LIFE ON MARS • DAVID BOWIE 1973

Old copy of a 1973 promo... ;-)
This should bring back memories for those
of you old enough to remember the summer of 1973 and TOTPs using this
instead of the Mick Rock video....

[TRAFOZS]

Hi there eliseandnicky,

It was filmed mainly at Bournemouth Winter Gardens for a regional news show called Nation Wide..Then re used for this video by TOTPs.They also added some footage outside Hammersmith but nothing from that show...Hope that clears it up ;-)

Oh man!

Wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show.

Is there life on Mars?

There was life in the 1970s. Oh boy, is that long ago but it brings back a lot of memories. :-) :-) A time of great music and amazing artists like Bowie.

Thanks for putting this up.

I too remember seeing this on TOTP - I always remembered that gold disc makeup - that summer I bought the single - my first - played it over and over, loving the mysterious song!
