DAVID BOWIE & MICK RONSON | Top of the Pops 1973 | Lost In Time Media

🎸 Welcome to another "Musical Moment, Lost in Time!" 🎸

Today, we revisit a truly iconic and long-lost treasure — David Bowie’s legendary performance of “Jean Genie” on Top of the Pops, recorded on January 3, 1973, and originally aired the next day. But for nearly four decades, this dazzling moment of glam rock glory vanished into the ether... until it was miraculously recovered and re-broadcast by the BBC on December 21, 2011.

🔹 The Performance:
Wearing his futuristic metallic jumpsuit and rocking that now-iconic red mullet, Bowie appeared on national TV alongside Mick Ronson, arm-in-arm, delivering a mesmerizing version of “Starman” with all the glitter, charisma, and theatricality that defined the Ziggy Stardust era. His casual arm-around-Ronson moment shocked and captivated the British public — particularly young viewers — and became a cultural flashpoint overnight.

🔹 Why It Mattered:
This wasn’t just a song. This was a signal from another world. For many watching that night, Bowie’s performance felt like a permission slip to be different, to stand out, and to dream big. It’s widely credited as one of the most influential televised performances in music history, inspiring future artists like Boy George, Gary Kemp (Spandau Ballet), and even Noel Gallagher to pick up instruments.

🔹 Lost and Found:
The original broadcast was wiped by the BBC (a common practice at the time to save on videotape). For years, it was considered gone forever—until a retired BBC technician revealed he had saved a copy on his personal U-matic tape. The recovery was hailed as a major moment in music archiving, giving fans the chance to re-experience Bowie in one of his finest forms.
