25 YEARS AGO TONIGHT BOWIE AT THE CONCERT FOR NYC “All come to look for America...” Twenty five years ago this evening, David Bowie’s performance of Simon & Garfunkel’s America and his own "Heroes" were part of The Concert for New York City, a benefit that took place on October 20th, 2001 at Madison Square Garden in NYC. The concert was in honour of the 9/11 first responders from the New York City Fire Department and New York City Police Department, their families, those lost in the attacks and those who had worked in the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in the weeks afterwards. Accompanying himself on the Omnichord, David’s moving and thought-provoking performance was followed by a personal acknowledgement of his local fire crew... “Hi friends. Hi fellow New Yorkers. I'd particularly like to say hello to the folks from my local ladder. You know where you are. I must say it's an absolute privilege to play for you tonight.” Watch the performance of America over on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=afifZfUk… David is pictured here during the performance and while rehearsing for the show. #BowieConcertForNYC #BowieAmerica
