David Bowie was 51 y/o for that show. Amazing how young he looked for that age.

[@fdrstan]

He looks great but 51 is relatively young still. I know I didn’t think so when I was in my 20’s and 30’s.

[@KeizerHedorah]

He looks about 53 here but fosho

[@wildechild5]

Tomorrow January 8th would have been this geniuses birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mr Bowie.

[@marsoblivi0n945]

Love Bowie! But this song doesn’t hit as hard without Trent on stage and the incredible sound design with the two groups collaborating. Trent’s on another level compared to Bowies band.

[@Danjoker.]

David Bowie was the coolest guy ever.

[@keithramsay6923]

I was fortunate enough to see Bowie live in '95 with Nine Inch Nails as the opening act. Blew my 15 year old mind.

[@SSNESS]

Still the best country though

[@lab981]

Lucky dog

[@SHAKED0WN.]

Same here, also in my teens. Definitely a concert I wish I could relive today! Which venue? I saw them in Hartford, CT

[@stable-shadow]

It was a great Birthday Show, one of the best songs anywhere! Such a beautiful Man.....missed terribly 🕊️

[@random22026]

Never heard this one before. Impressed by the lead guitarist's whammy bar antics: sounds exactly like an excavating dentist's drill. Appropriate

[@chrisnavasatis6461]

Kinda happens when ya mix Bowie and NIN.

[@escaton74]

Reeves Gabrels can handle it all... playing in The Cure nowadays

[@random22026]

Insane skills ;D @@escaton74

Trent for the win! ;D @@chrisnavasatis6461

[@JosephHaubert]

I first learned about Bowie through Trent Reznor and NIN. This was the song that intro'd me to Bowie. I believe the whole album was off and on a project with Trent, I don't remember too much. I became a real Bowie fan after this. Ziggy Stardust is easily a top 50 album for me. Miss this legend!

[@emiliog.4432]

Great song. Even more relevant today.

[@strangedazey546]

No joke

[@therealjd1503]

One of my favorite Bowie songs

[@egglady]

David went so hard with this song! Great performance.

[@andydufresne8034]

I bought that album when it came out but have never seen it performed live and am amazed to see it performed on guitars when I always pictured it as all synthesizers.

[@mangasky7]

Simply sensational. The greatest rock star performance ever in the show's history. The world misses you badly, Thin White Duke. Everything went to hell after you left the planet.

[@bradpreston7779]

January 6th is the perfect day to post this. It’s my absolute favorite Bowie song.

[@neilsmith9066]

Or any blm or antifa “protest”

[@Hellseventeen]

Underrated Bowie album

[@Jimmy-bm3xy]

Where was it rated?

[@petrhorcicka7542]

Happy Birthday, Mr. David Robert Jones. Jan 8 1947 - Jan 10 2016. You are missed by many.

[@Margie75]

Rest in Peace, David ❤

[@DavidBowieNews883]

LEGENDS ONLY.

Just noticed the OG bigfoot swaying in the back.

[@MerlinGrant]

Oh my gawd. This is impossibly good. Everything went south after Bowie left us.

Howie is cool cuz he let David play a song directly critiquing western capitalism

[@MojoVince]

Nine inch nails era? Very nice!

[@logix7]

i do believe it is the Trent Reznor remix

[@timewarpX]

❤🔥❤️🔥❤️

[@DJRk-nc4yl]

If I were Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) I would make an album tribute to Bowie or take unknown recordings of the Thin White Duke and (with permission of course) make an album BOWIE REZNOR now.

Is Howard that tall or is David that short?

RIP Trent Reznor

[@stecumo6459]

as much as i love trent and NIN the original version is way better

[@charlie.saturday]

Interesting he's afraid of Americans and he wasn't even around to see our "shooter" era. Shock, public places.. I'm scared too and I unfortunately live in this mess

[@HostileTakeover555]

Americans basically gave him his career so…but the song is really good.

[@stereophonicsmom]

He so didn’t need us. Do a bit of research on his career.

[@cryptoallstar8904]

He has 100 songs that are better than that one.

[@Polyfusia]

He looks so young. The 90's were special.
