Decided to upload this coz I think it's better quality than the one I've seen going about sites like this- which is a bit quiet and uneven.

sheepdean Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - imo, it's less the age, more the lack of drugs that has changed his voice

000jacksparrow000 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - But, Sheepdean, he doesn't use drugs anymore since 1981...

sheepdean Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - And his voice has got worse since the early-to-mid eighties - not condoning drugs, but they do do things for the benefit aswell as negative.

arabiansanchez Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - Personally I think he's 10 X better at these big ballad numbers nowadays.Any live version of this from the Ziggy era is pretty dreadful comparatively.

Oct 10, 2008 - I know his drug use has affected his voice, though I didn't hear him live anymore since the Reality tour... And I was a little shocked about his voice when I heard this (it's from 2005)... because his voice has grown much... I don't know... since the Reality tour... His voice was kind of 'normal' then, but it has changed very much since then.And he can't hit the higher notes anymore, and his voice has some kind of "vibrating" thingy...But he will be the best forever though!

Oct 10, 2008 - I think I might actually prefer Bowie's more recently live performances compared to his prime years. I guess its just because I didn't grow up seeing him, I like what is current to my age I guess.

Oct 10, 2008 - Great performance once again...who is the lady at the beginning? I've seen her face a million times but can't remember for the life of me...

Oct 10, 2008 - it would be awful.

oliverandjohn2 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - why?

mcca57 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - still got it! :)

lindadox Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - because he's too old to play pretend.anyway he wrote his best music (berlin trilogy, scary monsters) after his character phase.

Oct 10, 2008 - You mean the throat infection I take it?One of THE worst performances ever.

Oct 10, 2008 - lmao

000jacksparrow000 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - I neither grew up in his prime years to see him live back then... (I am fourteen) I love his older performances and work, but I prefer his more recent work even better. His voice has changed quite a lot since late 80ies. I wonder why... Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway! The thing that matters is that he is still so stunning and great and seductive as he always was!

pacantillon Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - drink and drugs kiddo!!!thats whats altered his voice!

AFCR77 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - Amazing song, amazing artist......

arabiansanchez Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - not to mention age; pure and simple.I prefer his voice nowadays when it comes to the big notes. Songs like LOM? and Wild Is THe Wind are infinitely better in the 2000s than they ever were back in the day.

000jacksparrow000 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - "Kiddo"? I prefer "misses Bowie"! No, just kidding! ;) Lol.

rosalin74 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - i love Bowie's songs and his performance but it's kinda sad for me to watch this vid :( not that i don't like the vid, it's just a bit touch of reality.

zaffiroblu Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - Thanks for uploading it...One of the most touching performances in the music history.

DBCrowns Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - don't forget the 2 pack a day cig habit for years. I think he's going to live forever. Well, for sure his music.

Benzer3 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - whats with the bandage?

vedder12 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - It was only make-up for the song. He has the bandage and a "black-eye", both were fake though. If you watch him perform with Arcade Fire from the same night, both are gone.<3
