I met him in a restaurant in San Francisco years ago and ALMOST DIED. He was lovely, spoke to me for awhile, made ME feel comfortable. It was magic. I'LL NEVER FORGET IT!!!!! ❤

You will hear people telling you there will never be another "Artist A" or "Artist B," but when they're talking about David Bowie, it's absolutely true. He was an unique and genius performer and songwriter, who never chose to stand on his laurels or follow a formula to get a hit. He discovered new ways to perform, and developed different stage personas, and constantly evolved. I discovered him in the early 70s when I was in junior high and I have never gotten tired of listening to him. I could list songs for you, but the comment I just read by Dagmar S. is a fantastic list to start with. I was moved to tears when I heard he passed away. He was a huge part of my life as a music fan.

Bowie is one of those artists who is completely his own genre. An absolute musical genius. And also - CLASS. Always 100%, pure class. Bowie. It feels so wrong that he's gone.

He is iconic. Songs like Young Americans, Let’s Dance, Ashes to ashes, Major Tom… he’s got a huge catalog. His bassist is Gail Anne Dorsey and she is amazing!

Bowie was a god who walked among us. His contributions to culture are immeasurable. And yes, he was swagger personified.

For a first timer, don't stop listening. He grows on you.

Nobody, nobody ever had more charisma on stage than David Bowie. RIP

Bowie always had the best musicians around him throughout the years.

A Massive shout to Gail Ann Dorsey....that bass line is phenomenal

Bowie was the ultimate singer songwriter. He knew how to pick superb musicians for his bands. The old man rocked until the very end.

David Bowie was an English singer-songwriter & actor. He constantly reinvented himself to stay current over nearly 5 decades. His first big hit was "Space Oddity" in 1969. He has had a lot of great songs including "Ziggy Stardust", "Rebel Rebel", "Young Americans", "Changes", "Fame", "Golden Years", "Ashes To Ashes", "Under Pressure", "Let's Dance", "Modern Love", "China Girl" etc. Sadly he passed away in 2016.

Oh brother, the size of this rabbit hole.....

One of the most influential musicians of all time

My old Mum , aged 94 loves Bowie , anyone who appreciates music knows he is top of the tree , truly unique.

He wrote this song in the 1970s while staying in Berlin. The wall he's talking about was the Berlin wall that anyone attempting to climb over it got shot. It divided Berlin into East and West Berlin. The wall fell down in 1989. My mom was born in Germany before they built that wall and to this day regards David Bowie as an angel who aided in getting rid of it. I call him Davy. He's dead but he's still around watching over all of us as he did whilst alive in his body. Watching over his loved ones in particular, but he's a blessing to all and always has been. Love you too Davy. ❤️

Careful, David Bowie is another rabbit hole all his own. (one well worth exploring)

I normally love the live version, but for this song, the recorded version might've been better first. You'd have a better chance at recognizing the song (maybe). David Bowie's live performances are incredible, and no two are the same. Whatever the case, his voice can't be beat. This man and his song 'Changes' saved my life - quite literally. He went through so many changes in every way, from appearance, to style, you name it. You'll LOVE his variations as you explore one of the few artists who was Freddy Mercury's contemporary, in innovative lyrics, in 'wild' fashion, and in behind-the-scenes compassion.

I hope you will listen to his song, The Man Who Sold The World. He wrote it about himself, as he sometimes felt that he fooled people into thinking he was great. It's hard to believe that there were times, when he had self doubts, and didn't see his own talent as being as great as others did. I'm 59, so I was a teen back in the 1970's when David was already an icon in the music industry. I fell in love with his voice, his music and I can say that in all the decades since then, there have been only a handful of entertainers that upon hearing about their deaths, I cried. David Bowie was one of them. Even now, I get a lump in my throat in thinking about the fact that he's gone and we will never get to hear a new song from him.

Bowie is a genius. A chameleon who never did a style or persona for very long. All time great!

An absolute legend. There will never be another. The woman on bass is Gail Ann Dorsey, from Philly. She's a phenomenal musician. If you go down the Bowie rabbit hole, be sure to check out the studio recordings. Bowie was very inventive, using recording techniques that were years ahead of his peers. His catalog is deep and rich. Enjoy!

David Bowie is the soundtrack of my life, from Space Oddity to Blackstar and everything in between. Every few years, he would shed his skin, become someone totally new with a new sound that always seemed years beyond the current music scene. I cried when he passed away because it felt like I had lost a friend. I miss him. 😢

My heart still breaks-miss him terribly. I listened to 'Low' not long ago and cried. Glass Spider tour, I saw the show and was in utter amazement for months. I met this wonderful, fun man at a hotel bar two years later-he bought me a drink!

Must hear Space Oddity. Such an iconic Bowie song. Amazing, ahead of its time on so many levels.

Bowie possibly single handedly encouraged people to dream and think out of the box. The number of genres of music he invented or adapted is what he is famous for. He was a chameleon in music and appearance. Inventing new persona for his multiple changes of direction. Non fans won't even know his 1960s "Laughing Gnome" Song. 😂 I still can't believe how low key his death was. Don't forget the impact he had on music. Incalculable. And a genuine Gentleman.

Gayle Ann Dorsey is an awesome bass player, and has a great voice as well!

David Bowie's music will live on throughout human beings history.

The Bowie discography is amazing, & you started with a great one. It's another on my list of "Favorite songs of all time".

Listen to his older albums! They are truly great! 🥰 David Bowie is a true legend!!! ❤️

The studio version of "Under Pressure" is sung by Freddy Mercury and David Bowie (they also wrote it together). You reacted to Queen doing it live, but you should definitely give that duet a listen!

David's bass player was Gail Ann Dorsey. She is a fantastic amazing bass playing woman. I dont know how many years she was with him but she is still playing now. I went to a Lenny Kravitz concert just before Covid and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Gail is now playing with Lenny, another favourite of mine. This song was apparently written when David was living in Berlin for a while. When he sings about standing by the wall, he is talking about that. It is a beautiful song and has been covered by many. I think my favourite cover was done by Motorhead. Lemmy puts his spin on it and it is great. I was devistated when David died. He was like no other before or after him. We love you and miss you terribly " Jonesy".

Bowi is epic! The Jada joke... Bowie always surrounds himself with awesome musicians. Even saw that some of his back up singers were sometimes from other popular bands (ex: Sneaker Pimps signer). Also, He really called out MTV back in the late 80s for not being inclusive or representing all of Americas music. Back in the days where MTV acted like only pop and rock existed.

Bowie was so creative. Every album has its own vibe!

David Bowie was one of the artists that I respected but wasn’t “my” style of music, when I was young. Then a few years before his death, I began listening to him more and he became one of my top favorite vocalist and artist of all time. I’d place him as my number 1 or 2 of all time.

Saw the Serious Moonlight tour in Houston 1980. Best concert ever. His death left a crater sized hole in music lovers hearts. If he is unfamiliar to you, begin with a song from his teens, Space Oddity. He was never happy repeating and lived to innovate. His final cd, Blackstar, is stunning. Video filmed as he was dying. Incredible.

David Bowie was one of the pioneers of punk rock I remember when I was a teenager him and Iggy Pop used to tour around together My favorite song was suffragette City Rock on

Bowie was brilliant and original. His beautiful wife Iman and daughter Alexandria were at his side when he died. So glad you enjoyed this remarkable artist's talent. Truly one of a kind.

I was blessed to see him twice....just incredible

One of the most iconic guitar riffs ever.

Having been to many of of his concerts a little piece of me died the same day he did. He's a true legend who will remembered forever. 👍

David Bowie is a Legend. He was 3 steps ahead of everything, a genius, writing his own music, a Broadway musical, actor, no matter what he did, it was gold. This version of Heroes is incredibly performed, shows his passion and that incredible voice of his... Truly one of a kind...he was 55 years old when he was singing this...

This track was written by Bowie when he was living in West Berlin, so that's where the "wall" part comes in. In the studio version they facilitated the vocal build (from almost a whisper to a full-on wail) by gradually turning Bowie's headphone volume down so he had to scream to hear himself. I don't know about you, but I think that is an awesome technique. Love this track.

I had the deepest love of my heart for this most amazing man his whole career .He was the best of the best. One of a kind.

David Bowie was incredibly creative, eclectic, funny, and just talented in general. He was at ease performing, whether it was his music/characters, acting, even interviews. This barely touches the tip of the iceberg, and “Heroes” is awesome. Can’t wait to see you react to more Bowie!

Heroes was first released in 1977 from the album of the same name, (which I bought in 1977), and it still stands up and sounds as good today as it did back then.

Bowie, along with George Michael and Queen hold a special place in my music fandom as bands/artists I prefer live to in studio.

The man was on another level...So much fun to watch ...

You have discovered an iconic legend doing what he does best, putting his heart and soul out there for everyone to connect with. The band is like a single unit, complimenting and blending with each other perfectly in a singular sound that puts a groove that you can't resist but fall into love with. I love the solo break that is just three notes but expresses so much in that simplicity. A favorite of mine and now yours too. Good choice and welcome to Bowie's universe of entertainment, a master class musician and authentic human being.

David Bowie had the most amazing voice! Some more songs to check out would be: Dead Man Walking, Wild is the Wind, Space Oddity and No Control. I saw him 3 times live and it was great! He also did a lot of movies, was a painter and a sculpturist, and he was also able to play 14 instruments. 😀

David Bowie, a rock icon & he & his music are loved by millions.

Bowie is timeless and my favorite artist of all time, even though I have preferences for certain time periods of his career. Gail Ann Dorsey is amazing - I had the privilege of seeing her perform some Bowie songs live a couple years ago. She's a phenomenal accompanist, but she is also a phenomenal artist in her own right.

The glorious Gail Ann Dorsey, on bass. This was a BBC recording and sadly the awe-inspiring Reeves Gabrels was not on lead guitar. I worked with Bowie, late 90s. Miss you dude. No RIP! Like he's not raise hell in the afterlife!

One of my heroes. Saw him twice. He sang this at Live aid and it gave me goosebumps.

When I'm asked who my all time favorite musical artist is, without hesitation I name this man. I was fortunate to see him in 97, in a nightclub venue, smaller than this one, with Gail on bass and Reeves Gabrels on guitar. (Earthlings tour). Unforgettable night. Side note...I was touring around on Google street view the other day and the club I saw this show in was gone and replaced by a condo mall. I don't know why but the way it hit me was really profound, to see parts of my history disappearing leaving only imagination. Maybe that's the popularity of these reaction videos. We're just a bunch of older generation folk keeping it alive by reliving it with newer and/or younger listeners. But I digress. Alot of people owe alot to David Bowie. You just entered a fantastic rabbit hole.

YES!!

Aaaaahh Mr. Bowie 😎 an Icon to be sure!! (😂 pinket on bass 😂) Thank you 💕

I always go with the recorded version when it comes to new music, whereas the live performance is the cherry on top. For decades Bowie put out music that moved mountains. 😁❤️

David Bowie had many incarnations over his career. If you dive further, I recommend “Let’s Dance”, and “Space Odyssey”; as songs they couldn’t be more different but will show you two of his biggest ❤

David was the coolest man on the planet and even after his death he is still the coolest. Unique, way ahead of his time, inspirational and just fucking cool.

He was so awesome!!!❤

Gail Ann Dorsey is an amazing bassist! Love her!

Stevie Ray Vaughan played on Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” before SRV was really recognized. Bowie appreciated him.

He was an avant garde artist. A giant.

Missing Bowie and his talent that was beyond. Black Star was a final and appreciated ending to a life time of music he produced.

"I didn't know Jada Pinkett could play the bass." 🤣🤣🤣

RIP Bowie thank you 🙏 for a trip down memory lane

Welcome to the wonderful world of David Bowie. You will not regret it !

Pure singing, no autotune 👍🇳🇱

For me, at 63 it’s astounding that you didn’t know David Bowie as he is such an icon of our era - but you would say the same of me if you rattled off a lot of the big names of today - there’s a very good chance I will never have heard of them! It’s so delightful seeing you discover some of the excellent music of the 70s, 80s, 90s.

Thank you David, thank you for everything! ❤

Bowie songs to experience: The Man who Sold the World Life on Mars Fame I'm Afraid of Americans Lazarus (his final song, which he wrote and performed knowing he was dying of cancer. This song will always make me cry)

Bowie wrote dozens of rock-pop classics, but "heroes" is maybe the classic of the all. He wrote this song (together with brian Eno) during his "Berlin-years" and this song reflect this time like no other. Definitly a part of the soundtrack of live for millions ... and this song wasn't a big chart sucsess but one of the greatest songs of all time (Rolling Stone, Time magazine)

He was the coolest man on the planet married to the most beautiful woman on the planet. I miss him every day.

Shortly before he died, Bowie released a track called Lazarus. So damn good, you should check it out.

he was amazing. His tribute with Annie Lennox, Under Pressure, was astounding. This was an important part of the soundtrack to, "On the Perks of Being a Wallflower"

STILL can't believe he's gone! What a talent!

An eccentric, very talented man that you can't place in any box, comfortably

Loved this concert, first time I seen this venue version. Excellent

That is the great Gail Ann Dorsey on bass guitar. We don’t joke about groundbreaking women of color in music.respect. That’s what we do.

So happy to see you diving into Bowie!!! You have hit all of my favorites lately! Great taste!

You can clearly see his two different coloured eyes, what a rock legend he was.

I knew David Bowie when we were young and he was Davy Jones. He evolved and he had it all Style and Substance.

This is an iconic song by one of the most iconic artists of the 20 th century. And if, anyone disagrees they are just wrong.

I was wondering if you would feature Bowie and you couldn't have picked a better song to start with. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest artists of our time. Not only that, he was a genuinely excellent person. ❣ .

This is very cool song! On every gig he did a different version of Heroes. Sometimes he changed the lyric chapters and even singing style.

I didn't appreciate him as much when I was groing up. Now, I love everything this man ever did. Although, Labyrinth was a favorite movie as a child.

The white Duke was an amazing songwriter and interpreter...absolutely and always bringing innovation and style in the music...RIP DAVID AND GOD BLESS YOU!

My absolute favourite song by Bowie, i was a young teenager when this came out and its still amazing.

Glad you enjoyed it! There are so many good Bowie songs to choose from, but for sheer power, I'd go with Ziggy Stardust or Space Oddity. You might also like Under Pressure. You already know the bass line!

Ahhh here we goooo!!! If you’re goin down this iconic rabbit hole I’m so there!!!

Bowie was such a talent. Saw the Diamond dogs tours when was 15. Was just such a wonderful show. Miss new music from him.

David was Amazing! And His base player the fabulous Gail Ann Dorsey

This live version gimme fucking Goosebumps. Great reaction.

I had forgotten how awesome and unique his voice was!

Space Oddity by him next.

flawless. beautiful. breathtaking.

David Bowie is amazing. Highly recommend any of his work off of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars (my fav is Moonage Daydream)

David was one of a kind. And he was kind and funny. Saw him several times throughout the years. I have a self portrait he did over my fireplace. 😢

He also produced some cracking albums, The Idiot from Iggy and Return to Cookie Mountain being two real faves. Back in the day if you went to an Iggy concert you might catch Bowie supporting 😊

There are no bad Bowie songs...he's a genius!

Possibly the most influential artist of all time.
