I’ve been following David Bowie since 1972. I played the hell out of this. Still know all the Lyrics

Finally, Midnight Special!! We have been waiting for those Bowie's video performances for YEARS!!! Guys, that was 50 YEARS AGO! There are some of those videos here on Youtube and in other bootlegs but not with a good image quality. THOSE COME STRAIGHT FROM THE ORIGINAL TAPES! CONGRATULATIONS! When Bowie recorded that in London in 1973, it was recorded after many hours of rehearsals. Why not release some of this extra footage too?

Mick Ronson is so underrated. I loved his playing especially on Diamond Dogs and Aladdin Sane.

Midnight Special was great for kids in the 70’s who were too young to go to concerts. You got to see so many of the best bands of the 60’s and 70’s. Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert and all the other music shows.

I watched this when I was 14. I was perplexed but the music was so good. I was sold ❤❤

[kathrickaby]

Mick Ronson was such an under rated guitarist and never got the recognition he deserved ❤

always a class act

Im 69 & have seen Bowie either 5 or 6 times & he was an amazing talent. I'm lucky to have seen the world's best, my heads never left the music I got to listen to from about 1967 onwards & go see live from 1970 on.

Ronson was the quintessential example of what it meant to be a rock guitarist

I never missed the Midnight Special back in the day. Watching this is like being in a Time Machine. It transports me back to my Junior year, sitting in my bedroom, watching this in rapped attention thinking how cool it is to be living in this time with my whole life before me. And what a life it’s been.
I only wish today’s youth have the same outlook. But I don’t think they do. So incredible to think this performance was so long ago, when it seems so fresh still.
Thank you .

Live TV. The drum sound blows me away!!! Wow!

I finally got to see Bowie LIVE in 1991. He opened with this and had this incredible visual trick where he raised on a clear platform in the air making it seem like a 50 foot woman (on a vid screen) was lifting him into the air in the palm of her hand. Entire show was epic. He played for almost 3 hours.

saw Bowie in concert on back-to-back nights in Philly in the late 80s - 40 years later I still remember how stunned I was at what a great performer he was ... RIP
