David Bowie - Ashes to ashes (Olympia)

[meakins8]

bass guitarist is insane!!! 2:07-2:11

[mario201252]

David Bowie a réussi l'un de ses plus beau spectacle en public, une vraie résurection.

Merci pour cette vidéo, un morceau de 1980 remis au gout du jour. Quand je pense que j'ai vu un critique dire que cet artiste a été surrestimé! Au regard d'une carrière énorme et de pleins de changements durant sa vie, le Duke reste unique...

[DomTao69]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful live show, i will always regret not having been there among the crowd... And fuck, this song always make me feel like crying upon my own ashes... "i've never done good things, i've never done bad things, i never did anything out of the blue..."

[gonnabaroberts]

@snorbert

Totaly agreed

[snorbert]

Incredible band, and a great song. This is how live music should always be!

[iamapsychrn]

I saw the original video of this song when I was a kid....now it means so much more to me because I can understand some of what he is talking about....I promise to kick....no smoking crystal...want to come down right now....we know Major Tom's a junky.....David Bowie is timeless....and so sexy

[lisalucian]

[gonnabaroberts]

[auuggghhh]

@gonnabaroberts

It's a rumour. He's not dead. If he was, we'd all know.

[Splagl]

RIP David Bowie.

[gonnabaroberts]

I can't stop listening to this song.It's so perfect,,,well done David !!

[1Andy42]

But , who is better bass player ? This man or Ann Dorsey ?

[Truthasvictim]

@1Andy42 I think they are both pretty fabulous.

[Truthasvictim]

@1Andy42 I think they are both pretty fabulous. Listen to some of the sweet finger popping stuff he does to make the piece really heavy at around 2:00 and I love some of the guitar embellishments too.

[MmeDesgranges]

@1Andy42 Mark Platti for the slap bass but gotta love Gail on the whammy here!

[Truthasvictim]

My gawd, what a beautiful song!!!!!!!!! I used to love dancing to this song when it was in its heyday! The bass player is killer.

[Truthasvictim]

My gawd, what a beautiful song!!!!!!!!! I used to love dancing to this song when it was in its heyday!

[jdu6]

i'm hoping to quit but this planet is glowing glowin glowin

[gonnabaroberts]

Un-fuckin-beleivable!!! I'v liked Bowie since I was a kid when china girl was released,, but this is his best,,I think 5 well earned stars!! The whole band blew me away!!!! :D

[paddygeo]

i like david unplugged.... hated Glass Spider & Serious Moonlight music, this olympia 2002 Live has to be the best so far...

[MmeDesgranges]

This is the best live version ever. Platti is grooving.

[acswagner]

hello ..... a question is a video of David Bowie him out like a dummy to the know the name of the song. Thank you so very grateful regards.

[darklord20042002]

this is one of the few bowie tracks david never modded he kept it the same, and still manages to sing it the same, old ziggy still lives

Keep rocking david

[samtheman152009]

The ending keyboard solo was euphoric! Sounded almost like a tribute to Jean Michel Jarre.

[gonnabaroberts]

Unbeleivable song,Bowie and the band in perfect harmony,,,love it!!!

[enggroup]

this song is still beautiful and modern after so many years. Bowie is a genious

[mwupchurch]

bass player is off the hook ! nice ! :)

[FreneticKey]

There is a god - and his name is David Bowie

[PsychotikPandora]

Who is the keyboarder please ?

[easygreenstore]

@PsychotikPandora Mike Garson!

[rudel451]

Fantastic wish i were there to have seen this live!!!! This was my favorite Bowie album.......... thanks for posting this!!

[lisalucian]

the genius has come to your country!

[Sibarit1973]

And if you are new to Bowie's genius and loved this song as much as I do listen to Golden years.

[Sibarit1973]

tHIS SONG IS PURE GENIUS... LOVE BOWIE LOVE BOWIE

[likylakyloo]

If that was me in the crowd, I would have shoved everyone down, even if they were just sitting there, which is what they all seem to be doing... IT'S DAVID BOWIE GEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!

[toyamac]

@likylakyloo Well, this is a veeeery old concert hall so there's only "chairs" in it...

[pinonoir302]

I think the crouwd is pretty tame..., Its David Bowie for christ sick!!! wake up frenchy!

[GarryBibb]

Who is the BLONDE guitar player?

[zorrderschnitter94]

I friend of me was on a Bowie concert a long time ago in Hamburg and it was a small hall. The Hamburgers(?) were all silent and sitting... But she was 15 years old and wanted to dance. So she stood up and started dancing. After the song Bowie pointed her and said:"That girl is allright". After she was out of the hospital...

[TheDebbieinaz]

Excellent bass playing!

[SpainishArcher]

WOW....what a hot song !

Sounds so much better LIVE .

I can dig on this big time.

[rgbmode]

he's not the bass player anyway, he's the rhythm guitar player....fucking hot!

I'd suck his dick whist he plays this!

[hotrodius]

@rgbmode That's a bass. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

[rgbmode]

I can't get enough of this, I agree the musicians would most definately be the cream of the crop. Amazing.

[rgbmode]

I fancy the bass player, turns me on to watch him enjoying playing this grrrrrrrrrr

[mechanicalvalve]

most definately my all time favorite Bowie song. OMFG Garson you are a god on that thang!!!!

[SeliendaSmiles]

HEYYYY,

Please add me and subscribe back I appreciate it soo much<3333

I love your channel<3333

but yeah you can leave me a comment like about anything for example "penguins" and I will laugh and have a legit conversation with you about "penguins" lol<33333

~SeliendaSmiles~

P.S. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS<3333

[redmoonspider]

I love reading people critiquing Bowie's band....let me clue you in. They're probably the hottest musicians on the planet...the cream of the cream, hand pick from all over the world...your "hero's heros"...same with the sound crew and lighting crew...the absolute best available on earth that money can buy.

[potatoman122]

pretty good keyboarder

[hacker54189]

who's this drummer and synthesizer player?

[ledgerdeathshit]

@hacker54189 Sterling Campbell on drums and Mike Garson on keys.

[manneess]

I used to own this concert on VCD, excellent quality. It deserves an official release. The Heathen era was pretty good.

[Whatevery1Nose]

In my life, there has been no other song to bring meaning into my life. I clearly remember watching this and hearing it for the first time on cable TV in West-Island Montreal in the fall of 1981. It remains to date my number 1 song.

Thank you so much for posting this fantastic version and in such great quality. Truly made my night.

Dad103

Peace in 2010 and always

[ikhizgt]

Is that Brian May in the audience at 4:12, haha?

[climbon74]

Oh yea, Murray is " The " man but that bass has such a funk to it, I dig it different you know what I mean?

[climbon74]

Bad ass bass

[lastmile8]

Yeah. He's Mark Plati and is superb. Even matches Carmine Rojas who played during the let's dance era. Still gotta love george Murray tho, who did the original bass.

[ledgerdeathshit]

Gail An Dorsey is on bass here. Not Plati. He's playing the normal guitar.

[lastmile8]

@ledgerdeathshit Definately Plati

[Carlaarmani]

maravilhosa e eterna....

[tmsgessinger]

A versão mais fodástica, sem dúvida alguma!!!!!!

[paddygeo]

Much better Live version... the keyboardist is the baddest... Absolute Magic. Thanks David.

[de80xD]

Ashes to Ashes Funk to Funky

[Suplololol]

I would not hesitate to bang Bowie. Seriously.

[manneess]

I would bang Gail Ann Dorsey, she's about 40 in this footage and looks great

[ledgerdeathshit]

Shes a lesbian.

[1969fenderjazz]

@ledgerdeathshit

Who gives a shit if she is?

She's a beautiful woman and a gifted musician and all you can say "She's a lesbian" you boogerbrain.

[genesisdd]

Wow ... beautifully done! And the keyboard is out of this world :)

[robjcosta]

Fantastic song,fantastic singer forever, ashes to ashes delicious stranger...ziggy back for us,please

[mta415]

wow! his keyboard player is sick!!!

[otteaux]

Bass line is top shelf... incredible. Funky ass song.

[meakins8]

Best live version I've seen of this song!!! What a fkin legend!!!

[deemisfit]

Sometimes I feel so sad and blue. then I see this and I feel ashamed that I ever hated this place........xoxo

[gav240z]

That's some crazy bass playing.

[DOSkywalkR]

epic keyboard solo at 4:09 - love it!

[melantoriano]

i truly love this song!!

[ledgerdeathshit]

If you look at his facial expressions when he says the more deeper going lines, you can see the thin white duke and ziggy. They are still in there! Look at 1:20. The band is superbe as always.

[gav240z]

Hehe, the man with multiple personalities. I want him to bring back Ziggy :)

[maruaga]

its probabily the best song's him

[kelvinkloud]

hes only going thru the motions here... the emotive under the skin feel isnt here like the album... to truely nail this, u have to be livin this song... for both better & worse he wasnt in that space at this time & space.

[gpeddino]

This is one of those Bowie songs that deserve more love.

[ledgerdeathshit]

I played this 3 times a day, im in a bowie tribute band, i perfrm ut sic times a week, I Luuuuuuuuuvvvvvvv IT:D

[gav240z]

Yeah I ignored it for a while, but now I love playing it acousticly on my guitar. Its almost as fun as Space oddity, almost! but it hasn't a different flavor, I love the line "But the little green wheels are following me, oh no not-again!".

My g/f thinks I'm mad, but that's ok.

[ale67bianca]

La classe non è acqua!

[jungmin92]

amazing!

[breackroadsweeper]

This song is amazing, the bass player i would think has to play how it is on the record and definetly doesn't get his own input into the song.

[qcmv22]

Good song. But very bad bass player. Keep it

simple buddy...

[redpcr]

very bad bass player??!!! lol you are cluesless.. he's brilliant and it's bowie who calls the shots on what he wants played live

[cgnetwork1]

@redpcr Also, the great Adrian Belew, who played guitar for Bowie for a while there, has said on numerous occasions that he was very pleased that Bowie let him add some to the songs when played live, so obviously Bowie has confidence in his players.

[everymatt]

still LOL'ing @ qcmv22's comment... google the name mark plati and hang your head in shame.. there's nothing like a nobody making patronizing comments to accomplished players... buddy!

[LadyScreaming]

That's one of David Bowie's best songs ever!

[Maddox23a]

short I sufficiently musics of the David Bowie.

[agentshinobi9]

*somebody's* translator went wrong here...

[bigdb2984]

the bass hook is amazing! what a great song!

[lifeismusic08]

one of his best songs.
