@2:44 has to be one of my favourite moments in his entire career. that magnificent voice, echoing through 42 thousand clapping people (if I recall correctly he sold out Tokyo Dome stadium that night). He had such an amazing career. Thank you for uploading this.
I love this song, is one of my favorites of him...and his performance in this concert really really touch me... I haven't words for describing how amazing is Bowie...he's wonderful...
I first heard the farewell Hammersmith version of this song when I was 12 years old, a few years after my father died. And to this day, this song remains thee only song that brings my to tears everytime I hearken. God bless you, Bowie.
Hi! I've read that someone asked "is it about his sexuality", I can answer no, cause it's a song about all the artists dead too early cause of overdoses! Cool video, thanks for sharing!5*! BYE!
uh Iman. duh. and yes, she is extremely lucky. even though Bowie is technically old enough to be my grandfather, i still find him unbelievably attractive.
@boozara Sorry about your son. I am so blessed with my two at 25 and 23, great big lumps - I cannot begin to comprehend your pain. I hope it gets a little easier.... fell to the ground like a leaf from a tree...
basementghosts, He still helps me feel and deal with my pain. Esp. songs such as this one. I am intimately familiar with suicide. I am glad to hear he helps you too. Stay strong M8.
I love this song, I love Ziggy, I love Bowie. He is gorgeous !!! Bowie is the best of all the times. God, thank you so much, for this man have fallen in our planet.
Lately I've found out that most of the songs I've "DISCOVERED" that has blown me away is an old song by Bowie! Or covers of old Bowie songs. Unlike others, Bowie truely is ROCK ROYALTY!
This is even better than the 1973 "farewell performance" but that's Bowie, just keeps on getting better. A little frightening to think that there were 17 years from Ziggy Stardust to this but twenty years from this to now. Can't see much of today's music getting hits on RU-vid 38 years after first release but rendez-vous in 2038 and we'll see.
Dear Rebel! This is the Sound and Vision Tour, 1990. Three years before the Black Tie White Noise Release. In the Sound and Vision Tour, Bowie traveled all over the world, i think it is one of his biggest tours with "Reality" cheers!
That little bit of hair falling out on his forehead made me think there was a golden circle painted on his forehead again. I've never seen him look more like Ziggy after '73 than in this video.
I love David Bowie...hes so sexy besides his hair. OMG in the labyrinth videoo he was so sexy i was like omgg every time i saw himm i love him so muchhh whoever is married to him is really lucky
I would imagine he was taking the pee because the natural Japanese crowd reaction wasn't exactly jubilant to the enormity of him singing this song. That's just the way they are, nothing personal, but you can see David putting that extra bit in for them knowing it won't do any good
I love this man, love this performance. I do have a question though, what's that on his chin? I know he doesn't have a mole or freckle or anything there, so what is it? Not really important, I'm just curious.
I apologize but I believe you are mistaken; I was referring to some earlier comments posted here. The posters all alleged that the lead guitar was off in some way and I ventured that the guitar was NOT (to quote myself; "I dunno guys, the electric guitar doesn't sound off to me at all..." - note the use of DOESN'T). I assume Bowie would have a competent player who was playing in-key and on-time and that was exactly what I was defending. I believe you misunderstood what I was saying....
Yeah the lead electric guitar is a bit weak (I wouldn't say off but it does detract from the power a bit). But honestly when bowie's singing who'se paying attention to some guy pleasuring himself in the background? Not I!
This song tells a story about many people. To me it's a song about facing the cold hard truth about reality and expelling your demons. I WAS this song at many points in my life. But I like how he ends positively, which is the only conclusion one can come to and face tomorrow.
that's like the 3rd live video i've watched of that song in the last few minutes... and i noticed he changes the lyrics each time and none of the videos i watched matches the actuall original lyrics =)) love u bowie... masterpiece
@LiveLaughLucky Yes!!! That was awesome thank you for catching it! More people should pay attention to the awesome details like that, like when John Lennon does the Elvis (or Cash) move in Hello Goodbye.
