David Bowie - Queen Bitch (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972) 

The incomparable Mick Ronson on lead, this was Bowie's best band, and best era.

That look on his face at the end. He knew they had absolutely nailed it!

Ppl can say this was a golden age but his entire career was a golden age. When was Bowie not a music god? You might have favorites among his eras but he was constantly amazing.

I think this was a golden age for Bowie and his band. I miss him.

Bowie wasn't human. He was an alien sent to entertain us.

I almost forgot just how enormous he was on stage.. he belonged there..

Mick Ronson & David Bowie REST IN PEACE LEGENDS!!!

Love this track! The Velvet Underground influence is undeniable on this one. Well done Bowie!

MAGIC... I'm 66 and I can still remember the lyrics... loving singing these, thankyou

The serious face Bowie makes at 0:52 after he sings "Better than that" is so perfect for this song. His mime training taught him to have such a unique and expressive stage presence.

'The Old Grey Whistle Test' was the best music programme EVer. So many greats when they were young and at their peak.

Hi From The Sky ⭐️

David Bowie's music always spoke to me, was so damn dear to my heart. I struck on him immediately. He was ahead of the curve, in this day and age i reckon nobody can reach even the half what he did in his pomp. He's criminally banging, captivating and altogether a hunk with an awful lot of merits going for himself. I'm always all eyes and ears watching his nonesuch performances. He never missed a beat. That's the stuff. Rest in piece our beloved shape-shifting chameleon . My everlasting love beggars description.😍😍💕💕💞💞💗💗

I remember watching this on the telly over 50 years ago. The raw power of Bowie and Ronson blew me away!

The Mick Ronson period is my favorite of Bowie's.

This incredible live performance needs 100 million views at least.

I still play 'hunky dory ' at least once a week, sometimes more. It's a fantastic album and I sing along quite loudly, but I don't care. Love the 'ziggy ' album too, and as it says on the cover "play loud ". So I do.

22k views - rest of the world 900k views - me Fkin love this

David Bowie, his artistry lives with all the stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️ 🌠🌌

First time I heard this song was in Steve Zissou and it was the scene after the movie was shown and this song plays as bill murray walks and it pans into the credits Always thought that was so cool and this instantly became my favorite Bowie song

This is my all-time favorite Bowie song! When he sings with Rono such great melody’s ,there’s nothing like it in this world I miss you so much David Bowie I know you’re looking down on us love you much

one of his best songs, ths version is even better than the studio version

One of my most favorite of Bowie's tunes!!! This song kicks major ass!!! RIP BOWIE!!! Miss you more than I can say......

Absolutely quality and still as fresh today. I’m 61 and am so glad I was there back then 👍

That 70s analogue tape recording is so raw and live it sounds like Dave and Mick are right here in my room playing for me personally,you just don`t get this sound from modern digital recordings which always sound so antiseptic and soul-less.

Lyrics: I'm up on the eleventh floor And I'm watching the cruisers below He's down on the street And he's trying hard to pull sister Flo Oh, my heart's in the basement My weekend's at an all time low 'Cause she's hoping to score So I can't see her letting him go Walk out of her heart Walk out of her mind Oh, not her She's so swishy in her satin and tat In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat Oh God, I could do better than that Oh, yeah She's an old-time ambassador Of sweet talking, night walking games Oh and she's known in the darkest clubs For pushing ahead of the dames If she says she can do it Then she can do it, she don't make false claims But she's a queen and such a queen Such a laughter is sucked in their brains Now she's leading him on And she'll lay him right down Yes, she's leading him on And she'll lay him right down But it could have been me Yes, it could have been me Why didn't I say? Why didn't I say? No, no, no She's so swishy in her satin and tat In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat Oh God, I could do better than that So I lay down a while And I gaze at my hotel wall Oh, the cot is so cold It don't feel like no bed at all Yeah, I lay down a while And look at my hotel wall And he's down on the street So I throw both his bags down the hall And I'm phoning a cab 'Cause my stomach feels small There's a taste in my mouth And it's no taste at all It could have been me Oh yeah, it could have been me Why didn't I say? Why didn't I say? No, no, no She's so swishy in her satin and tat In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat Oh God, I could do better than that Oh you betcha Oh yeah Uh-huh Mmm

Cant believe it was 1972 ! At 64 I still rock to this great music....my son too. Timeless and brilliant.

David Bowie & The Spiders from Mars, Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick 'Woody' Woodmansey Belong in the Rock 'N ' Roll Hall Of Fame. Their work stands as proof that they deserve to be there. Rest In Peace David Bowie, Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder. You will never be forgotten !

Oh, the GOLDEN AGE of Rock N Roll. Many of those 'pure musicians' are now gone, but they will never be forgotten .🎵 My friend and I went to see two good buddies of Bowie, (Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson) play in a bar style venue during the mid 80s in Victoria, BC Canada, where Mick was playing at arms length away from our front row table . We are now in our 60s and we'll never forget that performance. Rest in Peace David & Mick. Thank you for the music.☮🎵

Great Performance! 💯

Outstanding performance! The 70's were great because of Bowie. The most beautiful and inspirational musician of 20th century. His life continuing to his creation.

Bowie always put on an incredible performance - this was such a joy to watch!

David Bowie a part of our culture

Some of us were just dwere just discussing Bowie on David Lynch's RU-vid channel this morning, so this is a timely surprise! Long live Phillip Jeffries!!☆⚡☆

I love how he change the lines everytime! ❤️

Bowie was one of a very rare breed........music , writing, acting, painting , philosophy , predictor of the future i.e where online was heading. As near a genius in the arts as you will ever get. David RIP

Worth it for his boots alone. Really the first artist I ever loved and very much continue to. Truly a loss.

I'm 66, always had Bowie's music playing in my home, older siblings then on the radio as well but haven't heard this gem in such a long time! Thank you David Bowie for making life more fun!l💎💓

Wish he would have made another 10 albums with this sound. First time hearing it. Of course I love the classics too.

What can I say that's brilliant 👏 love BOWIE seen him live sound and vision tour at maine Rd no one can touch him the best over six decades 💙

Majestic first 7" single I ever bought, never seen this version. When Bowie and Mick Ronson share the mic I truly feel glad to be alive. RIP the pair of them. One Love.

He was one of a kind… the BEST of his decade! NO ONE like David Bowie… miss him.❤️🙏🏻

David Bowie was the king 👑 of fashion and music and also because he was a true music 🎵 icon of his prime. Xoxo 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 princess

Not a huge Bowie fan but a great performance is a great performance.

Damn. Mick is killing it here

Always been one of my favorite Bowie songs.

Go ahead, show this to all of the kiddies that think that they know what R&R was back then!

What a song and what a great performance.

Смотрю на этих парней и восхищаюсь! Как они делают эту песню! Как играет Мик Ронсон! Какая мимика у Девида! Это шедевр! Обожаю Боуи!

Today in the boring world I listen to Bowe and his band as I know it's the best.

Вот это да! Обожаю Hunky Dory! ✌🇪🇪

Two iconic legends doing their thing...doesn't come any better..rock&roll..!!!

Acid, Folk, Glam, Punk, New Wave, Popular. Bowie did it well.

A song writing genius missed by many ' God bless David Bowie

Who rocks a 12 string on a track like this? So talented. A real bad ass band. Bowie was one of a kind. As we miss him, we have these works of brilliance to remember him.

Mick Ronson and David Bowie was the best in them days

Excellent behavior! I still love this track 51 years after I heard it for the first time as a 12 year old. Thank you!

Thank God for Bowie because without Bowie there wouldn't have been new wave music

This song of Bowie is the best ever

None before,None after,David Bowie is a Legend

amazing as ever ❤🕊️

How many singer/songwriters play a 12 string as their instrument of choice? So talented. So missed.

My aunt went to Maybury road school in Hull with Mick in the 60s. Went out with him for a short period of time-well pleased with that as you would imagine as a Bowie fan!

So amazingly great. Music when it was still good.

Hunk Dory is my favourite Bowie album. So many great tracks. Incredible songwiting, i put Hunky Dory up with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Who, The Kinks and The Doors best albums.

I always love Bowie but I especially love this extra strength Bowie!

Happy Birthday Wonderful Man 🖤💙🖤 Helped me through every stage of life since I was 10 and still doing it now. That's a long time
