This is the best version of Under Pressure that I've ever had the good fortune of hearing and seeing it done live. David Bowie is Mr. Sound + Vision. I thank the creator for giving us the gift of David Bowie and all of his beautiful work. Rest In Peace David you will always be loved and missed by all of us fans, your family and friends.
Still listening all these years later. Very few can improve on a song but these two nailed it. It's sad to know such legends have moved on to their next journey. Til the next life 🙏
David and Gail's voices were magical together. This is just fantastic that David asked her to sing this song with him...She's got a strong and beautiful voice. You can see him loving her singing...
Gail on RollingStone: I said to him, "There's no way I'm going to be able to sing and play that - are you kidding?" He was like, "I'll give you two weeks." And then he walked out of the room, so I had to figure it out. ... and: I said, "Is someone else going to play bass while I sing it?'" It was emotional for me because Queen are my favorite band of all time. Every night before I sang that song, I looked up at the lights and said a prayer to Freddie. I said, "I hope I do you justice, Freddie."
David's smile when Gail belts out those wonderful notes is everything. Got to love these two together. Their voices are so damn good together and so were they....so sooo good together....
Idiot Gail Anne Dorsey was way ahead of Freddie and his shtick. Freddy had to pretend he was a girl to reach her voice pitch, and Gail would have blow him off the stage with her bass.
Simply awesome, one for the ages, I thought he would live forever. The world is a lesser place without him in it. This is a fantastic version of a masterpiece.
My favourite song of all time. I absolutely adore both David and Freddie, but David and Gail Ann's version is better than Queen's version without David. Gail Ann nails it like a boss. I saw the Reality tour and hearing them sing this together will always be my top concert highlight for the rest of my life.
I completely agree with you in that this version is amazing. Gail sings like an Angel and David is just belting it out. He always sang better live than in the studio. I too saw the Reality tour and loved every minute of it.
Got to see Gail perform last night for the Blackstar Orchestra concert in PDX. The standing ovation was much deserved. She blew everyone away. That voice. That mesmerizing and powerful voice. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
What is said in the interviews of his protoges without so many words is that Mr. Bowie was so confident in his own value to his fans that his main delight was to endorse the contributions of his coperformers. An ultimate entertainer. Personification of the term, "noblesse oblige".
so powerful. gail ann dorsey, thanks for sharing your memories of your collaboration with david with us in rolling stone today. may your grief grow into gaiety when you remember your friend and mentor.
Laugh. Remember to laugh. These two are so meant to be together on and off stage. Love them both for their music and minds and honesty. God bless them for their gifts--musical and humanity.xo
great performance..... as ever..... what a sound ... credit to the bass players voice!!!!!!! She is fantastic!!!! Loved your music Mr Bowie.. Rest now.
So many fantastic live versions of them doing this song together, but this might be the best. They are *so* locked in together, they both look fabulous, and Bowie's obvious confidence that Gail can carry the song is just a joy to watch.
Phenomenal performance...... love everything about it! ❤️ They were a great team....very complimentary while displaying the utmost respect to each other
either i'm lousy, or it's not easy playing bass whilst singing. (on guitar it's fine for me, for some reason). anyway, that girl had nailed it, and gave some unexpected moments. Bowie only gets even better, the more I listen
i've so cried, that im feel devastated. so beautiful and incredible. i have no words as a foreigner, but i have too much love for these artists that is incomprehensible.. im crying now. and, that was really real.. like the jeff buckley song
Jessica Bowie has a wonderfully unique voice but nobody in my recollection had the interactivity of Mercury. He totally fed off the crowd and they fed off him.

David and Gail's voices were magical together. This is just fantastic that David asked her to sing this song with him...She's got a strong and beautiful voice. You can see him loving her singing...
Certainly ,from the first moment I saw him making an expression only to himself which could only have meant "not wow but FUCKING WOW".
Gail on RollingStone:
I said to him, "There's no way I'm going to be able to sing and play
that - are you kidding?" He was like, "I'll give you two weeks." And
then he walked out of the room, so I had to figure it out.

David is absolutely amazing! Gail is superb! Together they are magical!
David's smile when Gail belts out those wonderful notes is everything. Got to love these two together. Their voices are so damn good together and so were they....so sooo good together....
I love how his face lights up at the sound of her voice. A generous performer.
dang, that bassist doing Freddie's part...just nailed it. You'd be challenged to find a guy that can do Queen well. Just a fantastic job.
+Kawaii Chan not even
EsJay W. Pair'A'Deez i think its to high
just need someone who does bowie now rip
Absolutely. However, George Michael did it brilliantly!
Idiot Gail Anne Dorsey was way ahead of Freddie and his shtick. Freddy had to pretend he was a girl to reach her voice pitch, and Gail would have blow him off the stage with her bass.
love how david lets people shine, so assured in his worth knowing that it’s his stage anyway lol
Simply awesome, one for the ages, I thought he would live forever. The world is a lesser place without him in it. This is a fantastic version of a masterpiece.
Gail Ann Dorsey, one of David Bowie's greatest discoveries!
1980
Imagine doing Freddie better than Freddie.
Another Bowie discovery that is truly wonderful is a Canadian girl named Emm Gryner and she's easy on the eyes.
the grin he breaks into at 2:30 ... just at the sound of her voice.
Because he cant sing anymore ?? No offence but we all have our day dont we ?
Holy Mother of God... Philadelphia's own Gail Ann Dorsey absolutely kills it with Mr. Bowie.
He really smiles when she kills it.
That is what a teacher does
Gail Ann Dorsey...magnificent! What a voice, what a talent. And Bowie not afraid to showcase it. BRAVO!!!!
Wow, does she have a powerful voice. Like Freddie did. Very respectful version. I like. Thanks for posting.
No respect needed to be given. Bowie co-wrote the song.
1980
Watched this so many times and Gail is just something else. WOW. Absolutely incredible.
Asombrosa interpretación de Gail Anne Dorsey, y tocando el bajo!! Qué maravillosa voz la de ésta mujer.
Hermosa toda
What an amazing performance! Spot on! Both David and Gail Ann in rare form on this night!
R.I.P. to a great Legend
Gail fucking ROCKED this.
My favourite song of all time. I absolutely adore both David and Freddie, but David and Gail Ann's version is better than Queen's version without David. Gail Ann nails it like a boss. I saw the Reality tour and hearing them sing this together will always be my top concert highlight for the rest of my life.

The best performance!I love their singing.
What a pity for David, rest in peace to him
What is said in the interviews of his protoges without so many words is that Mr. Bowie was so confident in his own value to his fans that his main delight was to endorse the contributions of his coperformers. An ultimate entertainer. Personification of the term, "noblesse oblige".
What an absolute treasure to stumble upon. Clicking around on youtube vids and fall on this stunning beautiful performance.
As a straight man, I used to be jealous of David Bowie because he was so so handsome. And I don’t get jealous of anything.
so powerful. gail ann dorsey, thanks for sharing your memories of your collaboration with david with us in rolling stone today. may your grief grow into gaiety when you remember your friend and mentor.
i have been listening to David's songs for 1 whole week now 😦 and it still pains me when the thought of him gone goes through my head 😢
Laugh. Remember to laugh. These two are so meant to be together on and off stage. Love them both for their music and minds and honesty. God bless them for their gifts--musical and humanity.xo
What a performance if this masterpiece! Simply beautiful.
Best version ever❤❤❤❤
Amazing performance. Gail was incredible. David was the second coolest person on the stage that night.
Dream about it ... Once Mr bowie is in stage, nobody can beat him.
1980
Great live performance, I wish that he would have done it when Freddie was alive, that would have been some epic moment.
David....how to live in this world without you??? One of the very few last real men left. Love you forever.
Yes, David, whitout you? I dont't believe, RIP your fan from Brasil
+Eva Leherová there are of course other men, even great and beautiful men, just none like him. RIP
noooooo i love you 2nd im your cutie girl
great performance..... as ever..... what a sound ... credit to the bass players voice!!!!!!! She is fantastic!!!! Loved your music Mr Bowie.. Rest now.
Gail and David were made for another and nothing can ever reach those 2 together.
Thank you for sharing your God-given talent Mr. David Bowie... Rest in peace...
playing Bowie since Monday
David 😔 😢 2018 now. Your music is going to be forever !!
That piano intro was beautiful. Bowie liked it, too.
He'd been working with Mike Garson, the pianist, for something like 23 years off and on when this was filmed.
Back again for 100th time. She lights this song on fire. One of the greateat live perfomances ever. Still gives me shivers..!!!
Yes this makes me happy I forgot how much I loved his music
So many fantastic live versions of them doing this song together, but this might be the best. They are *so* locked in together, they both look fabulous, and Bowie's obvious confidence that Gail can carry the song is just a joy to watch.
she's excellent, and David is good too
This will never get old. Ever.
rest in peace my fave great singer
Brilliant rendition of this song.
Fredy y David siempre vivos en mi corazón ❤️
Besos al cielo mi par de grandes genios
David Bowie worked with his time. All the teenagers should listen to this song which can help to go over peer pressure and therefore stress.
David and Gail Ann compliment each other. She has such a strong voice. Awesome!
Mr. Starman your music will live on forever! RIP
Gail owns this! I know it's probably already been said. I wanted to say it too.
I don't think so, she's simply very good, but he's the only great.
Sed Verdad Bowie is def a legend, no doubt, but sorry, dude, Gail does own this performance.
I agree, her voice is something very special and Bowie is rather sexy!
Wow. That was spectacular
They’re amazing love them forever
Man, she nailed it!...awesum. r.I.p. mr.Bowie
girl is giving me goosebumps 💕
yeeeaaAaHhh
thanks many many to everyine include in this peace of magic
Gave me the chills....
I love the bass player she is amazing
She is just amazing ♥️
Can't quite believe this. I am so sad, so lonely, without him in the world.
Her voice is so clean without an accent. That takes talent and control
"Beautiful Man"! One of The Greats!
1:03 Bowie's agressive vocal.
Just amazing. Made me cry.
Beautiful!!!!!
Phenomenal performance...... love everything about it! ❤️
They were a great team....very complimentary while displaying the utmost respect to each other
It does not get any better than this.
Beautiful song❤️
They made me goosebumps. All miss you guys 😭
either i'm lousy, or it's not easy playing bass whilst singing. (on guitar it's fine for me, for some reason). anyway, that girl had nailed it, and gave some unexpected moments. Bowie only gets even better, the more I listen
This song is big enough to accommodate any number of fine performances, of which there have been plenty.
Thank you. She's outstanding. David and the band were great.
So nice. I needed this today. What a great song and tribute by two WONDERFUL artists. Thank you for his really Excellent live version.
Genial, aunque debo reconocer que mi favorita será siempre la versión con Freddie.
Grandes por siempre David y Freddie.
Both are absolutely wonderful!
RIP To a True artist and legend
Bowie no podes mas de genio!
RIP you are a true legend.
I was skeptical at first, now I'm very impressed!
0:17 that piano...that's magic😍
Thank you David for you Pure Glory.
Great duo
Today is a very sad day for me..... R.I.P my dear DAVID!!!
Give love
Give love
Give love
One more chance❤
That bassist voice O M G :O
Só nos faz chorar de felicidade em saber que vivemos e vimos tudo isto em uma década linda e eterna e ninguém roubara de nós .
i've so cried, that im feel devastated. so beautiful and incredible. i have no words as a foreigner, but i have too much love for these artists that is incomprehensible.. im crying now. and, that was really real.. like the jeff buckley song
she's amazing
It’s a shame that Bowie and Freddie never sang this song together on the stage
Wow.
Just wow!!
So beautiful!!!
Rest In Peace! Your music will leave forever!
You mean, live?
Qeen right the song and drum and guitar in and guitar and freddie song and david bpwie
What a gift he was!!!
QEPD genio de la vida, gracias por todo.
Un capolavoro...love Bowie forever
WOW!! I’m a huge Bowie fan and an even bigger fan of Mercury. Bowie’s singer is excellent, but NOBODY commands the audience and performs like Freddie.
I disagree... Both are fantastic, just different
Jessica There is NO performer who can hold tens of thousands in his palm like Freddie did.
Jessica Bowie has a wonderfully unique voice but nobody in my recollection had the interactivity of Mercury. He totally fed off the crowd and they fed off him.
So Missed!
Lots of great performances of this song by various artists but GAD and DB certainly raised the bar.
Much more than amazing !!!
SHE IS GREAT!!!
