DAVID BOWIE - ALADDIN SANE (Diamond Dogs Tour)

Souled out and Space-Faced, David wows America in 1974. Visionary theatrics and mesmerizing vocals ensure that Ziggy is still very much in the building, we didn't lose him after all (phew)!.

Moonwalk? More like Marswalk!

[BowieGirley]

Aparently Michael J was here at this performance watching David's strange move's lol David was the first musician to perform the moonwalk! YAY! Go David!! :D

[Tamy Lisboa]

Bowie, perfect!

Bowie "The Great Creator" muito antes de M. Jackson. (1974)

[TheMartini1234]

Yeah, Bowie wasn't the first musician to do the moonwalk, but he was probably one of the first white rock musicians to do it.

Either way, regardless on who exactly invented or started this type of dancing, you can't deny David Bowie's performances-especially during this time & era (as Ziggy) were one of the greatest that the world has ever seen. I do think MJ was inspired by him as well. David has said, "I am not out there (onstage/artist) to be normal-that's not what I do." I think MJ was truly inspired by that. As he was not out there to be normal (in public). The male-female look, make-up etc.-as well as Prince!

before Michael yes, but the move was done by a Bill Bailey i think it's the name, in the 50's and Cab Calloway later, then a Shalamar dancer taught it to Michael..since David does it on the same spot, (although it's great!) does not qualify like walking, but Michael was not open about him NOT being the starter although he did admitted in his book that "the dance was out there on the streets, not giving credit to the inventors of th dance as his steps were all from the Godfather Of Soul..James Br

[Marcus Goodman]

uhh you're wrong lol Cab Calloway and Bill Bailey started this

0:11- 0:29 and 2:11 - 3:05

That has to some of THE worst followspot operator work i have ever seen.

COMPLETELY ruins the effect of character that drove this show Bowie was doing.

Besides being so awfully distracting. Hope whoever was running the followspot that night see's this and is embarrassed.

Other than all that ..... great old 8mm footage of a time that seems so long ago.

This version of the song is amazing! And this tour was perfect! David Bowie is a true artist with charisma, talent and a great creative mind... Bowie, we love you! - From Brazil

[Dina Heena]

Moonwalk was done by black performers like Sammy Davis and James Brown way before this! It's black origin street dance. Jackson is seen doing something similar to the moonwalk in his 1969 Motown Audition tape at the age of 9. Way before David Bowie.

Was mike garson on this tour. Can hardly hear him in the mix and this song was really a showcase for his mad majick
