The audience seems dead ... I would have been jumping six foot high! That said, why isn't there dancers or some backup singer or something players ... The song is so good. Bowie shouldn't have to be working so hard ...
Bowie, the chameleon, doing some kind of "Jungle/Drum and Bass" music...Bought the album on a special offer not long after it was released, and it remains one of Bowie's best opus in his 45 years discography...
My dad went to see him live and he also got a autograph from bowie now that autograph hangs on my wall in my bedroom! And whenever I look at it it reminds me of this music video because it was the one he saw live R.I.P. Bowie ❤
I suddenly had that song stuck in my head after not having listened to it for 20 years, I guess? Loved that song as a kid, David Bowie will never be forgotten 🤘
One of my most favourite songs in Bowies massive catalog of songs and shows his remarkable talent, I often find this song to be overlooked at just how amazing it is!
I saw this performed on some Late Night show in the mid 90’s (maybe SNL) when I was in my young teens and became an instant David Bowie fan. Went and bought Earthling soon after.
The songs/music he was trying to mimic had passed him by & he was trying to catch up. You can't stay young forever , great song probably better than what he was trying to emulate. Good night David Bowie ( Buddha of suburbia is a classic )
Well, I'm sure he happened to like Drum 'n Bass / Jungle as he mentions it the earthling interview. But the genre isn't for everyone. A lot of his work involved taking trends and attempting to master them so my guess is he enjoyed it as a sort of challenge. I'm a fan of Jungle music and I very much enjoy how he managed to give his on twist to the genre like he has done to other genres in the past.
