Listening to this again a few years later. Beck has *extensive* musical knowledge - traditional Western orchestral instruments, Alpine horns, a yodeler (!), Chinese instruments, a gospel choir... you don't just say "hey, let's do something different", you have to THINK about this. Aside from the fact it's an amazing cover, it showcases his deep knowledge and his respect for music.
At least 10 years, at least a few times every year for the last ten years I’ve listened to this and it still has the same effect. It still gives me chills and almost moves me tears. This is the humanity’s most beautiful, brightest, vibrant and awe inspiring moment. Nothing will ever be as good as this.
Thank you, for so beautifully articulating exactly what I feel every time I listen to this. I miss the original from the Lincoln site so much, the top notch sound and the ability to move the camera around really added to the experience. Aural orgasm!
I was introduced to Bowie 10 years ago by my dad. Soon after he died, our music class watched this and I cried and I wasn't the only one. Being a musician at age 14 now, I realize how much music can really affect people and mold your feelings. Bowie was a legend ⚡️
Headphones do an excellent job of conveying the physical placement of the groups of "sound," but man, at the beginning, those horn sections are mind blowing. The best place to sit in that hall? Right next to Beck, center stage. What a "vision."
Tremendous. I have been a Bowie fan all my life and I am now 51. I have always thought of him as 'Bowie', yet from the moment I read of his death he has been 'David' in my minds eye...like I had lost a friend.
Hahaha nooo he's gonna be remembered as an culture icon but he's not that complex there's thousands of band more complex buuuut that doesn't mean that they're better I don't think that Bowie is gonna be remembered as an excellent composer but yes as an excellent human being (not like Mozart) and an leyend of our times.
@@spaguettiwestern6313 you've clearly only heard Bowie's hits like Starman. His music is complex. Just cos some of it is pop doesn't mean it's not complicated musically.
@@pushthetempo2 yes si complex for pop but nota Even like Roxy music or even like late 60s psychodelia i love him but i don't think that any of the songs even in the Berlín trilogy have experimentation peaks as the firts pink Floyd álbum or any Frank Zappa album
This is what Beck said to Rolling Stone about that cover: "I covered "Sound and Vision" a couple years ago with almost 200 other musicians. It was surreal and insane trying to get that many people to play together at the same time. I never heard anything from him about it, but I hope that it didnt make him cringe or anything. I know he was particular, and its always strange to hear one of your songs covered. It can be a great thing or it could be a terrible thing." I'm sure he loved it. I mean, how couldn't you? You can almost breathe the love in that room through your screen.
Michael Z Agreed 1000%! Sound and Vision always left me craving for more and listening to it ENDLESSLY. It's a beautiful masterpiece, as is all of Bowie's work, but I tip my hat to Beck. This was damn good!
He should be nicknamed the musical chameleon. What musical genre has he not been influenced by and not incorporated into an album. Releases his own unique material while also paying homage to the great artists who influenced him. How can you not appreciate that!
+Sean McGerry You should see the Brits' tribute. A respectful performance by Lorde with Bowie's last band, and some of his longest supporting musicians. They played a medley and then a full version of Life on Mars. That was the only tribute necessary.
+Sean McGerry I agree, this could have been a great tribute, respectful and creative... Bowie deserved better than what I've seen so far. The performance at the Brit's awards was ok because it was his real band, and they worked with him, but Lorde was a bit dry for me, sorry.
If the human race could only present one song to an alien species, this has got to be the one, pretty much every instrument is in it and most emotions that can be are evoked!
+Reece Sellers-Mitchell Well if the alien's are advanced enough they might think why are we doing what one of their babies can do! Their kids might be able to solve very complex equations that perplex our scientists.
i dont know you, you dont know me but i know for a fact that everyone has hardships in the past, they had to go through im proud of you be proud of yourself rediate bliss.xx
+arfer After Bowie's death, Beck told Rolling Stone magazine he'd never heard back from Bowie about this performance, but that before it came out Bowie had tweeted to his fans that it was forthcoming, I think because Beck asked his permission to use the song. Bowie has said he wished he'd asked Curt Cobain why he was inspired to record The Man Who Sold the World. So maybe Bowie just didn't go out of his way to comment to other artists about their covers of his songs. I want to believe he heard and loved it.
This was a pleasure to behold. It took some big thinkers to pull this off! Fantastic work by Beck and the team that did the performing and the coordinators and the whole shibang. Gracious sakes man... what a tribute. i don't think this was just a simple cover of DB's original. Everyone sounded wonderful. The Grammy's couldn't handle something this large because the production would have been too big for them.
This is my go to for so many things....how often do you see so much joy in the musicians and singers? Every, single, one....is full of joy and making something so beautiful. I cannot keep my eyes dry whenever I listen to this. Thank you David Bowie for the song. Thank you Beck for the interpretation and arrangement. Thank you to the hundreds of people making this incredible sound.
After careful consideration on my choice of words needed to describe the musical genious, the most humble of respects to the original and the titanic effort behind this monumentaly inspired masterpiece of a cover, I am forced to proceed in the following synopsis: Fuck me... This is awesome!
I know people always don't have to like everything but the 44 people that hit dislike to this are out of their damn minds. The arrangement for this song is insane and true music and musicians
One of my best friends showed me this, he’s no longer with us but I’m sure he’s dancing to the very best music up there in the clouds. Enjoy everyone - what an experience this must have been live ❤
Oh my God, the love I have for both David Bowie and Beck... it compounds the magic ten fold ... !!!!!! When they slow it down in the middle, it reminds me of the feel of Morning Phase ❣️❣️❣️Beck is one of the very best live performers I have ever seen , and I've seen him several times. 1st was at jabberjaw with That Dog in the 90s!!!!! 😄🤘😜
This... this is amazing!! Wow!! Why o why is Beck such a freaking underrated artist. So many people don't even know who he is. Only if you say: ''He also did the song loser'' than they know. So many mediocre to downright terrible ''music artists'' out there who get crazy popular for no reason, only beceuse that they have a good marketing team behind them. I don't understand this world anymore... I'm done. Beck, you're a freaking legend.
This is exactly what I believe music is, a combination of styles, origins, rythms that join together to create feelings on us. What an amazing ride Beck took us on
Listening to Beck & co. recreating the masterpiece by the late great David Bowie, I am reminded as to why we as a human species are put on earth and why we come in all shape and sizes. Every musicians that is in this recording bring in their own small piece of sound to the overall composition. Every sound is different & unique, yet when played together, they create a harmonic soundscape that is by far greater than the sum of its parts. An analogous as to why it is important to respect one another, regardless of race, religion, political stance, background, social status and the likes. Only by working together and respecting one another can these individual noises can come together and create music. #sayingnotoracism
I'm just curious, how do you know Beck that you have his cell phone number? And I'm sure he's too busy, but couldn't he look at these comments on his video?
+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) hey mr., Coldplay isn't bad. They're one of the few group of musicians (along with beck) that makes good music that's not about sex and drugs and has meaning. They're just as good as beck. You should see Chris Martin, he plays a mean piano.
@andreapinkpawsx . . . Just wanted to tell you that your comment here is my favorite of the bunch. There is so much love behind it. Beck is known for being a huge Bowie fan himself, and this "reimagining" is clearly a labor of love and admiration. The world has lost so many treasured musicians this year, but I can't think of any as intensely mourned as David Bowie.
WOW I can't believe I just found this! Incredible! Thank You Beck for your time and Thank You to all of the musicians and singers who made this a realty! A truly special tribute! The appreciation of Bowie Fans.... Just Gratitude! What else is there for your caccomplishment!!!
This is easily one of the most moving musical performances I have seen. And I have seen some S**T! We are lucky to be alive at the same time as Beck. He truly is one of the great musical talents; not ahead of his time, but perfect right in it. I take him for granted sometimes, I plan on remedying that tomorrow.
That last minute always gives me crazy goosebumps. This is what a sincere tribute looks like (I know this is a couple years old, but still) and not that stuff that Gaga did. Beck should've performed this at the Grammys, especially because Bowie loved that performance, and not Gaga.
How did I just now hear this? I’ve been waiting for this gift of sound and vision for almost a decade. The climax felt like a taste of what heaven will sound like.
Wow! The most amazing ensamble i’ve seen!, all the instruments from around the globe! The musical styles!! From Gospel to Ka leo ki'eki'e !!!!!!! Spechless O_O’... just amazing! An absolute sound explotion and a real tribute to music itself!
I can certainly appreciate the time and energy put into all this from the musicians, singers, as well as all the "eccentric" instuments (I mean, "singing saw", y'all! Come ON!!! I kind of hope there is a jug and washboard in there somewhere, LOL, as a hillbilly myself I could get with that)… But I love that Beck has always done his own creative things much like Bowie did, and that his voice isn't the typical "pop" voice just as Bowie's never was either. So this is … Perfect. I think David would have loved this.
Wow......absolutely mind blowing!!! Love it......really lifts my spirits ......everything in it but the kitchen sink......even a saw & a man yodelling! The gospel choir are incredible......they all are amazing....just love it !
In 7.5 billion years when the sun expands and consumes this Earth, David Bowie will still have been ahead of his time.
Beck -- understanding of genius
What a quote.
Are you drunk?
every body stop re imagining this stupid anecdote it's not profound esp when someone said it in passing 13 years ago online
@@jonathancheever1595 This isn't an anecdote. An anecdote is a short narrative. This is a statement.
it’s even cooler knowing it’s his dad conducting the orchestra
Whoa! Wow! Thx for that info!
Whose dad?
David Campbell- Beck’s
I thought it was Phil Spector!
@@davidcopson5800 Spector was in prison by that time I’m pretty sure(murder).
This is like a 9 minute thesis on why Beck should have done the Bowie tribute at the Grammys.
I agree
But sadly he's not mainstream enough... Which is $@#+!
agree
He wouldn't have had the space for a 360° concert, which is clearly what he wanted to do
You're kidding right. Dud is farcical. As usual. Morning Phase aside.
Listening to this again a few years later. Beck has *extensive* musical knowledge - traditional Western orchestral instruments, Alpine horns, a yodeler (!), Chinese instruments, a gospel choir... you don't just say "hey, let's do something different", you have to THINK about this. Aside from the fact it's an amazing cover, it showcases his deep knowledge and his respect for music.
Don't forget the theremin!
And add one of the most influential composers of our time to orchestrate it all.
The yodeler is what gets me everytime. Genius touch.
Exactly what David would have loved
Don't forget his Ole','Man who put it all together
At least 10 years, at least a few times every year for the last ten years I’ve listened to this and it still has the same effect. It still gives me chills and almost moves me tears.

it doesn't mold your feelings, it understands them ...
Correction...Bowie IS a legend.
This is beautiful, Emma, I hope you are still creating music from your heart
How's your music going??
In your concept ,I’m old❤️✌️👍, but genius is infinite. Love to all
I can image how powerful it was to be in this room, I wish I was there. What a beautiful tribute to David Bowie!!

I'm seeing this for the first time in 2023. He's really talented. I bought Mellow Gold when it came out, and he remains interesting.
I come back and watch this every few months and am blown away every time
I’m crying like a baby. David Bowie touches my heart with everything he did. Beck has brought him to another level. So amazing!! I LOVE MUSIC!!!
I cried
I swear in a few hundred years Bowie will be revered like Motzart !!
maybe not like mozart but a sine qua non
Hahaha nooo he's gonna be remembered as an culture icon but he's not that complex there's thousands of band more complex buuuut that doesn't mean that they're better I don't think that Bowie is gonna be remembered as an excellent composer but yes as an excellent human being (not like Mozart) and an leyend of our times.

Jesse Pinkman so Jesse, do you still think bout Mr. White sometimes?
😅😅😅
Amazing and beautiful. In contrast, what makes Bowie's version so great is that it is so short and simple, the song always ends before you want it to!
Michael Z I always had same feeling, great one! 👍
Michael Z Agreed 1000%! Sound and Vision always left me craving for more and listening to it ENDLESSLY. It's a beautiful masterpiece, as is all of Bowie's work, but I tip my hat to Beck. This was damn good!
That's it..yea!! Seems just a bit unfinished..leaves you yearning..hanging for an ending that never comes but still catchy as hell.
But you never get enough Station to Station
'Bowie's version'? His is the original. Beck did a version of Bowie's Sound and Vision. Fair play to Beck, good job but I prefer the original.
The crescendo near the end always gives me chills- that choir!
Indeed!
this is so bloody fantastic, the epitome of “sound and vision”.
Love that instruments from all over the world are used, styles and techniques.
This makes me cry. Seeing & hearing the beauty of what humans are capable of is too much.
I agree. In a world gone crazy it is amazing to experience something like this
He should be nicknamed the musical chameleon. What musical genre has he not been influenced by and not incorporated into an album. Releases his own unique material while also paying homage to the great artists who influenced him. How can you not appreciate that!
I was only familiar with his popular hits, I didn't realize Beck was this deep.
It's what you call a Genre Bender. Billie Eilish is another version of this.
Bowie was often called the chameleon of rock
@@pushthetempo2 He has said that he didn’t see himself as that though.
Man I wish this was the tribute for Bowie at the Grammys instead of the commercial of lady gaga
Beck it's awesome
+Sean McGerry You are damn right !

I think so. This is epic! I can imagine David Bowie smiling😁
Heckyeah!
It actually may be the best live performance of all time
@@SRTW67
Literally the greatest genius most people have never heard of. My hairs stood on end and my emotions swelled. I love this man.
A masterpiece!
David Bowie was a master of reinventing his own songs, and I think he would love this version.
Watching the newly released video of Beck on stage with Ziggy, you could tell how thrilled Bowie was to have him there
Sorry. Wrong Beck

pkg996 listening to this massacre we can really cry a river, poor David.
picardbs : I think this is really really bad version. I'm sure he could have picked a better track that might have worked
Think this God dam awful
You need to listen to this in headphones to get the full effect.
noted I'm at work n left my headphones on my table ughhh set a reminder no joke to listen in 3 hrs.
or through a stereo setup as i’m doing some 5 years later!
Joyous. Beck turned this song into a hymn to Bowie.

???Underrated? Seriously, EVERYBODY who knows anything about rock knows who Jeff Beck is
Well, I enjoyed this performance of Bowie's song about being unable to write; but Beck's own work still leaves me untouched.
Why is this not the most watched thing on CZcams?

Beck really gets this wonderful, deep, thoughtful, profound 'little' song. One of my favorites.
If I had to listen to only this everyday for the rest of my life I wouldn't mind. This is absolutely amazing.
There is hope for us all, in us all, in music
This is the most underrated Bowie songs. Beck's take on it has given me chills. Love Bowie and love Beck.
8 years ago, meaning Bowie was still alive and doubtless aware of this... and I think he probably loved it.
Beck, one of the most beautiful and brilliant musicians.. I hope David Bowie loved this!!! 👨🎤
this is hands down the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
I think I watch this about four times a year ever since it came out. Never get tired of this performance.
Breathtaking! No words! Now one of my favs forever, THANK YOU BECK and Daniel for posting!
How many times can I begin to cry within one nine minute video? Five. RIP David.
Goosebumps when it finally kicks in
One genius paying tribute to another. Wow!

That last minute always gives me crazy goosebumps. This is what a sincere tribute looks like (I know this is a couple years old, but still) and not that stuff that Gaga did. Beck should've performed this at the Grammys, especially because Bowie loved that performance, and not Gaga.
It's been absolute ages since this happened and I still find myself coming back to it in awe. Pure art. Thank you for uploading.
This will forever be my favorite thing ever.
Absolutely brilliant!! Thank you for ever !
I feel like I should have had to pay money to see this. OMG!!! Utterly brilliant!! 🔥
This is a heart-stopper, for sure, sooo well done.
How did I just now hear this? I’ve been waiting for this gift of sound and vision for almost a decade. The climax felt like a taste of what heaven will sound like.
Bowie was absolutely genius. Thank you for the tribute to my hero
Wow! The most amazing ensamble i’ve seen!, all the instruments from around the globe! The musical styles!! From Gospel to Ka leo ki'eki'e !!!!!!! Spechless O_O’... just amazing!
An absolute sound explotion and a real tribute to music itself!
And there is still nothing more to say
No me canso de escuchar esta demencial version. ❤
Bowie no se merece menos.
BRILLIANT COVER. BECK IS A GENIUS.
A beautiful tribute from a young inspired brilliant artist to his mentor. Love it.
+Carolyn O'Donnell YES YES... YES
Just absolutely brilliant......listen to it with headphones on...your ears are in for a treat,I promise you...
Amazing piece of music, he nailed it. I absolutely love it
Thank you for posting- this QUALITY awesomeness! Beck inspires and ignites!
I love it all.... the choir, whistlers, yodeler, the arrangement, musicians and of course Beck!! Wow, what a performance!! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved it, but so sad to listen to today. RIP David Bowie.
Epitome of ‘Sound and Vision’. Wonderful.
I can certainly appreciate the time and energy put into all this from the musicians, singers, as well as all the "eccentric" instuments (I mean, "singing saw", y'all! Come ON!!! I kind of hope there is a jug and washboard in there somewhere, LOL, as a hillbilly myself I could get with that)… But I love that Beck has always done his own creative things much like Bowie did, and that his voice isn't the typical "pop" voice just as Bowie's never was either. So this is … Perfect. I think David would have loved this.
Wow......absolutely mind blowing!!! Love it......really lifts my spirits ......everything in it but the kitchen sink......even a saw & a man yodelling! The gospel choir are incredible......they all are amazing....just love it !
