David Bowie - Memory Of A Free Festival

[JagWar1752]

Happy birthday David!!!!!!!

[mrdutchmandan]

Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon, to paint that love upon a white balloon, and fly it from the topest top of all the tops, that man has pushed beyond his brain, satori must be something just the same

Brilliant lyrics.

[alaphize]

Hey lovers.. I first heard this 20 years ago as a 20 yr old...(yeh)...but can anyone tell mewhat 'satori' actually is? cos i've allllwwwaaays wondered!? THANKS FOR ANY WISDOM / KNOWLEDGE.The sun machine is comin down....... ;)

[sumirieko]

@alaphize

'Satori' is a Japanese word which means realizing something.

Also in Buddhism 'satori' means attainning spiritual enlightnment of Buddha. It is said that people can get to 'satori' after throwing away some dark thoughts like desires,obsessions,boubts etc..from their mind.

[Lookeach]

satori must be something just the same...

i felt just the same when i heard it ...

it was terrific, colossal!

[jbrough99]

MEMORIES...CAMERO WINDOWPANE AND MY FIRST GIRL

[Julzdances703]

God I love him. Wished I was alive back in the 60's and 70's so I could have seen him live. This is what real music is.

[mimibett]

GOOSEBUMPS...LOVE BOWIE SOOOO MUCH!!! xx



[TheMummypie]

Someone passed some bliss amongst the crowd..

[hatterallridge]

I have grown up with David Bowie, it has been an absolute pleasure.

Thank you , a true talent.

[krallstello]

This was on a "top ten favorites song list" online, from (ex Bauhaus) singer Peter Murphy recently. He isn't just talented, he has great taste in music as well :)

[ssj4timoteo]

Does anyone know the version of this song that plays in Giles house in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

[MichalFokt]

Mr.Bowie´s "goodbye" to the happy hippie era, kinda sad how short that love period lasted, generally :(

[popp1nbottlez]

fun fun fun fun

[jasmoosey]

brings back good memories

[abc991954]

So many youthful memories tks DB

[SadLisa777]

Is there anybody out there wants to be "one of the people" around David that day:-DD?

[ezramead]

In memory of a memory

[purplehairgirl50]

it just doesn't get much better. rap has sucked the life out of music. this is real. brilliant.

[TheFairenoughclough]

Bliss, my perfect day gets even better, that video is amazing.

I'm back at Old Trafford, Manchester in the pouring rain and "Suede " are doing a poor "Bowie" tribute and then later the clouds part, the sun breaks through and David Bowie strides out and delivers a superb performance.

Thank you very much.

[sonicadv27]

if you notice his voice is always switching slowly between the left and right speakers along the song.

[Opqosite]

chord organ!

[noproblem53]

He was a genious when I was 15 and his brilliance is just as bright now that I am close to 60 I f it wasn't for Mr Bowie -glam -new romantic or punk would never have been and the world would be a sadder place.Thank you!!!!

[zzzOrion]

Brilliant !

[howdido2002]

can hear the organist tapping keys at the beggining

then a beautiful sound comes out,, the thin white dukes voice..

great tune love it every sound

[TheNgamer1]

This...Song...Is AWESOME! :D

[zaynzaynzayn]

that chorus is a killer. someone passed some bliss among the crowd. hehe

[Zeuszgrl]

Where did you get the pic @5:00 to 5:05 from ?

Is that David relaxing at home ?

He look so healthy there !

[LogInAnders]

@Zeuszgrl When David Bowie relaxes at home he only wears fabulous.

[rocktenniscat]

Very poetic - eerie too. This is very beginning of Mick Ronson's career with David Bowie. Imagine all the great music Ronson would have made if he had lived. Sadly missed, Ronno

[64adman]

This song really captures the essence of London in the late sixties or early seventies-full of (naive?) blissed out optimism-but there's nothing wrong with peace,love and harmony,right?

[tmafkap]

@64adman Right! :)

[ezramead]

this is a 12 on a scale.

[etomkinson]

This is some of the finest poetry he ever wrote

[billabongBUTTS]

superb

[nopseudosleft56]
