David Bowie - Hang On To Yourself (Live Hammersmith 1973)

[spiderwolf9]

I only have one thing to say....Nigel Tufnel.

[blackkat77]

i just ordered a new copy of this on dvd cause my old one went funny.. maybe i was watching it 2 much i dunno, lol!

[dejahthoris]

thats some hot fucking rock and roll

[CookieMischief8]

David Bowie could pull things off that today's so-called artists cannot. He kicks more ass than Chuck Norris.

[repelghosts]

La Bowie comes out like a fucking rocket!

Woodrat girl - Mick was a genius - one of the best guitarists ever - makes the rest look like total pussies including slash, zappa this is how a geetar should be played.

[kiekiek]

@loopert1000 don't compare slash with zappa, zappa is ten times greater, and definitely not a pussy.

[nkmcfrln]

@kiekiek slash, zappa and bowie are all connected to each other in a big way that i don't think you have a clue about. none of them would be slagging each other so shut your mouth.

[Primogose]

Always wondered why did they put this concert on sale with such a terrible sound. It doesn't make justice to how good this band was

[TheFacelessK]

i just bought this album its awesome so raw and really punky rock and roll some might say it was sloppy but i say it helps you realize the genius thats is Bowie :3

[stewballs7]

@TheFacelessK The pistols, Banshees etc the list goes on borrowed quite a lot of the imagery and guitar sound

[JLC48]

THIS WAS MUSIC and kicks the ass of anything being put out today!!!! TIMELESS and PRICELESS!!!

I had the Ronson haircut...my best friend had the Bowie haircut . God those were the days...great memories!!! Wouldn't trade them for anything!!

[ziggy95]

@JLC48 Couldn't agree more

[dejahthoris]

@JLC48 I had the bowie haircut in 73, and have it again now

[stewballs7]

@dejahthoris me too mate it has silver bits in it, but its still there, I get a bit sick of the sad twats who don't get it though........... the why have you got an 80's haircut etc fucking thick ignorant gets

[repelghosts]

Gemma, there were the kids eating food,dancing, fucking in the last back rows later on...what an era...the era of the greatest...I would never trade my past for millions of anything...

Luv on ya,

Jeff

[repelghosts]

David comes out like a rocket...always....

[papowiesse]

Watta fun fkg clip!!!...These fkrs rock!!!...all of them!

watta

[zimzum5]

Yeah, the spiders, I know, Mick is a great guitar player, but for me Trevor Bolder and Woody wodmansey are great too, they made a great band. The bass guitar sounds incredible the whole concert.

[JulesJive]

Hangin' on, David! Ya know... I even had that haircut. *lol*

[VeraLynn72]

You're my hero for having that haircut.

[JulesJive]

But alas... it wasn't orange as I was only about 12! I DID do hot pink though many years later... and there were also many years of blue-black! I was also platinum for a very long time... and who knows what it will be tomorrow!

[bowiesyoungestfan]

mean song!!

[TruthAxe]

What a major influence this song is.

A song like this kicked off the Ramones and punk music.

[ianhunter44]

Ronno's the greatest.

[JRebG]

Mick and Bowie absolutely rock this show.

[SKOTHAI]

Are you kidding? Both of them are fucking amazing. It's essentially musical sex.

[SKOTHAI]

Oh Bowie! You're amazing!

[cocochoca]

if you think you gonna make it you better hang on to yourself.............so true!!

[DanielPaul56]

Mick Ronson was a guitar God.

[bluu999]

Great song to warm up the amplifiers with. Crank it up man. Louder!

[thestarsign]

Love it! Love him! Love his music!

Music just doesn't get any better than this. Bowie is a true individual, talented and unique. No-one can touch him. He is so f*cking cool.

[WoodRatGirl]

Rock on in Heaven Mick Ronson!

[repelghosts]

David comes out like a rocket....

[Tojan012]

Happy Easter, David!  Though I doubt you'll ever see this comment...

Anyway, I really want to meet you one day (I'm saying all this as if I'm talking to him, aren't I?) and you're basically my idol.

[Indio156]

PS...to us, at that time, David was the MOST GORGEOUS man, and he was like a living Glitter Rock Messiah to us. I recall how the crowd would part, like the parting of the Red Sea when he would walk in to watch a Dolls show at the Mercer Arts Center at the height of the evening, with everyone dancing. There was NO ONE like him. That silent, cool, power, yet so nice and down to earth if you were hanging in his circle. Mick Ronson was a GORGEOUS man too, with beaucoup charisma! RIP Mick.

[thestarsign]

God I would LOVE to hear more of your stories. How wonderful that you were THERE in amongst all that cool music, fashion, clubbing. You must have the best memories of that scene.

[Indio156]

riff88m, you are RIGHT.  I am 52, and I am from NYC, and was THERE at the Hammersmith Odeon in 73, and from the time I was 14, I hung with people like David and the Dolls at Max's. If it wasn't for people like David and the NY Dolls, and all the Glitter rock, there would NEVER have been Punk, some years later.

[riff88m]

wow this is punk rock :LOL

[boundandfallen]

i have such love for this man. <3

[mark030405]

Bowie is the best of my youth absolutely adore his music

[belia1313]

Me and my friend Laurie rock out like you and Mick did back in the day minus the guitar and amps

[repelghosts]

bloody right he did kiddo...finally someone who knows , no, processed what they have observed all these years from David.

[livingdeadgirl2012]

seems to me like bowie influenced almost every contemporary musical genre...all of them that matter anyway

[repelghosts]

Like a rocket Jeff you got babe, happy New Year man...

[smacks220]

Bowie invented punk. Punks worship him.

[Indio156]

I was among one of the Original Punks, in NYC and LDN, and I can say I agree with you. David and also Mott the Hoople were the ones we looked up to when it was Glitter Rock, and then we moved to Punk. If it wasn't for David, Mick, and all the guys in Mott, and the NY Dolls, there would never have been Punk.

[repelghosts]

David comes out like a rocket...as always.

[Sabored]

You're The Blessed, We're The Spiders From Mars.

[elizaloo1234]

she wants my honey not my money !

[repelghosts]

miss ya and always luv ya Mick!

J

[repelghosts]

David comes out like a rocket....

[annimatrix]

YOUr style is always soooo perfect. if YOU didn't exist it would be so sad keep doing whatever YOU are doing We Love You!!!

[dariushenry88]

I know this came out like few years before Punk came out, but this song sounds so Punk Rock back then. Nobody can say that Bowie did not influence Punk.

[davidsgnome]

Hey everyone. What I don't understand is that a while back, he announced he was gay, but today I found out he has a wife and a kid.

How does that work?

Bowie, u can be anything, gay straight, who cares.

You are absolutely the B_E_S_T

[daVman93]

Bowie has no gender he can morph it at will!!

he RULES!!!

[FrankOmazing]

bowie <333

[mybabba]

I wish I could have seen Bowie live during this period of his career.

[MarkDChapmanJr]

EVERY time I have ever heard Ronson's solo in this recording, the hair stands up on my neck and I get goose bumps. One of the greatest moments in rock and roll in my mind!

[itsmewildbill]

Couldnt have said it better myself! That's when rock stars were really rock stars!

[mahueles]

I love this solo too, and the one in moonage daydream is even better!!!

[Josenismyname]

How did the mime of '69 become that?

[MarkDChapmanJr]

No shit! I've thought that before too, nice one

[GardenOfEros]

I always heard it as "We just ball and play".

[Josenismyname]

It's supposed to be that.

[Johnnymmr]

MY favorite Bowie song!

[jane119]

one amazing video one amazing song
