I love how he takes the time to introduce the whole band, that's the kind of humbleness you don't see in many celebrities.

I was 18 years old when I went to this concert.
I am sitting on some guys shoulders to the right of the stage. You can see my bare back and my arms up in the air. He was pointing at me when he was singing this song.
This was a magical day.
I still have my ticket stub.
David Bowie still live on....

Proud and humbled to be able to say
I
Was
There!

2024, this stands the test of time, the song, the performance, the humility, the fun.... what a performer we have lost.

This only man who'd wear a tie to a rock festival, the absolute legend that is David Bowie.

David Bowie is literally the only person who could go on after Queen.

[SarahB]

I'd like to think that the young people who weren't alive when this happened went and saw "Bohemian Rhapsody", came to YouTube to see Queen's performance, and now they're making their way through all the videos of the concert and seeing all this great music. It really was a special day and I'd like to see more people see the performances that made it remarkable.

It's crazy that we now live in a world without Freddie, Bowie and Prince...it's just so weird. Legends Never Die. So glad we had them for the time we did.

Dedicating this to "one of my kids" that just lost their life to Covid-19. She was a nurse and a hero professionally and personally!

Nobody will ever replace Mr David Bowie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[genkigenki]

Bowie could make a vast stadium feel as intimate as a tiny club. You always felt he was singing to you. It's charisma at level unknown to most mortals.

[TheJonathanNewton]

David Bowie will go down in history as the most well-dressed, stylish gentleman ever.
Apart from making lots of groundbreaking music that was way ahead of its time, of course.

[galodonoso]

I hope all those 72.000 people really understand how lucky they were.

[judithgrabencamp]

Thank you, David . The world needs so many more heroes.

[StinsonTango]

This is proof at how much of a relationship Bowie had with all of his musicians. A gentleman and an artistic genius in every sense of the words

[ladyvader]

they missed the perfect opportunity to have bowie and mercury sing under pressure together

[angryfk]

my dad sold his car to go see david bowie and queen live, traveled with very little money, got shitfaced after the show and passed out outside the venue but if i don't show up after 1am its the end of the world

[jackiesmith]

It’s hard to describe how much I love Bowie. Legend doesn’t even come close. The greatest, ever.

My dad died a few months ago. He recorded this live on vhs while he danced with me and my older brother in his arms. Him replaying this video before he went to work is one the greatest memories of my childhood
