David Bowie Heroes Bing Crosby s Merrie Olde Christmas TV Special Xmas 2019 Revision 1977

This video is a new version of David Bowies 1977 performance of Heroes, from Bing Crosbys Merrie Olde Christmas TV Special. On this version, sound and vision have been considerably altered: an attempt to create a more satisfying standalone video of the clip. Bing Crosbys Merrie Olde Christmas was recorded in Elstree, Borehamwood near London, on the 11th of September 1977. It was originally broadcast that year in the US on the 30th of November by CBS, and in the UK on the 24th of December by ITV. The show had two segments that featured David Bowie. The second segment was his first live vocal of Heroes sung over the backing track.
