Artist: David Bowie
Song: The Jean Genie
Album: Aladdin Sane
Lyrics
A small jean genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking bout monroe and walking on snow white
New yorks a go-go and everything tastes nice
Poor little greenie, woh ho
Get back home
The jean genie lives on his back
The jean genie loves chimney stacks
Hes outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean genie let yourself go!
Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She love him, she love him but just for a short while
Shell scratch in the sand, wont let go his hand
He says hes a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little greenie, woh ho
The jean genie lives on...

David Bowie - Jean Genie live 1973 (new edit / remastered) 1980 Floor Show
This is the latest of my '1980 Floor Show' re-edits. Although broadly similar to the broadcast version, it differs from from it in many places. It keeps the emphasis squarely on Bowie and Ronson with less cutaways. In fact I would almost call it an 'un-edit', as it restores the interplay between Bowie and Ronson which was covered over with insert shots by the nervous US TV network.
These performances were very different to the experience of a live gig. Bowie and the band would run though each song several times until he was happy with it. Between takes as the equipment was reset, Bowie would exchange banter with the audience which was comprised of specially invited fan club members.
Often he would stop a song- mid-performance if he was unhappy with something. Other takes were halted by ...

Lyrics
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash-back blazers
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go, and everything tastes right
Poor little Greenie, ooh-ooh
Keep her comin'
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoah
Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She love him, she love him but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie, ooh-ooh
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoah
He's so simple-minded, he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in a capsule
Loves to be loved, loves to be loved
Oh, Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoah
Go!
Go!
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoah
Go, go go!

This is the latest of my '1980 Floor Show' re-edits. Although broadly similar to the broadcast version, it differs from from it in many places. It keeps the emphasis squarely on Bowie and Ronson with less cutaways. In fact I would almost call it an 'un-edit', as it restores the interplay between Bowie and Ronson which was covered over with insert shots by the nervous US TV network.
These performances were very different to the experience of a live gig. Bowie and the band would run though each song several times until he was happy with it. Between takes as the equipment was reset, Bowie would exchange banter with the audience which was comprised of specially invited fan club members.
Often he would stop a song- mid-performance if he was unhappy with something. Other takes were halted by technical faults.
As far as I can tell, the live feed from the various cameras were fed into a vision mixer and an instant edit was created while Bowie performed.
Once Bowie was happy with a performance, the cameras were re-positioned and the audio from his chosen take was played back over the PA while Bowie and the band mimed and lip-synched to the playback. Often during these lipsynched runthroughs, Bowie or Ronson would miss a cue or come in too soon. Parts of this performance would later be intercut with the original 'live' edit for the broadcast version.
For this edit. I've gone back to the actual live performance to create something more raw and authentic. I've only had to use an insert shot very occasionally to cover up something awkward in the original edit. A shot of Bowie at the mic wasn't used in the broadcast version probably because the camera wobbled badly. Luckily that can be easily fixed these days with digital tools and so I've put it in.
Running at two minutes longer than the album version, this is a blistering performance of 'Jean Genie'. Turn up the volume and enjoy.

This video is a new edit of the superb footage shot by Mick Rock in San Francisco 28 October 1972, as used in his The Jean Genie promo, recut and synced to an audio of The Jean Genie recorded live in Santa Monica, 20 October 1972.
•
David Bowie set off for America on the QE2 on 10th September 1972, arriving in New York on the 17th. Rehearsals for the US Ziggy Stardust tour started the following day, at RCA Recording Studios, New York. During rehearsals, auditions were held for pianists for the tour. Mike Garson was chosen.
On the 22nd of September, the US tour commenced at the Cleveland Music Hall. After about 4 or 5 shows there was a pause in the touring schedule for a few days. On the 6th of October a new song was recorded at RCA Studios, New York. The Jean Genie was based on jamming the Yardbirds’ I’m A Man on the tour bus a fortnight earlier. After jamming on the riff “as a laugh” in the studio, with a hastily written lyric, the song took shape. The band recorded the track in one take and added overdubs. An hour and a half later it was complete and they had the next single. Bowie (1973): I wanted to get the same sound the Stones had on their very first album. I didn’t get that near to it, but it had a feel that I wanted – that Sixties thing.
The tour resumed the next day, October 7th. On the 20th of October was the first of two shows at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This concert was recorded and broadcast live by KMET-FM, giving Bowie invaluable exposure.
Incidentally, as the broadcast was good quality stereo, it was quickly bootlegged. A couple of decades later, In 1994 the recording was released as Santa Monica ‘72 by the labels Golden Years and Griffin Music in the UK and US respectively. There was dispute as to the legality of these releases. In 2008 the recording was “officially” released in a remastered form as Live Santa Monica ‘72 by EMI.
On the 27th and 28th of October, the band were in San Francisco for two shows at the Winterland Auditorium. On the 27th, Mick Rock filmed Bowie and the band in a studio, along with location shots of Bowie posing at the Mars Hotel with Cyrinda Foxe. The material was intended for a promo video for Jean Genie.
On the following day, Rock looked at the footage and decided that more material was needed, but they had used the entire budget of $350. Mick Rock (1999): Somehow I got some more dollars off DeFries to rent an Arriflex camera – a silent one – and I shot all the live stuff myself the next night, because David did two nights at the Winterland. So, I filmed him singing The Jean Genie that night, processed overnight and, because there was no time, edited in one ten-hour rush. I had to chop it up a lot to keep everything in sync with his live performance, which was fairly close to the recorded version, as he’d only just recorded it.
Roger Griffin's David Bowie The Golden Years, and David Buckley's Strange Fascination were invaluable and are liberally quoted in the above information.
•
Editing the Mick Rock material, it is clear to me that he had to slow it down a lot to sync it to the studio version of Jean Genie. And so I have had to do the reverse - I have sped up the footage by around 15% to match the live performance. What is also very evident to me is what a great job Mick Rock did in capturing the footage. It is surely the best live footage we have of Bowie in 1972. And arguably the best live footage of the entire Ziggy Stardust era.
So it was a no-brainer to try to recycle Mick’s brilliant San Francisco footage and sync it to the Santa Monica live version of The Jean Genie.
Thanks for watching, hope you dig it!

On the 22nd of September, the US tour commenced at the Cleveland Music Hall. After about 4 or 5 shows there was a pause in the touring schedule for a few days. On the 6th of October a new song was recorded at RCA Studios, New York. The Jean Genie was based on jamming the Yardbirds’ I’m A Man on the tour bus a fortnight earlier. After jamming on the riff “as a laugh” in the studio, with a hastily written lyric, the song took shape. The band recorded the track in one take and added overdubs. An hour and a half later it was complete and they had the next single. Bowie (1973): I wanted to get the same sound the Stones had on their very first album. I didn’t get that near to it, but it had a feel that I wanted – that Sixties thing.
The tour resumed the next day, October 7th. On the 20th of October was the first of two shows at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This concert was recorded and broadcast live by KMET-FM, giving Bowie invaluable exposure.
Incidentally, as the broadcast was good quality stereo, it was quickly bootlegged. A couple of decades later, In 1994 the recording was released as Santa Monica ‘72 by the labels Golden Years and Griffin Music in the UK and US respectively. There was dispute as to the legality of these releases. In 2008 the recording was “officially” released in a remastered form as Live Santa Monica ‘72 by EMI.
On the 27th and 28th of October, the band were in San Francisco for two shows at the Winterland Auditorium. On the 27th, Mick Rock filmed Bowie and the band in a studio, along with location shots of Bowie posing at the Mars Hotel with Cyrinda Foxe. The material was intended for a promo video for Jean Genie.
On the following day, Rock looked at the footage and decided that more material was needed, but they had used the entire budget of $350. Mick Rock (1999): Somehow I got some more dollars off DeFries to rent an Arriflex camera – a silent one – and I shot all the live stuff myself the next night, because David did two nights at the Winterland. So, I filmed him singing The Jean Genie that night, processed overnight and, because there was no time, edited in one ten-hour rush. I had to chop it up a lot to keep everything in sync with his live performance, which was fairly close to the recorded version, as he’d only just recorded it.
Roger Griffin's David Bowie The Golden Years, and David Buckley's Strange Fascination were invaluable and are liberally quoted in the above information.

Editing the Mick Rock material, it is clear to me that he had to slow it down a lot to sync it to the studio version of Jean Genie. And so I have had to do the reverse - I have sped up the footage by around 15% to match the live performance. What is also very evident to me is what a great job Mick Rock did in capturing the footage. It is surely the best live footage we have of Bowie in 1972. And arguably the best live footage of the entire Ziggy Stardust era.
So it was a no-brainer to try to recycle Mick’s brilliant San Francisco footage and sync it to the Santa Monica live version of The Jean Genie.
Thanks for watching, hope you dig it!
