I have a sad today....

1. I was lucky to see David in concert, in the 80's

He was at his prime. That memory is like a band aid on my soul, today.

3. I saw him too at Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro.

[DesertRat]

11. I saw him twice in the '70's during college

RIP, David Bowie

[LynneSin]

18. Me too! I saw him in 1983 and then for his Reality tour in the 2000s

I think Bowie was always in his prime!

[Siwsan]

20. Absolutely

During the concert I attended, he did this amazing transition through several phases of his music/personal style. It was mesmerizing. He personified musical evolution.

Shocked and sad

[Kenjie]

8. RIP David

[Bluenorthwest]

9. Me too. I saw David live 5 times over the years in concert and once at my friend's house just

hanging out which was very nice. This is a supremely sad day.

[Mnemosyne]

10. I never got to see him in concert. It was on my bucket list.

[Javaman]

12. I saw him back in the early '80's. the "serious moonlight" tour...

He was one of those musical performers that I thought would be around forever.

Rest in Peace Mr. Jones. You will be missed.

14. I got to see him in concert - sort of

Saratoga Performing Arts center. Took my brother who's a big fan. Great, GREAT seats - on paper. In reality we were behind two cement towers holding the roof up. Then he had enough stage masking that we couldn't see the band at all, and only him when he walked forward on stage. It was an expensive show that seemed to be fun, but now I'm careful about seating unless I know the venue.

He's really laid out a body of fame (no pun intended) with everyone from Bing Crosby to Grace Jones.

Big changes in the music world as these names are fading. We're down to two Beatles, fortunately still have Arethra Franklin, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan (sort of) and many others.

[Lochloosa]

15. Most venues are really good about "obstructed view" seating now.

I feel your pain on that.

[LibDemAlways]

21. I once paid a ticket broker for

floor seats for a Springsteen show and ended up behind the sound board. Couldn't see a thing. Seating can definitely be a crapshoot.

16. RIP David Bowie

I'm with you, and many others, on the sadness of his passing .

[sinkingfeeling]

17. He was awesome. RIP

[nolabear]

19. Back to the stars. Thanks for staying a little while.

[LibDemAlways]

22. I've watched his Live Aid performance dozens

of times. He soared on "Heroes" that day. Incredible artist and a gentle soul. He will be sorely missed.

[KittyWampus]

23. Poignant that you posted this w/ a Jerry avatar.

Some artists touch us deeply and change the world for the better.

[Lochloosa]

28. Yes they do. Another that comes to mind is Freddie Mercury

[Loryn]

24. No words.

[JTFrog]

25. I am heartbroken. n/t

[2naSalit]

26. Me too!

Have loved his music and his style from the first I ever heard of him. Such an inspiration and talent.

[AlbertCat]

27. One could not listen to David Bowie....

..... at the boy's Prep School I went to in the early 70s.

Why?

Because if you liked... or even listened to him, you were GAY!

Yep... you heard it here!

Only gays listened to Bowie...and Roxy Music (for some reason... I think because the lead singer was Brian Ferry... Ferry / fairy...get it?)




But I caught up in college. Some great songs!

29. RIP David Bowie

30. Life on Mars is running a loop in my head

I always felt the song was a little sad.
