The Ronson Bowie duets....

[repelghosts]

HARD HUGS...GEMMA

[peterbareford]

I had the whole concert on video now long lost, I used to get trashed to this every saturday evening! Mick Ronson (RIP) was brilliant too

[Dandan57]

saw him @ the stanley theatre in pittsburgh,pa..sept. '73..still have the poster i was given as i stood in line out front..i was 16 years old..something you'll NEVER see again..ranks in my top 5 concerts of all time!

[Ellathegreatable]

god i want to be mick ronson when he jumps on him ;)

[18andreab]

God I love this. Tell Y'all a funny story relating to it. My cousin was the Bowie Fan, who had the LP I played at my aunties. There I was, aged 7 singing the lines '..time he flexes like a W...re falls w..k..g to the floor..etc. Ha ha ha. Asked my aunty 'aunty, what does w..k...g' mean. She said she didn't know and to ask my Mum. So I asked my Mum and she said she didn't know!  I still don't know..!! (aha ha ha!). Can anyone enlighten me? ha ha ha!

[deejayzak]

@18andreab wanking is another word for masturbating, you asked your aunty and mum, lmao

[18andreab]

@deejayzak I am now more worred that my Mum and Aunty didn't know what it was. Do you think that they copped out of telling me....hmmmmm.....modesty prevents me from commenting any further on naughty words sung by rock stars!!!!! :)

[rocker70sman]

This is the david I like...as Ziggy!! A Year later when he was going through all that cocaine...I dont like that david what so ever...He creeps me out alot..not in a good way either.

[CookieMischief8]

What happened to great performers like David Bowie?

[oOFranCescA2080oO]

2:13 - 2:40 :Q_ i love that part!

[MarqueeMoon95]

He certainly knew how to put on a show.

[emilyownsarat]

They really knew how to put on a show.

[Mobyman690]

LEGEND

[davidlimond]

thanks for not allowing us to embed this ya fucking cunts

[TiggsUK]

what a man/woman

[ab2nd]

I have that 1973 Hammersmith DVD. Mesmerizing... Every time I watch and listen to it, I think that if there were only one rock concert I could have gone to, this would have been the one.

'Time' is one of the best, but the entire performance is top notch, IMHO.

[andrepancreas]

people keep talking and talking about his androgynous looks and avant-garde attitude and just forget about his skills as a musician. your sensibility must be more than thinking he's hot because of his hair and clohtes. just pay attention to this song's lyrics and melodies... he's good because he's a true ARTIST, not only a fashion icon or model of behavior.

[xoxoNewRomanticxoxo]

this must be one of his "cut up" songs.... now that is an outfit

[blackkat77]

i really really like 0:41

[CookieMischief8]

@blackkat77 oooh me toooo.

[crowbarofdeath]

He looks ridiculous. But I guess when your motherfucking David Bowie you can wear whatever the hell you want.

[twangglor]

@crowbarofdeath Hmm Mr. crowbar. Most excellent Spiders, great song, and you're worried about the SWD's wardrobe? Just who is the poofftah here anyway?

[JLC48]

TIMELESS and IRRESISTABLY SEXY!!!!

[DanBlabbers]

Inseshuwush and vain!

[repelghosts]

Just sit there...think you kids seeing this and tell me that if La Bowie performed this number at the Grammys ,back in the day when your Mommy n Daddy were only 12 years old ,...no, I won't tell you...you imagine it...live on a stage....at an awards show....get it?

[sofiverok]

oh my god , is the best !!! na lalala la la la oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh...uohhh­hhhhhh!!!! me enkanta!!!!!!

[chrispycritter2]

Perfection!!!

[ezalbelleinad]

I bet his hair feels like a baby chick.

[ispyashley]

@ezalbelleinad what a seemingly accurate hypothesis.

[gotbugplz]

@ezalbelleinad Nono it's like a duckling, chick, kitten, pomeranian puppy, a rabbit kitten, a fawn, a satin-coat fancy mouse and a pug's ears. <33

[nyusedbooks]

@ezalbelleinad its a wig

[ezalbelleinad]

@nyusedbooks I assure you that that is his real hair, cropped into a mullet. dyed red. It is most certainly not a wig.

[nyusedbooks]

@ezalbelleinad If you watch the Ziggy Stardust video, it shows him putting the wig on.

[TheThroney]

@ezalbelleinad hahaha :)

[emilylouisechurchos]

The most underated Bowie record ever. And the lyrics reference the death of Billy Murcia, 'Billy Doll' who was the original drummer in the New York Dolls.

[Hacker73]

SERIOUS?!? Billy Murcia inspired a Bowie song?!?

Dude, you are really well-informated. Congratulations.

David Bowie lyrics at 70's used be so hermetic --- it's almost IMPOSSIBLE guess which ENIGMA he is talking --- like the Sphinx.

Serious: just TRY to break his code in "The Man Who Sold The World" and tell us WHAT Mr. Bowie is talking. I doubt anyone can get it --- unless you ARE David Bowie himself.

Thank You. And Good Luck.

[xxxblizzlexxx]

wow. i can't stop watching this.

[bernadette607]

YES !

[VeraLynn72]

2:24 makes my life!

Ronno+David=Sexy.

[TheThroney]

your love was real but dreamless

[MissSixtiesPennyLane]

SMILING..... BIG TIME XD

[podingtonbear]

@MissSixtiesPennyLane Same here!!!!!!!!!!

[LadyEdgar]

This song is the definition of beauty and drama and everything artistic. The lyrics, his voice, Mick Ronson, the subject matter, ugh.

[TheThroney]

lol agreed

[Anxypants]

This song is so gorgeous, and watching him perform it at the height of his Ziggydom nearly makes me dizzy. Good stuff.

[RichieMuse]

awesome song

[louisejbjb]

Love his poses and his smiles. Surely had a voice.

[capablemachine]

I think this has to be my favourite version. The passion is there for me.

[brayrrero]

this is amazin

[mmmmmm67]

One of the best songs ever

[maeusesheriff]

Divine Diva

[brayrrero]

david fucking bowie is one of the best fuking singers and bests fuckin song writers ever fuck yea david fuckig bowie

[LadyEdgar]

@brayrrero

fuck yes!

[frednuff]

Ziggy was the best!

[knrose10]

awsome start!

[Assiman]

Time, one of the best Bowie songs ever

[chrispycritter2]

You know I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think Oh God Im still Alive!

[chrispycritter2]

The best lyrics from any human being!

[WILLOW5033]

But he is not human, He is Ziggy from Mars.

[chrispycritter2]

Ziggy the junkie at his best!

[TheThroney]

i wish they stayed together ronson and bowie, bolder, woodmansey.. could only imagine the songs that are never going to be made and just sitting in oblivion

[mizzam]

live at hammersmith just proves what a very powerfull sound the band had with just a four piece, a lot of bands could do with having a good listen to ronsons sound.

[Fabarra]

"Time is waiting in the wings, it speaks of senseless things"..........I love this song. Long live to David Bowie, IS A GENIOUS

[SoothsayerLazarus]

He's more than god!

[mochanov2]

Bowie is God!

[antheaize]

I love this song, and this concert was really paramount!

[kingofstleonards]

This is not a Bowie song I care for a lot, but I have always found this clip very moving, it is amazing.

I

[repelghosts]

Most wicked ending...

[repelghosts]

I was there and every year after.

[insaneforstuff254]

I love watching this concert. It comes on VH1 Classic sometimes. I really should buy it.

Ziggy forever!

[etmeyutub]

great version

[caappeelleetti]

apocaloipticus chile--

[repelghosts]

gals in Toronto still wear feather boas...depends were one goes at night...

[ROoooo80]

Why did feather boas go out of fashion?

[StarZiggy3]

divine!

[harrisongsrule]

i need this movie.

[bass234]

amazon dude!!!

[adizltk]

I can send it to you if you want! But I need a skype, if you don't mind... :-)

[SiggiLyrica]

This is crazy!

I love it

[jmezm7777]

wonderful

[repelghosts]

'and the drawer to dreams was closed',

David Bowie

Time

1973

[Masherbrum]

One of his best tunes ever and there are many, but this one just hits on all cylinders.

[935323]

who wrote this?

[Ravenclawed]

Um, he did.

[935323]

No disrespect, just looking for info/clarification, yo.

[935323]

Um, not according to the album. This is why I asked such a mundane question.

[WoodRatGirl]

Actually he did write it according to the album idiot, so get your facts straight next time.

[935323]

you're quite hotile

[funds450]

This is so good that it's STUPID

[Assiman]

Wrong. This is so stupid that it's good

[bass234]

lol, true

"The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain, Incestuous and vain, and many other last names I look at my watch it say 9:25 and I think "Oh God I'm still alive"..." i don't even wanna know what it means. i would write all the lyrics down if i could

"Chimes - Goddamn, you're looking old You'll freeze and catch a cold 'Cause you've left your coat behind"

[repelghosts]

David always proclaimed that this was rock's answer to the Little Drummer Boy...His gift was to play for the baby....David here ,in this hyper theatrical number,well, he said 'all I have to give to you, is to give you dream'in'

[janmazurczak]

It is great acting, when Guitarman jumps, and David falls to the floor... today musicians have not ideas to perform the show like that, like in theatre...

[cri64italia]

questo pezzo con il pianoforte è veramente unico nella storia della musica

[MushroomP1llowz]

LA LA NAH NAH, NAH NAH NAH NAH!!! :) david bowie (ziggy) ya crazy cat!

[Homeslice737]

BOWIE is a Rock GOD! 'Nuff said...

[opalglassman]

man i am a huge david bowie fan. i am currently collecting every album and single he ever made. in order. i was always a fan of his most popular songs. so i decided to collect all his music and boy o boy im hooked. im at the low album. oh man. this vid is amazing. i wish i was alive in those days. i love after the mike ronson attack.. woo man. david is a rock god

[DJOfRadioGallifrey]

'WANKING TO THE FLOOR'

[XALIENXENA]

PERFECT!

[NinjaOfTheSandx]

Another perfect performance by Mr. Bowie ^_^

[repelghosts]

actually at 2:22 that is a scene/pose that has been much phoyographed...see the book Ziggy Staduast:by David's private photog,Mick Rock...the quote is there amonst thousands of others for you Bowiephiles..I have seen him over 30 times n met him twice...a really funny,funny man...

[repelghosts]

should have seen em do this live with Ronson...esp. when he jumps Roson at the end and places his open hand of the guitar fret...

[anntuv]

Who doesn't love an man in a feather boa? David looks so sexy here (but doesn't he always?). Love this song, I keep playing it over and over.

[sixstringfender]

That has to be one of bowies better songs in my book. Mind you, there is'nt allot I don't like buy bowie:)

[bowiebimbo]

***melts in Bowie induced puddles of hormonal lust and euphoria***

***drool***

[unionofthesnake17]

bowie dios del espacio!!!!!!!!

[24hourchemist]

oh god...I have never seen anything so sexy in my LIFE! I forgot to breathe.

[repelghosts]

Yes, they were the original 'Glimmer Twins', we all knew it back then...so happy to hear you younger set enjoy these incredible visuals.

Buy the DVD and listen intently to the director's notes about that scene with Mick jumping David etc.

You will learn a wealth of how David's genius worked,how they rehearsed etc..Awesome,truly.

Even film students watch it.

Best to all!

Jeff

Toronto

a fave city of David and Iman's

[QueenFelicityIV]

I think my brain exploded at 2:22. :D

[Josenismyname]

Guess if I was chocked at 2:22 :O

[Vicarious16]

This makes me as hard as a prosthetic leg.

[pamplemousse80]

argh both Ronson and Bowie are delicious!!!

[seeannaplay]

BRILL.

favorite version

amazing performance

[floerk]

My Messiah, his best song at his best perfomance. I'll kiss your feet for posting.

[repelghosts]

Yes, 2:22-2:28 is probably one of the best scenes shots in rock history...get the dvd of this concert and you will hear Tony Visconti discussing this shot with the director D.A. Pennabaker,and how this position was photographed many times in the 70s.

Jenna

[repelghosts]

'Think of a Marlena Dietrich movie,she on top of the piano,boa 'round her neck,evening gown,early '30s Germany',...quote from David ,concerning the entire feel and flavour of this incredibly decadent song.

Da Girlz

[oizephyr14]

STUNNING performance! Ziggy is one sexy man...I mean Martian.

[HereForBarbara]

Quite possibly the sexiest song and performance ever.

[lifeismusic08]

the messiah of rock stands before his followers =)

[franzchick66]

love this one! the way he sings,

his sexiness, way better than the one on the "cracked actor" documentary.

If I had the pleasure to see what happens with him and ronson live, I would be screaming too!

love bowie!

[sexpistol1979]

i love it when ronson just dominates bowie with his guitar

[shackle5]

ahead of its time

[mammasa]

The best ever!! :D
