David Bowie - Space Oddity - Live 1974

- Space Oddity was originally recorded on the 20th of June 1969, and released, less than 3 weeks later (those were the days!) in early July of that year.
It was included on Bowie’s 2nd album, called David Bowie, in the UK and, Man of Words/Man of Music, in the US. Later, it was reissued in 1972, with the familiar Ziggy-era look of Mick Rock’s video and accompanying cover photo as, Space Oddity.
Space Oddity was reissued as a single several times in the 70’s and was in and out of the charts and radio play-lists, throughout the decade. Like a lot of my generation, it was the first Bowie song I became aware of as a youngster. When I went looking for a Bowie record that contained Space Oddity - there it was - lead track on ChangesOne. And the rest of course is (my Bowie) history.
Space Oddity was performed on the 1974 Diamond Dogs tour. It was included in the set because Bowie was keen to break America and this was a song people knew, unlike the fairly new ‘Dogs material.
He performed the song above the audience, in a chair mounted on the moving hydraulic arm of a cherry picker. The cherry picker emerged from a pair of doors atop one of the “Hunger City” towers (the one with the phallus) and went out over the first six rows of the audience. It is likely people heard the familiar "Ground Control to Major Tom" opening line, before they realized where Bowie was. As the song came to an end, the chair would return to its position and the final note would see Bowie feign death with his head slumped, before the stage was plunged into darkness.
The audio used here is from the Tower, Philadelphia in July 1974, and is included on the 2005 remastered David Live album. Like most of the songs on the tour, once one gets used to the soulful and jazzy rearrangements, there is so much to enjoy in the performance, with great playing by the band, and a fantastic vocal by Bowie.
I sent a preview of this video to Mike Garson. Mike was keyboard player on this and many recordings and performances, throughout Bowie's career. Mike is a super cool guy, and has been very supportive of my Bowie video's. He was good enough to respond:
“Over the last year I've gotten to know the video editing work of a great Bowie fan who goes by the name of Nacho. He's shared with me this great edit of this live performance from back in 1974. I was so excited to add piano to this version as the original had none. I also got to play mellotron which was a special instrument that the Beatles also used. It's very emotional to see this. David was so loved by his fans and still is - in a very deep way, unlike many other great icons. Please enjoy…”
The footage used here, is from the Universal Ampitheater, Los Angeles, on September the 5th, 1974. It comes from Alan Yentob’s excellent 1974 BBC documentary on Bowie, Cracked Actor. Evidently, Yentob really knew what he was doing and for the most part Cracked Actor has really stood the test of time.
The original 1969 audio was dubbed over the Space Oddity footage. And there is the use of, what seems now, dated-looking “special effects” of superimposed flying-through-the-air footage. Was it an attempt, by the BBC editors of the day, to make up for what may have seemed to them, the fairly ludicrous spectacle of a distant and wasted looking man, apparently talking into a large red telephone receiver, sat in a plastic chair, mounted on a hydraulic arm, hoisted above the from rows of the audience? And was the audio redubbed because on the performance of Space Oddity the vocals sound flat and tinny? This may be due to the limitations of the radio mic, hidden in the telephone receiver that Bowie sang into. But also, to me his singing on the L.A. version also sounds rather cursory and disinterested. So one could speculate if after two months of performing the show, he was by now becoming bored of sitting in this tin-can, far above the audience, singing this old material, and would perhaps rather be back on stage moving to the newer stuff?
Anyway, like those BBC editors over 40 years ago, I’ve tried to squeeze the most out of the material. I’ve embellished it with other moments from the Cracked Actor footage - mostly utilizing enthusiastic spaced-out, young audience members, gazing up adoringly at our somewhat lost and aloof looking Major Tom.
Hope you dig it!
Thanks to SK for the video, and to Chris @ www.theyoungamerican.co.uk for historical info.
Do me an' yerself a favor - watch it in the H’est D available, with the sound UP LOUD!
If anyone has any other footage, or ideas for another video project, of material from Bowie's classic period, do please get in touch: nachomarcho@gmail.com
Putting this video together was another huge labour of love, made with respect for the source.

As a member of the tech crew for the Diamond Dogs tour, I want to say this was my favorite song. David Bowie was a true performer in the Broadway sense of the word. The show was choreographed from start to finish, with only one break in 90 minutes. Back stage he was serious and disciplined like an accomplished actor. He was a pleasure to work with, and considerate of his crew.
Mr. Moore I would like to hear more..of your time on this tour..
I can be found at blondeboywilson@gmail.com
Lucky man! 👍🏻♥️😂
Showco?
His 'Young Americans' album had some of his funkiest stuff - 'Fascination' and 'Someone up there...' but my fave Bowie album is 'Station to Station'. 'Golden Years' is just brilliant, while 'Wild is the wind' is so timeless and just sublime. That last track for me is one of his best....even if it was a cover.
I guess that's why he made such an effortless transition into Acting - as he'd spent his career developing characters that he acted out in his songs.
He was a singer, actor, and musician. An all round performer - which was rare even back then, but unheard of now.
This was my first concert when I was fourteen. September 5, 1974. I bought the tickets ($7.50 each) and my older sister took me. I am proud to say that I saw David Bowie on stage nineteen times from 1974 to 2004. How I would love to go back and see those concerts all over again.
Lucky you! By any chance did you take any photos, recordings, etc at the show?
@@dyermaker4731 Yes I did take photos at this show. With my brand new Kodak Instamatic Flash Bulb camera. Remember, this was 1974! I had those photos for the longest time but somewhere along the line they disappeared.
My favorite Bowie story is from when I saw him at Irvine Meadows on August 13, 2002. He was touring in support of the album "Heathens" as part of Moby's "Area 2" tour. The full line-up of artists that day was a band from Ireland called Ash, the Blue Man Group, Busta' Rhymes, Bowie, and then Moby closed out the day. I was right down front in the pit and after each song Bowie sang I would yell at the top of my lungs the title of a song I wanted to hear. After a while Bowie noticed this and looked at me a couple of times. He didn't play my song during the main set but when he came out for the encore he said to the audience, "We haven't been playing this song on the tour so far, but we're going to play it tonight because this guy really wants to hear it. He was looking right at me. Eye contact. I felt like I had been touched by the hand of a God. And he played the song, "Always Crashing In The Same Car" from the album "Low". My best concert memory from a list of shows that numbers just over 1300 in actual ticket stubs I have saved. D'yer Maker, thank you for the nice reply.
I was there, too. I was 22 and after everyone - the Doors, Janis, Jimi, Small Faces, Steppenwolf, etc., I was stunned by David Bowie. Still am.
الحاصل الله
@@robertstephens156 Потрясающе! Бывают мгновения, которые помнишь всю жизнь!
This is the most emotional Space Oddity I've ever heard. Bowie really did make it, he looks like he was out of the Earth singing this song, his voice sounds like coming from outside the Earth too.
cảm ơn bạn ^^
I think the period of isolation and addiction Bowie felt during 1974-1976 definitely contributed to this era a huge amount. It made his delivery so emotive and soulful and it’s why Station To Station is one of his most lauded works. I think the second, more soul-infused leg of the Diamond Dogs tour (where this performance is from) is extremely underrated these days. The 1974-1976 era has his best vocal delivery ever in my opinion!
When you are David Bowie, you don't even need to move on stage, to hypnotize us all
I was here. And twice at every tour bowie ever did since 1973.
wow you’re lucky 😍 im 17 so by the time bowie had passed i was only 12. ill always resent the fact ill never be able to see bowie in person in my life
Me too! Even took my mom to see him at The Garden 😀
sorry I never got to see him live - Rest In Peace David
Agree .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
The fact that he was able to belt out such an amazing vocal performance whilst sitting down is amazing
What strikes me in this performance is how phenomenal the vocals are. Incredible.
I think 74 and his diamond dog years was his strongest year vocal wise
LeThayle 76 IMO
And strongest cocaine ingestion wise too
Exactly, the vocals are so great and he's doing subtil changes with the harmony at the beginning of the song, wow!!! gives me chills!!
cant disagree , but yeah @leThayle i think diamond dogs was strong as fuck
i watched " the man who fell to earth" this week and could have done with out seeing his hog , weird as fuck though ( the movie , not his hog
3:41 the way he sung it sounds like it really came from his heart. it’s wonderful♥️
Agree .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
He sounds like he’s about to cry. ❤️
HOW can someone be so attractive god im dying
i wonder that too
Just cried, feels good. Whenever I cry about him it's like a reassurance that he even was real and not just a dream
ARIEL LUX No tengo idea por qué pero, efectivamente, me inspira un llanto con mucho-mucho sentimiento. Es fascinante.
Try not to cry too much. Remember, he couldn't cry for us when we die. I know it sounds selfish but thats the way it is.
He died on my birthday. I always looked up at the stars when I was a child and wondered if anyone was looking down at me. My father would play this song all the time and every time I hear it I think about my childhood. Bowie was a genius and I know he is watching all of us. He is a star. And will always be. Even if he is now among them. 💛💙💛💙💛💙
EM Cc Same here. I break down into tears every time I hear this song.
Dream on, come be my Dream
Its always amazing to hear Bowie sing one of his songs but "out of character" (here, the thin white duke singing a major tom era song). Bowie was one of the very few artists capable of doing a cover of his own songs.
Halloween Jack rather
Not the "Thin White Duke" yet. This footage is from the first leg of the "Diamond Dogs" tour, probably shot in Los Angeles in September 1974. (The second leg, starting in October 1974, became the "Soul Tour" and featured material from "Young Americans.") Bowie revealed his "Thin White Duke" persona in North America in early 1976 on the tour to support "Station to Station."
Halloween Jack
He sounds a lot like Scott Walker on this performance
Its still not the thin white duke this is the end of the ziggy era but I do think he sounds a lot like the thin white duke here
He looks like he’s having a really intense phone conversation XD
lOL
Because he phone to himself.
the song is literally a conversation between ground control and major tom
I'm désappointement. Nothing compared to the studio version... Interpretation blasée, like we say in French... Too bad. But Bowie! 😅
Ha
I was a sophomore in high school when this was performed. I had his pictures all over my bedroom. No one like Bowie. Miss him and my best wishes to Iman and Lexi
I became a Bowie fan after Diamond Dogs came out and he toured locally. Bought his posters and waited always impatiently for his next album. Remember at the time he was so controversial and now he is held in almost historical praise.
Agree .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
I cried listening to this... RIP to one of the greatest artists to ever bless this blue floating ball...
there are two of us crying Major Tom
The people in the audience look stoned out of their minds.
D.B García there're just mesmerised....
and stoned... very stoned.
Probably but they also look in awe
That guy in the beginning was no doubt 😄
ha ha hey they sure do it s the 70 s man
I actually love this more than the studio version. I love how drugged out it sounds, everything is stretched until it almost breaks, and the mellotron and Bowie hit notes together at 3:42 and 5:35 that sound so melancholy. Beautiful reinterpretation of a classic
I disagree
It is not better or worse than the studio version, just different. Diversity and variety are the spice of life.
His vocals at those particular time stamps are incredible
@@spectxre Best part?
I was at this show in Los Angeles. It was amazing. A lot of Ziggy replicas in the audience, but he had moved on from that. I wore an aqua blue t-shirt with a parrot on it with a rhinestone eye. It felt perfect. Love Bowie for everything he did.
Lucky you! By any chance did you take any photos, recordings, etc at the show?
I was there too... for two shows at Universal Amphitheatre (when it had an open roof). I had seen Bowie for the first time in 1973 at the Long Beach Arena, so this was my second time. So much fun.
@@dyermaker4731 I didn't have a camera. . I still have my tee shirt, ticket stub and program though.
@@robertrohwer3393 so cool.
1974 - Montreal Forum - Diamond Dogs
The video is from 1974 my year of birth. It was uploaded on 11 November on my birthday 2016. The year David left. Well, if that's not a sign. He will always remain a light and my sign in life until my death.
"I'm just a space cadet and he's the commander."
Happy 74th bday tomorrow. Classiest best singer of all time. Hard to believe you' ve been gone 5 yrs...world isnt as bright without you.
I'd buy out a movie theatre just so I could play this video on a large screen it's so fucking immersive and otherworldly.
Bowie forever❤️
Krystal Rose thanks, Krystal.

Teatral, surreal, emocionante , impecável e inesquecível. Bowie, como você fez diferença nesse mundo, obrigado.
Right on Emerson, right on!!!❤️
Amo❤👨🎤⚡ Ano que Nasci!!🥰🎶🤘
This is one of my fave Diamond Dogs tour tracks - the slower tempo really gives the vocals room to breathe and DB puts so much emotion into his singing. Wish I could have been there, but I consider myself lucky as hell to have seen him live at all - truly a once-in-a-universe talent.
Agree .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
I love the silent "wow" from the audience member about halfway. I can't believe 50 years have lapsed in my life. Still get a throat lump.
David’s VOICE ❤
Brilliant version. I love this song. It is so simple, but so complex at the same time. His vocals on this version are outstanding.
Just cried! It's hard not to when you realise that the kid at the beginning is probably *bald* now. It's just so bloody _tragic_.
But he met David Bowie!
Or dead
@@Claudia11613 your statement is true as it's where everyone goes, no matter who you are, Bowie or otherwise as no one can escape the inevitability of life!
It's all just change.

Not everyone, there is a generation that will not taste death. This one.....

I'm 68 and when I get a message they say ground control to Maher Tom.
come on everybody ! I read only one people who noticed how amazing is the vocal performance ?!? You're all serious talking about everything but not the evidence ?
This performance is by far oustanding and unusual. Bowie accurately used the slow pace of this version to finally give the song what it should has always been. Space Oddity has met its soul on this night, Major Tom is now floating for real. The vocal rythms leaves me speachless. The melody eacaped the too much 60's original score. It became a pure lyric moment. Thank you Mr Bowie, I could never appreciate Space Oddity another way.
.
Agree, Alex - a wonderful vocal.
Thank you so much Nacho to let this video available. I cant stop listening to it every day.
so...
Add me to the list as noticing the vocals right away - sent me floating away with him. He's my hero, always was and will be. StarMan is now a star in another realm...
I like the remastered version, in my opinion the pace and vocals are way better.
We never deserved a man like David Bowie. RIP.
Testimony to Bowie’s musical and theatrical genius.
I was there! I still miss him. 🥲
I saw David Bowie, in 1977, in Dallas TX. I was 15 yrs. old, & I still have the Ticket-Stub! I moved out of TEXAS, forever, when I was 20 yrs. old. David Bowie didn't sell even half the seats to the Dallas Convention Center. Because there are many FOOLS in Texas. I can still remember how fantastic, that concert was. 4 yrs. later he went to Dallas/Ft.worth, & sold out in a few hours. I was in BOULDER. CO. by then.
Wonderful. You have created another beautiful waking dream of Bowie for us all to treasure.
Thanks, mate :)

Diamond Dogs Tour: by far the best tour in the history of music
i will love you forever Bowie. I cried when you passed away .
he went home he's not dead
Wow, watching Mr Bowie and enjoying a cup of tea and a biscuit. By the end of the song I was thinking, this Earl Grey is a bit bloody strong.
steve bodman Lol!!!
He died on my birthday. I always looked up at the stars when I was a child and wondered if anyone was looking down at me. My father would play this song all the time and every time I hear it I think about my childhood. Bowie was a genius and I know he is watching all of us. He is a star. And will always be. Even if he is now among them. 💛💙💛💙💛💙
Bowie died on my youngest childs' 18th birthday. And I had food poisoning. Friends jamming my phone with greetings about son, are you OK? Throwing up on self in bed. And then Jesus Wept Bowie is dead. Did not go to work the rest of the week. Friends came over like a family member had passed away, and they were right. The stars look very different tonight.
Very well put. He is the original Starman of the universe.
Only a genius would be able to put himself in the place of an astronaut and express what he would feel in his last moments of life in space.
The 1974 tour was a complete departure from what Bowie had done before. He retired the Ziggy persona and rearranged songs adding horns and a more soul sound. And he added a complex stage setup and dancers, making the show very theatrical. I was lucking to see this tour at the Universal Amphitheater, Los Angeles, where this was filmed (the audio is from a different show).
A lot of kids on LSD in that crowd. LOL! Ah...to be young and free....and in the presence of a rock n roll legend!!! Wow!
that was me at the Aladdin Sane tour. Especially when Bowie would sometimes turn and look at the near empty seats behind the stage, especially when he would notice me and we'd establish eye contact, and once he smiled and I felt like I was inside Five Years. A milestone of my rocked out 70's self.
I was
Bowie, such an authentic, brilliant, artistic, intelectual, chaotic and talented man, turned into Stardust⭐️✨
His art will never die!💓
He was so complex,multiple,achieved,talented,sensitive and aware person...he was unique!..There are very few who can touch everybody's soul like he can.Miss you Duke.
I do believe he was not of this earth. I believe he was an angel walking among us.
I saw this show in Boston right before they curtailed the tour because it was bleeding money. So very,very far ahead of its time. Indelible memories .
Lucky you! By any chance did you take any photos, recordings, etc at the show?
@@dyermaker4731 No, but check out the " David Live" album, which was recorded in Philly a few days later. Ahead of its time.
Yes we were stoned out of our minds as he controlled us...He was what we needed at the time as we transported ourselves outside of reality.
A song for David Bowie
From whence you came I do not know,
The Earth gravitated to your life show,
In your wildest garb of colour and style,
You made our world so worthwhile.
Your music will live for centuries ahead,
Down through history one will have read,
Here was a man who touched our lives,
His musicality forever in eternal archives.
It was a privilege to see you in Reality!
You had the gift of unending vitality,
Farewell our knight in shining star dust,
Light up the galaxies as we adjust.
Jan 10th 2016..........my farewell to you
Missing you today Jan 29th 2017 and every day
Missing you today Jan 30th 2019
Missing you today Feb 29th 2020
That's such beautiful words and sums the gentleman that was our Mr David Bowie. Always remember & always listening xxx

wherever you are
Angelo Rossi I’m actually sad I wasn’t born early enough to enjoy this era
just keep listening to his music old and new like the good old days you should feel good and bring back memories when he was here
Indeed
Same
His music is timeless. It will last the ages. Even now it seems music from Bowie and Marc Bolan are featured in more movie soundtracks and commercials than anyone.
Still have all my vinyl Bowie albums.
They are priceless.
I am 62.
Hermoso tesoro.
Superbe .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
I'm really miss u, major tom.
I was born too late to really get to appreciate his music. I wish I could have had a hug from him. I keep running into people who said they have met him. They all say that Bowie was such a gentleman.
Wonderful song. Love the melancholic singing style and using the red phone as a microphone. And the cherry picker to simulate above the moon. Classic song, great musicians, and wonderful theatrics. Would have loved to have seen that concert of post Ziggy Bowie. Halloween Jack was a great character.
Saw this concert 7/5/74 week before he recorded this album in Philadelphia saw it in Charlotte and was blown away should have done a concert movie about this 😎
Lucky you! By any chance did you take any photos, recordings, etc at the show?
There may be some stoned people in this audience.

You just might be right 😆
This man is amazing beyond words. Starman, you'll always be in our hearts.
The most perfect live perfomance ive ever seen. What a legend damn
In every generation there is one 😢person who has such a great impact on many millions of other people. You can say it 🆎 about R.I.P. Bruce Lee who won’t be another like him, or R.I.P. David Bowie which on the same way he influenced so many other people that’s really very hard to believe that will be another like 👍🏾 him . And you also can say it about so many other people who are so much attractive by their assertiveness on millions of others . Sadly there won’t be other people who will be such assertive like him .
What an amazing version of an extraordinary song, miss you Bowie!!
That's remarkable: a live version that is more oniric than the original one
Whenever I hear this I burst out in tears and somehow think that David is up there in his tin can waiting for us to join him. Side note , I get a kick out of the kids faces, there in awe....as well they should be.
Always loved his music and his incredible creativity. Self evident shyness in this early 1970 appearance in spotlight illustrates so clearly why he created personalities and personas and provided disarming and at time stunning misleading anecdotes to journalists. I think this self effacing habitual shyness was another endearing quality of this often misunderstood genius.
Saw this concert tour in August, 1974--he sat in that seat on the end of this crane, hovering up in the air above the audience...before the Universal Ampitheater was enclosed--it was open air then, perfect performance!
Magnetico, brillante, geniale, astrale David Bowie
WHAT great musician our generation had , no one can TAKE that away from us.
I am so freaking happy I saw him in concert 35 times and of course I wish it were more!
That's incredible! By any chance did you take any photos, recordings, etc at the shows
@@dyermaker4731 Thanks. I've been into his music since 1969. I took a lot of photos during the Diamond Dogs tour in 1974. Never bothered to record any shows because I knew the sound would be kinda shitty.
@@MegaSickcat Fair enough about recording. Have you thought about sharing your photos? They would be invaluable to Bowie fans, no matter the quality
its incredible how much he changed his style in only 2 years
Superbe .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
Pure legend...simple....miss him
Agree .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
I'm 61. Never saw him live. Loved and still love everything he did in every genre. Many famous people passed away during my life. NONE made me feel as sad as I did when I heard he had.
I remember that day well. Just bought his new album a day before and at first thought the news of his death was some kind of morbid album publicity. It was pure Bowie. His passing marked an end of an era I really do believe. One in which will never be equaled again.
I caught Let's Dance tour when he came thru Austin. I hoped hometown hero Stevie Ray Vaughan would show and play his part in the recording of the album. No such luck but it was a great show.
Questa canzone ha più di 40 anni ed è ancora magnifica....grande genio....love Bowie
Agree .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
7:17 Not sure why, but he looks like a sexier version of the Lincoln Memorial statue to me. Anyway, thank you for another wonderful video, Nacho!
I've always thought so too :)
Yeah
Haha, I love that!
Do you buy bags of Nchos balls.
that's funny!! a sexier Lincoln memorial, haha
this is so beautiful, it really feels ethereal as if i am floating through space with his voice, this is genuinely better than the recorded version
He was an angel fallen. No doubt about that. Every star asks for his bless with him.
I saw this show in Boston, MA, in 1974. It was mesmerizing. I'll never forget it.
Superbe .... hope my YT Bowie Interpretations make him smile from far far away.
pure art
How utterly Mesmerizing,to see this video footage! A friend of mine,in Philadelphia,saw the show there,and sent the original Show advertisement,glued to cardboard many years ago.it is in perfect condition! A true treasure!!
今 69才ですが 18才の時からおっかけやってました。一目惚れですが 声が素敵で聞き入ってしまいます。
'I'm just the Space Cadet and he's the commander'. Smashed out of her mind. Ecstasy was a hell of a drug.
Oh my god when he sings the first line. His voice just vibrates though you. You will always be my love David.
Im obsessed w this video David looked and sounded like some omniprescent scifi figure that everyone worships and the way this was shot and edited...it's doing the most (David high on up there looking out while fans are mesmerized by him). The way he sang it slower and deeper really adds to that image
I saw this documentary as a teen. God I feel old!
Summer of 73
Heard this song on the radio
Remember thinking how exceptional it sounded
It saddens me that all we have now are recording’s of this excellent voice. 3 Times in concert just wasn’t enough. RIP Mr. Bowie 💔
I’m crying watching this, oh I wish you were alive to guide me like your lyrics do.
David Bowie was unique .
Incredible! That amazing, distinctive and unmistakable voice! Musical genius, Legend, Icon. Love you forever David ❤️

I saw him in the 70s - wide eyed, completely in awe and sadly not stoned.
Cada vez que escucho esta canción se me encoje el corazón
Probable 1 de las mejores Canciones/20 siglo!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏🧚🏻♀️🐳

I'm 67 yeas old. I've watched every space ship blast off since the first one televised in 1969. Walk on the moon! And the most recent, Saturday, 5/30/2020. Our technology has surpassed my imagination. Nations coming together to achieve our best dreams. Bowie's song fits. We must have been stoned, mesmerized and in awe of the universe back then. But we've achieved so much. Bowie's song fits.
How many people will have had the ability to understand that they were witnessing a miracle of creativity?
Come back Major Tom!!We need you here!Wape away our tears!I watched this video and I wanna be with him,there!Come back Major Tom💟💟💟
Just incredible. Loving this slowed down version.
There'll Never be another One of him 🎸^_^
seeing this live would change your life
This performance makes me feel like my heart is floating.
We were lucky enough to see him in July of '74. Hard to believe he's gone.
Saw this concert in Rochester, NY. My friends & I bought our tickets at the window, all in a row. They were in the back. My seat was 2nd row; center. I was 17. I didn't quite get it. Lol. Great show!
AWESOME SONG,David Bowie….AMAZING ARTIST ❤️
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
