I worked event security at a concert in LA when David Bowie was touring with Klaus Nomi. Before the show there were a lot of people standing around talking and wanting to get to David Bowie. But, in all the frenzy, I watched Klaus step back, look around and began to talk to the staff that was working there. The caterers, the stage hands, and even me. I found him to be one of the most engaging interesting people to talk to. He was a warm, humble and openly friendly person. He was a very approachable and nice person and I have always remembered him and his friendliness to me and my co-workers with great fondness.

I was a 12 year old odd ball of a tomboy and me and my sis snuck (sp!) down to the basement to watch SNL on this airing. My life changed even before David Bowie finished his performance! I had finally found where I fit in! I'm 53 years old and I have been a hard-wired , die-hard, obsessed in all things Bowie fan since. It took till the internet to find this rare footage. And I learned that was Klaus Nomi,and so I started listening to him and remember the articles of when David Bowie approached him to do this. That was his style Bowie liked with the suit. Klaus has an almost ethereal voice that was of no other. Oh! If I was to have one wish and that would to go back in time of the early 70's and be apart of that whole New York City scene would be just electric! By the time I had learned about Klaus Nomi was too late. Sadly one of the first performers to die of AIDS and even more tragic not giving enough exposure for more to enjoy. So I am like the rest of these good folks saying "Tell me more" WootTootZoot!!!!! Cant leave us hanging!!!

This version is so great because of how much Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias added to it. Near the end Klaus belts out vocals so powerful they could’ve overtaken Bowie if he wanted to but he did just enough to elevate the song. And Bowie does his best to keep up with both of them and it makes his performance all the more better for it. It’s probably my favorite version of the song.

I found this video on Joe Dallesandro's page a long time ago. After that, I read everything I could about Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias. Klaus Nomi's videos are haunting. His voice is unusual and operatic. His outfits are out of this world. He was truly one of a kind and there has been none like him since. It was a great adventure learning about both of them. This video, above, started it all for me. Their only time with Bowie. I had hoped there would be more. But this was it.

Klaus Nomi was amazing

La magia del video!!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ GRACIAS por subirlo✨♥️♥️♥️

Ufff es la mejor versión de esta locura ❤

日本ではクラウスノミがお笑い芸人の影響で一気に注目されましたw 改めてボウイの先見性は不変だなと認識する次第です！

Superior ... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away ... superfans unite.

A legendary performance. It's a shame that Klaus Nomi had to die this young. Indeed one of my favourite versions of The Man Who Sold the World

David Bowie and Martin Sheen! 🤤 the beginning of Big Boss!

RIP, David & Klaus

Grandes, maravillosos, increíbles, de lo mejor
