[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

I'm 61. I also miss the new music from him. One of the first albums i bought was Ziggy Stardust. I had no idea who Bowie was, but the album cover was interesting and I loved the "To be played at maximum volume" note on the back cover. Needless to say I cranked it up to about 8 on my stereo and had my life changed forever. Man music was powerful in the 70's!!!

[@traekas7228]

jr132, Alright, already! You win, man! Ronson’s back-up vocals are great. I wonder why he’s doing Bowie’s high parts, though? Because Bowie’s young here, he wouldn’t have needed Ronson to cover him on the higher parts yet. Are u old enough, or knowledgeable enough to recall when this performance was recorded? And know of any (then) upcoming concerts he had planned? Cuz David might’ve just been trying to save his voice for some concert. Same kinda thing happened to Freddie Mercury and his voice, as he got older. FM began losing the upper ranges of his voice. But, David Bowie isn’t that old, here. Confusing...?

[@jr13227]

Traekas7! Haha thank you. This says 1973 in the description but I don’t think it’s from then because Bowie broke the Spiders from Mars up before then. This probably aired in 1973. You should check out the Santa Monica 1972 live album.

David Bowie survived the 70s, the era of "glam rock", ( yuk ) and he definitely matured into a remarkable, wonderful musician and charismatic performer. His accumulated works, which were studio engineered and published, amount to an impressive achievement. Mind you, David may well look queer in some of his early costumes, but that was the look he was going for. It's how "us kids" used to like. Bowie the trendsetting trendbreaking master.

[@MusicCollaborator]

+Rick Coram Yeah, he killed off Ziggy fast I believe that lasted 18 months. He's very smart & he knew that would be a dead end, though many that hang onto Ziggy would not agree with me at all lol.

Glam Rock was great, think about Queen and even just his time as Ziggy Stardust.

When i was a kid my parents made me listen to "Raul Seixas", a brazilian rock singer from 1970 that used to sang songs with obscure lyrics. And one of his songs happened to be one of my favorites when i was a kid, named "O Carimbador Maluco" (something like "The Crazy Stamper"). It was a song about a rocket that couldn't take flight because of too much bureaucracy. It happened i didn't noticed it was a clear anarchist propaganda, but this must be exactly why im kinda of anarchist today to be completely honest XD

So off we go to "The Dungeon" which was THE after hours hangout then (Very private upstairs members only). Those guys were just regular folks trying to make a living.

Bowie isn't dead he is undead just like his character in THE HUNGER Vampire movie. The world is controlled by generational Satanist Vampires & has been since Ancient Egypt. Royal families & banking cartel families are all inbred into one bloodline of Vampires. I think the old bat Queen Elizabeth will soon step off of the world stage to become young again but don't worry Vampires like young blood not blood from older humans which is why thousands of children disappear every year. Damned Vampires control all governments & orchestrate all wars. Up next is WW3 & a fake War of the Worlds alien invasion with Beastly hybrids created on private islands by cross hybridizing Nephilim Giants with animals, wolves, bats, lions/tigers/jaguars & even scorpions. Think about it the Beast in ALIEN looks like a scorpion/Nephilim Giant hybrid doesn't it ? The Nephilim were the offspring of the Fallen Angels who had sex with women. WRATH OF THE TITANS shows us how big Giants were. The Bible says "We were like grasshoppers in their eyes" meaning they were rather large dudes. There is no climate change but there is climate engineering. Nikola Tesla is the grandfather of Directed Energy weather control. The floods of 1927 were engineered to create bigger government for control. HAARP Gakona Alaska 1992 was the first installation in the US but I'm sure other areas of the world had HAARP installations prior to 1992. HAARP Directed Energy is used to create hurricanes, tornadoes, brutal winters, drought, wind driven wildfires, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions & earthquakes. This isn't just a theory, my friend worked on the HAARP project so I know weather control is a fact. All geo disasters are planned & engineered. They are purposely destroying crops & homes. Their goal is to kill off 6.8 billion people to "Keep humanity at a constant 500 million or less" There are going to be food & water shortages as planned. According to FBI chief Ted Gunderson the US government has built 1000 FEMA internment camps & they've purchased thousands of XL plastic reusable coffins. They also purchased 30,000 guillotines & they've built microwave death chambers. Revelation 20:4 explains the guillotines. Revelation 9:11-They have over them a king of the Abyss, Abaddon/Apollyon the Destroyer....aka Lucifer/Satan/the Devil. In the US the phone # for emergency is 911, the top selling Porsche model is the 911. On 9-11-2001 according to CNN Flight 11 ALLEGEDLY hit the N. Tower at 11 minutes to 9 then 911 days later to the day they bombed the Madrid trains. I check CNN daily & if you scroll thru the propaganda headlines you'll see they use the # 11 far to often to be a coincidence. The occult love their numbers. Sick Bastards rule the world.....until Armageddon when they will be destroyed by the Archangel Michael aka Jesus Christ & his army of Angels !!!

[@adamgill]

Taking a holistic view of Bowie over the years - compare this to Lazarus - and realize that there was 43 years in between. Still a showman, still intense, still focused, still a consummate performer. As ever he was, ever he will be. Forever.

[@josefcb19]

This song is a true masterpiece.

[@harpothehealer]

The work of David Bowie, his musical work anyway is unique; for an Artist to be a pop artist (meaning musical Artist, pop music), maintaining individuality while continually experimenting, and reinventing themselves when it suits them, to my of thinking makes them a true Artist. A very difficult quality to achieve in popular culture. I come from the world of modern jazz and Blues so some might think I wouldn't recognise his work .Well I will some it up in one word; FANTASTIC

Never a big fan of Bowie but i liked some of his songs including this one. He was an architect of design, fashion and music in the 70's in particular. Basically he is a legend that will be remembered for a very long time.

[@daddyb60]

My God, are most of these comments inane. This was the song that made Bowie famous. It was originally recorded and released in the UK in 1968 when he had a contract with Mercury records. When he signed with RCA in 1972, they re-released the two Mercury albums, "Space Oddity" and "The Man Who Sold the World", and released this song, "Space Oddity" as a single in the USA, which launched Bowie into international stardom. Later that year, Bowie released the album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" which turned him into the larger than life legend he remains today. When this video was made, which was during the tour for the album "Diamond Dogs", Bowie was still obliged to play Space Oddity in his concerts since it was the THE song that made him famous. At this point there were only two original members of the Spider from Mars left: Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder. Without Mick's brilliance as a guitarist and producer, I am not sure Bowie would have achieved such notary, as Ronson added real rock n roll balls to the sound.

I've got so many different performances of Space Oddity, but this is by far the best. Bowie singing his heart out, Mick just fantastic - incredible.

[@anamericanprayer1967]

There is such a beautiful give and take between David & Mick. I enjoy watching them together; more than any other “group”. Even though they are choreographed; the spontaneous vibe is a full body sense for the ear. So beautiful …

[@nj_tuffguy9606]

With out a dout. For this song hands down!

[@user-ys9fg4ol9s]

I get into phases where I want to learn and hear EVERYTHING from a band or musicians in general, books,,bootlegs, rarities, documentaries....EVERYTHING ( trust me this is getting to my pont). First it was The Beatles, then The Monkees ( highly underrated, " Me and Magdalena "proved that Mike and Micky provided one of the best Harmonies IMHO.), then The Who, The Beach Boys, Frank Zappa and NOW David Bowie. I have always loved Bowies Music, but now ? I'm at the "phase " again . That's why I recommend the Documentary "Finding Fame" .... it shows the Tenacity and Never Give Up attitude that David Bowie had. He certainly wasn't an overnight sensation and The Documentary shows this. Mick Ronson was very crucial to Bowies success. In fact, you couldn't find a better band than the one Bowie had backing him in the early 1970's Long winded, I know.... I guess it's just the OCD in me. By the way? Two other Awesome Documentaries are The Kids Are Alright and the Documentary on the Wrecking Crew, which I believe are both FREE with ADS here on KZbin.

Great bassline, playing it's own melody. You can feel the influence of McCartney and the Beatles were huge at that time, same for the drums and Bowie's interpretation, very close to Lennon.

Suq Madiq Absolutely fantastic band! My favourite Bowie era was with The Spiders from Mars. So many albums in a short period! The later 70's "Berlin" era of LOW, LODGER, HEROES were very ground breaking. 1980 saw SCARY MONSTERS AND SUPER CREEPS. Wow! Just when he was being written out as "the past", with new acts like Gary Numan, Human League, Depeche Mode etc as "the future"! Imitators! Bowie ruled and still does posthumously! ⚡ ❤ 👍
