![David Bowie - Life On Mars? (Original Ending Version) [4K Upgrade]](/img/n.gif)
Bowie didn't die, Earth was just a stop on his tour.
amazing comment!
You’re damn right.
This is the most beautiful comment
And the stars look very different today. 🌟✨⭐️💫
I- 😭
First words spoken on Mars, "Mr. Bowie, the answer is yes."
or "Mr Bowie.... there is life on Mars
yoooo thats genius that should actually happen.
One of the top comments of all time
Thank you for this, my friend
It's yes, because human life arrived
National anthem of mars
David Bowie: says he has laryngitis
Also David Bowie: nails the song 10000000%
He never had laryngitis.
He wanted a sing-a-long.
GravityBoy72 U CALLIN DAVID A LIAR MATE
@@GravityBoy72 You heard him the same as we did.
Poor call to diss a guy who cant defend himself.
@@phat111 Yes.
@@davidmg1925 It was a harmless lie, but still a lie.
The soundtrack of my life wouldn't be complete without the works of this great master. Rest in eternal peace, Starman.
Well said .
Here here
me too cobalt bob
I would be less of who I am without Bowie having ever sung
Truer words have never been spoken.God blessed us to be alive during David's time here.
My dad adored this man. He died back in 2015, I never really listened to Bowie before then but I wanted to get closer to dad even though he isn’t here anymore. So I listened to Bowie and he has impacted me ever since. He is such a genius and I understand why my dad loved him.
Your dad had good taste.
Sorry for your loss, maybe they are mates up in heaven.👍
Hey man , hope you’re still doing well
Exactly the same for me mate, lost my father in October 2015 and found Bowie not long after, was great fun digging through the old man's music collection.
Stay close, Ryan! Lost mine in 2003. I try to!
"Im very fearful tonight cause i got struck down by laryngitis earlier this week"
*sings like this*
What a Fucking LEGEND.
Miss somebody that you never met, bloody Bowie
Genius
Earth has been around for 4.6 billion years and we all happened to have been alive at the same time as David Bowie. How wonderful.
Still watching this legend in 2024
What a brilliant musician, lyricist and vocalist Major Tom was. Stunning.
Not only that, but intelligent and insightful as all hell! Check out his interview with Jeremy Paxman in '99!
In the early Bowie years was actually Mick Ronson the genius behind most of David's work. As people admitted later he was so much more than a guitarist. David then later mastered his craft and became more prolific in writing, arranging and producing. Nobody can take it away from him, but M R was a major force on his early years.
R. I. P. both.
@@fabrix7907 That's a great point. After Ronson left, Bowie took a bit to recover. I love Diamond Dogs and Young Americans, but it wasn't till Station To Station that he really hit his stride again.
Did you know major Tom's a junkie
@@fabrix7907 Ronson was a skilled producer and arranger, but he was not the architect of Bowie's early work. That was Bowie. Ronson was an influence and a creator, but he was not at all the driving force behind Bowie's early work.
Can we just mention the amazing pianist here. Amazing performance.
Why is he reading music though?
@@MrShandydash i love the fact he's reading the music ... sh*t ,,, 9 fingers here, 1 there then jump to that then WTF! ... bit like me doing a recipe sight unseen .... wait for 2hours ... oops
I was in a car park waiting for my father-in-law in Thailand when I clicked on the BBC news website, Do you know where you were? Sad day for me.
Words can’t describe how much David Bowie means. A true master.
And we miss him daily...
Asks crowd to sing along
Starts to sing
Crowd in silent rapture
Legend
Miss you Starman
dont mind me, just crying because I can never experience this live...
Superior & Fabulous ... I hope my David Bowie YT Interpretation songs makes him smile from the other world.
The greatest artist of all time. Without doubt. RIP David Bowie
definitely one of the creative geniuses of modern time
Freddie Mercury disagrees.
@@BAR-id4yz You have a good point XD That being said, Bowie truly was the only artist who could follow Queen.
B AR Both the Beatles and Bowie are a tier above Queen
B AR Freddie Mercury was a good musician and a better performer than David Bowie however Bowie was the better artist
This song makes me get all teary-eyed every time I hear it. Sailors, fighting in the dancehalls ...
Since he left us I cry at every performance no matter which song. But this one, and Wild is the Wind (live) have me crying a river
Absolutely iconic song. 👌🏻
This song is like a fantasy movie with all of its glory and emotional impacts packed into one song.
Stand for the disappointment about some lousy movie topics.
Im sitting here wondering why Im in tears
Mike Garson on piano and Bowie doing the vocals - It doesn't get much better than that.
Imagine writing a song with the name Mickey Mouse, and Norfolk Broads in the lyrics and it becomes one of the writers best loved songs.
The man's vocal range was astonishing (with laryngitis)
Absolutely irreplaceable.
Rest in peace Sir
Hardly - you cannot compare his voice to Freddie, or someone like George Michael - They were both a trillion times better than Bowie, vocally. If you cannot hear that, then you shouldn't be listening to music, and that's not an opinion.
Imagine being a gatekeeper and telling someone they shouldn't listen to music
@@RelativeBadger Straight out bullshit !
George Michael is a STUNNING Singer because of his timbre and beautiful tone. But his Range itself wasnt even that special.
Bowies sheer vocal Range tops Freddies btw...
Bowies Range: B1-Eb6
Freddies: F2-D6
Get your facts straight next time you comment. Because this is no opinion. Its a fact. Bowie had a wider Vocal Range than George Michael and Freddie Mercury.
But its a matter of taste which voice/tone you like/prefer more tho.
Mercury may had a more powerful chest voice but he also wasnt perfect. Especially on live performances. He always avoided climatic high notes and lowered the key of the songs.
@@RelativeBadger You're wrong, that isn't an opinion.
@@RelativeBadger Need a hug?
Just a dude with a VOICE no fancy clothes hairstyle or jewelry needed 💪
The one rock star I think of and miss on a daily basis.
when lana said "life on mars ain't just a song" i felt that
I still miss him badly.
Never get tired of his music.
Your not alone
As well my friend.
Still Can't believe he is gone. Love My Bowie.
He hasn't gone he has simply become music just like Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss.
@@sovaine He's buried in Upstate NY. Literally not far away from me. But Being Bowie...he never said where he was buried.
He was/IS STILL one of my Favorite Musicians.
Absolutely fantastic…and yes, truly out of this world🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just watched the doc "1971 the year that music changed everything" when Bowie wasn't Bowie yet and he played Glastonbury when it was just a Pyramid stage and a smaller field. He went up on stage at about 5:30 am and started singing the bones of what would become "Changes." Then, hanging out in New York with Lou Reed and Warhol he knew he was about to transform into the Ziggy. Then he did and it was brilliant. He said after that first show, "Oh my god, I think we just killed the 60s."
Fucking legend. Never lost it. Always grew. Always shined.
I was at this Glastonbury and could’ve seen Bowie, but I decided to sit in my tent taking drugs instead. Good one.
I love having a smart phone. They're incredible. The connectivity, safety and ability to capture moments in time they bring is incredible.
But....gigs were so, SO much better without them.
Rest well, Star Man.
I shed a tear. Maybe more than one.
David must be living happily on Mars. He wouldn't want to see our world sick right now. A crazy and dying world.
It's Bowie, it's hard to explain.
David will always live forever - In 1000s of years time - They will still be listening to David Bowie songs - When the spacemen does arrive from Mars to Earth and go down the local pub - The landlord will play David Bowie Life on Mars on his jukebox - Hey lads have you heard this song before and the spacemen will say yes of course as David is the number one star in the galaxy.
Where's this awesome movie?
When I saw David Bowie live in concert I wasn’t jumping around and going crazy, I was just memorized by the music and performance by David Bowie. And, that was in 1983.
Mesmerized?
Lets Dance?
I saw him in munich 1983.
16 years old and my heart jumps even today when I remember this great concert.
Sirius black can still belt them out. Rip David
Bowie ,Iggy and Debbie Harry waved to me after an Iggy show in Harvard Square in 1977. There was no one else around. They were in a limo about to speed away. Can you ....imagine? I was 19. Best moment ever. Sometimes the universe IS kind.
Mike Garson with his keyboards is the hero of David's music.
qbear17 Believe Rick Wakeman did the original track
He did. The point still stands though. Mike Garson is one of Bowie’s great standouts.
So true and specially his contribution on the album "Aladdin Sane". Besides Mike the other hero Mick Ronson!
Don't forget about Tony Visconti and Robert Fripp!
Mick Ronson.
Mike Garson is a damn legend. Love how he always plays around a little in between the first chorus and the second verse.
Is that the pianist? He is amazing!
@@bobbybecker6435 Garson was his pianist and friend for 30 years or more. Aladdin Sane was his show
Listen to the guitar on Aladdin Sane and you'll appreciate it was a triumvirate! Ronson's work there, although less showy than Garson's piano is amongst his best with Bowie ...... and that has to be good!
I believe that the original album version was Rick Wakeman, on piano.
Correct Sir.
magic
“I’ve had laryngitis “ - then f*****g nails it. Evidence that the man was a god!
Legend behavior
I am proud that I lifed in a times with David Bowie, Freddy Mecury, Lemmy Kilmister, Keith Flint and I am sad for upcoming generations......
Bowie remains one of the greatest artist/songwriter/ of all time. He just can't be equalled.
Freddie
@@gantz0949 nah - in my opinion Freddy is somewhat overrated
@@JJFHNREHJEDK wow😲 Freddie had s waaay better voice with waaaay better range. Freddie also had way better stage command. He rocked out all of Wembley.
@@gantz0949 Tbf thinking about it I don't disagree - I guess I just prefer Bowie's style of music
@@gantz0949 yes but in songwriting bowie was leagues ahead
How I miss him, deeply. What a loss for humanity...
So, I'm about 15 y.o. in about 1982, I go downtown to my city, and I do what my knowledgeable friend Kristian said to do and I bought 4 David Bowie albums (because hey, hey was the greatest male artist ever). I walked in the door at the house and my staunch Catholic mother says "Oh, my God no, you are not listening to that freak, not in my house" blah blah .... and I can tell you now, I am so glad I did because his art and his life so affected mine. DB (db) was a gift to the world of everything art, talent and entertainment.
Still remember the sadness I felt the day he passed away, Jan. 10, 2016. R.I.P. Starman/Ziggy/Thin White Duke.
Same. I rarely am sad when a famous person dies. I mean, I feel bad, but that's about it. When Bowie died I felt like the world shifted.
I remember I was at school, working. Had to turn on the computer and, completely out of the blue, I read Bowie was dead. I started crying. I did not want anybody to see that but could not help it. (Sorry for my bad English.)
I was awoken in the morning, by my mother who told me he had died, I couldn’t believe it at first, I thought she might of got mistaken for someone else, but no, it was Bowie who had passed, and I was just stunned, then started crying.
The sound quality on this is so much better than the version that was televised last weekend
I assume this is the BBC iPlayer version
You should hear the dvd version, here the audio it's overcompressed, maybe some kind of mastering or broadcast audio process, not bad, but in the dvd the audio has more dynamics. The bbc audio engineers are among the best in the world. Sorry for my english, greetings from Argentina.
He knew things, an indigo, an old soul, totally smashing it, as only he knows how.
why does this not have 100 trillion views?
The way he slightly lowered the key and his little inflection changes are so incredibly tasteful. I like it as much as the studio version.
Bowie's song help me going to my struggle everyday. I have anxiety, thousands of failures in my life. I have mental issues.. fear of rejected, doing wrong, mock, anything. I hope someday i really can be a rocket scientist. Especially his songs are all about space exploration..
Firstly, I hope this finds you in a better place. Secondly, if you haven't listened to the albums 'Low' and 'Heroes' and consider where Bowie was emotionally when those were made.
You've got this.
@@mediocrefunkybeat thanks for your kind word.. i just lost my day 2 months ago. seems i have to live with my anxiety. Idk i felt like when im bout to do something new, there will be lot of rejections n failures along the way.
@@ganbatte1260 It doesn't go away but you learn to manage it over time. Small steps towards your goals and don't beat yourself up if you have any setbacks. The fact that you have setbacks means that you're trying.
@@mediocrefunkybeat yesss.. thanks... i wish u all the best also man. thanks for motivating me :)
Music is your medicine 😊
There will be life on mars
The greatest artist of all time. Without doubt.....Miss D.B forever...R.I.P
David didn't just die: he went to meet Ray Bradbury up there on Mars.
And, if you could look closely, the Great Red have now two new bright Moons out there.
Dissatisfied Teenager: is there anything new under the sun? Gosh life sucks. ...that experience put into a poem..great stuff.
The words 'Star' and 'Genuis' are often over-used today, but David was the real deal. His music is a wonderful and permanent legacy - RIP x
Bowie- "The best selling show" RIP
The greatest
One of the greatest songs ever written
Absolute legend. One of a kind artist!!
Legends don’t die, they just become stars for us to look upon on a clear sky. RIP David. You are truly missed.
BLACKSTAR
Bowie was so cool.
His hair looks amazing
Why am I crying
Quando ascolti David ti accorgi che non sei solo, ci sono le sue canzoni a tenerti compagnia. Grazie David
From another Planet.
He has a fantastic voice you know his distinctive voice anywhere a showman
Bowie. How do you feel so close to a legend you never met.
~ Holly, I think it is because David, through all his guises and eventually his most naked and visceral periods, always let us see something of the man behind the masks; he was a peculiar kind of chameleon, one that let you see his shape. To put it more clearly, perhaps, Bowie gave us more of his real personality than he ever let on. He was a tremendously important figure in 20thC early 21stC culture. I miss him terribly.
Fabulous ... I hope my David Bowie YT Interpretation songs makes him smile from the other world.
Perfection does exist. David Bowie is proof. A perfect moment in infinite time and space.
I miss him so much.....he is 100% in my life from 1971, and he will never leave me, thanks God..... The world is upp side down...but we still have David Robert Jones to comfort us...
Saw DB twice, once as a sideman with Iggy in 1977, and on the Serious Moonlight tour
of 1983. The work he produced between 1970 - 80 still remains peerless.
Hard to believe he was 53, at the time of this performance!
Bowie was a class act. We won't see his likes again.
Rob Jones ‘it’s true, we never will. The Master Blaster.
Although Ziggy Stardust is a better album overall, Hunky Dory has some of the best songs in popular music history. This one included.
hunky dory is better in my opinion
they’re both his best
although low is even better than both
@@Jack-ry7fl I don't know man, Low's instrumentals are rather weak. I'd say Station to Station or Scary Monsters.
@@Neuroneos oh yeah, for me station to station is a close second
He is the very best of everything. So much drama and passion, enough for a life time indeed. Had the entire audience totally and completely captivated though the entire song. He will live on in our hearts for years to come and continuing to influence todays artists. There will never be another like him. Cheer's to you, David, rest in peace my brother.
Love you forever 💗💕😘🙏
masterpiece
Hey kids, this is what a rock star looks like!
David Bowie always delivered. Watch any video of any concert at any stage in his career and he was always, always on top form. A master of the stage, amongst so many of his talents.
We're so glad you came to see us, coz you really blew our minds
He was the greatest
Exceptional performance. The pianist too deserves an ovation.
It's no wonder why everyone loves David Bowie.
The unique Voice , The elegant Performance, The extraordinary Melodies, The Storytelling in his Songs: London Boys, Aladdin Sane, Heroes, ..... David Bowie took us all on a wild musical journey - from earth to mars and back
Imagine if they put a speaker on the rover and this as the only song it could play. It would be cool af
They did, but it also had laryngitis and didn't cope quite as well
@@Googlesucks123 look at this kid he thinks he’s funny
Damn! We must start a movement
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
We get it bro you know the lyrics
@@rayburn8282 😂
Missing live music I came here to get my fix in these strange and uncertain times.
I started going to Glastonbury in 2002 so just missed this :(
There is no better place to watch headline act than the Pyramid Stage
His voice ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS makes my goosebumps have goosebumps...
Fabulous ... I hope my David Bowie YT Interpretation songs makes him smile from the other world.
Every single performance is 100+ %
David nous manque beaucoup
Bowie lives in a station on the moon now.
Mi esposa volvió del trabajo y me encontró llorando frente al monitor de mi PC abrazando a mi gata Runa mientras sonaba este tema. Aun siento mi corazon tambalearse cuando escucho tan hermosa voz
What a beautiful human being David
This was one of the greatest nights of my life. To be in the presence of Him was truly divine!
i'm going to cry... his hair is so awesome ahhh everything about him is just perfect
Bowie passed in 2015 but he lives on forever.
The Incredible, Unique, Great Thin White Duke✨Thanks for passing on Earth❤
Glastonbury 2000 So many fond memories. Bowie returned with a vengeance.
The first two minutes the crowd are silent. The crowd are hanging on to his every word and just tuned in to Ultra Classic Bowie.
i love him so much
Bowie was and still is a legend ❤
This is the single best performance of any song on CZcams.
