Davie Bowie Heroes Live in Berlin 2002

tumblr_mblne5maKX1qd3mqdo1_500I have been a David Bowie fan since 1972 when I fell in love with him as Ziggy Stardust on Top of the Pops, singing Starman. I was 11 years old. I saw him in concert in the 1980s several times when I lived in the USA.

My all time favorite though is this clip from Berlin in 2002, when he was 55 years old. Not many artists could stay relevant over five decades (his first single was released in June 1964) and sound and look as good as this live in their sixth decade. His voice in this clip is absolutely magnificent and NO miming  lip-synching like so many artists today. Changed from miming as he used to actually do mime on stage!

My other favorite has always been Moonage Daydream Live from the Hammersmith Odeon on 3rd July 1973, the night he killed Ziggy. Mick Ronson’s guitar solo in this is epic!
