I love the way David gets away with basically singing a harmony part for the melody at the beginning , not the first time I've seen him do it, either! He did a cameo with Pink Floyd, sang Comfortably Numb, and did the same thing! The pianist realized what he was doing and provided the melody and it was so awesome!😁💖
I don't think it was a case of "the pianist" suddenly realising what he was doing. Richard Wright always sang that part of the song, they simply harmonized according to each of them's timbre and range.
David Bowie is amazing. He doesnt move from that one spot on the stage (save for the solo), yet he fucking commands that stage. That man is charisma incarnate. Combine that with Lou Reed's amazing guitar playing and you have pure win. Awesome.
Ha this performance was good. Reed just bobbing there with hid guitra watching Bowie sing his song, I must say, Bowie definitely OWNS the stage here! And ha, I love how he breathes into the microphone at the end.
this is about the 5th amazing bowie cover ive favorited on youtube. he never ceases to amaze me, how he can turn a great influence into something completely his own, like he did with this song and queen bitch from hunky dory
@SatanicMajesty Yes!!!!!!!! Bowie adds pure magic to all the other people's music he's been involved with. Even if it's backing vocals , he steals the show often!!!! His influence can't be overestimated!!!!!!!!!
In the foreground is a long-time Bowie band member, Miss Gail Ann Dorsey. She usually plays bass but can play other instruments. And she's excellent singing background vocals. She's toured the world over with Bowie.
Me deprime un montón saber que voy a morir sin ver en vivo a Lou Reed y a David Bowie. Lo único que me da felicidad es haber visto a Morrissey, ese momento es imborrable!
Listen Waiting for the Man from the same Concert(Bowies 50th Birthday-Party in 1997) then you can hear sing them together!! (Also on Queen Bitch!) I`m really sad,that they didn´t much more together! Another example is Hop Frog from The Raven-Album! But sadly it`s just a Little more than 2 min. short! Two really giftet Musicians!! I listen now 30 Years to them,put I never get borred one Moment!
+Morag MacGregor LOL song is bad enough even Lou Reed couldn't f**k it up! He didn't even try though, just stood there. Probably his best performance ever... I'm thinking his mic was unplugged!
