Your words are mine and yours are his. I’m 62 too. And yeah, Mick is very, very underrated. Believe or not I myself knew him last year. For knowing I mean to understand. Of course I knew his name. Then the KZhead algorithm has showed that and… I’m not the same person anymore. Thanks to internet. Without that I could not even buy a ticket in the past, and take a plane to watch a show. It’s not totally tragic, since I was too young and ignorant enough an probably I would not notice Mick as he deserves. But not many Brazilian Bowie s fans (we are many) realised what is “Mick Ronson”. Right after this video I understood why the Bowie s álbuns which provide an indescribable emotion to me are the ones with Mick. I used to listen those more often than the others. No idea that some Mick guy was involved. In the end, I like things happened that way. I fell I can’t trust my guts. I think It’s not necessary but… I’m not only talking about the amazing guitar play, but the musician. He knows how to choose and balance effects in the studio, what it is too much, what is lacking. You name it. Ziggy sonority is Mick. And that sonority is Ziggy persona. And he is a sweetness. In the end of the day I keep digging my favorite albums, but I cry 😢

Mick just makes his Les Paul cry - the way he so carefully bends those strings. It’s such an emotionally touching work of energy and artistic timing… how can you not feel every note deep inside! I think that’s what he felt, and also intended. Every concert I saw with Bowie and Ian Hunter were perfect. Ronson demanded 200% from his guitar and himself whilst playing. That’s why he’s a genuine guitar god! R.I.P. David, Mick, Freddie, Marc, George M… We’ll all be seeing you again, at that great gig in the sky!

This is one of my "Over, over & over again" songs of David Bowie's. I can't get enough of it. There's something about this song that touches something inside of my inner being that I can't, well, it'd be a real challenge I should say, for me to put into words. It's a mix of being a 'grower-upper of the '70's', feelings of being lost in a dream while aware of reality, a touch of tingling in the groin & sorrow. That doesn't even come close, but it's an attempt. I only hope that I can one day evoke similar feelings in people when they listen to my music. Johnny Schutte

How did he come up with that solo? Moonage Daydream's album version had a beautifully bended solo in its end and here it's even on a higher level. Ronson truly was an ingelligent guitarist. He knew he couldn't play things like Blackmore but he also knew the most important thing in music; you should play the right things at the right time. Those bendings and vibratos and how he uses delay is just thrilling. And the sound he dug out of his gear is freakin' sweet and rough at the same time.

As a guitarist, Mick was technically on average level, but musically much higher level. His sound and playing style compensated for the missing playing virtuosity, but nothing compensated for his shyness and modesty. I don't know if it was a lack of self-confidence, but I was left with an image of a man who could have been much more. And if you want to listen to more technical and stylistically similar guitar playing, you can always listen to Randy Rhoads' playing. There are many similarities in the playing of these masters.

MICK RONSON WAS AMAZING
The year is 2023 and I am obsessed with Mick (again).I’m 55 and I appreciate and understand music from my youth, now more than ever. Big kudos to the internet.
Your words are mine. I’m 62. So underrated Ronson is to the big public.
Your words are mine and yours are his. I’m 62 too. And yeah, Mick is very, very underrated. Believe or not I myself knew him last year. For knowing I mean to understand. Of course I knew his name. Then the KZhead algorithm has showed that and… I’m not the same person anymore. Thanks to internet. Without that I could not even buy a ticket in the past, and take a plane to watch a show. It’s not totally tragic, since I was too young and ignorant enough an probably I would not notice Mick as he deserves. But not many Brazilian Bowie s fans (we are many) realised what is “Mick Ronson”. Right after this video I understood why the Bowie s álbuns which provide an indescribable emotion to me are the ones with Mick. I used to listen those more often than the others. No idea that some Mick guy was involved. In the end, I like things happened that way. I fell I can’t trust my guts. I think It’s not necessary but… I’m not only talking about the amazing guitar play, but the musician. He knows how to choose and balance effects in the studio, what it is too much, what is lacking. You name it. Ziggy sonority is Mick. And that sonority is Ziggy persona. And he is a sweetness. In the end of the day I keep digging my favorite albums, but I cry 😢
wowwwwwww, all thats left to say is, those WERE the days, and i'm glad i was part of it , LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!
and this folks is what rock n' roll guitar is all about. miss you very much, Mick Ronson.
Mick Ronson was a truly remarkable guitarist and passed away too soon. His influence on Bowie was unparalleled. Not forgetting the Transformer album which saved virtually saved Lou Reeds musical career.
Unfortunatly, I doubt there will ever be an era of music this diverse and phenomenal ever again.
No, that's right. The corporate owners of the world will see to that.
Bowie's biggest mistake was breaking up the Spiders. But a lot of musicians back then were trying to change to keep up with the times, and usually it was just not as good as it was during the peak of the rock wave.
He had to let Mick go. Mick was becoming as big a star as Bowie. Let alone the contribution he made in the studio.
don't worry some group or artist will blow minds again someday 🔹💠🌌💠🔹
@@betsyj59 They want hate these days not love.
Mick Ronson was one of the greatest guitarists in rock history 🎸
Mick Ronson is criminally underrated. That TONE!
Mick was one badass guitar player! The spiders have been rejoined in the heavens.
Mick was so underrated back in the day , what a shame🎶🎵🎸🎼
don't forget Trevor Bolder and Woody Woodmansey , a great rhythm section and unsung heroes
+howard yearley Recruited by Mick as he'd worked with them in Hull, Trevor also died young. Woody is still with us and toured the Man Who Sold The World set last year with Tony Visconti and a ten piece band. It's this gig where Bowie sacks them both from the stage...
Thanks for that info , we had a temp at my workplace in Kent about 4 years ago who turned out to be Trevors nephew and was playing a good standard of guitar himself
+Stephen Allcroft Seriously? Do you know if there's any footage of that?
+Rob Spratt The announcement of the retirement of the band is at the end of the DVD (originally Cinema) release this is from. The Radio 2 documentary on Mick last year said he'd been informed by Bowie but was advised not to let Trevor or Woody know. Pop genius and saint are often mutually exclusive categories...
nobby stiles Brilliantly said. Too right.
If you don't know, Mick had 3 solo albums. Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, Play Don't Worry, and Heaven and Hull. GET EM NOW. They won't be around for long. If you never heard them, then you don't have a complete history of Mick Ronson
Mick was underrated when he was alive but now everyone sees his true talent, RIP mick ronson
The absolute pinnacle of glitter. The one video you should show anyone who asks "What is rock n roll?" The woman at .48, Mick Ronson's mind-blowing solo (which always gives me chills), the woman during the solo freaking out and screaming "Miiick!!!" This is what "it" is all about. And Bowie... Bowie.... Incomparable. No one has ever done it better. Rest in peace. You provided the soundtrack of my life.
i love that girl at :48...especially when she puts her hands on the side of her face while Bowie singing, "press your space face close to mine love"
These two young ladies reflect the magic. Spot on.
So young so powerful with the magnificent Mick Ronson on guitar........... Awesome
Mick just makes his Les Paul cry - the way he so carefully bends those strings. It’s such an emotionally touching work of energy and artistic timing… how can you not feel every note deep inside! I think that’s what he felt, and also intended. Every concert I saw with Bowie and Ian Hunter were perfect. Ronson demanded 200% from his guitar and himself whilst playing. That’s why he’s a genuine guitar god! R.I.P. David, Mick, Freddie, Marc, George M… We’ll all be seeing you again, at that great gig in the sky!
Mick Ronson & David Bowie, what a couples! Great!
Everything about this performance is incredible, but Mick Ronson's guitar solos here is...lost for words...
.x
+Geo B Mick Ronson was The MAN!
+Steptoes Horse The great and unintroduced Mike Garson on piano.
Zanichbug
Geo B while every other guitarist on the planet was playing blues, Ronson was playin this...off the charts!!
I cant find the words to describe just how AMAZING mick is!!! -- flawless cool-
Rono absolutely killing it. Looks like Randy Rhodes older brother here. SFM was the most underrated band outside of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, IMO.
Even Rhoads's stage craft is very similar to Ronson. I reckon Ronno's dad got about a bit. Only explaination.
absolute perfection, Ronson was one of the very best
their best work
Just count myself lucky to have witnessed this ultimate historical talent in 1973 at Leicester De Montfort Hall ..... RIP David and Mick ... always here for us .. always ... Much loved ..
David and Mick Ronson are just superb, both equally talented,
What a fucking band! What a performance!!!
You can see where Mick was a massive influence on Randy Rhoads, the hair, the Les Paul Custom, the Marshall's, it's all awesome !!!!!!
He wasn't fit to hold ronson plectrum
Ziggy with red spike hair, black eyeliner, white kimino performing with brilliant guitarist Mick Ronson represented a musical union made in the Stars.Both in Heaven. R.I.P.Left with a gift of Supreme music.
Mick Robson's guitar playing, ripped me a new one. He will live on through the music.
This is the Bowie period to treasure. What inspirational playing by Mick Ronson + the Bowie songwriting and performance. Pure Magic.
Without Mick there was NO Bowie.. The man was a genius !
Flippant remark TBH ....Yes reasonable comment but not true is it ? and you know that
@@spudgunn1396HIDE in your shell mate 😉 Salutations from Kensington and Chelsea in London. The home of inventive music.
It's 2023 and I'm Jammin on this like it's the 70s 🤭🤭🤭 RIP My lovely Starman ⚡️💔🌷✌🏼
Bowie and Ronson were ikons long live there numerous jams.😎😃😻🎵
What an ending to a song. Mick Ronson’s pose should have been one of top 70’s iconic posters..... the kind that thousands of kids hang on their bedroom walls.
16 when this came out, Still blows my mind after 43 years, never get tired of hearing micks guitar. surely the best in the world.
RAGNAR BLOODEAGLE true
I keep on watching this over and over again. Amazing song and that solo is pure orgasm!
Agreed! Perhaps we can discuss this over drinks. I'll be in London next weekend
Mick with the gorgeous guitar tone and playing, the look of them!!! So Iconic!!! How could anyone not lose their mind watching this??? They're just in the zone man
Bowie a genius, Ronson a true guitar star...sometimes a few soulful notes say so much more than a million...
Mind melting Mick Ronson.
Just freaking awesome. Bowie and Ronson = Priceless xx
Mick Ronson is like a god on this guitar ! Bowie is incredible too !
Mick Ronson, such a phantastic guitar player, a praetorian of rock music.
Go MICK RONSON ❣ !!! (RIP)
One of the greatest guitarists ever to grace the stage.
mick was so underrated. use of delay and repetition is masterful even by today's standards.
Had the absolute pleasure of seeing Ronson play in the 70's both with Bowie and Ian Hunter. Every time I came away feeling uplifted. Have seen many great guitarists over the years, but no one ever made the hairs stand on end like he did. A true guitar god.
Mick Ronson what a fabulous mucision 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Mick’s solo….that is some serious swaggering glam rock guitar god shit right there. You don’t have to be a technical genius to slay an audience.
Such a beautiful tone Ronson had, he's up there with the greats.
This is one of my "Over, over & over again" songs of David Bowie's. I can't get enough of it. There's something about this song that touches something inside of my inner being that I can't, well, it'd be a real challenge I should say, for me to put into words. It's a mix of being a 'grower-upper of the '70's', feelings of being lost in a dream while aware of reality, a touch of tingling in the groin & sorrow. That doesn't even come close, but it's an attempt. I only hope that I can one day evoke similar feelings in people when they listen to my music. Johnny Schutte
Pure Magick! So madly beautiful, I love you David! The fans in the crowd are so gorgeous too!
Back in the early 70s, people hadn't had their health severely impacted by synthetic food and a steady diet of multiple pharmaceuticals yet.
Hard to believe both are no longer with us, RIP David and Mick!!!!!
Bowie really was it then. Miles ahead of most of us. Ronson like a Randy Rhodes twin RIP 😢
One of my favorite things on KZhead. I can't believe I haven't Liked it before. The almighty Mick putting on a demonstration of what it means to be a rock god!
Fantastic ...🎸🥁🎸🥁
Only one Spiders from Mars still alive now, the Drummer Woody. Long live the Spiders from Mars! RIP David, Mick and Trevor.
I miss him everyday. There will not be anyone like him again.
RIP STARMAN YOULL ALWAYS BE OUR HERO REGUARDLESS OF U NOT THINKING U WERE GOD BLESS THE BOWIE FAMILY IMAN BLESS U ......................
I haven't seen this in years. And, I'd forgotten how brilliant it is. Mick Ronson's guitar playing could easily blow so called musicians these days out of the water. That, along with the fucking stunning drumming makes this one of the best gigs ever!
I was going to write out my comment, but you did it for me. F.N. Incredible !!!
Not just the playing, the whole look. Any guitar player that wants to look amazing on stage, just watch this and learn.
@@andrewmurray5542 According to Bowie it took a long time to persuade Mick Ronson to dress up. Mick was a mechanic from Hull and he didn't want to go on stage wearing a flamboyant costume.
Wow ! great performance on guitar by Ronson. I like his style on records and on stage even better !
Mick Ronson changed my guitarist life.
I fell in love with this songe in 1974 when i first heard DAVID LIVE, which was on tv in New Zealand at the time so quite a remarkable achievement for our little country, rushed out the next day to buy it and thrashed it within an inch of its life, and Mr Ronson's guitar was awesomeness
An ecstatic audience, Bowie in top form and Mick Ronson sharing the mic with Bowie and rocking it out with licks and an awesome solo. Rock and Roll heaven. May be Bowie's best song and performance. One of rock/pop's finest performances.
I love Mick's vibrato. His control and guitar tone was beautiful
Just love him so much! This song means so much xxx
One of the best Rocksongs ever,Ronsons guitarsolo is also One of the best we had.good,good Bowie,its so sad,shit,but now he is still in a better Universum,by god.we all will miss,and love him.thanks
Mick's guitar sounds so raw. You can hear every perfection and imperfection. Great stuff!
oh, that Ronson tone and styling. I'm the one that's gently weeping...
Mロンソンのギターは何回聴いたてもカッコイイ、ボウイに負けてません。
When we had this, Thin Lizzy and Zep in such a short time frame. We were lucky to be there,
The tone Ronson gets out of his instrument is amazing/unique
It really can't be done any better than this! Pure rock'n roll magic.
Holy shit!! I saw a lot of concerts in the late 70’s but would’ve killed to be at this show. Saw Bowie in the 90s with Adrian Belew but that show didn’t have the ferocity & brilliance of this one. I bow to their greatness. 🔥🎸🌝
Mick was and will always be my guitar GOD. His years with Bowie and Ian Hunter, so many great solos. Miss him and David so much but at least they live on forever in their music. What a great recording the audio / mix is awesome. The bass and drums are so tight Mick can just sale over the top. Killer!
Woody and Trevor had worked with Ronno for years by the time of this show, but yes, weren't they tight!
Trevor and Woody were Ronno's mates from way back and this was their last night. They hadn't been told at the time...
@@StephenAllcroft The Spiders were soooo good and never got the credit they collectively deserved
Ronson still not in the R&R hall of fame. are you kidding me.
+papa John There is an online petition going in a second round to have him added to the "sideman" category. I signed it.
+Shannon Rose Do you have a link for the petition?
Here you go. Ignore the plea for a donation from the website, you don't have to donate to sign the petition. www.ipetitions.com/petition/ronno
Sorry Mick was a good guitar player, but HOF? Not even close.
How can anyone say David didnt respect his band when a large portion of this track is dominated by Mick Ronson. What a guitar player. Awesome!
At that time, the use of cocaine had not yet progressed that far.
Mick Ronson was a superb musician. Xxx
Mick Ronson was the guitar angel!!!! Between his looks and guitar playing - THE BEST!!
And that folks is how you test out a Les Paul. Mick Ronson axe god.
SO GLAD this got captured on video.......that is pure emotion transfered through his guitar.....
Test out a Les Paul? That makes zero sense.
Mick and David, together again.
Trevor Bolder as well. Watch out Woody.
sadly,yes
+James Freeman Just saw Holy Holy the other night and if his high energy and balls-out playing were any indication, Woody's not going anywhere any time soon.
yes..
sadly yes
Always amazes me that Mick took a lot of persuading from Bowie to wear make up - he’s such a naturally beautiful man it only enhances him.
Mick Ronson the soulmate of Bowie , one of the best guitar player ever WTF perfomance !
How did he come up with that solo? Moonage Daydream's album version had a beautifully bended solo in its end and here it's even on a higher level. Ronson truly was an ingelligent guitarist. He knew he couldn't play things like Blackmore but he also knew the most important thing in music; you should play the right things at the right time. Those bendings and vibratos and how he uses delay is just thrilling. And the sound he dug out of his gear is freakin' sweet and rough at the same time.
Very accurate description.
Ronson was classically trained!
I like Mick’s playing. But the reality is, he was an average guitarist at best. And if you take away that over the top DELAY in this solo, it wouldn’t be all that memorable.
As a guitarist, Mick was technically on average level, but musically much higher level. His sound and playing style compensated for the missing playing virtuosity, but nothing compensated for his shyness and modesty. I don't know if it was a lack of self-confidence, but I was left with an image of a man who could have been much more. And if you want to listen to more technical and stylistically similar guitar playing, you can always listen to Randy Rhoads' playing. There are many similarities in the playing of these masters.
What planet are you on, Ronson is the greatest guitarist ever lived, no one comes close to him, Ronson could play is guitar in any era he was classical trained he brought his own sound the guy was a genius because he only brought 50% because that's all he needed he played to serve the song he was playing, when Ronno wanted to turn it on everyone listened
OMG! MICK!!!! What a guitargasm!!!!
Barbara Margolis His guitar w/ Bowie's legs...😱
Mick Ronson is if the Gods in this. My god that guitar solo is just astonishing.
Rono was awesome and I was at the front for the Leeds gig which was a week or so before this concert. Bowie ended up a superstar but the thousands upon thousands of us who saw Ziggy Stardust live knew he was without doubt the biggest star on the planet at the time and we were proved right. Much went too soon, Im still here battling on and only wish he were too. What would he have done if still alive, he started a whole new genre in playing
RIP, Rono underrated guitar god.
Without a doubt!!! A definite legend!!!
It was a different time then, wasn't it. To hear and watch this now is stunning to me. Puts me in a mood I can't even describe. Mick, you were in a class by yourself. What a great guitarist as we can hear in the Spiders. All of them. When I heard you passed away, I was really sad. I hope you didn't suffer. RIP Mick. You were great!
This video explains better than any words just how good Mick Ronson was. RIP.
What a freakin' great performance! It has feeling and therefore you feel it specially when Mick Ronson plays lead guitar. It's a shame that cigarettes took his life too soon. If you smoke, quit right now. I quit 25 years ago. I'm no better than anyone who smokes, just wanted to be here. What an awesome show!
Hey, Marc - while I completely agree with your point about smoking, Mick Ronson died of liver cancer, not lung cancer. Glad you've been able to quit though. As you may guess by my profile pic, I'm still working on that one. As for the performance - if I was there I'd look something like the girl at 4:50. Cheers.
harry lime then it was the booze that did it....
This was the last Spiders from mars concert. RIP Mick Ronson.
I have listened to everybody since the year 1969 and seen a lot of these guys live. Mick Ronson was the best live guitar player ever. Nobody could get the tone like Mick.
wnorcott something about his playing and sound that came directly from his soul
Very well said the key word being tone he always slid into his solos out of that last chord like nobody else
This performance is ahead of its time.
Mick Ronson was at the time in the 70s the epitome of what a lead guitar player should be. David Bowie resonated in every feeling I had at the time and even sticks with me today.
