Saw this show in June '74/Toronto and Yup Yup Yup, to this day one of my All Time Top Five Best Concerts . . . Bless You Forever David.

You were lucky. This is surely the best rock concert ever!

I was also 17 and at this show. Still Magic!

Jealous... David Live is one of my all time favourite albums.

I was twelve and convinced my mom to take me. She was horrified, but we stayed for the whole show, haha!

Yep.

@bassmanjoe we all did,,,

@@rduquet not true, 4 u maybe but definitely not all,..

@@mahalkita7351 heroin??? Never did it,,, Good Luck with that,,,

Amazing!!

Later on in the tour about November his voice had become very hoarse. However he seems to be in better voice here than on the July '74 concert released as David Live. And yes he was heavily into cocaine at the time, but honestly Bowie had been on one drug or another from the mid 60s until the late 80s. And he always had " an adiction" to cigarettes ( 60 to 80 per day) and drank tons of strong coffee. I'm not sure about alcohol.

Indeed. Fascinating period nevertheless

+russell davis He could have easy of been one of the "27" club, during this year.1947-1974.

+goldsaj Well yes, but look at his actual date of death. The numbers add up to 27. Spooky.

I did not realise that. Probably fate or God or whatever, was probably going to take him in 1974, when he was 27, but thought he has so much more to do on earth. And decided to take him on that date 10/01/16 instead.

I can feel his exhaustion from the uppers just watching this ugh poor guy

And the 21st's!

Sheeran is promoted to teens by the corporate music monopolies. He’s their cash cow, similar to the likes of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Nicki Menaje

So true ! it's my favorite part with Sweet Thing

Absolutely the best!!!!

It was a drug filled (Coke, ludes,weed) time for many 70s/80s

Not sure there were that many periods that weren't ' druggy' to some extent . He never got into the opiate scene and for that we should be thankful😊

Comment to markfrance782 Bowie was using heroin in his space oddity possibly spiders from Mars era

It can be heard on "David Live", which for some reason, musician's rights I believe, is virtually unavailable these days.

Good news You Can see the Whole thing From the Designers that built the Staging for David Bowie many others.!@BBC DANCING IN THE STs..Forgot which ep' but it covers this peroid of RnR biz.."You had To Provide a Real big Show.to be in biz.!"

DAVID BOWIE STATED IN AN INTERVIEW THAT HE WAS GLAD HE REALIZED HE NEEDED TO CLEAN UP AND LEAD A DECENT LIFE. I DONT THINK HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON WHILE HE WAS HIGH..HE DIDA GREAT JOB IN THEAN WHO FELL TO EARTH. I MISS HIM.

​@TheMaidofMiddleEarth 7

​@themaidofmiddleearthcould be an accident. My uncle used to not realize that he had the caps lock on.

​@@superschmolzDon't leave us hanging. What happened to your uncle when he left the caps lock on?

He gave everything for his audience

That is bar none the best description of the sound of his voice.

He was happy

the skull knows something I'm sure

morkygorky AMEN!

@@TheSusieTom HAHAHAHA indeed the skull

Yes 🙌, please do it

David's coke and milk diet period began when he moved to LA, some time after these shows.

And beer and cigarettes he stared drinking in rehearsals on tour snd coke it up

Music moved at the speed of human thought until computers came on the scene, and then the music died.

Bowie himself always regarded Hunky Dory as his best .

Station to station la pinche regla

@@ThefightingCelt Hunky Dory was incredible!

Aladdin Sane is Perfect

With you all the way! STATION TO STATION 👌👌👌👌👌

👍

Paul S same here ......miss everything of him very much........

Get Peter Jackson onto it after The Beatles documentary is done. This is a fabulous documentary that deserves a full restoration and expanded edit.

You may just get it now my friend

@@gddiggy3828 I would be so happy if it included more footage from this… hopefully it does, with so much unseen stuff from the stage and behind the scenes.

I agree, but in the "Cracked Actor" unofficial video ( which I assume this is from) there is also some interviews he did in the back of a limo, etc . Filmed and directed by someone named Alan Yentob.

Not the greatest composer - that would be McCartney, nor technically the greatest musician, but certainly the most brilliant artist.

ha ha

***** ha ha!

@@geeback1231 exactly!!

Me too!!! 70's LA.

Dressed up Rick n’ Roll with accentuated with edgy theatrics

@@cgtaurus John Lennon once called it "Rock & Roll with lipstick on"

We used to thrash it in 1975 as well. Along with all the early Bowie albums. I almost took their brilliance for granted, there was so much quality material released by great artists between 1967 and 1980.
