Screw Clapton, that's what a guitar solo should sound like.

They really did kill rock and roll, in the mainstream at any rate, it's just been pantomimes since this, try as they might, they can't stir the blood lack Rotten did.

This really is good, 70s glam rocker myself, and the verse on this is a bit too sub-Ferry, but the chorus is sadly beautiful, underrated song.

Sat back with a good whisky and watched all four, I saw this as a teenager when it first came out, still as good, though I don't suppose he was ever this good again, just had an intensity at this time, mind you nobody else has been as good either, nothing to compare with this over the last 30 yea...

What is this frog faced nobody trying to do? He's got some form of backing tape, he's not singing it or playing it properly; it's not even satire; and he looks genuinely disturbed when the crowd start singing along to something more recognisable than his own stuff.

@Yehudittx This version was taken from a Suffolk railwayman in the 19th century, the Carthy version follows the sheet music, it is technically canonical. The tune was almost lost, typical of the English. The other versions are not equal to this one, many of them wittering affairs. If an arrangeme...

He's not been too good generally since the 70s, but there's the occassional song and this is great stuff, in fact it's good enough to have been on the Diamond Dogs tour.

@alexandermorison I'm 80% treacle, yeah take your points, but Heroes right at the end of the classic period, prefer Diamond dogs tour, right in the middle of it, best pics, best music, total atmosphere

This is just a comic performance lacking intensity and real weirdness, the version with Ronson is better, but LA '74 is the one, that was the greatest tour, check that out for the big massive

@arabiansanchez Sweet Thing is nothing to do with Orwell's world, on the old vinyl album it was on side one, part of the Diamond dogs urban apocalyse section, the Orwell section does not begin until 'We are the dead'. Yes he's telling stories again; nevertheless the emotional power, and brilliant...

Really great to see there is some of this footage available aside form the Cracked Actor documentary, this is clearly the classic period, so much better than the almost ordinary pop star on the Serious Moonlight clips

One of his greatest songs, giving it some real urban landscape, I mean I'm not against Lady GaGa etc.. it's just they can't compete in song writing terms, for those of us that were back there in the day, sure we're supporting our youth, but in objective terms the songwriting was just better.

This is him at his very peak, many members of the general public are not aware of this, along with all the other things they're not aware of.

You've done it again Shum, this could well be their best song, and hell there's a lot to choose from, greetings from Manchester, keep up the goodly work

Stardust days Indeed great download

This is the shit

@ketanovas

No this is wrong. Nothing cannot physically exist, hence you can't get anything from it. All this something from nothing talk is just a euphemism for saying we don't know how the big bang started. Scientists are not too hot at using their imagination when the facts are unknown. Look a...

@ivankaramasov

OK he's done some great individual songs since the 'Heroes' album, but that was the last great album, Scary Monsters a bit forced in my view, also check out the tour following Heroes, he never really regained that consistent power. Well that's my view anyway, course he's still the...

It looks like there's an intellectual coming out of the back of her head

I think I've still got the ticket somewhere; I think there were three gigs at Stafford, can't remember whether it was this one, last time he was really all Bowie, great times.

Used to know a guy at college who raved about the guitar solo, saying it was the greatest, was a Bowie fan at the time, though wasn't sure, listening now, yeah it is great, very musical I guess, sounds like I still have a hankering for Earl Slick, or fret-bender as he was referred to, mind you ...

I'm sorry I'm not listening to anymore of this, work from the blood McVicker and stop pissing about.

To the farthole who complained about this being uploaded to Youtube - Go and listen to Springsteen, Metallica and all that stadium rock shite, after all in 20 years or so it will all be forgotten about; some popular music will last like this, Beatles, Bowie, Brecht / Weill, the great songsters, ...

I believe this is Harald Paulsen, possibly Wolfgang Neuss, not Brecht, whatever it's better than those bloody jazz versions, back slapping rat packers that simply miss the acidic romance and depth of the song.

Can't stand jazz as a rule, must have downloaded this 15 times, just beautlful

You know this might just be the greatest song ever written, and I don't say that lightly

Those were the days my friend, Madonna you bore

Hi childofsunfire take the point it's not easy, still doesn't stop it being feasible, generally I'm glam and punk guy, think that's the great music of the 70s, not prog rock, but there is something about this track, it does get to something, beautiful but not sentimental.

I see the Liberal is now agreeing that nothing cannot exist. He must come round to conceding that it is only a matter of time before we can measure position and velocity simultaneously, it's a technology issue, these kind of vids just make mountains out of molehills as most people here are recogn...

Like it, Like it. Well ahead of today's divas with their prepared sexuality and business motives. Real jungle jangle here, that vocal and the half-shouted backing vocals - some real bite there, good guitar too, non-rockist. Salty stuff.

Pure raw emotion, the best thing on Youtube, total glam rock. I see this version has cropped up before only to be removed, this one's the best, those charging guitars, the violin, the vocal, the lot, not even the Beatles top this. All hail the 70s!

Like the last point saya a lot about what's wrong with this country, and explains where a lot of the rioting came from, no wonder the white collar scammers are angry, as their hidden corruption is put openly into practice by others
