Bowie's Last Video

David Bowie ^ | January 11th, 2016 | David Bowie

As far as I know this is David Bowie's last video and if you can say nothing else about the man you must admit he went out with style.

Grand, spooky style.

[Mariner]

What say you?

“Let’s Dance” by David Bowie.

[bagadonutz]

That is amazing. I’ve been listening to Black Star all night. Just incredible.

[skeeter]

Dunno. This is gonna take some thought.

[Mariner]

"That is amazing."

Who says music cannot also be visual art? And a dramatic play?

Here's a guy who apparently and certainly knew he was dying. So he decides to write a song and a produce a video about it.

I think there are some poets and writers that have written of their own imminent death, but I don't recall it in music anywhere...

Then to combine it with the darkest of visual performance.

Amazing is the least of it.

Youtube seems to be too overloaded on that one:

500 Internal Server Error

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them):

[Telepathic Intruder]

Cancer didn’t cost him his strangeness.

[To Hell With Poverty]

I know, and people on here have been arguing that he's not really an artist, per se. Phillistines.

From Japan...Mishima weighs in on a final ending:

A life in four chapters

I rather liked “The man who sold the world” later covered by Nirvana, that riff is up there with the top ear worms.

I say, David, thanks for sharing your talent, life and now death. Truthfully, I loved David Bowies music as well as his talent and now this final video was one more peek into his genius, which he left as a thank you.

[Lazamataz]

Thanks.

Creepy.

Foreshadowing.

[sauropod]

Bflv

[A_perfect_lady]

Well. My hair is pretty much standing on end now, and that was just from watching the tiny version that youtube was able to keep up and running.

[Lazamataz]

To create on the way out is a huge testimony to his drive and persistance.

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD was my favorite...as it was with the great Dr. Walter Bishop.

There’s a great jazzy version with a string quartet by Claire Martin, a UK jazz singer.

“let’s Dance”. :-)

[Toespi]

Hey Laz, a big favor for the challenged such as myself as well as a small tribute to great talent. Would you please post the David Bowie/Tina Turner video of “let’s dance.” By far the most visceral, rawest on stage performance ever made. If I remember, he surprised her onstage and it was a completely impromptu moment. Still gets me up to this day.....
