David Bowie - Blackout (Live) from Stage (1978) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSEahhbluNA Bass line from the live version of the song. I couldn't figure out the original "Heroes" version, so here it is. I think this version is more interesting to play than the original. I took a long while to figure this out, enjoy!
