This is my re-edit of 'Space Oddity' from the 1973 TV special 'The 1980 Floor Show'. The broadcast version of this song began with 30 seconds of library footage of a rocket launch playing over the intro. Later in the song, there were two further lengthy cutaways to NASA footage taking us out of the performance. Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, but it feels dated now, and I know I'd rather be watching Bowie and Ronson play than looking at stock film of a satellite in orbit. So I've ditched all the 'space' footage and restored this to a pure performance film. I've used out-takes footage to fill in the blanks and matched it with the better quality footage taken from the actual broadcast. I hope you like it. Stay tuned for more new edits of '1980 Floorshow' material and other goodies coming up in the near future,
