Track 108: Moonage Daydream (Sound Of The Seventies: 16-05-72)

This version of Moonage Daydream is killer. It’s like a psychadelic fairground ride. It is one of the five tracks recorded for Bowie’s third BBC Radio session of 1972 (see trackbytrack 102 for the first two sessions). Apart from the almost obligatory Velvet’s cover – which kicks off the cuts – this session only steals from the as-yet-to-be-released Ziggy Stardust (which sets it apart from the other four ’72 sessions – all of which include Hunky Dory and even Space Oddity tracks). The song had begun life as an Arnold Corns song – a short lived side-project – even being released as a single back in early ’71 (see trackbytrack 77). The album version (as we will see) had been recorded in November of that year; some six or so months later, the band have taken it on the road. It has been played live night after night since February. And that’s what we get here – Moonage Daydream raw, visceral, live. Bowie and the band are having a blast on this session (see more stuff below) – and nowhere is this more apparent than Moonage Daydream. The verses have a loose jive about them, very unlike the Ziggy cut; Ronno’s solo is immense; and the dudes in the studio have some fun with the mixing desk and Bowie’s vocal towards the end. Amazing stuff…

‘Moonage Daydream’: Track 2 of the Sound Of The Seventies: John Peel session. Recorded 16-05-72 and broadcast 23-05-72. Written by David Bowie. Available on Bowie at the Beeb.
