Brad K me 😁 always was always will be 💖🦋

I'm fan! from I was 16!

Corona team

Right here 4EVER!😍

Yuki Snow so right!

when david passed, there is finally life on mars. he's there.

Ugh this comment hit me right in the feels. Damn.

Its absolutly true what you say. The same it will happen if Peter Hammill dies.

You Right Miss Bowie to 😔 🇩🇰

и я

Anche per me.....

Saw him live in 78 in Auckland then in 91 in Tokyo, best concerts of my life

Me too!

same here. Consider still myself very lucky to have seen REM perform live just before they´ve split...

it's a shame for you i saw him twice in Werchter and Oostend.

+Tom Mills I so agree with you!

absolutely bang on Tom, well said

+Tom Mills spot on I agree

he has a powerfull vibrato too

+Tom Mills HOW TRUE IS THIS? :)

So right

Bowie suffered , therefore he knew the nature of life. So have I. Almost dead at 15 years old.. life is no melody. ✋ Just me from Canada , Caro

Honesty is the life of life. bowie was and is a beautiful soul.

Bonjour il a écrit en juillet 1973 le mois de ma naissance c'est vraiment un chanteur avec une voix magnifique et qui est quand même sous-estimé j'ai eu la chance de le voir en concert à Lyon en France c'était superbe merci pour vos commentaires on sent l'importance qu'à David Bowie dans vos cœur

I used to buy his albums and NOT listen for years. Weren't good for a few years. Time had to catch up to him!

He was good when he was young also... hunky dory, space oddity, aladin sane...

I think his vocal Peak were the mid 70's. But his tone was so matured and rich during the Hours,Heathen and Reality Era. It's probably my favorite voice

yes.

I agree and that's truly incredible considering how some voices seem to deteriorate with the age (@bob Dylan)

He sings his lyrics tryn so hard to get you to feel.

Not always.

To be fair, the lives are in a lower register (key) than the album versions, plus recorded with more modern equipment.

Fernando Graça yes always

The studio version is by far better. The piano score by Rick Wakemen and Bowie could hit those high notes so well when he was younger. With this version he has to adjust what he just can't hit anymore. Not an insult. It's just what happens as a singer gets older. To me this version sounds like it's from a Broadway play or something.

I think at the core of all his talents, he was an actor - and they say the best singers are also good actors. So when he was performing live, he was interpreting the song in the moment and I think for that reason the live recordings have a real passion in them, real emotion...

wait david bowie died?

Griffin Gray yes ahah

The only one who takes after him is yungblud (I’m not saying he’s better then him obviously)

+Lupara75 I also like how the public shut up in front of a voice like that.

@@MickDRangerX , front off!! :-) :-) :-)

oh yeah!

Fã de Bowie e Gentle Giant ? Você parece ter bom gosto para música.

Sí se llora y SI sabemos porque se nos fué NUESTRO CAMALEÓN PRECIOSO!¡!

wait david bowie died?

@@griffingray969 Is it a joke?

Yes

Thank you, Gerry

@@MikeGarsonProductions Well, well, well! The Maestro himself! :) You're more than welcome, Mike. I've always loved your playing. Who were the people that you were listening to and studying when you were developing your own style? (This just goes to show that you never can tell who's likely to see a comment. Think carefully before you post, folks!)

Excellent, indeed. Just got here via searching for Aladdin Sane sheet music, thus to searching for Mike Garson, to his 22 Sept 2020 Tweet which referenced a posting of this very video. Here we are. Thanks Mike.

@@MikeGarsonProductions how sweet!! Greetings from the Netherlands Mike.

He told Dinah Shore that on her show in 76. Said he was just a ham looking for a format. Basically a story teller..... WOW!

I spent my youth listening to him alone in the basement. Imagining what I would tell him IF I ever got the chance... THEN walking to see the Elephant man which he started in. Opened in Chicago. I'm walking as a young adult and crossing the street a limo turns with us walking. The thing dies and when the driver tried to start it it wouldn't turn over. As SOON as it didn't start the rear door pops open and he walks out crossing the street JUST ahead of me!!!! I turn to my THEN wife and say that's Bowie. NO THATS AN IMITATOR. Idiots! I walk to intercept him and just as I'm ready to say Mr. Jones.... she SCREAMS, DAVID BOWIE!!!!! He turns and runs and there I am. 10 feet away.... gone! Ran to the theater and I am not chasing...... I'll NEVER forget that. God rest her soul.....

Yeah! That's what's so fascinating about this version!

But all the crazy personas and showy makeup are the real him too, it's part of his personality. He was an oddball and I mean that in the best possibly way

Nonsense he was the self proclaimed overrated cracked actor.....his words not mine. How old are you....16? I'm 64 was a fan at 15....every genre he had he STOLE

And this is a CRAP VERSION

Steffan Hoffmann ok boomer

+Cheyenne McLean Loved the Slender White Duke and how generous he was in sharing his treasures and talents with the World....I shall forever be blessed! And now it is time to leave the Capsule......

+Forlani True, true, true: Bowie, so young and already so brilliant... It seems as if many geniuses started out young. Andrew Loyd Webber wrote JCS at 19! And lets not even start on Mozart..wrote masterpieces around age 9 I believe...

David Bowie was writing songs for 10 years before he really _made_ it. laughing knome, rubber band. He worked VERYvery hard

Thank you. Genius is not born, it is developed. No one is born with our disturbed IQ standards-

Isn't music a field that most people excel in when they are young? Music and math and athletics. Most other fields you get to your peak when you are older?

Agreed

Agree

Chord progression nicked from My Way -Frank Sinatra - well first part anyway

Brad Cox Nicked from My Way...? He was the first person to do an arrangement from the French original; even though he said it was crap When he heard my way he was annoyed nobody told him...this was his reply ..

Agree

Hai ragione, e non immagini quanta.. F

IS!!!!!! a genius

what do you mean was? david bowie died?

oh yes...he did it again...

Both great artists. Gave us hope and joy, but in different ways.😀🙂😥

Always.

I now r m8

Love

I cannot stop crying.. This version is so moving!

yep same send just a hug

Excelente version!

I agree. How old was he when he did this version of Life On Mars? Anyone know?

@@maryward6282 This was in 1999, so he was 52.

The only one that has a version close to this is Aurora.

His influence is , so great!

Well done 👍 me too 😃

:(

,,He could be a hero” and he truly was, not for one day, but for his whole life

We weren't good enough for him on Earth.

Nope, he sold it.

He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds...

You seem to be one of the few here in their right minds Everyone like: i me mine i me mine i me mine So I appreciate a sensible person's presence on the wild expanses of the internet, as they say in my culture

ME UK also a big influencer on Freddie Mercury; not a bad performer eighter.❤️

+the ghost of redd foxx That's Mike Garson. Great piano player.

+the ghost of redd foxx in fact the lower octave period is actually the best thing ever happened to elton john

Bowie: thank you michael

David Jones from Brixton.

Bless you.. David makes me happy.. There are days when I am down.. I listen to this beautiful man..and things seem a little better.. Thank you David Jones❤⭐⚡

Unico e grandissimo amore anche della mia vita! Bello come il sole e talento puro della musica, ogni giorno ascolto una sua canzone e ogni giorno una lacrima mi sgorga dagli occhi....grande e insuperabile David riposa in pace

Полностью поддерживаю 🤝

I feel like the girl with the mousy hair...always will. He wrote my life.
