1983 - Serious Moonlight Tour - Western Springs, Auckland, NZ . . . 80,000 people gathered on a beautiful November evening to see David Bowie - white doves were released at sunset as The Thin White Duke took to the stage.
I was 23, just returned from 18 months overseas, and it was the perfect welcome home . . . so memorable. Standard Bowie mysteriousness that he kept his illness private until the end but left an amazing final album for his fans to celebrate his memory. |
I never saw him play but did she him in Elephant man.

Oh David

My brother private messaged me this link on Facebook: David Bowie - Absolute Beginners :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8NZa9wYZ_U To all his friends, my brother is recommending Jehnny Beth and the Savages. Here are two links: ~~Jehnny Beth: The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBdJpTlH64g ~~Savages - "F0ckers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkz6qKCYjDM M |
Thanks for the thread, Dave.
I will always remember him via astronaut Chris Hadfields rendition of Space Oddity sung from the International Space Station. Here is an interview and clips https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PReeq-Q0ig8 That song had always been haunting to me because the astronaut dies and Bowie somehow captures the solitude, eerieness and fear of dying in space. I remember the first time I heard it I cried and I hadn't even caught the lyrics, the music alone is so haunting. I think he also wrote it as a tribute to the amazing courage it takes to be an astronaut and exploring the unknown. Full video of Chris Hadfield singing SO.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=poZCINzxzrQ |
