Time - David Bowie | The Midnight Special

[@davidbrehmer2596]

One of the most cynical and wistful songs ever written. Would be career defining for most artists. For Bowie, third or fourth best on that particular album. I love this song.

[@nealr3940]

It was always my favorite Bowie Time is timeless

[@igorakcio]

hahaha totally that

[@rghilino6734]

Seeing Bowie on the Midnight Special...it didn't get better.

Time is waiting in the winds 😂😂😂 very true 😮

[@luisdavid_1990]

Simply: Bowie Live making art fifty years ahead of its time.

[@Fat12219]

Take your time 😮

[@musicemporium1959]

David Bowie is to Rock what Miles Davis is to Jazz 🥰🤩

[@shawnmcvey7789]

So true, especially in the way he sought out and assembled musicians to help him forge new sounds. If Bowie called he wanted you for what you did special.

[@massapower]

The 70's was the most Innovator & Creative era for music 😁👍🏻😎✌

​@crielcara1987 for hair bands

[@begshallots]

It was an amazing decade with such a variety of sounds from glam to funk to punk to prog to soul to rock to dub. It went all down hill after that.

[@Fat12219]

😮

[@Chris-wq3pe]

This really should have so many more views from Bowie fans ! I noticed he had to change 'wanking' to 'swanking' in the lyrics, but no TV at that time would have allowed such risque lyrics. Not so very live though, recorded band, recorded vocal, and singing another lead vocal, at one stage the recorded vocal for 'we should be on by now' got in before him, and he gave a wry smile picking it up mid line. That's show biz. MIss you David Bowie.

[@michaellomax2]

Bowie was way ahead of his 'time'. The Ziggy/Aladinsane period is my favourite.

[@Fat12219]

Take your time 😮

[@Fat12219]

Head of his time 😂

[@SupremeMrRici]

Amazing peeformance. I love this guy.

[@Fat12219]

So cool 😎 😂

[@bobsebring2819]

I remember waiting all week for this to come on. It was the talk of the school. This song blew all of us kids away. Dtill is the funkiest song I've ever heard.

[@nigeltuddenham8338]

Bowie is the best love ya David loved the midnight special ❤🎉⚡️

[@SwampEye1]

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Thanks for the initiative.

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

Most welcome!

[@Fat12219]

You 😮

[@aladdinsane.]

I have been watching bootleg videos of this and other Bowies videos from this particular show for years and most with a lot of quality flaws or missing spots but was happy to see them and could live with them! ...But finally, it's so great to start seeing very high-quality original TMS videos here on "The Midnight Special" channel from Bowie's 1980 Floor Show that aired back in 1973 and I remember it like it was yesterday! ...I sure hope eventually the whole show will be shown in its entirety! ...As there was nothing else ever like it ever since as it was almost the end of his Ziggy-Aladdin persona! ...Absolutely Bowie fantastic! Thank you Midnight Special for releasing it and the many other shows and artist you have been sharing as I have been praying for many, many, many years for this musical history day to come from you!

[@tonyfrost2776]

Absolutely amazing

[@a.giwdaj4623]

3:18 - I wish this particular part was sung like that on the album. But both versions are perfect. :)

[@Fat12219]

The way the song 🎵 starts 😂 cool 😎

[@LauraGonzalez-fq5pk]

Falls "swanking" to the floor ;)

[@chrisbenedetto4736]

Not that any Americans knew what "wanking" was...

[@TheHarolda1]

And 'Chimes, **beep** you're getting old'. O, these Americans...

[@robertshirley3422]

It's actually, " falls wanking to the floor...." Look up British meaning!! 😂🎉

[@nedbrab]

I've waited 50 years for this. Thank you. What are the two hidden videos about though?!

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

2 more songs that will release later this month. We are sharing new songs daily on the channel. Thanks for the support!

[@mansonsblood]

@@themidnightspecialtvshow These are amazing! Thank you so much! Can't wait for the other two tracks!

@@themidnightspecialtvshow. Johnny Winter just came up in my KZbin feed. Subbed.

[@laceybanter5937]

Just look at how far we've come. This performance would be banned in almost every state today.

[@stevematlock4426]

I doubt it

[@larrybethune3909]

David is way hotter than Dylan that's for sure.

This must've been quite a shock to see for the American audience

😂

[@larrybethune3909]

Ah yes, The 1980 Floor Show. That was freaky to watch as a kid.

[@Fat12219]

Ya time 😂

[@1witg0ddess]

a tv americana não tava preparada pra isso

[@swanzettajohnson7882]

NO THEY WASN'T

[@bigdaddysugarcane2894]

This is something out of rocky horror picture show

[@johnr7729]

Seems the intro is missing with 1984/dodo.. But great to see this

[@kevind4850]

The channel has now added it to the playlist - though it looks like it's been placed at the end of the list, it is there. An absolute dynamite start to the show!

[@adiliagonzalez6710]

I want to kiss him always!!❤

Kurt Weill vibes.

[@rabbwit3744]

4:43 rude xd

[@danfoss1535]

Sounds like Madeline Kahn should sing this one☺️

[@jdenglishpronunciation]

It’s a bit sad that the spiders aren’t in this clip

[@kevind4850]

Yeah, but he'd already broken up with the band by this point, even though most are still for this last appearance of the Ziggy character.

[@bsdgffishtuna5186]

but why the guys in leotards?

[@slaaayvidBowie]

Cuz it’s David Bowie

[@onafetsonitnerros]

Broadway

[@user-dd6ng1wn1b]

That is a great song, but I would rather see the band than the Vegas floor show. That looked like something Cher would put on.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Knowing Bowie, that may have been the point. Even if only for a fleeting moment in conversation. 🤷🏻‍♂️😃

[@shuirei]

the crowd is taking me out

[@Relayer6a]

Karaoke🥱?

[@larrybethune3909]

Nope, he's singing that. 100%.

[@Davidwv97]

Live vocals, studio instrumentals

[@FutureAbe]

His hair is ridiculous.

[@suffragettecities]

it’s a mullet

[@skiphoffenflaven8004]

If this song was good I’d have less of a gut-wrenching affect watching this. Over-rated.
