[sergechartrand64]

...... 2011-2012-==== try to find artits like thoses ,, name-them/?

[MmeLEnfer]

Also I'd like to add that Bowie is freaking gorgeous here of course, but Gail is also absolutely cool as fuck. It's a pleasure seeing her perform next to David so often.

[MmeLEnfer]

Cette chanson est fucking chouette. <3

[elisepoetry1603]

Superb

[123X2C]

mon dieu, mon couer, mon amour ou mon - OH!

OH!!!

merci!

ღஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐღ

[touchandgod]

Hell yes. That is some seriously perfected chaos.

[laubowiebass]

wow.. this an energetic version of an already energetic song.. Bowie!!!

[scottdahippie]

Yup, thats Fripp. One thing about Bowie is that he is still as versatile today as he was when he first came out.

[sannaols5582]

This is very Ozzy-ish, lol

[Victorinox667]

His whole ensemble is effin' awesome. Hair, clothes, beard, EVERYTHING!

[antheaize]

Bowie is god!

[RRAYZORR6]

Great, but still like Fripp's version, dont get me wrong this is pretty tight live number, but this guy I think over plays on lead guitar.

[dontwantanusername]

super creep

[earlgreg666]

Le Génie ça ne se discute pas!

[legaguik]

franchement j'ai meme pas de mot pour decrire a tel point ca fracasse

[tutts999]

Pure class.

[phantomwargun]

This is garbage ...everybody playing like a jaded session musician. I'd like to see Bowie play with a bunch of musicians who didn't stifle all the immediacy out of the tunes with their technical polish. The drums are absoulte self indulgence.

It's a shame because I love the original.

[cheytan]

pure dynamite !

[onamemmet]

you couldn't put together a harder band. gail is from some kind of heaven -out of this world; gabrels is incindiary. what a joy.

[Elfphan7]

I love his coat in this! It's amazing! And he's so great when he performs live! But I think he's probably retired now....

[TheCosmicFluke]

damn! his best band ever.

it was great in '81, but who'd think it'd be just as killin' so many years later.

Bowie has CLASS and STYLE and I LOVE HIM.

[Putomass66]

If I'm reincarnated, I'm coming back as Bowie!!

[bicyclearmy]

Fripp's modern assault propelled the band in the original, while still providing a linchpin to which the entire band pivoted, Gabrells' playing has the energy but none of the function and seems to compete for attention.

[maxziz]

bro's,,,,i like reeves gabriel,,,,,,,but fripp cooks him,,,,fripp

does this track with the kinda intensity that comes from controled madness,,,,,reeves sound has to much of a wash about it , you loose the unpredictabilty of the thang,,thanks for the post though,,,,max o'-----------

[beelzabubba]

Does Fripp play on the album? This is R. Gabriel here... I know Belew played on a bunch of Bowie stuff but I'm unaware of Fripp on any of it... please inform. Thanks.

[joejoek182000]

The brilliant Reeves Gabrels on lead guitar.

[maxziz]

fripp on the original,,,adrian belew,,,,a guy named chuck hammer,,,,,,,and beleive it or not pete townsend played a bit of accoustic,,,,,adrian belew is a true pioneer,,,chuck hammer

gets a whole weird thing going,,,,im not slagging reeves,,,,its just robert fripp kinda invented this thing with belew,, the only modern guitarist i know who does it well is troy tempest or troyt but he dont seem to wanna play out anymore

[beepmotherfuckerbeep]

Pete Townsend played on the track "Because You're Young"

[meatb0t]

hey is that Robert Fripp on guitar?

[mamasamu]

No, it's Reeves Gabrels

[KATCHADOURIAN1]

@meatb0t

[KATCHADOURIAN1]

BOWIE ON FRENCH TV . BOWIE AT HIS BEST.......F K GRENOBLE FRANCE.

[fzkny]

No one before and no one after Bowie. He's got it all! But where has he been these days?

[maljavea]

I agree with you DB about Tunbridge Wells..Shit Ole!

[claudyaskywalker]

a super bowie,,, I love so much his lyrics and the way he sing,,, a rock monster,,, no rocker has been like him,,, look at ziggy stardust and any other his characters,,, They had something living in,,, I can't explain, he's a great magician of rock ;-)

[BiggestBowieFanEver]

bowie is just the best. gail ann dorsey rocks!!

[paintedsound]

bowie sharp and the lead guitarist is flying..base and rhythm pushing in to max ..wish I was there

[captainsuperfly]

For a live performance with all those unpredictables- absolutely brilliant!!! I sing this song everyday as I drive in my car!I just love it!Thanks!!

[antblue363]

strong performance

[moondustx8]

:-) :-) :-) .... THE BEST !!!!!

[abelgrif]

Dont forget the Musicos bros n sisters !!

He couldnt perform this way without them !

Theyre so great too !!

[arch4christ]

By the way miniorangepanther, about your comment on Mr. Bowie's voice, it's perfectly excellent and he is not saying/singing HOME he is saying a word HAND.. At 1:06 of the video, it's perfectly excellent, yet once again. You rock ho-hum, ROCK ON--> ALWAYS!!!

[arch4christ]

David Bowie is a CLASS ACT with no par, in his genre..!!!.Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect their opinions. But, this video-let's put it this way, I BET if you are a TRUE rock-and-roll person I would bet you would love to be at that concert, RIGHT?David Bowie ROCKS. ABSOLUTELY Mr. Reeves Gabriels (lead guitarist, like you cannot miss him) He ROCKS all four of those musicians totally rocked together.. And that is one gnarly UNDERSTATEMENT.! Darric McCormick

[miniorangepanther]

i think its adorale how he tries to keep his voice low like it is at the begining but it automaticly becomes higher like at 1:06, when he says home. maybe its on perpose, but either way its cute =)

[narkiz]

evil stuff

[abelgrif]

IT CAN BE AN ONLY ONE !!!

[papadugenou]

comme tu dis, quel mec

[mosquito69]

PUTAING!!!!!!!

QUEL PIED!!!!!

[misterfatman]

this live performance is really really amazing. bowie is awesome...

[misterfatman]

tell me guys, id love to know the name of the super guitarist who is standing at the right of bowie

[TheAnav]

That man in question is Reeves Gabriels. :)

[deniseA01]

Superb live performance I agree!! Well it is Bowie though of course superb.

[bowiebabe07]

aaaaaaaaaaammmmmmaaaaaazzzziii­innnngggg AGAIN

[SeriousCritic2007]

Great! Usually I steer clear of the live performances on Youtube, but this one is A-OK.

[granmaben]

cool version.

[machination2]

daylightboy-> This is just what i was thinking. You're not old at all, i'm into thrash metal and such other violent stuff and i totally see your point.

[ThunderWolf64]

david bowie was in labrynth right?????....o.O.....OH!!!! i love the outback song!!!!

[Schtellan]

cool!

[oblyvia]

I think he should let me have his children...

[daylightboy]

Bowie is king....however like most 'live' music vids....tooo tooo much flashing from one scene to another, I just want to watch him sing or just watch the geetar solo...is it me? or is it aret??? or am I old??? flash,flash,flash

[Panasper]

I agree.

[nectarguru]

Reeves Gabrels deserves a gargantuan amount of credit

[homegirrl]

his 97 band ROCKED

[RealCoolCat]

Amazing!

[KittusTheMighty]

Brilliant! Much harder and heavier than I've ever heard him sound live before. Cheers for posting.

[guigui6931]

I remeber this show. I used to watch NPA everyday. I think he also played Little Wonder on that show. Actually, I really start to enjoy listening David Bowie since that show. Earthling is on my top 3 David Bowie album, the other are Ziggy and Alladdin Sane.

[AlbertKidd]

Outstanding. Thanks for posting.

[mamasamu]

Well, because there is no original music video of "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)", but only live versions of it.

[skinhead5]

Yes there is.I saw it way back in the day when I was 13.

[marlboroman1985]

I wonder why  the original music video isn't posted here?

[arabiansanchez]

Bowie's music drifted away from being so guitar driven, hence Gabrels parted company with him.

Everyone has their time with Bowie. It's nothing personal.

[bionicbigfoot]

agreed...I think Reeves really rejuvinated Bowie's career in '88-'89...gave him a swift kick & together they produced some groundbreaking stuff...shame they drifted apart. and dorsey's GREAT on bass...

[stvdog]

killer version!! the band he had for the earthling tour was simply awesome. BOWIE RULES.
