Space Oddity- David Brighton's Tribute to David Bowie Tickets

I, as a huge Bowie fan, well understand Bowiests tend to think that Bowie is not for a tribute band - he is a unique and only one charisma whom nobody can impersonate - frankly, I had thought the same until I saw them. David Brighton is of course not David Bowie, however it would be really difficult to find any better impersonator even if you try to look for around the world. He is also a man of ideas - kick off the stage with "Station To Station" in 1976 tour costume, then he transforms himself to Ziggy - then he ends the show as a pop star Bowie in 1983 "Serious Moonlight Tour". If you try to reproduce these reincarnations of Bowie history during the single show, it requires a band with the ability to play from Hard Rock, Glam Rock to Philly Soul and New Wave Pop. He fortunately established a mean machine band which easily covers such broad range of music. Most importantly, we can see their respect for Bowie always - at the OC Fair show, they played “Aladdin Sane” full album – avant-garde piano improvisation by Mike Garson on title truck was almost perfectly reproduced on the stage. They always try to offer some additional value as a tribute band – the other day, they delivered an acoustic show and played some supreme cuts from “Hunky Dory” album, such as “Quick Sand”. Now the 70’s, golden age of Rock is long ago – lots of great artists passed away or are half retired. So I believe this kind of respectful but challenging tribute band, NOT just another cover band which just plays hit songs for drunken audience, will be more appreciated.

We saw David Brighton's David Bowie tribute, Space Oddity, for the first time on New Year's Eve, 2011. We only caught part of their performance so we were excited to see their full concert. We were not disappointed. They played for almost two hours! The entire band are outstanding musicians and performers. David Brighton is amazing and puts on a show that has you believing you just saw David Bowie!

The resemblance to Bowie is almost identical. Great stage presence and performance.

Space Oddity is more than a tribute band it is a surreal experience as if you ever saw Bowie this like reliving it all over again. They go through all the phases from Ziggy, the Thin White Duke to the hip and cool Serious Moonlight Bowie. Do not miss them next time.

It is little wonder why rock icon David Bowie himself posted and recommended this event on his Facebook page. The show was "Phenomenal". From the moment David Brighton and Space Oddity took the stage there were few audience members not on their feet dancing and singing along. If you get an opportunity to see David Brighton and Space Oddity do so ! You will not be disappointed.

I really wanted to like the tribute to David Bowie since I am a huge fan, but what I came away with was more questions about the band, it's legitamacy and the sanity of the seemingly insecure Bowie impersonator who led it. First, there was the tracks that obviously sported more "horns" and background vocals than were represented on stage, which made me doubt both the keyboard player (was she really playing?) and the singers - how many were live, how many were Memorex? When "Bowie" appeared with much drama and fanfare, the eras of music he did were mixed up and not well introduced. At one time, the film behind the band spoke of Ziggy and the costume was Ziggy, but instead of a song from Ziggy Stardust, Rebel Rebel from Diamond Dogs was played. His voice was a lighter, weaker version of Bowie's and his rythm whilst clapping was way off and kind of sad. He looked like he had a lot of facial surgery to try to look more like Bowie, thereby making him seem just that much more desparate to get the audience to believe he was Bowie. The bottom line is that his voice was thin and his performance was weak. The whole performance kind of rests on the voice of the iconic person you're imitating, and this guy was not the belter Bowies was/is. I do have to say the costumes and wigs were good - but a bit too many changes going on to really appreciate them all. As for the rest of the band, very good players and if the keyboard was actually playing and not using tracks, she was amazing. The problem is, I left with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. A tribute act should be talented enough on it's own without having to make the show into an "illusion" of the real deal.

David Brighton has the look and voice and his incredible band certainly has the sound and vibe! This band is spot on perfect! I did not know the performance was to include the complete Aladdin Sane album which was a huge surprise and treat for this Bowie fan! They played the album note for note and the even the back ground harmonies were chillingly perfect! I'd love to see them do this performance over and over again! See this show! You wont regret it!

He did a great David Bowie......However he should have played the songs that the crowd was looking for. The few songs that were recognized by the crowd had everyone on their feet and singing along. Give the people what they want. I know it was the 40th anniversary Blah, Blah, Blah

It was just awesome, I've seen Bowie live every tour since Dimond Dogs and David Brighton is spot on. Especially early Bowie and the band, backing vocals, all great. You love Bowie you have to see A Space Oddity!

The show was amazing he puts on a good show. I would reccomend his show to anyone that likes David Bowie I have seen him several times

Space Oddity was so much fun! Great musicians, good mix of songs, and wonderful energy throughout. I'd see them again tomorrow!

They did a great show and it was alot of fun...BLABLABLAETCETCETC

First time seeing this tribute and having never seen the real deal myself, thoroughly enjoyed this fine group of musicians. Mr. Brighton does an excellent and very thoughtful job presenting decades of David Bowie music along with videos and costumes. The whole band (2 electric guitars, bass, drums and keyboards) was great! The female keyboard player had some killer skill and sound. You could tell there were fans that follow this band in the crowd. I would definitely see them again and recommend catching them if you have the opportunity.

If I didn't know better I would have thought that David Bowie himself was onstage in The Hanger @ The OC Fair on Saturday night. David Brighton had the mannerism's, stage presence, outfits & the sound of Bowie down pat. He sang all of my favorite songs going all of the way back to Man who Sold the World. His keyboard player was not only beautiful but an extremely talented player with a fabulous voice singing background & on her duets with David. He even intoduced his 2 guitar players as "Earl Slick" & "Mick Ronson". I would recommend that anyone who is a fan of David Bowie should go see Space Oddity by David Brighton.

David Brighton does a great job to replicate Mr. Jones in appearance and vocals. Song selection reflects some of Bowie's best and most popular - with a few other great 70's tunes thrown in. The band is amazing. While the Beatles' tribute band, Fab Four, was playing at the Pacific Amphitheatre, Space Oddity was paying homage to one of greatest artists of rock 'n roll. The show demonstrated multiple snapshots of periods in the 70's and 80's that changed the music world. I'll say it again, if you're a fan of David Bowie, you will love this band.

GREAT performance. The lead guitarist as well as the big man himself were amazing. My only disappointment was the fact that the group did a few covers. I think David Bowie's library is sooo extensive that there shouldn't have been any covers at all. But i'd still go see them perform again. Was definitely a great time.

I am a huge David Bowie fan and I must say this guy has it all. The look is spot on, the clothes, the signature stances that Bowie does on stage, the voice. It was almost like seeing Bowie himself. I would see this again and again. David Brighton is excellent! Well done!

As David Brighton took the stage and began his tribute performance I was immediately taken back to the 70's. His appearance, voice and mannerism were so like David Bowie that it brought me back to the days when I stood beside my fellow Bowie worshipers, dancing and rocking the night away. At first his face was not quite Bowie's but, as the night progressed, the differences faded until he completely morphed into David Bowie and I almost forgot that I wasn't seeing the actual man on stage. My only regret was that it was over too quickly as I could have spent hours more listening and being mesmerized by this awesome performer. The band and female vocalist were equally as impressive and I will definitely be attending any and all future performances in my area.

I am a HUGE Bowie fan, and David Brighton has him down pat. His voice is great, and has his movements and mannerisms down to every little detail. I have seen this show before, which was much longer, with more costume changes and more obscure songs, all of which, he does with amazing detail. Super fun show! Great showman!

From the moment he stepped onstage at the Hanger (Orange County Fairgrounds new venue) Mr. Brighton gave his audience a show worthy of the rock legend he impersonates. The crowd was so pleased with Brighton and his band that they demanded a 2 song encore.
