Saw the "Reality" tour. Absolutely adore this version-love the way it was stripped back.
This and "Under Pressure" were the moments during the concert that, basically, I started crying like a baby! There's something that involuntarily happens when you hear some of your favourite songs performed live. Same thing happened with The Pixies when they did "Where Is My Mind?" live!
Please god, let David Bowie make one more tour. I don't care where he would go, I would travel around the world if I must to see him live. I love him, and I'm not gay.
PS:Why are there always people commenting about their age and preferred music? Is it something new, and do they use it in other conversations.... '' 'I'm 12 years and i want to make clear that I only like coca cola and will never ever EVER drink orange juice.'' Who cares....
Have seen Bowie many times, Reality tour being the last time....... I hope and pray that one day, just one day, he will tour again though seriously doubt it after his health scare a few years back. Simply put BOWIE WALKS ON WATER!
I'm 20 and when I was 4 I fell in love with David Bowie for the film Labyrinth. Since that time I've never stop to listen his music. I wish I could see David Bowie at least once in my life. Please, that's important for my mental sanity, one last tour.
Any piece of music pre-1990 I look at on youtube, the highest rated comment is "I'm [instert young age] and I listen to REAL music, none of that [instert contempory musician] crap!!!!!!!". Well fucking done. Shut up.
I don't think it's been declared officially. Not surprising, because I doubt someone like him would want to officially put an end to something that was his whole life, before he's even dead. Too proud for that!
@mastert316 He's never confirmed he's retired. I think he is essentially but the door is open if the mood ever takes him. If he were to tour ever again, though, it won't be on the same level as Reality or Diamond Dogs and I think he would only do the USA, the UK and some choice locations in Continental Europe. I don't think the likes of Japan, Australia, New Zealand, blablabla, will ever see him again.
@mastert316 Bowie has never stated he's retired. He's left the option open. For all intents and purposes, though, he does seem to have called it a day.
@DEBBOMB I'm just 19 and I cant stop listening to this song.... that much that I play it with my band =) (i'm the pianist and it's amazing to see my singer sing that =)
@DEBBOMB I agree I think it really sad that old bowie not active anymore, maybe some modern pop star could let him do a duet or work as a backing singer or something , maybe he should write to robbie williams or phil collins ,I`m sure modern audiences would like him if they had the chance ;-)
About a month ago and already I hear you and I love you, my heart beats fast to see, to hear. Thank you for reaching this point in my life, to fill the spaces that others have managed to leave, no doubt ... came into my life to stay.
i want this played at my funeral im only 22 so i missed the man himself in his prime ...what i would give to do a sam tyler. Thank god my uncle was a ziggy head lol
He is amazing. I remember getting to know Ziggy Stardust as a 10-year-old child, and thinking, wow, I've never heard anything like this! First music I really grativated towards was Bowie. He introduced me to the truth that art is on more than one level; true art could invite you in and give you something that money couldn't even buy.
Hey guys, David Bowie has had a tremendous influence on my song writting. Could you check out my song "Trip to Freecloud" in my channel and tell me what you think? Thanks! I'll be posting more within a couple of days.
Despite being a huge Bowie fan I never really regarded him a singer. That changed when I saw him perform this song live. When he hit the chorus line note at 1:55 it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. An awesome songwriter, performer and...singer. Pure genius.
I'm 14 years old and I made something clear for myself, I will NEVER IN MY LIFE stop listening to this music, it's the real music, not that justin bieber crap music.
@WoWerrty You go for it. Bowie is a genious.. In recent months lots of singers/bands have said they would like to work for him. I got into Bowie when I was 12 y.o I am now 46. He's part of the family
@WoWerrty you go for it. I was 12 when I became a huge Bowie fan ((along time ago). Bowie has the voice the songs the originality all in abundance. Enjoy your listening
Im only 20 so i never really had as much exposure to Bowie as previous generations but i have just become fixated with Bowie at the moment, just amazing!
david bowie's truly amazingly unique voice and mike garsons spine chillingly magical fingers.......this is truly a masterpiece never to be outdone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
excellent... I was on this tour in czech but unfortunately, he had to quit because of his heart (heart attack I think). important is, he is alive and on the road again:-)
I really wish all these "im 14/15/16 and i love this" comments would stop appearing on every music video. Your not the first young person to like good music and you wont be the last! Its nothing special!
THIS is how it's done... despite all the covers, all the imitations, no one can beat this man. He is a rockstar, a god of music through and through, and we are damn lucky to have him!
Does any1 kno where ALL the parts of this concert are? Or any other concerts on the tour... I didn't get to go to any of them during this tour or any of his tours... I'm DESPERATE to see him in concert anyway I can... I doubt he's likely to do anymore tours now that he's 64...
