Thank you kindly for sharing

the strings

[@oscarminori]

"and therefore a Bowie cover....oh dear" ahahahaha!

[@kaztekoko]

Genius

[@johnryan8173]

Bowies, clone kind of genius

[@filipuhrovic8536]

This is what happens when genius meets genius! Neil is great once again, as he is on a Black session in Life on Mars. Or as he is anywhere everywhere...

[@johnryan8173]

But no problem If he got alot of inspiration of bowies style etc he is still a great artist

[@Koshirozation]

a very obscure one indeed!

[@philipclan4558]

A Bolan cover ? Why not ?

[@joejgw]

Is this from the Bowie Meltdown? I was there, it was amazing!

[@j9andphoenix]

is this on an album or live only?

[@ailurophilely]

live only, it seems

[@Liquid_dreams-]

he fucking nails this not many could

[@johnryan8173]

Was he offending bowie by saying oh dear not again etc when he sung bowie cover ashes to ashes I wonder maybe not i like Neil hannon but I feel he got alot inspiration from bowie even sounds, like him

[@vintagedetective]

... He just plays this cover a lot

[@theyouofyesterday6254]

Think this was recorded at Bowie's Meltdown Festival (possibly 2002?) so it was a bit of an 'obligatory' cover! :-)

[@gregorytaylor9104]

​@@theyouofyesterday6254It was. I was there. And you're right. He was joking because every performer at the festival was obliged to play a Bowie cover. It's the only song I remember from the concert, it was so good.

[@michaelbeaton4177]

Was this recorded in a tin can? In a small compact submarine? Who recorded this? It sounds like an interesting cover but it's impossible to tell...

[@gregorytaylor9104]

I was at this performance. Royal Festival Hall, London. It was part of the 2002 Meltdown festival, curated by Bowie.

Ok, der Gesang ist (zumindest in den höheren Lagen) nicht voll überzeugend. Aber dennoch ist es eine sehr schöne Version, insbesondere wegen der Geige.
