Live Versions
- A live audience recording from The Public Hall, Cleveland, Ohio, on 25 November 1972 was released on the bonus disc of the Aladdin Sane - 30th Anniversary Edition in 2003. Not included in that release was Bowie's introduction to the song, as follows:
| “ | This is the bit where all the people with the tape recorders have to leave, because I'm gonna do a new number and you mustn't record it.... I'll tell you where we wrote this. We wrote this from Phoenix down to Seattle—no, see, it's the other way around, isn't it—from Seattle down to Phoenix, and it was about the future, and it's about a future where people have forgotten how to make love, so they go back onto video-films that they have kept from this century. This is after a catastrophe of some kind, and some people are living on the streets and some people are living in domes, and they borrow from one another and try to learn how to pick up the pieces. And it's called "Drive-In Saturday." | ” |
- The song was performed by Bowie in many times in 1999, specially during his show in VH1 Storytellers, which reuned his favorite songs. An album, VH1 Storytellers (David Bowie album), was released in 2009.

drag out forgotten fruit
to dance the flame-tango,
the smoke-gavotte,
to live after all....”
