David Bowie - Suffragette City

[chironsynchronicity]

Great to discover this clip, as I was at this gig - sobering to think that it's 40 years ago now.... Happy memories of the evening, and of some great highlights, particularly Bowie's stunning rendition of the Jacques Brel song "Port of Amsterdam".

[JennaP46]

Cool...:)

[JetBoyofBabylon]

Magnifique, merci beacoup

[wafflegal101]

his jacket kinda reminds me of those dresses that you see celebritiy women wear with the slit down the middle of the chest, showing side boob and the middle of the torso. this is more tolerable to look at though. (imagine seeing all of these outfits in person though! seeing it on video is whatever)

[GloucesterAdam]

Imperial College? Interesting as members of Queen were there at the time of filming.

[noobkillr69]

whats with the beefheart intro?

[iRuSHxL3G3ND]

Shit song :L

[2stonemat]

@iRuSHxL3G3ND Obviously you have no taste. I bet you like Justin Gayber if you don't like David Bowie. He inspired so many musicians, and what have your precious musicians done? Had like 3 platinum hits. Bowie has an entire ALBUM full of Platinum records.

[iRuSHxL3G3ND]

@2stonemat Justin Gayber? Nice one :L I Dont like him actually and i dont care if they got platinum hits or not im not going to stop liking something just cuz of how many platinums someone got.

[wognignignog]

@2stonemat YOU ARE SUCH A CHILD! I SUGGEST YOU GROW UP, YOU FUCKING CUNTY!

[alexandermorison]

Love this footage. That outfit Bowie has on was one of Freddie Buretti's creations and also appears on the later front cover of the man who sold the world.

[TheDantheman1997]

WAM! BAM! THANK YOU MAM!

[harrypalms1112]

I really like his blouse.

[rocktenniscat]

Sound is awful, but the rawness and energy totally make up for it. We LOVE YOU DAVID and MICK RONSON! Rip Mick - sorely missed. 

[InKa4484]

[mslizzyborden]

[hektorm]

[LostBlackBook]

Maybe I AM deaf. Ever think about that? Why did your mother teach you to hate deaf people?

[rewardtots]

Yes I've been told that a lot of deaf people click onto youtube just to torture themselves, didn't know you were one of them.

Actually i'm surprised you got any of the lyrics at all, if you're deaf...do you lip read ?

[Eddynew]

Is that mick ronson on guitar??

[rogerthedogs2]

yeah the one and only,he also played on bob dylans rtr 1976 tour. highly underated and sorely missed. rip mick

[cardenw]

[SOMOGYI8230]

No, its Mickey Mouse. All dressed up like Mick Ronson. Amazing, isnt it?

[Tommycopter]

Sarcasm on the internet is the fastest way to become an internet tough guy.

[SHAZZAM123455]

wow..... just wow

[fredushka]

my favourite song. can listen to it always. thanks

[9lash]

wham bam thank ya ma'am

[kdord220]

dont lean on me man if you cant afford the ticket.....??

[LostBlackBook]

"You can't afford the chicken! Buh-gawk!"

[Finnishleftwing]

Lol, the first time i heard it I thought they said "California chicken".

[therealspaghetti]

lmao. Me too. Then I thought he said "you ain't got time for chicken". After listening more I realized he said "ain't got time to check in".

[pamplemousse80]

i thought it was 'you aint got thai chicken'

whoops.

[hawbster]

baha

[doorsmorrison1]

the actual words are "YOU CANT AFFORD TO CHECK IT", look it up. since its live however they can say whatever the hell they want. so at 1:50 when they are supposed to say "YOU CANT AFFORD TO CHECK IT", Bowie clearly says it right, but the other guy either fucks it up on accident or just plain ruins it by saying "YOU CANT AFFORD THE CHICKEN". one of the best rock songs ever.

[aloralove]

lol, chicken. One of them definitely says that.

[cheesequest43]

i thought they said can`t afford the chicken at one point

[PoisonMilly]

yeah its at 1.53

i know later it sounds like aint got time to check in but it sounds exactly like chicken

wow i started a whole debate lol

[stanstroke5]

nah man its definetly chicken

[chillincharlie]

Wow, what rare footage! This is pre-Ziggy Stardust world tour. He's wearing the outfit from The Man Who Sold the World's American re-release cover.

[theman1789]

No You Are Wrong This Is The 3rd Show From The Tour Fact

[stanstroke5]

I swear aint making a joke at

1:53 they say

THEY CANT ENJOY THE CHICKEN

[handsomerob48]

It's actually "cause you ain't got time to check in".

[stanstroke5]

sorted

[stanstroke5]

they cant enjoy the chicken??

[SCOSTEVEG]

XD Now You Mention It Lol

[PoisonMilly]

i just listened to this song and thought 'ive heard this before...'

its in the rockband advert

and i thought they were singing 'cant afford the chicken' lol (in the advert) great song xx

[Aquiellez]

[tapiocaELMO]

One of the best songs, EVER.

[josepolo950]

YES indeed!!!!

[josepolo950]

o ne of the Velvet u sounds like that?

[Reint25]

Perhaps White Light/White Heat (or maybe Waiting for the Man or Run Run Run)?

[MandyKazooBowie]

Who me? Cuz ya I am a HUGE fan lol. I am working on watching all the videos. Not very far yet, considering there are over 24000.

[MandyKazooBowie]

Wow I didnt realize how stupid so many people were about David. I mean gosh, if u know nohing else, if u here his accent it is a British one. He isn't American, though he does live in America currently. David rocks! Though this song sounds better when it is recorded, I love it anyway David is the best!!!

[ZepKnebworth79]

[freebird1839]

[attolia2491]

"She said she had to squeeze it but she...and then she..."

>.o

Pure thoughts, pure thoughts...

[BucksStudent]

Mick Ronson = Brilliant guitarist.

[mummacole]

talktal are you taking the piss?Bowie was born in Brixton a tough [part of the UK .He is so british it ain't funny.His eyes are like that due to gettin punched in a fight which blinded him in his blue eye (it lost its pigmentation)So Give it up for the Brilliant Brit BOWIE FOR EVER

[unit646]

he didnt lose pigment its just dilated forever

[mummacole]

Thanks mate .I knew he was in a fight read it womewhere once.Hes had a pretty hard life at the start but he's brilliant which shows with sheer grit you can get over lifes shit

[crislagunas]

Bowie is English

[oliverandjohn2]

Yes born in Brixton London

[talktal]

what? he's from new york, bro

[LadyCayenne]

He lives in NY but he's English.

[talktal]

you liar! he's an american. america is #1 in all!

[GlorialProductions]

ahahahah HAHAHAHA

[salatatabaa]

no his father is french and his mother is chinese. he was born in england but he's not american or english at all.

[GlorialProductions]

that's actually why his eyes are the way they are

[EPlayaFace]

ROFL you gotta be kiddin' me?! XD haha

[papageorgiothepimp]

yeah he has a song, I'm afriad of americans, i'm sure he's not american!

[talktal]

it's called irony! he's american, so he makes a song about being afraid of americans. it's a political statement, man

[LetsBurnGoats]

XDDDDD

This is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

HE'S A BRIT YOU TARD!

LAMO.

[talktal]

a brit? brits are fags, idiot. he's an american.

[10track]

what a knob you are !!

[droogless]

Did you go to the same school as that idiot president of yours?

[vaugjo]

Ok... well you're an utter tit aren't you? How fucking stupid could you be to put that up here, you clearly don't have a clue.

I suppose you think AC/DC and the Rolling Stones are American too?

[RAHellion]

What???

[PrideofChadderton]

HAHAHAHAHAHA you absolute mongoloid, i have no doubt in my mind that you are not a fan

[zaynzaynzayn]

amazing footage for the bowiephile. check out bowie's screams. much rougher than the official histories make that postmetal glam period. bowie was more rock than gay in retrospect ha.

[mrsam240]

He's German

[JUDIDENG]

he spoke french.. I 'm guessing he's French...

[moustachu2000]

he spoke a french from 'france'

[spideygod3122]

my favorite song ever......

[crazybluemongoose]

more specifically, what is he?

[thefinewino]

The answer is "awesome".

[majorpimpage]

Exactly. This wino is a wise man indeed.

[Derteufell666]

Where did he come from.

[ronofan]

unbelievable video. tell me there's more of this footage somewhere. great period in bowies career. early ziggy still working out the words.

[barrasdemarte]

y el mio es el 17 que mierda tiene que ver

[stickpee]

mine is 5th LoL

[gabe1235]

...Feb 12th is my birthday :)

[Carolin72]

Mine too :D

Suffragette city is my favourite song from the Ziggy era.

[glamrockchick92]

:D my fave Bowie song aff all time from my fave era of Bowie!!

WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM!!!!

[UTBESUX]

Been a Bowie fan forever and never seen this. BRAVO thank you. Anyone know of any new sites/programs that download youTube clips? The greedy fucks at YouTube/Google keep blocking the downloads.

[ProudAnselmo]

Try DownloadHelper extension for Firefox. I just tried it for this video and it worked fine. VideoDownloader is useless now.

[DickStainy]

tubesock

[BoRhap]

To me, THIS is Ziggy Stardast. The latest version with the red hair and the glamish look is the top of it, but there's something more honest in this semi- ellegant look.

[MNmadness101]

hell yeah it is

[qwerty347]

this is gonna be fun to play on rock band for the 360

[Netinterspace]

yep

[Dinoshaur]

Can't wait to play this in Rock Band.

[D7gR]

yeah ! this songs rocks !

[195948]

great song but this concert was one of many ...he's had enough and is bored by this stage

[ThePlasticHassle]

wait a tick, isn't this captain beefheart? not david bowie

[archer1949]

keep watching.

[5winston]

Bless him. My life began here.

[Netinterspace]

this is so different from the one in Driver: Parallel Lines

[Driverman2008]

Yeah it is. This version is live. In Driver: Parallel Lines, it was the studio-recorded "More Clear" version. But it still is my favorite song no matter if it's live or not.

[Villxe]

Yeah t is, but the song is still great

[homegirrl]

Wow, great footage:)

I'm so used to listening to Bowie, sometimes I forget just how novel and and grungy that song was for 72. dang.

[stupidfool123]

Amazing. nuff said.

[patchesonice]

imperial college! No way!

[slickebajs]

Did he mean: Back in U.S.S.R?

beatles, white album

[Darinor]

Isnt Back in the USSR the beatles piece where they rip of beach boys? Not much beach boys over this.
