  • GOD'S VOICE...

  • Bowies got such mesmerizing voice! and FUCK YOU Lady Gaga!!

  • Those people in the front row must have been on a high.....

  • LOVE it .. thank you xxxxx

  • Bowie god

  • I saw Bowie in Serious Moonlight Tour and Heroes stood out as a classic and after all these years it's now imortilised in rock history, So many people have covered it but no one can our do Bowie.

  • this is awesome 

  • Bowie one of my heroes ;-)

    from 1515 thx.

  • MONTREAL// SAYS WE COULD BE HEROES  ,,,,,,,,

  • Nice Version of that song, esp. the guitar ;-)

  • one of the kings.

  • Tony Thompson on drums, Carmine Rojas on bass guitar, Carlos Alomar on base guitar, Earl Slick on lead guitar and David Bowie on vocals : HEROES

    Historic...Will never get tired of listening this.

  • what year is this?

  • @dezinhamew 1983

  • @Zagat50 thanks

  • @dezinhamew believe it or not it's 1983, Bowie dominated the musical world at the time.

  • This song is tremendous. It's a piece of rock history in itself.

  • 9 people will never be heroes

  • this song will play at my funeral, r-i-p- to me,,,,,,,,

  • IS T,THAT YOUNG EARL SLICK???????????

  • WOW,,, JUST LOOK AT THE MUSICIANS PLAYING WITH HIM ///CREAM OF THE CREAM,,, HARD TO BEAT,, COMPARE 2011-2012- MUSIC  ,,, WE HAVE A MUSIC PROBLEM???

  • i was there montreal-old-forum ,,,,, section- 122-reds

  • sensacional!

  • This was Bowie cashing in, selling out, a little too mainstream. Saw this tour in Syracuse, but a little too prepackaged with the upc in plain sight, designed for the family living room. Compare the original album cut to the Serious Moonlight tour. Probably trying to save his voice for the rest of the road ahead. And I can't blame him for pacing himself with this crowd pleaser. But the biggest disappointment was the absence of "1984" which would have killed his voice but have been so apt in 83'.

  • what year was this tour? I think in the early "80's.

  • @ericewallace1 83' This was one bad ass perfomance. Probably his best concert ever.

  • @ericewallace1 83' This was one bad ass performance. Probably his best concert ever.

  • funny, I have never heard this intro to the song before !

  • I saw David Bowie live, only once, in 1977 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Amazing. I was in my total Bowie Worship period then, and he could do NO wrong. I arrived a bit late, and was looking for my seat when the overture to Heroes started playing. I came out into the section opening, and the lights had just gone up on the stage .. and the King began singing. The crowd was totally enthralled. .. ah, memories. That's a long time ago, and time has marched on. This clip brings it all back.

  • @LivingInTheGTA nice memory there, I was one when that happened so I missed out on Bowie in his prime

  • I like his smile on 0:35-0.38

  • As though nothing could fall .. on this teenage wildlife!

  • a master of music

  • Never hearded a cover that would be better than the original. So many like that song so much that they want to cover it, but noone has been able to make it sound the same nor better than the original. Some songs simply are unbeatable in greatness.

  • we could be heroes, just for one day :3

  • this is the last bow concert i saw; the first was ziggy. i saw the best then he went to dvd. this is his best band since spiders, though.

  • this is my favourite version

  • spot on Hanne the best song ever..mantra of optimism yeah

  • always brings me joy!

  • I saw Bowie on this tour and when he intro'd "Heroes" with Sammy Turner's "Lavender Blue", my jaw dropped. It was my childhood favorite and maybe his too.

  • saw him in Raliegh 25 years ago lets admit it BOWIE KICKS ASS

  • Eu não me canso de ouvir esta canção maravilhosa, bowie é uma honra ouvir suas músicas.

  • montreal old forum section 222 reds orgasm wow

  • I was at the gig in Milton Keynes where he played this and it was just just perfection !!

  • That was rather beautiful!

  • Not only is this the best song ever, it is also the best - and original - version of it. We saw him perform this at Wembley Arena on the Serius Moonlight tour. The 'Lavender blue, lavender green ..' intro was awesome; still sends a tingle down my spine.

  • i love this song, i have a awesome cover on my channel

  • This song is obviously about hitler.

  • ALL done before over-dubbing, video overlay, ghost images and super animation! See what happens when your only offering is pure TALENT? And then came Dancing With The Stars (Republicreeps)! Add up 20 entertainers from today and the total would still have less talent than Bowie in this era of music and modern day boredom. Almost 5 minutes and not a single "F" word surely something is wrong here! GR8 clip from an amazing time period. Awesome upload!

  • Buy Bowie's version of Heroes to keep x factor out the chart!

    And the whole "it's for charity" how about you just give the money rather than using x factor ruining this song as an excuse.

    Show support for Bowie!

  • @becca123321

    I am with you. Buy Bowie's Heroes now. Give your money directly to Help For Heroes

  • On behalf of the human race I apolgise, oh great lord Bowie, for the fuck-wit factor's version of this song. I hope it has not caused you too much distress ;'(

  • I want to have sex with his voice. Especially at the beginning.

  • so much of his music has never dated . this could be now

  • In the 70tis he was only the best . I hop this time will come back.

  • greatest singers as bowie cheer you up in a day where u feel terribly depressed or pisst off

  • Bäst Best

  • Only people that have ears for good music understand that this man is a genius! Great song!

  • Man.... can you best this?

  • @wakeful456 ripmp3 sucks.

  • wow

  • geiles conzert bad segeberg 1983

  • God the way Earl makes that guitar sing... combined with Bowie's amazing ability to surround himself with such pure talent. This version of the song blows me away every time I hear it.

  • Bowie, the ultimate performer, I was @ the Serious Moonlight tour, can't remember the exact date I want to say '82, '83 or so at Angel Stadium in Anaheim Ca. the guy was awesome, love his music going back to Spiders from Mars days.

  • @hippiesrule2468 Me too Hippie, Travelled down from the West Coast of Scotland to Milton Keynes in England to see him on the Serious Moonlight Tour, went twice in the end. Brilliant! Was definitely 1983 >:0)

  • I still can't decide if he can actually dance, or if he just fakes his way through.

  • @Bowiefan1214 well actually..he says he hates to dance..he thinks it's really stupid..so I don't realy think he tries

  • @zerberry1447 Oh, where'd you hear that? was it a tv interview?

  • @Bowiefan1214 well, kinda I think he said it in an interview...but it's also one of his quotes so you can never be too sure..

  • @Bowiefan1214 Either way, he does it brilliantly.

  • @organaphus true, I just want to hear the interview ; )

  • Comment removed

  • Here he looks as high as a cat's whiskers :))), those of you who have watched the ellen interview know what I'm talking about [I absitively love that one, he's so funny]. Unbelievable singing and stage presence, however, personally, I prefer his latest, I'm-off-the-drugs-and-an-accom­plished-mature-artist shows, where he's so much more down to earth and himself. Bowie = pure class and he has a lovely, self-irony based sense of humour, which is so rare these days :)

  • Intro before song is odd?

  • Thanks master316 for posting this, Bowie only gets better and better the more you listen to him. I have seen him in Concert and is awesome.

  • Serious Moonlight Tour, May 1983, Les Arenes in Frejus (FR).... I was there, tnx Mr. Bowie !

  • this was`nt written, it came from the Gods, they just picked Sir David to sing it, I think he done a fine job! watcha say! we can be heroes just for 1 day? we can beat them wotta ya say? we can be heroes, we can be heroes!

  • shame he has such shit hair

  • @fatcatsarefun his hair isn't shit it looks really great on him

  • @fatcatsarefun yes his hair is truly awful, but who had good hair in the '80s?

  • @fatcatsarefun Unfortunately, I have to agree... That mop of a candyfloss peroxide hair is trully awful... :-)

  • @norwaytoday 80's hair !!! lol

  • This man has the sexiest voice ever. Oh, and still does.

  • This was Bowie at his absolute best with the best band he ever put on stage!

  • @bartholomew313

    Just think how much more incredible the band would've been had SRV accepted the invitation to tour this album as lead guitarist.

  • @bartholomew313 i honestly think the band used in the glass spiders tour is better than this one with peter frampton on guitar and most of the same people he used on the glass spider tour and of course the dancers to make it a visual spectacle as well

  • @svenpenie I totally disagree! The Seriously Moonlight band rocked! Tony Thompson on Drums, Carlos Alomar (actually he was in both bands) Lenny Pickett from TOP and Earl Slick on guitar . Stevie Ray is a great player, But Earl Slick has a much stronger resume, although with less fame. He is one of the monster players of our time. I love Frampton also, so its no knock on him. Spectacle has nothing to do with musical quality or integrity. I was at these shows in New York.

  • the guitar player remarkable job, better than dutchy Van Halen

  • Very perfekt. Verry good... but a great show.

  • Oooho, als die Gitarre einsetzte hab ich voll die Gänsehaut bekommen. Und David's freude an seinem Job hört man richtig raus. Er ist einer der "Dinosaurier" aus der Brache die wie guter Wein mit jedem Jahr besser werden.

    I love it

  • I saw this tour in '83 in Oakland CA, I believe the Tubes were the opening act. DB was amazing, a true professional and Earl Slick was great, running around stage with the energy of sugared up six year old...I also saw the Police about a week prior to this show at the same stadium...'83 was a good year for concerts.

  • Crummydriver, I also got to see this tour at the Richfield Coliseum in Ohio and it was awesome. I alos was lucky enough to see Stevie Ray at Akron U before his death and the Fab Thunderbirds opened.

  • this track helps me NOT suicide...

  • @cervusadfontes

    Don't. It's OK, I swear, it might just be a sign of brilliance in a dark world

    you are a child of the universe

    no less than the trees and the stars

    you have a right to be here

    and whether or not it is clear to you

    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

  • @cervusadfontes yes you're right

  • this song make me proud ^^

  • Does anyone remember that Stevie Ray Vaughan was originally slated to play lead guitar on this tour before backing out? That would have been a great addition. I remember seeing Bowie on this tour in '83 at the Tacoma Dome, one of my favorite concerts. A true genius.

  • i love bowie,the backup singers and earl slick ;P this song rocks 4ever...

  • aggiungere &fmt=18 al link per ascoltareil brano in stereo.

    To listen to this gem on stereo sound add &fmt=18 to the link...

  • video géniale !

  • amazing

  • I don't dig the horns, but I like the way Earl Slick interpreted the guitar part.

  • Lavender Blue was re-written around 1949 and hit for several artists. The last and biggest hit version came from Sammy Turner in 1959. I suspect that Bowie was inspired to write Heroes later in life after hearing Lavender Blue during his childhood.

  • I so want to get a hold of this 83 concert i know its on dvd

  • Oops, sorry, just read that it's an old English folk song.

  • seriously he's the coolest man who ever lived

  • 2 fast.

  • Lavander blue, dilly-diily

    Lavander green

    I will be King, dilly-dilly

    You...will...be...

    Queen

  • It's Marillion isn't it?

  • i knw what ya mean tis gone :/ no great musians any mroe =[

  • Well, that's not true. It's just that the most popular artist these days don't have much talent in my opinion. How many Danzig songs do you hear on the radio (except for Mother). Danzig is an all-time great in my opinion. How many Ben Harper songs do you hear?

  • This is special...as i was at this show. Changed my life.

  • how awesomee i wish i was born earlier...

  • I miss rock n' roll.....

  • rock n' roll will never die!!!

  • the best song ever written

  • @hanne7100 You need to listen to more music

  • @hanne7100 You need to listen to more music - but it is a wonderful song :)

  • It is really unhealthy how much I adore this man

  • Hello Earthman.

  • Lo amo

  • Bowie is the true king

  • @fleamarket3000

    yes...... even in his light green-blue-blond period in the 80th..........

    His variations of his ageless songs are surprising-amazing and his covers of others are better than the originals ----- DB is Music, Voice and vision!

  • @angel1nl2002 I would give my left leg to have been at this concert

  • @fleamarket3000

    don't be silly: no concert is worth a lost leg and -

    DB became much better by the time after this period.

  • TELA MARINERA...

  • Man I hate that awful strat quack tone...YUK!!

  • Haha yeah it doesn't belong on this song at all

  • Hands down THE best live performance of this song I've heard.

  • Big voice from a little dude.

  • maybe im more into fripp or belew king crimson

  • Really? You should check the complete Heroes from berlin 2002. Type in Heroes and you'll get it. It's the most magnificent version of the song ever.

  • What a friggin band also! Hand picked by DB as always

  • what a voice, amazing

  • This is my favorite Bowie song. I saw the concert and was quite surprised when he opened Heroes with lines from Lavender Blue (my childhood favorite)(Sammy Turner). Perhaps he was inspired to write Heroes by that song since the first line is the same.

  • my fave aswell

  • i have seen alot of concerts in my time and im only 32....my mom brought me to bowie, and seeing as i grew up on him, it wasn't very difficult to convince me to check him out live. well....this man and his band were the BEST live performance i have ever seen and i loved every minute of it....u rock david thx for all ur artistic talent you've shared with us xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

  • WOW! i love the beginning, how it starts, how it ennds, the bassline, I WANT BOWIE, NOW!

  • bella canzone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • elisious immortal somg love this

  • He's quite possibly the coolest man ever to walk the Earth.

  • ur right on there!

  • just listen the beginning, it is the sound of life, that time... remember?

  • not only for one day

  • Grea t song, astounding performance. There is another song with the same title by "david & david" (grossly underrated band from the 80's), might wanna check it out too (or ANY other song from "boomtown"), it won't disappoint.....

  • Oh how much I love that song! On the serious moonlight tour David vocally was absolutely amazing! Such a voice! You can always recognize him out of a million voices!

  • I have heard loads of versions of this song and this one really shows Earl Slick as a fantastic lead player. No wonder Bowie picked him. From 2:05 to 2:13 Earl really makes this song special with his lead. BV's also good.

  • "We can be heroes..." - words to live by :) Another wonderful, sexy performance.

  • A great classic rock song. I love the musical path the bass & lead guitar take!

  • aww they sped it up.. kinda ruined it :(

  • yup !! bowee is trully a legend !! a legend bigger than ELVIS or MJ !!

  • My first date with the girl who would become my wife was to see Bowie on the Serious Moonlight tour at the LA Forum. We'll be married 23 years this September.

    Thank you so much for posting this.

  • Great story. Congrats. :)

  • That is so romantic! Very cool!

  • He's soo .... much. There is nothing like Bowie. He's a true legend, and I can't stand the fact that there are people who doesn't even know the name!!!

  • my friend did not no who david bowie was and i showed her and she does not like him and i sed what is there not to like abou david bowie he is so aewsome

  • bowie is the coolest artist ever, he is so talented to, hes a fucking legend, gotta love him

  • WOW! I was at that concert and it "blew me away"! NO ONE can be better than BOWIE! Also, saw him at the Beacon Theatre in NYC. Another excellent concert but even better in a small theatre. Love You Bowie. My 17 yr. old cat's name is Ziggy (well hung and snow white tan)!!!

  • I LOVE YOU BOWIE  ASTRID

  • this is 25 years old and is as fresh as todays newspaper!!!!

  • One of the best showmen of all time!

  • yes indeed!

  • Anyone think Bowie looks a lot like Billy Idol minus the leather in this clip?

  • yes, lol

  • he does look very close to Billy Idol minus the leather!

  • Pure Eighties bombast! Love it!

    Ruby

    XoX

  • I recommend every Bowie fan to buy this DVD. I have it and you feel like your at the actual concert, its totally cool! Earl Slick looks kinda like johnny depp from 21 jumpstreet here, or is that just me???

  • Yeah, it's just you.
