🇬🇧 David Bowie – Space Oddity (Live 1973) | L'oeil musical

47 years ago, David Bowie performed “Space Oddity” for what was almost certainly the largest audience of his career up to that point, thanks to a little help from a satellite. The performance at the Ivor Novello Awards was transmitted live via satellite to a number of other countries, among them America, Australia, France, Holland, Spain, and Venezuela, which was a pretty big deal for an up-and-comer like Bowie. https://rh-ino.co/thisisbowie | RHINO
