Thank you for sharing my friend SGT (Join to see) the music video of David Bowie - Space Oddity live from the 1980 Floor Show, filmed at the Marquee Club in London, October 19-20, 1973.
No surprise the fools booed David Bowie fro reading poetry in 1969. Thanksfully what you shared ifs from 1973.
David Bowie, Mick Ronson (lead guitar), Trevor Bolder (bass), Mike Garson (keyboards),
Mark Carr Pritchard (guitar), Aynsley Dunbar (drums)

"Space Oddity"
Lyrics
"Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown,
engines on
Check ignition
and may God's love be with you

[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control
to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead,
there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

Kind of hard imagining David Bowie being booed off a stage.
