)

[@sjamo150]

i was in the crowd that night, i was 18 yrs old and pretty clueless about bowie, what a performance and what a night - RIP David Bowie

[@garyscovell8480]

Been a fan all my life I'm 61

[@whatcher8151]

wonderful, to see people not afraid, normally, fearless. Remember what you seen, remember how it was, bring yourself back.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

David Bowie is gone, but he will never die. His greatness will last forever. Real legends always do.

[@hichamsaid5203]

What a performance. I like this guy. I will...

[@Dax79]

I was there for this bottom, stage right at the front! Will never forget this night :) RIP Bowie

[@norahherbie9144]

[@bobtis]

+Dax79 How fortunate were you. He was the best ever.

[@revol148]

little did we realize that the 2000 Glastonbury was to be the last of the real mad festivals....ah well

[@bottlesflying]

I waved at you, but you didn't wave back.

[@huntress2538]

Thie following is the best quote I've seen that explains why Bowie insisted the BBC cut his performance from air only a few songs in and then spent years making vague excuses about sound quality and the like to avoid the full set being aired...until now. "I think Bowie knew exactly what he was doing on the night of June 25, 2000. He wasn’t about to give away his peak performance or his catalogue for nothing. He hoarded that night so that one day it could be shown in all its glory as his legacy, the culmination of his golden years and surely his greatest concert since he buried Ziggy Stardust at Hammersmith in July 1973. It’s a time capsule of his life, ready to be shared with us now that the stars have aligned.”

[@shywalker404]

Who said this ?

[@rossd6779]

Was it John Peel?

[@s.hopkins4490]

Ross D It was an article written in The Guardian.

[@mikehoncho4480]

Whether this was the real reason or not I'll always have faith it's true ✌️

[@AlisonWild]

Bowie with that hair is like God came down and said "hey you....it's your day today." Yes, I love him.

[@54spatula]

Absolutely beautiful. Back when everybody was there for the music and not to update their status!

[@dieLaura96]

Sounds like the best reasons :) makes me happy you've had such a good time.

[@leeleeturn]

ditto, lol!

[@pmiller4799]

I just watched the whole set on BBC Covid-19 replacement coverage, I was at this festival in 2000 and had forgotten just how amazing Bowie was, I will never forget the moment he came on onto the stage in his long white coat, radiating like the rock star god he was.

[@AshleyPomeroy]

His hair is truly magnificent. He looks as if he was born to stride an enormous stage.

[@LED1512]

I was there and it felt religious. I don't know if that's the correct description? Whatever, i realize now more than ever how blessed i was to be stood in that field with friends. RIP Mr Jones.

[@Millerbaz]

I remember him walking out onto the stage in that big white coat and he was such a presence on the stage, like a God had walked before us .... One the most amazing live signing voices along with Mr Mercery who unfortunately I never got to see :(. but Bowies singing sends shivers down ya spine.

[@ccdcassi]

Wow you were so lucky to have gone to his concert

[@leeheaps2458]

Yeah man!!!!!🥰

[@dykeboots2012]

So beautifully said. My one & only experience at Glastonbury (I'm in Australia) was in 1994. It was the most magical, beautiful 3 days of music I've ever experienced - even everything getting stolen from my tent didn't dampen my mood. Unfortunately we got stuck with Peter Gabriel as the closing act. Bowie closing would have been a religious-like experience for me too, I get what you're saying. He was my first ever concert at the age of 11, and I have never forgotten it. RIP my HERO.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

Rest in Peace David Bowie (8th January 1947-10th January 2016) The stars look different today X X

[Verse 1] I'm drunk off your kiss For another night in a row This is becoming too routine for me But I didn't mean to lead you on And it's alright to pretend That we still talk It's just for show, isn't it? It's my fault that it fell apart [Pre-Chorus] Just maybe you need this And I didn't mean to Lead you on [Chorus] You were everything I wanted But I just can't finish what I've started There's no room left here on my back It was damaged long ago Though you swear that you are true I'd still pick my friends over you [Post-Chorus] My friends over you [Verse 2] Please tell me everything That you think that I should know About all the plans you made When I was nowhere to be found And it's alright to forget That we still talk It's just for fun, isn't it? It's my fault that it fell apart [Pre-Chorus] Just maybe you need this And I didn't mean to Lead you on [Chorus] You were everything I wanted But I just can't finish what I've started There's no room left here on my back It was damaged long ago Though you swear that you are true I'd still pick my friends over you [Post-Chorus] My friends over you [Instrumental Bridge] [Pre-Chorus] Just maybe you need this You need this And I didn't mean to Lead you on [Chorus] You were everything I wanted But I just can't finish what I've started There's no room left here on my back It was damaged long ago Though you swear that you are true I'd still pick my friends over You were everything I wanted (Everything I wanted) But I just can't finish what I've started There's no room left here on my back for you It was damaged long ago Though you swear that you are true I'd still pick my friends over you [Post-Chorus] My friends over you!

[@eastcumbriancollector983]

Chorus] I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be heroes, just for one day We can be us just for one day [Verse 3] I, I can remember (I remember) Standing by the wall (By the wall) And the guns shot above our heads (Over our heads) And we kissed as though nothing could fall (Nothing could fall) [Refrain] And the shame was on the other side Oh, we can beat them forever and ever Then we could be heroes just for one day [Bridge] We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes just for one day We can be heroes [Outro] We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer just for one day Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, just for one day

Lucy Weston Johansson leg end more like coz artistically he dried up after 1983.

[@Klui_]

@@steffanhoffmann1906 Dude, he had cancer, it destroys you completely, and besides, the last photos of him are something amazing, facing death with a smile. On the artistic side, after Tin Machine he came back stronger than ever with "Buddha Of Suburbia" and the experimental jazz album that was "Black Tie White Noise". And 2 years later he created the masterpiece that is "1. Outside" and just kept going and creating even more amazing albums. You should really listen to his work and the 90's and the 2000's. Some of that is better than the things he made in the 70's (Which are also amazing works).
