No keyboard player has ever been able to replicate the sound of the main line in this song. The studio production applied to this song was just genius.
This is great but I agree, the studio version of that intro is just mind blowing and the louder you crank it up the more spine tingling it is. I adore this song, the whole album is indeed . . another Bowie masterpiece
It's certainly up there. Dunno if I could ever pick his "best" but having a hit like Space Oddity, then following the story up with something like this, so totally different, 15 years later is nothing short of remarkable. It's true genius
Great song, sure. But it's the use of layering and interesting sounds that grabs you. For beautiful chords, melody, harmony and lyrics look at "Something" by The Beatles as a perfect song. The harmonic shifts are incredible.
I never "got" Bowie until after his death. More than a musician, incredible appetite for life. I'm sure he wanted to live forever. Through his music he will.
And he went through many different phases so his albums have so much variety. Bowie is one of the very few true musical geniuses. I would start with his first 4 albums in order: Space Oddity, Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust.
I got Bowie the first time I saw him descend the stage in a glowing planet at Radio City Music Hall in 1972. You could add his production of Raw Power by Iggy Pop and Transformer by Lou Reed around the same time.
@@charliericker274 - well, i'm a 60's child - and was born androgynous and odd; in the days of Farrah, and bullet proof hair - Bowie was my direction and guide in all ways to be an individual; an artist - and to keep doing so unapologetically.
my girlfriend back in the 80's did meet him - a couple of times - and damn -wish i could have been there - ; everyone always swore they could have been twins separated at birth - and what i would have given just to see them together - (and get a photo! )
@@alysmarcus7747 That's incredible. Personally, I'm a 2000s baby. I'm gay and non-binary, and Bowie was instrumental in me realizing and accepting my identity. He's inspired my music, my style, my life, really, and I don't know what I would have done without him. It's amazing to see what he's done across generations.
I am lucky to have seen EVERY concert David performed in Australia during his entire career. Yep I'm an old goat. (60) I was lucky to be in law enforcement and get myself on 'stadium security' whenever he toured....free gigs for me! BUT the last I saw I paid for!...was the 'Reality Tour' and he was really at his best, he was amazing, you could see that he was really, really enjoying himself on that tour out of all that I saw before.....I don't know but maybe he knew it was his last tour. IT WAS THE BEST!
Bowie, like Prince, were that rare artist whose records and live music were two completely different beasts. You kinda had to experience both to fully appreciate what they were doing. Monsters, both of 'em.
I was a teenager when Bowie first appeared on the scene in the 7O's in CA and he blew my mind, I knew he was really something special. I was 14, in the mall, and they had huge pictures of him hanging all over to promote his latest record and to me, really, at that moment in my teenage heart, he was a god.
Dude NEVER failed to bring the very best musicianship to the table, on any given evening , and then proceed to blow the roof off a place. What a absolute legend .
I was a Beatles fan and when they split,i thought that was it and Bowie came along.What a bloody genius, specially his earlier music up to late 80s.RIP mate and thanks for the sound.One of the greats.
'I would Never Have Any Intention Of Accepting Any thing Like That' that's the quote from Bowie refusing a CBE and a Knighthood. Not only totally inventive in style and music but a true rebel, his peers were writers, musicians and artists NOT royalty. The public's love of his music is what mattered. The Man Who Fell To Earth Earth...RIP David and Thank You.
In an interview both backup singers said they had no idea who he was when they came in for the job... seriously tho how can anyone involved with music in and around the year 2000 not know the genius that he is... well was as this point. Gosh dang it I miss him...
David was a worlwide singer...know by Freddy Mercury (Queen), Annie Lennox (Eurythmics)..etc unforgettable . Still listening this music of the 80's . Nothing better has been done so far in this decading world.
There are two things in my opinion that made Bowie an absolutely unique talent in rock history: 1) Bowie was able to create music that broke conventions and was undeniably strange, yet still hooked you from the first time you heard it. None of the "repeated listens required" stuff you get with the prog rockers of his era, from the first chords you're in. Even a song as weird as Beauty And The Beast (opening track of Heroes) just grabs you immediately and you'll be singing along before the song finishes playing. He made inaccessible music accessible. 2) Through all his reinventions, no matter what persona or style he adopted, from folk, to glam, to punk rock, to new romantic, to industrial and drum 'n bass, to soul and funk, to the jazzy coda to his career that was the phenomenal Blackstar....Bowie ultimately always sounds like Bowie. You'll never hear a Bowie song and think "this is a completely different artist from the guy who did Space Oddity". Listen to a Genesis or Queen song from the 1970s and compare it to their work from the 1990s and they sound like completely different bands. But Bowie always remained Bowie, no matter how drastic the changes to his music were.
I heard this song long ago but to see it actually played live show how incredible and complicated is the interaction between all the instruments. And this bass line, my lord, this BASS LINE!
@@brendanmccabe8373 ...and also even if we include the REAL early stuff, that would be only 52 years from dawn (Liza Jane) 'till dusk (Blackstar). 1964 -2016, thus 5 decades.
Never a single day goes past I don’t listen to at least one Bowie track. For me, Heroes remains my all time fave but this song is easy top 3. Absolute genius of a performer, missed so much by so many 😇
4:10 I love how the tech tried to sneak behind the band riser to presumably fix something but right when he sneaks there the camera comes around filming everything that wasn't supposed to be seen 😂
I discovered him when I was 15. It was 2008. I’m now almost 27 and I still fall in love with his music everyday. I wish I could see him live at least once in my life. But that will never be possible. Rip David, you’ll always be my greatest inspiration
@@lwaves that's true but I mean for proper high quality audio or video. There's been so many great performances that are either dubious VHS transfers or removed altogether.

Still the coolest man in the world.
Sure
He was too cool for this world.
absolutely! no doubt
Without a doubt
Not to mention the true "Most interesting man in the world".
What an incredibly difficult song to pull off so flawlessly live. Genius Bowie!
The song was invented by him! He could have done it live over and over again! Musically and vocally, he knew every tone and rift.
Genius Paul Schaffer as well. One little fuck up and thats it!
@@shawnl2003 Is Paul Schaffer in this band? What's he playing?
Agreed, this song is hard to sing. David perform flawless.
@bonzoid5623 Nah, shawnl2003 thinks (or is joking) that the keyboard guy is Paul Schaffer, but it's obviously Bowie's usual keyboardist, Mike Garson.

Hardly
So overrated
One of the greatest! 😉
Let’s make no mistake here, this is fucking incredible.
Well said mate
Correct
Word. 🎼
Gail on guitar instead of bass here... what an incredible talent she is.
She played guitar before bass. She filled in for a band on bass and then stayed on bass. But always said her first live is guitar. 😁
You should ask why she doesn't play bass in just one song and that this song, has the best bass line os Bowie's catalog....
@@geno43bom she doesn’t slap. That’s why. 😄
Except the guitar part is fairly dull and easy. Consists mainly of sliding bar chords around. That's hardly 'incredible'.....
Much agreed, but the back up singer are way off pitch for this one. So disappointing for this Bowie masterpiece.
This man was the soundtrack to my life

Greetings from germany
Bowie was 52 years of age when he performed this great track.
Saw him with Iggy when he played keyboards back in 1977, then on the Serious
Moonlight Tour of 1983. A brilliant and mercurial musician who wasn't afraid of
change. The body of work DB made throughout the decades remain unparalleled.
I saw him on keyboards with Iggy too! Manchester FTH I think, or Apollo. The crowd chanted "Bo-wie! Bo-wie!" but I guess Iggy was used to it
@@AndySmithCoachingLeaders Ig was great, the missing link between Jim Morrison
and James Brown. Bowie was the consummate musician and slotted
in with the rest of the band. Not once did he bring attention to himself.
A class act.
Wonderfully compelling to play and sing Bowie songs on YT as a one man band ... its spiritual and a priviledge.
52? Still relatively young. RIP Bowie.
To be honest, I could never image how this bizarre song could be done live. Well, here it is. Freakin awesome.
I remember this beautiful song too well, the rhythm of the music is captivating.
David Bowie's voice is so beautiful and unforgettable.
R.I.P
totally one of the most original compositions that test boundaries of what is art and commercial at the same time
A true icon! An artist who could release absolutely excellent material, seminal albums to inspire a new generation. To then reinvent himself and go on to surpass that very generation he inspired. Unbelievable! RIP Bowie
Couldn't have said it better!
Yeah Bowie is one of the few true musical geniuses.
You have nailed it! would that we could all do the same
Excellent comment .... hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away.
top 5 musicians in history
No keyboard player has ever been able to replicate the sound of the main line in this song. The studio production applied to this song was just genius.
add to that Fripp was just insanely unique and cannot be copied on guitar... Just too much to cover... that record is a masterpiece flat out

Out of all the celebrities passing away recently, Bowies hurt the most.

In my opinion this is his greatest song , nothing but respect to the one and only David Bowie.
RIP .🙏
Fo re ver ,,love,💘💔😭

Perdita incolmabile. Guardaci ovunque tu sia Ziggy
R.I.P. Mr Spaceman!!! you are surely missed!
The man, the legend, the god. There are no more words xxxx
Dido and what a classic bowie tune. When he died everyone played this as a tribute!
Always loved the ending of this song
Me too.
Sigues inspirando a las masas con tus cambios y estilo propios. Genios como Bowie son eternos
My brother introduced me to the album ' Ziggy Stardust ' and he used to dress like him and his hair also. He died in 1994 in a works accident and Bowie joined him in heaven,☮️☮️☮️😢☹️
RIP - loved him so much
