Bowie's performance of "'Heroes'" on 6 June 1987, at the German Reichstag in West Berlin has been considered a catalyst to the later fall of the Berlin Wall. Following his death in January 2016, the German government thanked Bowie for "helping to bring down the Wall", adding "you are now among Heroes". You cut off the video at end, but Bowie says "I felt that" and touches his heart.

[@AB-zc8ps]

That way this clip always gets me ....I tear up everytime...🙏

[@nirfz]

@ Michael Hopkins: You sure they did that because of the Performance? I mean Bowie lived in Berlin for a couple of years in the late 70's. (together with Iggy Pop) He came off of drugs there, and he wrote several songs, including Heroes, which is about a couple near the Berlin wall that gets shot at by border guards while kissing. I'd think it was because of the song in itself, being written in and about the situation of people in Berlin. Not just because of one single performance of his.

[@Scary__fun]

@@nirfz The concert riled up people on both sides...in East Berlin people came to the wall so they could hear the concert. It was one of a series of events that exerted pressure on East German Government and Gorbachev to finally dismantle the wall. Here's an article about it - www.vox.com/2016/1/11/10749546/david-bowie-berlin-wall-heroes Also, a video - www.the-berlin-wall.com/videos/david-bowie-plays-berlin-711/

Losing Bowie was a kick to the guts....so many songs - Loving The Alien, Life on Mars, Cat People, China Girl, The Glass Spider (album track from Never Let Me Down), Bring Me The Disco King ( album track, but an awesome live version on his 2004 tour), The Man Who Sold The World, Within You (from Labyrinth) - I could add so many!!

[@alanlevesley4952]

Bowie’s passing was such an incredible loss to music. A true artist and such a unique voice, always creating, never staying the same. You can see by the way he was holding the crowd in the palm of his hand and making it look easy that he’d been doing it for decades by then. If you haven’t already I strongly suggest reacting to Life On Mars. Others may have a different opinion, but for me that was Bowie’s masterpiece.

[@lynnhamps7052]

I have been to hundreds of concerts over the years and each time I saw Bowie, he was one of only two people who literally made my knees weak when he walked on stage...his charisma oozed from him like a light...amazing...miss him so much... x

[@HappiestGirl69]

Jovaughn, I'm proud of you for having such an open mind when it comes to music. I wish I'd been like that when I was young. I'm a child of the 80's and have loved music my whole life. I always wrote off Bowie as "old people music", I'm ashamed to say. So in the last 5-10 years I began realizing that the music that I loved that I considered MY Generation's music, was almost entirely inspired by Bowie. All of the bands that I loved the most LOVED Bowie. Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Trent Reznor, The Human League, OMD, Kate Bush, Placebo, Talking Heads... I could go on and on. When Bowie passed I was devastated because I didn't know him when I had the chance and he was here. I started quickly making up for time and it goes without saying that I LOVE David and I'm so sad he's gone. Even more, I'm so sad that as a teen I closed my mind to him and wrote him off. How wrong I was! Now he's at the top of my very favorite artists of all time. I love every song he ever did...except maybe "Dancing In The Streets" with Mick Jagger. LOL! And now, thanks to the inspiration that I have been getting from your videos, I've gone on to take a 2nd listen and appreciate some of the bands from my youth that were "too old": The Eagles, Phil Collins, Stevie Nicks, Queen, Steely Dan, Supertramp... and I'm starting to get what was good about them.

I've watched this video about 100 times since I discovered it. I still get goose bumps on my neck when the music starts. It's from 1977 originally. I was 18, and will always be 18, despite the fact I'm 62. I said at the time: "No, this music belongs to the future." I'm still right. It still belongs to the future.

[@roslynclifford5983]

I get chills when I see/ hear David Bowie. Consummate showman, brilliant songwriter and actor. The concert sounds almost exactly like the original recording. Hats off to all of the musicians.

[@God-ck5yo]

I have occasionally had online conversations with Duncan Jones, the film director, who, by the way, is an absolutely lovely guy. I've never asked him about his Dad, I always felt I would be intruding, but I really hope he sometimes comes to places like this and reads these comments and sees just how much David meant to so many people. RIP David.

He performed a concert in West Berlin, before the wall came down, right by the wall and loud enough for people on the East to hear.

bowie always delivered. not too many geniuses in rock (or any other endeavor), but he was one, certifiably.

[@jmhaces]

He wrote this song in the late 70's from the point of a couple living in opposite sides of Berlin and separated by the Berlin Wall and the Cold War while he was living in the city. When he passed away Germany's Foreign Ministry tweeted "Good-bye, David Bowie. You are now among # Heroes. Thank you for helping to bring down the # wall" in his honor and the mayor of Berlin Mayor said that the song had become a hymn of the then-divided city and its longing for freedom. How cool is that?

[@katzerll]

He describes a situation of 2 lovers at the Berlin Wall. One coming from the West, the other one from East Germany. They have to separate before night and go back to their side of the wall. In the 70ies Bowie used to live in Berlin, working at Hansa-Studios right next to the wall. And there he also wrote this song. Singing this song in front of a Berlin crowd is giving me chills. Especially living here :) Bowie is very special to us Germans. // JayveeTV, I watch all of your videos. So emotional, entertaining and honest :)

[@Rob-eo5ql]

Inspired by the sight of Bowie's producer-engineer Tony Visconti embracing his lover by the Berlin Wall, the song tells the story of two lovers, one from East and one from West Berlin.

My man, he *always* delivered. When I saw his Sound and Vision tour, he had the flu. He came out and gave a solid performance for the first half; then took a somewhat longer than average intermission (maybe, what, five minutes longer?), and came back out . . . Then he rocked, and rocked, and rock-goded, and then, towards the end of "Young Americans," sat down in a chair for a minute or so, wiping the sweat away and taking several deep drinks of whatever was in that container (while we cheered and shouted, all of us knowing he was sick and appreciative of his "show must go on" attitude, since the word had gone out on all the radio stations that he was sick but still going to perform), then started singing the very next verse and got back up and finished the song, and proceeded to follow *that* with an encore which was the length of which most opening acts' you've ever seen while dancing with his backup singers like he was still some teenager. Can you imagine: sick as a dog, in his 40s, and still came out like the rock and roll superstar he was? I didn't have to; I was there.

This would sadly be his last tour before his heart attack in 2004 , he didn't want to miss out on his daughter growing up and time with Iman by always being on the road. 2016 was such a tragic year for music , we lost Bowie, then Prince and then George Michael ....

A story I heard was that after the concert ended a few fans were waiting outside, and David Bowie really took them back to their hotel !

[@fapmashina1]

Amazing David Bowie! One of my favorite singers /songwriters of all times! It's very strange and sad he's not here anymore!

[@saikichan3277]

One of my favorite Bowie songs! 🎈❤️🇸🇪

[@dannycasson1551]

I must have cried for several days when I heard he passed away. I exclusively played his music for at least a year.

[@rebeccastarovich6079]

The story in the lyrics is of lovers from the East and West side of the Berlin wall and speaks to the determination of love conquering all. Some believe the song played a part in the wall coming down. Amazing song. Great reaction.

[@johnmccarthy-behindtheveil]

That concert location was very significant. The song is about two lovers on both sides of the Berlin Wall.

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

He mentioned the album Low which he is going to perform. Sound and Vision Iis the great hit off that album

[@jodavey7709]

Just played Low the other day...

[@DevInvest]

You picked an amazing vintage Bowie performance

[@novembercherry4]

Bowie and his wife were two of the best people on this planet. I feel for he because she lost an amazing husband, and we lost an amazing artist too early. 💙💙💙 RIP Bowie.

[@neilsmith9066]

He sang this in NYC for the Heroes of 9-11 a couple days after the Towers fell. Not a dry eye in the crowd or at home it was amazing

[@MediciDee007]

When Bowie died i cried for days. I was so surprised as I've never reacted to a celebrity death like i did for him. He was my second concert experience Glass Spider Tour. He was just the rarest most interesting artist of his time. What a loss when he died. Love him!! Please do more of his work!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Divedown_25]

He delivered on this one... Bowie Bowie Bowie 40+ years of pure magic

[@CJ-fx4bj]

I loved it when this played in the finale of regular show

[@johnmills2678]

Pops! 😢

[@Amanda-mb5sp]

The whole damn world fell apart when Bowie died... kinda wanna see you do STARMAN.

[@AB-zc8ps]

He like to come and meet us but he thinks he'll blow our minds! 🙏

[@nathaliebroeren3764]

J did a reaction to Starman a long time ago. You can find it in his list 😊

[@lesliesylvan]

Love, love, love super versatile, dynamic David Bowie. Movie; Man Who Fell to Earth is decent Sci-Fi.

[@AB-zc8ps]

He was and always will be the "Man who Fell to Earth"...but what a man..🥰🙏

[@lordsleepyhead]

This is very different from the original release of this song, but in true Bowie fashion, it is true to the spirit of the song.
