"Memory of a Free Festival" is a 1970 single by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. The song had originally been recorded in September 1969 as a seven-minute opus for Bowie's second self-titled album. It was reworked in March–April 1970 at the behest of Mercury Records, the label believing that the track had a better chance of success as a single than "The Prettiest Star", released earlier in the year. Bowie and Tony Visconti roughly split the track in half, re-recording it so both halves could function as individual songs. A more rock-oriented version than the earlier album cut, this rendition featured guitarist Mick Ronson.

  • «Memory of a Free Festival» es un sencillo del músico y compositor británico David Bowie. En un primer lugar se grabó como un opus de siete minutos para el segundo álbum homónimo de Bowie (reeditado bajo el título de Space Oddity en 1972). A instancias de Mercury Records se volvió a trabajar en él, ya que pensaron que podría tener más éxito como sencillo que "The Prettiest Star", lanzado poco antes. El sencillo fue un desastre comercial cuando se lanzó en Estados Unidos en junio de 1970, vendiendo sólo varios cientos de copias. También se lanzó en el Reino Unido con similar aceptación. (es)

  • Memory of a Free Festival is een nummer van de Britse muzikant David Bowie, uitgebracht als single in 1970. Het nummer werd voor het eerst opgenomen in september 1969 als afsluiter van Bowie's tweede naar zichzelf vernoemde album. In maart en april 1970 werd het nummer opnieuw opgenomen op advies van Mercury Records, dat dacht dat het nummer een betere single zou zijn dan "The Prettiest Star", wat eerder in het jaar werd uitgebracht. Bowie en producer Tony Visconti hakten het nummer in tweeën en namen beide helften opnieuw op zodat ze konden functioneren als individuele nummers. Deze versie was ietwat meer rock-georiënteerd en markeerde het debuut van gitarist Mick Ronson en drummer Mick "Woody" Woodmansey bij de band van Bowie, het begin van de line-up die vanaf The Man Who Sold the World (nl)
  • "Memory of a Free Festival" é um single do músico britânico David Bowie, lançado em 1970. A canção fora originalmente gravada em setembro de 1969 como uma faixa de sete minutos para o segundo álbum de Bowie (relançado como Space Oddity em 1972). A faixa foi regravada entre março e abril de 1970 a pedido da Mercury Records, que acreditava que o single tinha uma maior chance de sucesso que "The Prettiest Star", lançada anteriormente naquele ano. Bowie e Tony Visconti dividiram a a faixa em duas partes, regravando as duas de maneira que cada uma funcionasse independentemente. Sendo mais rock que a anterior, essa versão marcou o início da presença do guitarrista Mick Ronson e do baterista na banda de estúdio de Bowie, formando o grupo que, pouco depois, gravaria The Man Who Sold the World.
