Bowie was 52 years of age when he performed this great track. Saw him with Iggy when he played keyboards back in 1977, then on the Serious Moonlight Tour of 1983. A brilliant and mercurial musician who wasn't afraid of change. The body of work DB made throughout the decades remain unparalleled.

I am lucky to have seen EVERY concert David performed in Australia during his entire career. Yep I'm an old goat. (60) I was lucky to be in law enforcement and get myself on 'stadium security' whenever he toured....free gigs for me! BUT the last I saw I paid for!...was the 'Reality Tour' and he was really at his best, he was amazing, you could see that he was really, really enjoying himself on that tour out of all that I saw before.....I don't know but maybe he knew it was his last tour. IT WAS THE BEST!
A True Legend 🙏 R.I.P Bowie
Dude NEVER failed to bring the very best musicianship to the table, on any given evening , and then proceed to blow the roof off a place. What a absolute legend .
It's funky. it's from outer space. It's charming. It's special. It's haunting in a good way ;) David Bowie is a gift to the world out of the blue!
'I would Never Have Any Intention Of Accepting Any thing Like That' that's the quote from Bowie refusing a CBE and a Knighthood. Not only totally inventive in style and music but a true rebel, his peers were writers, musicians and artists NOT royalty. The public's love of his music is what mattered. The Man Who Fell To Earth Earth...RIP David and Thank You.

I was a teenager when Bowie first appeared on the scene in the 7O's in CA and he blew my mind, I knew he was really something special. I was 14, in the mall, and they had huge pictures of him hanging all over to promote his latest record and to me, really, at that moment in my teenage heart, he was a god.
