BOWIE COVERS ELVIS ~ LIVE 2002 

AND HE KNEW IT BELIEVE U ME!!!⚡T.C.B

Yes it would. But probably a different one

@@ivankaramasov Nah.

@@johnnyrocker7495 If you think Elvis was Bowie's biggest influence, you know nothing about him.

@@ivankaramasov You know nothing about what I'm thinking.

And how are you privy to that factoid?

Thanks for the thanks much appreciated

David had a nearly supernatural ability to mimic voices. I've heard sing part of a song and ask the people around him (he was making a movie at the time) "Who am I now?" He did Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townsend, Mick Jagger, Jerry Lee Lewis, Richard Roundtree, Prince, Mick Jagger and many others. It was a 'Wow! OMG!" moment for everyone there. Plus David had a photographic memory for anything he had read, and he had read A LOT! Reading was a way to clear his head and relax from tension. He tried to hide how brilliant he actually was.

Allan E Shady , oh right! Thanks for revealing this! sttgaegoaktd

same

with stephen hawkings.

Also shared the same record label, RCA Victor.

Thanks for the thanks as always much appreciated

"Born on the same day, so he gets all the birthday shit." Bowie knew who The King was.

@@johnnyrocker7495 SPOT ON!

Didn't bowie seeing Elvis at madison Square garden inspire him to become ziggy? I'm sure he flew from London to New York as bowie the folk singer and after seeing Elvis for an hour flew back to London from New York as rockstar ziggy lol Also in attendance for those 4 shows he did at madison square garden were George Harrison and rumour John lennon turned up for one of them

Yeah made me chuckle when I first heard it

@@TheMickyt69 LMAO! Beautiful stuff.

@Itsonly Me you´re right, sorry, made a mistake in the english language there :)

Agree on most everything you say. Wish the jumpsuits had gone after that Hawaii charity Special too. (Seen by one billion people worldwide via satellite.) Wish impersonator's never existed. Ugh. BUT, I saw him starting in '69 Vegas and my Gosh, never have I seen anything like that in my life. The charisma, aura surrounding him, gorgeousness of him and talent was almost more than I could take. And, on into the 70's, he was still awesome in Vegas and in my city. Sadly after Priscilla left, he went spiraling down. It wasn't just her, it was all he endured as the first major icon. I watched it all in Vegas, but was so mesmerized by the man, just didn't notice until hindsight set in.

@@keetonplace Yes , I have to say he still had what it took to be a cut above the rest at the time of 69 and even on to around 74/5 ish . Don't get me wrong, I loved him and his music until his far too early and always will. But I think he had lost his edge as he had just a few years before. He was only 42 at his time of death. That is still young. Unfortunately , he never had enough people around him that cared enough! Tom Parker was a carnival shark! He only had one thing that concerned him and that was money! Elvis could have been bigger than he was. If it is possible to be hailed bigger than a king. He had much more than just a fantastic singing voice. He could have become a great actor too, had he been given the chance by his horrible manager. He had been restricted from doing things that every other singer took for granted. Such as touring Europe . Parker kept Elvis on a leash and cared nothing for him. I don't know how you feel! But I hate the fact that since Elvis died , Priscilla has used his name constantly to keep herself in the limelight and obviously for money. She was part of the reason he spiralled into a bad place in the first place, because she left him. She acts like they were still married. They were not!

I agree and a great selection from David

Elvis the best of history W the King

ha ha plzed you Like it lol

Yeah, it's David Bowie doing a Elvis song.

It's available as a bootleg, the entire show - 'You're Gorge-ous'

@@jimpartridge3936 Thanks

I was there

My buddy recorded it...don't pay anyone for a bootleg, you can download it for free! Easily one of the best shows I ever saw him perform, I had my (then) two year old son with me down by the stage, he was hypnotized by Bowie, couldn't take his eyes off of him (not that I could either for that matter)...

He was paying a tribute to elvis he was a fan so not horrible at all

@Max Lannon Love Elvis Love Bowie Regards from Scotland

I was at the show! as far as I know, this was the only time he sang these songs live and he did so as a tribute as the show was on the 25th anniversary of Elvis' death. My friend recorded (bootlegged) the audio, but I didn't see any other recording gear, audio or video...

WTF?

No way. You need to listen to more Elvis if you think that.

Love the King and the Duke...but Elvis IS the voice.

You definitely haven't heard enough Elvis to make that assumption.

@@raymondturner1478 absolutely right brother, people these days have no clue what kind of voice Elvis really had.

I thought he could have shown more complete respect of the King. "I Feel So Bad". Good choice. It's a beauty. Gonna play it now. (Elvis)

Elvis the best of history W the King e ciao dall'Italia

Hey Jon haha I'm still loving Bowie 😁💜

12 years later 1947:)
