David Bowie - Ashes to ashes (live by request)

[europabridge]

The beauty of this arrangement slays me every time ... Bowie himself one of the major artists of this century - and such a decent person ... Love this one in particular - how he sings & performs for a two year old. So dear ...

[1803becky]

Fantastic video. One of the best artists ever

[kocnn]

[kocnn]

Thank You David BOOWIE, that was awesome, I needed a little funk tonight

[kocnn]

@kocnn thanks George!

[Chynaash]

How come no one is requesting him to do As The World Falls Down or Under Ground?

Sorry but I can't help it. I love those songs and would have called it in.

[brettsambrook]

[JacobYellow]

Number one in the charts when I was born and I would still go and see him live. I mean - I would literally main - and kill - to go and see him live. :oD

DAVE!!!

[TheBeatleman66]

there you have it, yet another generation of Bowie fans. Good on yer George !

[mrwhitford1966]

Bowie is the real deal . . . a true class act. God we need him now in this age of crap bands and singers who can't sing. One of a kind.

[blooddonor70]

My ten year old son knows more Bowie lyrics than most adults, it's great.

[eclectica1]

@blooddonor70 And how many times a week do you wash his brain?

I'm kidding, don't sue me :-)

[kpix99]

George rocks!!!!!

[rtjolie]

My rock man!

Absolute musical brilliance.

Who needs TV with so much fantastic music?

[Albatrostardust9]

I want my kids to be like this George once I get to be a dad.

[MrShoeman21]

This great. Thank you George!

[unitcaptain11]

[suebro100]

[combatmedicd1]

The guitars compliment each other fantastically.

[soksy3]

good lad George you have a super dad

[enginedog]

Who else has stayed cool for 40 years, constantly re-inventing himself. It's a short list

[TheShinyjack]

@enginedog Bowie & Dylan, can't think of anyone else

[azzaboi93]

@TheShinyjack Exactly what I was going to say. Bowie and Dylan have shaped modern music and stayed cool.

[toddhehl]

THanx George....

[TheBraybeatles]

amazing version. only bowie could make such an old song sound so new.

[bmclaughlin01]

OMG......Where does this come from. This is just f........ amazing.

[Velvetspoonful]

I mean - ' man have you ever heard such a groove in any band ? ,'it was damn obvious they just had to be British.Holy crap.I'm not too surprised this is awesome,what a genius Bowie was.Bass player just singing along,as well,amazing,utter bowiness...Is masterfully achieved.

[JamesOhGoodie]

- "Hi David Bowie!"

- "Hi George!"

I like this kid!

[kennycabe]

[GrunterStool]

Major Tom's crash landing. Lou Reed would have suggested valium.

[verrru]

[ozzfann]

[TheCandiy]

Damn played it already like 20 times, wish i had kids and teac them about music :)

[legunncat]

These three guitarist are so locked into each other. Some of the finest textured, layered and beautiful guitar I have ever heard.

[Metropolyz]

how old is George now?

[ferdinandsouz]

@Metropolyz 14 years old, I Think.

[edgaritoism1]

EVEN KIDS LIKE HIS MUSIC DAVID ABSOLUTELY "ROCKS".

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

George was one lucky little dude.

[bleeptester]

Bowie is the master, cowell is the jester.

[ezaube1030]

I am just wondering if people could request ANY Bowie song in that show or if there was a list they could choose from? In between the songs there were some short piano parts with Bowie songs they did not play, like "Time" or "Lady Grinning Soul" for example. I also would have loved to hear one of these rather rare songs.

[JonBonBowie]

hello david bowie!

[mrsswilly1]

Does anyone know how this DVD can be purchased?

[societ39]

@mrsswilly1 yes

[MOBFire100]

"can you play ashes to ashes for me?" oh, God, how cute.

[Blarvtooth1]

And people can listen to Lady Gaga for more than ten seconds when there's this.

[badkluster]

Nobody could say no

[Erics5th]

Brilliant song, brilliant performance!

[Laudeverd]

[PopCultureSucks]

[RobertYoung33]

14 people are dust to dust.

[edwigederer]

super comme ça en live sur commande bravo bowie love

[Cleo4696]

As a listener, i never bore of bowies music. but i feel very sorry for him, considering he wrote the songs in the first place, that he always has to perform his 'classic' tracks, that he's had to perform for up to forty years.

Dont you reckon he's a bit bored of them by now? But bless him he has to keep singing them and singing them and singing them.

But still, i'm forever grateful that he does- Thank you David Bowie :)

[bsp0311]

Awesome, astounding...pick whatever adjective you like

[hingamy]

GEORGE IS ON A HIGHER PLANE.....A DIFFERENT LEVEL......

[pinoyblues69]

[JakeLeeProductions]

So much love for David Bowie, i missed all of the 80's because i wasn't born yet, but thankfully his music lasts forever! <3

[kathyuk28]

What a snappy dresser. Even though he's dressed down, he's wearing armbands to keep his sleeves from drooping. My husband wears them as well.....English thing. I freaking love David.

[DavidBowie58]

They got a message from the Action Man...

"George?...Oh, never mind, I'll call you later". hahaha.

[thisishowweviewit]

The piano riff gives me chills every time.

[kathyuk28]

I would have never thought I would want to shag someone as old as my mother. God, he's gorgeous.

[MsMoonTheLoon]

[AICITEL299]

[FruitySalsa]

Waaaah! this end is sooo beautiful, is there a higher quality version out there?

[Bravefall]

@FruitySalsa You are so right, i've been wondering the same. The guy on synth is worshippable

[AICITEL299]

12 biebber fans =

[AICITEL299]

KEVIN : Hola David ,soy Kevin y estoy con mi hijo de 5 años, que escucha tus canciones desde hace 2 años y quiere pedirte una canción..ven aqui George acercate al telefono.

GEorge: Hola DAvid Bowie, puedes tocar AShes to Ashes para mi?

DAVID BOWIE : Ou me encantaria GEorge ? nunca mientas y te llamare mas tarde.

David no lo llamó pero le envio un poster autografiado :D

[roofrack101]

@AICITEL299 lolz totally agree man!

[TheVenusProject2]

I was about 18 years of age, on shore leave in Tunis, with a ship mate from South Shields UK, on a Hotel dance floor off my face, . brrrp.. (I think the hotel was used in a starwars movie) and we requested David Bowie. The hotel DJ gladly obliged and to the surprise of the hotel guests at the time , we really got things going that night. It`s great how the old great artists and certain songs/tracks remain with us as significant memories in our lives.

[leahva29]

This song makes me happy! I LOVE IT!!!



[bboytracks]

The keyboard player is too busy on this track! It's too much!

[bboytracks]

Bowie is a total legend!

[YaraGChiara]

David Bowie's presence on stage is so riveting that we often forget about how great his band usually is. This one is no exception: there's some amazing bass-playing by Gail Ann Dorsey here - she alternates the melodic lines with very creative, syncopated chords. As for Bowie, no comments: he's so charming, talented and gracious that he wins you just by the way he smiles!

[MarylinDogon819]

Grab the audio from this tune at soundnabber doht cohm.

[DolphinInTheSunset]

My daughter, 15 at this time, is also taking after mom and is quite the Bowie fan. I guess I was the one that introduced her to David's music. It's also a parents job to make sure your children listen to tastful great music.

[MrDarthinite]

Im 14 and I LOVE DAVID BOWIE!!!

[NoJboysAPN0Journey]

ja ja ja lovely english accent! George is so cute.

[lepague]

I love his honest smile, specially at 0:40

[TheOpinionatedPerson]

His smile is as beautiful as his music :O

[mylifeasart]

This video is X'mas present for us. Thank you David and George.

[sacomusic]

"Hi David Bowie can you play Ashes To Ashes for me?"

LOL!!!!!!

Great clip thanks for sharing!!!

[jjv623]

this is amazing how hes actually arsed about a phone call during his set. David Bowie = nothing short of pure Legend x

[kookoobananas14]

I don't know why but this made me cry.

I knew of David Bowie since I was very young but I always preferred The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and some jazz. I always skipped over David Bowie songs never really taking the time to listen to them. Finally now at age 16 I was playing my itunes and this song came on. It changed my life..instead of skipping over I actually listened and realized the genius. Now I can't listen to anything but Bowie..

I still don't know why this vid made me cry tho.

[Sparkina]

That was major cool. Even if George, now a teen,has forsaken the enchanting musical stylings of Mr.(Emperor of Contemporary Music) Bowie for the Jonas brothers, Justin Bieber and all those other talentless silly infants who pass for musicians these days,the fact will remain that he had actually spoken to The Gentleman! Coolest beans going. But like I said, in my opinion, Bieber and the Jonases are a bunch of no-talent silly infants and Bowie is the EMPEROR

[JuanAndreful]

@Sparkina silly assumption.george listening to bieber-jonas's?this is your attempt to plug in cliché bashing of popy stars.unoriginal thought and thing to do.don't get why people fall for this.there has ALWAYS been shitty pop as great pop(bowie1example).is so easy to avoid biebertypeshit music.if it was possible beforecommunicationrevolution(­internet),its possible now,easier. who cares what bieber does?don't listen.ur helping elongate his impact in pop culture by falling into this cliché.
