I’m getting snacks and drinks in and watching the whole thing while pretending I’m 12 again. Can’t wait for the Quo to kick it off in half an hour! Anyone else gonna watch?

Music can be very subjective but I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like Freddie.

Been out to walk the dog so missed Queen (great timing as neither of us like them) but back just in time for Bowie ❤️

This old fogie is taken straight back to her teens with Rebel Rebel!

Class act - love Bowie

ThePoshUns · 12/07/2025 22:11

One of my biggest regrets is never going to see Bowie in concert

Itisallgoingtobeok · 12/07/2025 22:11

Who else now wants to take up the sax/drums/guitar in a wild attempt to be cool in middle age?

Cats think I’m having a fit. No, I’m dancing in front of the telly, cos I’m a 64 year old rebel rebel…

Me too same age. No work tomorrow 👏

I loved his teeth here, was disappointed when he had them fixed

springintoaction321 · 12/07/2025 22:12

His backing singers sound better than Madonna 😁

Evenstar · 12/07/2025 22:12

David Bowie 😍 so jealous of anyone who got to see him live

I’ve turned into my Gran: “Dead now… He’s dead… Died young..”

This man was my everything

Mine too, but so was Queen.

I was there at Live Aid, looking towards the stage on the left seating area.

Thought it could've been louder.

Hehirtoday · 12/07/2025 22:12

Pepsi and Shirley rocking it

Littletreefrog · 12/07/2025 22:12

How does he look so cool while dressed as someones Dad at a wedding.

To be fair, they ARE just standing there singing. She moved around quite a bit.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 12/07/2025 22:13

Well, they instantly turned it into a Queen gig, didn’t they?

Sitting here with a grin on my face and a lump in my throat. All the feelings.

Ziggy stardust in a suit! Still cool as hell!

SwedishEdith · 12/07/2025 22:14

His backing singers are having the gig of their lives.

Yeah me too, David Live in Philladephia is one of the best live albums I've ever heard.
Thankfully saw him at Live Aid.

Raahh · 12/07/2025 22:14

I've realised (with 40 years gap) I prefered the acts at the start , rather than the end.

I was never a Bowie or Queen fan and much preferred the earlier performers, many of whom were more 'of the time' .

Me, but I've been creating songs using AI instead... ( cheating I know! )

You know what, I know people probably think us old fogies are just being nostalgic but FFS this has been the best thing on telly all year.

And nobody is trying to derail the thread into chaos

What? He was so sharp in his Thin White Duke era! I don’t know any dads who could rock pastel like that!

Shortpoet · 12/07/2025 22:15

The shirtless guy on bongos! Love him!

springintoaction321 · 12/07/2025 22:16

I saw Bowie live at Milton Keynes and yes; it was brilliant 🥰🥰

Maybe we can form a band... just as soon as I have gained some kind of musical ability
