David Bowie - Speed of Life

[queenofgoblings]

No wonder that David talked always , in the interviews, that his happiest time ,in music creation was the "german period". Amazing the amount of energy and beauty in this song, Awesome!

[littlebabynothing19]

Who could dislike this?!

[thomaspeakanarca]

Fantastico!



[carteraverde65]

Is the song in my phone!!! I love it;

nothing!!!. Still the song on my phone!!!!

[PeterMayer]

Adrian Belew, our hometown boy (Cincinnati).

[pathofthewhiterose]

I woke up with this song in my head today, and this video is the best version of it. Thanks for uploading it. There is no one cooler than Bowie, just look at him. How iconic..just a master legend.

[geoffrodriguez]

So brilliant

[Jhensy2012]

Not Eddie Jobson on violin, but Simon House. Adrian Belew on lead guitar, Roger Powell of Todd Rundgren's Utopia fame on keyboards.

[ronaldvanderkleij]

Bowie on his best because he isnt singing!!

[Eggs4Eva]

@ronaldvanderkleij blasphemy!!

[bentropy]

As amazing as this point in music history is, may I respectfully suggest that we all stop looking back nostalgically, and become our own 'Bowies' (and by that I mean the exact opposite of imitating him and his styles). Make your own cutting edge syntheses of what you find significant now & in decades passed. He wasn't concocting something entirely original here; he was synthesizing Harmonia, Roxy Music, Eno, Kraftwerk, early 20th Dada/Futurism/Constructivism, Science Fiction, Romanticism etc

[noodiTHEboss]

EPIC

[R5lover]

What a masterpiece...... Bowie is a living legend. That will be all!

[Deliaboard]

Bowie, COME BACK FOR US!

I am 18 years old, and have always loved his music

Bowie 4 ever

[newsjoe]

Been working my way thru the Berlin Trilogy. Stuff is bonkers.

[warhols25]

I love this song, pure gold of creativity hereby

[repelghosts]

and he remembered everyone's name after we spoke with him outside that restuarant...4 of us...and that brought a tear to our all of our eyes..Wonderful,highly intelligent spaceman.

Gemma G.

T..O. the place to be!

[repelghosts]

Kid I've met the La Bowie twice,now I can die....kidding...seen him over 25-30 times since the Diamond Dogs...but, yes, did meet him on the 2 occasions ...wonderful,terribly the 'funny' man,looks into your eyes when you speak to him...and, until you are finshed saying what you are trying to convey to him...absolutely incredible gentelman....also, he remembered every-single-persons name after we introed ourselves...4 of us...how did he do that?

Again...the Bowie!

All hugs to you

Gemma

T.O.

[KeithyLover18]

I WANNA SEE HIM LIVE! :) LOVEEE BOWIE!

[rhythmcorp]

Feeling so Low on this high piece. Thanx for posting this'''

[aschlesinger]

Is that Eddie Jobson on electric violin?

[MrSKINFLICK]

@aschlesinger: YES !

[c8udyp]

I saw Bowie in '87 and '04 but THIS is the tour I wish I would have seen...

[MrSKINFLICK]

@c8udyp: I watched this tour in Cologne Sporthalle - at the time he was also living in Berlin - when they played "Rebel Rebel" as one of several encores people were standing on chairs shaking their asses......he was in the form of his life ! I think living in Germany for 3 years really changed his life and set new dimensions for his creativity !

[deputees]

@zofo666 1.outside is pretty amazing too

thanks for the speed of life video

[Deliaboard]

Is it Carlos Alomar onguitar?

[slunkkk]

adrian belew lead

[OedepusMusic]

I am 20, and I'm really sad I'll never see Bowie live. all you people consider yourselves very lucky.

[zeets93]

dude.....Bowie's not dead....he'll be around for years. He can't sit still. I've seen him 3 times and he never disapoints

[OedepusMusic]

@zeets93 I know he's not dead, but the chances of a new tour/album are very thin.

[zeets93]

have a little faith, even though he's 63 Bowie never sits around for too long. The Reality Album / Tour wasn't that long ago.

[littlewonder18]

@OedepusMusic: I'm 19, I'm also sad that I haven't got to see him in hie prime, but I haven't given up hope yet!

[ivn87]

@OedepusMusic I feel exactly like you... I'm 23

[rmherbert1957]

@OedepusMusic i do. glass tiger in l.a.

[creyavaich]

@OedepusMusic Lol I saw him when he did Heathen and Reality ;D

[Nedzorz1]

@OedepusMusic 37 and KICKING myself for not going to the Earthling shows in montreal. 2 nights in a small venue

[verovital55]

@OedepusMusic i hope you can see him live one time in your live it s magic!!!!!!!

[lukenukem1976]

@OedepusMusic never say never...I want to see him again!

[synile]

@OedepusMusic Being in my twenties as well, I feel your pain. There is still time, so we can all remain hopeful.

[mellobbello]

@OedepusMusic i've also been very disappointed by bowie. i'm 37 and i've known a relatively bad moment for him. i've seen the second tour of tin machine which was hysterical and nonsense, the outside tour which was beautiful and the reality tour which was boring and embrassing. the lucky ones are in their fifties

[smithhedgehog]

@OedepusMusic who says their won;t be one last time?

[jifkitchen]

@OedepusMusic aw, come on. surely we all will.

[Pirate7X]

@OedepusMusic Says who? You can still see him live and he's still a great performer making great music now.

[fuzzballzz36]

@OedepusMusic He's still performing. You can see him if you check out his tour schedule and get yourself some tickets. 

[zofo666]

Personally i think this period(low,heroes and lodger)were his most inspirational and dark and still sound like they could be released today,amazing man!

[zeets93]

throw in Station To Station !

[bresmith]

Im 27 and was really lucky, my dad took me to see Bowie on the Sound and Vision tour when I was 9. What a kickass first concert,

[KorakjaTarzan]

I cant hear anything from guitars tapping part!!!

[Kubrickfan1]

Low gets me high

[fasciatus]

One of Bowie's best

[TheAnthony236]

the guitarist is adrian belew

[fulcrum100]

... Is that Trevor Horn on gutar there, in the oinkish checkish shirt?

[dogonaut]

the keyboard guy @2.22 looks more like Trevor Horn. YouTube killed the video star.

[Eanrin]

Awesome track!!!!!

[ulysses1904]

Cool! This brings me back. I saw him in Houston on that tour, probably the night before or after this one.

[24435155]

saw the same concert at Stafford Bingley Hall England,only 16 years and just joined the army.never forgotten it,it only seems like yesterday,seen him many times since Bowie rules

[gokartmozart]

I was the Houston show too. Great show! I'll never forget the whole evening.

[ulysses1904]

Yeah, it was great that night. We snuck in a tape recorder, was a lot easier to do back then. I still have the tapes somewhere, but the audio is horrible, no surprise there. They went straight from the ending of "Art Decade" into the train sounds for "Station to Station", my favorite part of the tape. Saw him at Madison Square Garden in 1976 too, was an incredible show.

[Bite008]

I feel so young

[cosmichippoted]

best video ever!!!!!!!!!

check out the stage tour video's on my page

[bionicbigfoot]

Daivid Bowie.  Uber-cool

[LadyScreaming]

The Berlin Trilogy is so good. Bowie forever!

[bresmith]

I love glam rock Bowie, 80s Bowie is good, but the Berlin Trilogy and Scary Monsters are by far my favorite work he has ever done.

[luisthedude]

the most experimental as well, the 70's period was bowie's shinning moments, once he got to the 90's and to today, he's become so plastic it's not even funny.

[repelghosts]

Super...brings me back to my living room as a teenager, in the heady days of S 2 Station and the like...seen Dave over 30 times, Gods' gift of grace met him twice...super person,funny,intelligent,atten­tive and always super polite to us...Bowie!

Gemma

and he slapped my arse backstage...I may as well die after that evening in 1976, live in Toronto,Canada.

Luv on ya!

Gemma

[OforOboe]

Thank you, PanPanCucul, for this. Absolutely superb. I have been looking for a good live version of this captured with decent sound, for a while. Ace, all the way.

[SOMOGYI8230]

So great!

[Gogolacka]

oh my! this is great! such fun!

[christiakers08]

Loved it!! I usually dont like instrumentals but this one was great. Only David Bowie has this much genius.

[loveemogirls3]

where the fuck can i download this song????????

[lonelysurfer76]

It's the first track on 'Low".

[Zendrix3]

Low was the first of the "Berlin Trilogy", a series of collaborations with Brian Eno. The experimental, avant-garde style would be further explored on "Heroes" and Lodger, which complete the Berlin Trilogy.

[SirHatchporch]

You can hear a similar live version from this tour on the Bowie album "Stage."

[UTBESUX]

I was a kid when I saw this tour in New York. Thanks for the great Bowie clips!

[lifeofpisquared]

im so taken back...fab x
