David Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans (Live) 

The more I see of Bowe, the more I appreciate him as the absolute best ever.

Genius never expires, it lives on…

This song was way ahead of it's time! I'm afraid of us too. RIP David Bowie!

This is the best backing band, and the best live version of I'm Afraid of Americans. I hope it never leaves RU-vid. RIP

I was 13 when this song came out. I didn't appreciate David's music back then. Well. Better late than never, right? 👍😉

this performance is simultaneously so hilarious and menacing

David Bowie - vocals, guitar, saxophone, harmonica, stylophone Earl Slick - guitar Gerry Leonard - guitar, keyboards, backing vocals Mark Plati - guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals Gail Ann Dorsey - bass guitar, guitar, backing vocals Sterling Campbell - drums, percussion Mike Garson - keyboards Catherine Russell - keyboards, percussion, backing vocals

If we weren’t afraid then, we are now

Holy shit the drums and guitar make everything so much better.

David Bowie … Rocks so High.. another Universe… brilliance!

best version of this song! very powerful!!

True king. Bowie was and is AMAZING

So glad I saw him in concert 5 times, in the USA shows and Europe. Charisma, talent, good humor and rock star!

Rest in Peace. I know it's crazy but as a 23 year old dingus, I thought this guy would outlive my grandchildren. You had a great run and stayed classy to the end.

The synonim of real artist. Long live starman

He's not only the most charismatic, artistic genius who has created so much beauty in this world, but he knows how to have fun and make us smile at the same time. And he's so handsome while he's doing it, just love it ♥

Oh comme il manque au monde ! comme il me manque !

This is some heavy rock and roll power.

The world lost you too soon Mr. Bowie. May you Rest In Peace ❤

Been listening to this a lot lately. Rings SO true, especially now! Bowie's genius keeps growing, even in death. RIP 🐐

cant stop watching this

I love this song. I will never forget the great songs & influence of David Bowie

09/11/2016: Song of the day.

Excellent performance with a maximum give of energy. I never seen Bowie in a any song with a big energy and strength as in I'm afraid of Americans.

That bass guitar work is just.......amazing

Grazie Mr. Jones per la tua musica e il tuo sorriso...ci manchi moltissimo....love Bowie

55 years young!

I love this song so much. Dammit. I wish he was still here. Small of me, since I never met him, but even so, what magic that man could do.

1/10/2021 5 years we lost him. I am crying my eyes out and watching & listening his music all day. Cannot believe he is really gone and for so long. My Hero.

watching all the versions of this song before I pick one to be the official soundtrack for the next four hundred years.

Pure magic

Such a confident performer. Excellent.

This is one kick as tune and David is so funny as he imitates Johnny! Just love this version.

best performance of this song...funny, sexy, and hard core Bowie

Für viele und auch für mich, der beste Musiker den es je gegeben hat! Er hat Lieder geschrieben, die man nie vergessen wird! Danke David Bowie!

This is the live version with less distortion than the rest I’ve seen. Better!

The ROCK MESSIAH, WE WILL MISS YOU!

A life well-lived. Thank you for sharing it with us, in all of your forms. Planet Earth is certainly blue right now. (Or at least a very many of us Earthlings are.)

wow yes what a live performance this is!

I'm Afraid Of Them Too

This performance of this song is just the best! He is so funny and it is so kick ass. They really jam out on this version! I just love it. Even his attire is all American! "Johnny want to think of a joke", and hits the side of his head, like Johnny's a dumb f**k! So funny the look on Bowies face as he does that! Just love him. He was so funny.

It doesn't get better than this.

Repose en paix David. N'ai pas peur. Tu as fait ma vie en musique, toutes les étapes... Je suis si triste... Karine.

So bad ass,the best of this song,killin it Earl.

speechless...

Amazing performance

Magic performance!! David Bowie is God!! 😍😘😚😙

I Really wanna see Bowie Live

Just Perfect Perfection

As an American, I’m afraid of (other) Americans too, Bowie 👍🏽

Yeah, Unbelievable Rock Star ✴️ I saw David Bowie, live at The Tower Theater in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1975, or 1976.. can't quite remember exactly when.. but WOW‼️‼️‼️ Then I watch 6, more of his concerts.. and each and every time he was SPECTACULAR.. I miss David Bowie.. Immensely...

Damn this song is Great. Hard rock roll

David and band are awesome!!

😢❤I got to Meet David and Iman Jones. They were So Nice 😊

Title theme song for the tv series Berlin Station. So good.

Great David!!!...

This is the best of several live renditions of this song I’ve seen and it’s my favorite because it rocks but clean rock sounds, the others used way too much distortion.

er hat so viel glück. cause he s great. this is db. a great man.

Wish he was my dad

Drummer hits like one Bonham did back in the days. This band has quite a massive groove. I just saw this at a 1st time. 10/10.

Just awesome my big Idol 💕

im just in love of David..

Co-written by Brian Eno. No wonder it's so brilliant.

DB is still the best of the best! Bowie was a freaking genius artist, songwriter and performer!!! Sorry Beyonce... you're not even close:)

Earl Slick and company,fantastic.

First time looking for a live version of this song and I found the best one, lucky!

Good quality! Man! It's crazy how missed this! 😂
