@@linusbennemann6981 I think it's the 1973 concert at the Hammersmith Odeon, London. I think this is from the film of the concert - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
Ronno's guitar solo was done withing 10feet of me. The girl that made a grab for him, causing him to be pulled back by the stagehand was stood next to me nearly at front of the stage. One of the greatest memories of my life ❤
Couldn't agree more. I was born in 68' and always thought the music and the rebellious long hair, muscle cars, and everything about what the older kid's on the block were into was just so cool, and because of going to the roller rink, starting in the mid 70's, I knew a lot of the music. Bought Aerosmith "Toys" used in 1976 for $3. (1st Album) Then starting my 8th grade yr 81/82 things started to really change in So CA, and by my Freshman year the Stray Cats were the biggest thing and most everyone was cutting their hair, and if you didn't you were classified as a burnout. Just funny when now in 2022 that is the most listened to decade, because it had the best music. More than that ppl are paying to go see those groups that seemed old when I was in HS almost 40 years ago, and the acts are getting millions from Spotify.
How the fuck does this have so few views? This is the pinnacle of a genre and one of Bowie's incarnations. And Ronson was amazing on this, not to mention the mesmerized teenage groupies. This is a phenomenal pin in the history of rock and roll.
TOTALLY AGREEEEE. the pinacle ..he started the whole theatricle rock anti-hero stuff..predecessor to punk rock..mick ronson and bowie are phenomenal here..the rocking of the chicks up front who know every word the song is priceless..what atime capsule of the height of ZIGGY!!!
Mick's contribution to early Bowie is really understated..His playing is really masterful, his feel, his tone..he made his own path and we are all the better for it musically.
You are right... it is a combination of great song writing, theatre, charisma, art and balls... it has so much confidence and machismo in the performance... the combination of the sound and the visuals is amazing... so many emotions on human faces in that video, none of this prebaked, controlled crap... the moves are rehearsed but the emotions are raw and as exhilarating as the guitar sound
Completely different but Jim Morison from The Doors and Bowie share that same hypnotic, electrifying stage presence. This was him already at the top of his game and it was still early in his career. He would stay on top for the rest of his musical life. Gone and missed so terribly by many people including me. He truly was a one of a kind, there will never be another David Bowie, many imitators but none as original and true as he was with the Spiders from Mars who were all amazing instrumentalists. Mick Ronson was an absolute beast on guitar. Brought so much to the party of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. RIP Mick and David.
good obesrvation...bowie saw morrison live in england in '68. he was also very tight w/ iggy pop as far back as '70. at that time, iggy himself had hung w/ morrison some, since both were on the same label for a short period of time.... I always thought the story of ziggy was at its bones, morrison. bowie added the asian, glam, sci fi androgyney twist to it, but the rock martyr & projection was clearly morrison influenced.... the both had eyes like screen play writers & director conceptual minds. its why they transformed what a lead could project on stage.
Definitely Bowie's best incarnation! He was almost other worldly as Ziggy. The Spiders were a hugely a underrated band too. A truly world class performance from all of them!
Love how Mick and Bowie do the stance~walk in unison together, great performance art and fabulous musicians. When Mick points his lethal weapon guitar at the audience and it blasts off unbridled into the atmosphere..Whew!! 😅
Bowie was so ahead of his time,i remember when my brother 1st played me Space Oddity,i thought that was the most brilliant song that's ever been recorded,and i was just 10 years old
I'm an alligator I'm a mama-papa comin' for you I'm the space invader I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you Keep your mouth shut You're squawking like a pink monkey bird And I'm bustin' up my brains for the words Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah! Don't fake it baby, lay the real thing on me The church of man, love Is such a holy place to be Make me baby, make me know you really care Make me jump into the air Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah! Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah! Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah! Freak out, far out, in out
Thank you for this so much! I love this song and I had so many of the verses wrong! That squawking like a pink monkey bird line. I thought it was I smoke a lot of big monkey bird! Lol I was born in 77 I always put on bully by my girlfriend's dad he used to listen to old classic rock from back in the day he made me a fan of a lot of bands but he'd always throw on the fancy hundred this CD changer back in 93! And play me all the classics! I was wearing tie-dye shirts after that! He'd tell me the band's names the song and their history before he played it. he was like a human music trivia guy! I remember bringing CDs over and he actually like the grunge band that bring over there.The Big Three, especially Alice in chains.
How impossible is it that Mick can share a stage with Bowie at this time and be just as big a rock star. I don't know that another guitarist in rock history could have done this.
When Bowie first saw Ronson he imagined him as his very own Jeff Beck. The idea being that Ronson, like Beck, was his own man, but one who would enhance the music exponentially, which he did. Over the years Bowie used different musical directors for his live bands. Ronson was the blueprint.
Amazing as it was the first time I heard it, or more. RIP.. Sorry to see our rock gods going and not much replacing them. Bowie and Ronson were always, are always, my heart.
Sadly, the golden age of rock music is long gone. More sadly, g-banger rappers have become the new rock stars. It's truly a sad world we're living in now. Although (regardless of whether one loves of hates her, I think she's great) the spirit of Bowie is alive and well in Lady G.
So true ... I try to keep his music relevant and love doing covers on YT ... I had a dream and the name 'Space Boy' seemed apt ... all for fun and in admiration,
my heart is racing watching this....wow.....this is what Rock N' Roll was always and will always be about. The younger artists need to watch this because it's an absolute clinic on how to be apex rock stars
this was just phenomenal at the odeon last monday - the whole entire film was so incredible. i hope everyone gets a chance to see it when it hits global cinemas very soon ♥️♥️♥️
It’s very rare for anyone to steal the thunder from Bowie - and contrary to popular opinion, even Freddie didn’t really outshine Bowie at Live Aid. Ronson was a true rock guy - a natural musician rather than a mechanical guitar wizard. And he was gifted with the looks and demeanour of a guitar god to boot - in the class of greats like Beck, Rhoads, “Fast” Eddie Clarke...
Randy Rhoads wasn't a Ronson fan for nothing. He always said that Ronson was one of his favorite players. Although what Rhoads did was different in scope, you can hear some of Ronson's snarly tone in Randy Rhoads' tone.
Mick Ronson definitely in my top 5 rock guitarists of all time - Mick Taylor, Duane Allman, David Gilmour and Warren Haynes round out my faves with Hendrix and Santana close behind. I'm sure people have their own favorites, so these are just mine. And other folks on here are right - the mid 60s through the 70s were awesome for music and probably why even younger generations can't get enough.
My fave guitarists - Blackmore (hands down, fave musician too along with Jon Lord and Ian Paice), Mick Mars, Ronno. Steve Stevens, “Fast” Eddie Clarke (check out his blistering solo on “Please Don’t Touch” with Kelly Johnson). Rhoads, Santana, Derringer, and Pagey are cool too.

this is not with Bowie, and it was doctored for promo purposes, but it's a pretty good second dose of inspired playing by Mick: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y15iusA4ylc.html
He’s so amazing! Not any thousands of hot men or more can compare to the sexiness, charisma, and mysterious aura and his awesome talent! Love forever David Bowie 👩🏻🎤💫 Super cute the fan she is totally interpreting his text with gestures at 0:45 min 💜
I'm 73 & so lucky to have seen him live 3 times, love him now as I did before he was famous.What took everyone so long to see what a genius talent he was. Cried so hard when he passed, in rock & roll heaven with the others who left us to soon. He'll of a band up there. Miss you spook much😣
We watched Moonage Daydream film yesterday..and as I am a devout Bowie fan had to see this. I would tell everyone to see it! Absolutely brilliant and insightful. Learnt a hell of a lot about him..his childhood..lots to learn folks.
I remember when they played this on the Midnight Special IN 1973. I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! Nothing was like it. So original, so daring. so OUT THERE. Just brilliant!
Saw Bowie live many times. Best tour was Diamond Dogs. Ziggy Stardust was my first live Bowie concert. No one had ever heard anything like him before or since. RIP

I think that gal they focus in on there at around 4 :47 is my soul mate! That's how I feel sometimes listening to Mick Ronson playing like that, alone at night with my headphones on... hands in the air, screaming like crazy, even turning around to see if anyone else is as ecstatic as me!
I saw him at one of his July 1974 performances at the Tower. The one and only time I sleep out to get tickets. Listen, some people just didn't get him. He evolved through his career and you needed to take the ride with him if you could.
Mick Ronson the most underrated guitar player of all time. Bowie never gave him the credit he deserved, for not only playing but also producing and arranging.
I think he did give him all the credit he deserved. Bowie more than appreciated raw talent when he saw it. Ronno was incredibly talented but so grounded and unassuming.
He got plenty of credit for his work. They worked together for four years. Ronno said himself he was treated fairly. No need to knock Bowie to elevate Ronson. How his career panned out was down to him.
Playing his music to the aliens,the grays dig Bowie ! Lol me too !!! Who doesn't ? " Theres a star man waiting in the sky , hed like to come and meet you but he thinks he'll blow your mind ". Let the children boogie !!!
@@DavidH-D I was looking through my old pictures, and I found a clip of this exact video screen recorded in October 2020. So maybe they just taking it down and re uploading it
So true ... I try to keep his music relevant and love doing covers on YT ... I had a dream and the name 'Space Boy' seemed apt ... all for fun and in admiration,
Absolutely mindblowing performance. Glad to see that Mick an David are also part in the final exams of Kunst Algemeen ( general history of the arts) in Holland! Ben
Hasta el descubrimiento de esta canción fue arriesgado. Ese trance del sueño despierto con la edad de la luna solo se alcanza en un concierto en vivo, o en la imaginación
Just went to the theaters a couple of days ago. They played this concert for the 50th anniversay of Zigsy Stardust stepping down from the stages. What an experience. It is the closest I'll ever be from experiencing a Bowie concert.
"Pon tu ojo eléctrico sobre mi, fantasía lunar, la iglesia del hombre es el amor "; canción de mucho simbolismo y de esa liberación que creo es su mensaje final, con ese lenguaje artístico que Bowie imponía en sus canciones ".
This is without doubt one of the highlights of the Ziggy50 film simply because of Micks guitar work on this song, although there is nothing simple about it! 💯🎸
