Diamond Dogs’ Moonage Daydream
Posted by Moonage | Filed under Interpretations
The beauty of the internet, and, the dismay of the major recording studios, is that anyone can put their stuff out there and it’s immediately accessible to the masses. Youtube is IMO the culmination of all the internet was meant to do in regards to the performing arts. Tonight I stumbled across a tribute band called Diamond Dogs. Here’s their version of Moonage Daydream performed live:
I love it for several reasons. They definitely have the essence of Bowie, if not the dress. The “bitch slap” between Bowie and Ronson, the mime routine from Width of a Circle, and, although someone unknowing complains on Youtube, the extended guitar solo Ronson blisters in the live version so Bowie could make a costume change. It’s almost all there. I even like the flute interlude. Good job Diamond Dogs!

December 14th, 2006 at 1:25 amThank you so much for the video The “Diamond Dogs” have captured the energy and sexual tension of a Bowie performance. It is a good way for the young generation to experance it. It is as fresh now as it was when David did it.The guitarist has Mic’s music down but he doesn’t come anywhere near in looks.
