Hope it is. Right a few days after his...departure for Heaven, some people began to accuse and judge David because of his eccentric behaviour, costumes and make up back in the seventies. Ok, times were different then, but he was not a sex maniac, and he wasn't a greedy person at all. He was a normal bloke who changed and then lived a normal family life. Some people should not judge. RIP David.
"Although the cover of 'the man who sold the world' was changed by the label for the USA release to something they felt was more appropriate." - A picture of a cowboy LOL. America is still very much like this in certain areas.
Man, that intro with 2001: A Space Odyssey while Space Oddity is playing was pure gold. I know it was just a couple of seconds but they match perfectly.
The Dancing in the Street docs are great. Thanks for posting. "But it soon became clear that a mainstream American audience was not yet ready for a rock star from outer space with a penchant for cross dressing."
This is all taken from the great BBC Music Doco, Dancing In the Streets. It's an exhausting 10-part series looking at all genres and history of modern music. If it's available, buy it, it was such an eye opener to me for all kinds of rock & pop milestones. It's a wee bit behind the times at 20 years old, but it's absolutely jam-packed with info from the delta Blues, to electronic music (I bought Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express after I saw this), hip-hop block parties, and the burgeoning of the DJ as a talent, not just the bloke who spun the records. The chapter called Hang On To Yourself looked at bands becoming incredibly dressed stars, androgeny, and theatrical bands in general. I love Brian Eno's jacket with the Peacock feathers on the back when he was in Roxy music. I really wished he hadn't left Roxy, but at least he makes appearances on Bryan Ferry's albums from Mamouna (1994) onwards. I'm about to trawl through the quagmire that is Ebay for copies of this series on DVD. Wish they'd update it, though. All respect to you, David Bowie. Now you can be whatever you want. Say hi to John Lennon and my dad, would you? :( I'd love to post it, but I threw out every VCR and VCR tapes. Maybe Ebay could solve your music problemos. I really hope it comes out on DVD, but somehow, I'd doubt it. Bloody BBC.
+minfo2000 I've never heard the Dead, until a single was released in 1987, and to not remember the name of it, is really effing strange. I think the name of the track was something to do with "grey"Sorry!
Very Well Done Documentary. As a Bowie fan since I was 13 who approaches his 60th birthday at the end of 2015, I find the information, presentation, and attitude of this piece enlightening. I learned some things I did not know and I consider myself a Bowie scholar after following him since the late 60s. This documentary gave me a better understanding of Bowie evolution to what was Ziggy/Aladdin Sane and I got to meet the cast of characters from the era. I remain a Bowie fan thru all the years -- yet I admit the Tin Machine interlude threw me for a loop -- and his current work is as fresh as when I first discovered him -- just listen to Heathen, Reality or The Next Day. Bowie is about music and he is also about intelligent respect for the fans and for the Artist. What has always impressed me is Bowie's respect for his fans. Dig into interviews and you see he exposes his inner self, while sometimes thru riddles, his motivations and his personal musical process. Amazing Artist. Amazing Man.
Thank you Emma. I think I wrote this comment just before David passed. Check out my public playlist entitled BowieFavs on my CZcams profile. It is astounding how many videos about David are here and the count keeps growing! I remember the days when we rarely saw any TV coverage and rarely did they play his songs on the radio. I still managed to follow his work for all those years. And what a massive catalog of music/art/theater/film entries he left for us. I'm grateful for his contributions and for his beautiful songs.
ich bin mit Bowie gross geworden,der Film Christiane F hat uns ja wohl alle beeindruckt ,ich wusste es damals nicht,ich habe in Berlin nicht weit weg von ihm gewohnt,bei bekannten.auch mein erster Freund sah ihm ähnlich, hier liebe gruesse an Ivo.ich hab dich sehr geliebt.
You have isolated yourself for certain incidences, but I have isolated myself on purpose because people don't get me very much or I have been isolated because I'm not considered cool. I'm considered a nerd, but nerds are cool. I'm glad you came along because I feel like there was finally somebody out there that got me and you didn't even know me. Good job, Bowie. I've been bullied, and you've been hassled for your long hair and such, people want to ask you things just so that they can talk about you, and that's when you tell them it's none of their business. I've been alienated and treated like a weirdo, but I am one. Not a bad one, but I don't do anything to anybody, either. I'm usually good at minding my own business and try I to stay out of other people's. Anyway, I guess I kind of feel like an alien too, but I know people better than they think I do. I only go after the ones that stand out. Most peole are full of typical answers and actions. I don't want that. I want people to act like people and have honesty and say what you're gonna say and so forth. And ha e opinions and stuff. You were one of them, and I like that. You're special and I like YOU. You were awesome, not just the singing and the acting, but your personality, it's addicting. Not because I'm obsessed with you or anything, but because of YOU. I could sit right along with you and have a conversation and not care what you think about my opinion. You're not going to always agree with everybody, so that's a given. I'd treat you like everyone else. I would talk to you and have my opinions and you would probably be inclined to let me have them. You're such a remarkable person, it's unreal. You can be rockstar and not have any tattoos and have long hair or short hair and be respected. Now let's see of I can play any of my music for anybody. I'm pretty shy about that, but playing music for me is like you showing people your paintings. I've painted before and would rather show somebody a painting or a drawing than play my music or sing for them.
+donnaeve She seems to have had (and probably still does) quite a difficult personality to have around, which probably made people dislike her. Plus, she is given to embellishing and inconsistency, not to mention being kind of self-serving and not moving past her past. No one likes to give credit to someone they don't like or trust! But she does seem to have been instrumental in his look, which drove so much of his success. People try to deny her role, but she is not claiming that she ever wrote his songs or anything. I, for one, find it easy to believe that a brash, ambitious and possibly controlling wife tried to help dress her husband and push him in a certain career direction. Too bad they divorced when he was pretty much broke so she got relatively little money out of it.
Hi, I'm having trouble finding part 4 to this documentary. When googling it, only the song comes up. Can you tell me where these clips, specifically the interviews with Bowie are from? Thanks!
ich finde David Bowie schon ewig toll,allerdings war ich damals unsterblich in Ivo Korbitz verliebt und ich habe zehn Jahre lang echt gelitten das es nicht wirklich was geworden ist ausser Kutschen und petting mit Ivo meine ich natürlich, irgendwie tut es immer noch weh.lieber Ivo bitte sei mir nich mehr böse.
from mercury little hermes-boy to venus dressed then red-martian rocker , further succsessfull jupiter and berlin saturn ...outer neptune , techno-uranus and then in the villa of orman where hercules kneeled before typhone in the 8.house of black star pluto .
7:30 "Britain had seen nothing like it for years. Ziggy fever took over". Oh really? Clearly forgotten all about 'T.Rextasy' of the previous year when Marc Bolan & co were selling more records per week than the Beatles had at their peak and far more than Bowie ever sold.
Same way as when you die under surgery but different though. After leaving the usual frame of mind that ordinary people have you are never the same again. Things look different. You find this in the bible too. The bible say that some people are killed by the world. Then you are son of man.
Johnnywhamo When you see God/ the light you die. Understand? It also says this in the bible. If you see God you must die. And then your mind is altered forever. Your next question from you would be how did he die I suppose. When you listen to everyone else intensely for many years you take their minds into youre mind. Soon there are hundreds of different minds thinking in youre head. Till you explode because of too much energy. You simply go out of your mind.
"The first artist to publicly declare himself bisexual, or gay" with the word gay given as if it's an explanation of bisexual??? we can see that mentalities have moved on at least
I don't think they meant that. I think they were just tying to say that there were no other bisexual artists before to declare themselves as such, nor gay artists to do the same.
Cool .. It includes an excerpt from THE 1. Single of "Space Oditty" sung by a D.B. - Imitate ..(-because his Label DON'T trusted in the Beginning his Voice AS a SINGER.. ;) ... ) NO KIDDING ,..COMPARE.. :)

The man who fell to Earth has now ascended back to Heaven. RIP the battle is over.
Hope it is. Right a few days after his...departure for Heaven, some people began to accuse and judge David because of his eccentric behaviour, costumes and make up back in the seventies. Ok, times were different then, but he was not a sex maniac, and he wasn't a greedy person at all. He was a normal bloke who changed and then lived a normal family life. Some people should not judge. RIP David.
RIP The Greatest rock star that ever lived .....
This is a cracking insight into Bowie's Ziggy period. Much better than a lot of Bowie docs out there.
"Although the cover of 'the man who sold the world' was changed by the label for the USA release to something they felt was more appropriate." - A picture of a cowboy LOL. America is still very much like this in certain areas.
"why are you so upset?"
"he's smashin!"
Man, that intro with 2001: A Space Odyssey while Space Oddity is playing was pure gold. I know it was just a couple of seconds but they match perfectly.
The Dancing in the Street docs are great. Thanks for posting. "But it soon became clear that a mainstream American audience was not yet ready for a rock star from outer space with a penchant for cross dressing."
Bye Thin White Duke. I'll miss you :'( We'll miss you
"You looked very GREEN on stage...I think if you wore makeup you'd look a little more natural...." hilarious!
I remember seeing this documentary on PBS twenty something years ago. It was excellent.
Don’t ever forget the man had a great voice
Maaan Bowies london accent was strong when he was Ziggy.
I'm sorry, but I just think Angie was cool as hell."Wouldn't you love to be loved by so many?" Perfect response.
And now Mick Ronson and David Bowie finally reunited to play forever up there ...
and Trevor as well...
But are they really up there or down there 🔥
The Ziggy Stardust's period was the very best
Yes,sooo true.I love this time when he was ZIGGY STARDUST,nice one
:)
Absolutely Fabulous David!!!!! We hope you have found your Bright Star....
A thin beautiful man
More Robert Smith ! love you Bowie
He channeled his art is what I am hearing
Wonderfull to see ziggy again and listening to the fans .wonderfull x

2:23 I think he busts an american accent...or maybe I'm just high.
yeah he does... certainly wigged my shit
all he did was imitate.
that was his stock in trade.
thank you x

'know' a 'nerd' from Sweden who may have similar feelibgs
Thx, just Magic ✌️️🎼😉
Rest in peace, Mick & David.
Seems like ANGIE had a lot more to do with BOWIES success than is given credit

+zookytar She sure as hell wasn't Courtney Love.
+blackpeter70 no she drew the line at murder
@wildcatter63 wow bro hope you are sober
Did anyone else find that theater clip disturbing??
Very much missed
I love you and I hope that you'll be watching from Heaven and be happy as people as musicans, people or whatever.
is it just me, or is the audio constantly switching between left and right?
It's not just you.
Elemeno P. No, the audio is weird.
Thats called stereo
Making my eyes dart left and right 😂
What a suit. Looks like a nice heavy fabric.
" Just another ' future song'..mothers little kitsch. ...." speaks volumes
Bowie exudes sex!
+Nouki Blue
He's really hot in this interview!
Nouki Blue He was always gorgeous!
Yes!
Bowie, never met me though!!!!
i would say blindness of most of the people!
7:57 Love Mick Ronson
Hi, I'm having trouble finding part 4 to this documentary. When googling it, only the song comes up. Can you tell me where these clips, specifically the interviews with Bowie are from? Thanks!
Bowie is an alien so perhaps hes a little pretty green
ich finde David Bowie schon ewig toll,allerdings war ich damals unsterblich in Ivo Korbitz verliebt und ich habe zehn Jahre lang echt gelitten das es nicht wirklich was geworden ist ausser Kutschen und petting mit Ivo meine ich natürlich, irgendwie tut es immer noch weh.lieber Ivo bitte sei mir nich mehr böse.
People in the concert w Ronson are just out the door of a Disco .....
from mercury little hermes-boy to venus dressed then red-martian rocker , further succsessfull jupiter and berlin saturn ...outer neptune , techno-uranus and then in the villa of orman where hercules kneeled before typhone in the 8.house of black star pluto .
I have been a Bowie fan all my life but now I know He ripped of Marc Bolan (who got it from Syd) big time
7:30 "Britain had seen nothing like it for years. Ziggy fever took over". Oh really? Clearly forgotten all about 'T.Rextasy' of the previous year when Marc Bolan & co were selling more records per week than the Beatles had at their peak and far more than Bowie ever sold.
Who'll love Aladdin sane?
Mick Ronson aaaah
lieber Ivo, bitte sei mir nicht mehr boese und heirate mich,ich liebe dich,for ever Deine Betty Blue
oh i was number 1000 to like it, go me! :) sorry i know thats sad to notice that. dont beat me up about it. ;)
Nothing really clicked until he got that haircut.... David had a near death experience that altered his mind stupid
When? Where? Hair cut did change things.
Jan, what near death experience, how was his mind altered??? I never heard that in my life.
Same way as when you die under surgery but different though. After leaving the usual frame of mind that ordinary people have you are never the same again. Things look different. You find this in the bible too. The bible say that some people are killed by the world. Then you are son of man.

how come this is from 1996 if Mick Ronson died in 1993?
+Maciej Kowalski Ah, the mysteries of life...

The documentary probably includes an old clip of Ronson...
+TorkGirl8 no hes a zombie. just no one likes ti admit it
