Standard packing of the legendary gender-bending Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, in his final performance at London's Hammersmith Odeon in 1973. In the 1970s, British glam rocker David Bowie defined an androgynous, gender-bending style which had a huge impact on popular culture. Famous for his rock and roll characters and alter egos, Bowie put on a legendary unique live show. This film, from director D.A. Pennebaker, who also made the classic Bob Dylan rockumentary DON'T LOOK BACK, captures Bowie as his most famous character, Ziggy Stardust, the rock star from Mars. Bowie/Ziggy dramatically performs hits from the album of the same title, as well as tracks from "Hunk Dory." A must for the Bowie fan! The quintessential moment in glam-rock history, ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS is David Bowie at his best. This film of the 1973 concert (released 10 years later) documents the hallucinogenic collage of kitsch, Warhol/Pop irony, and flamboyant excess that was the Bowie phenomenon: his trademark synthetic androgyny is a musical symbiosis of feminine passion and masculine dominance that define his funky, gender-bending art and, ultimately, the glam-rock genre as a whole. Early on, the film cuts to elaborate backstage costume changes between sets, highlighting a playlist that includes such classics as "Changes," "Space Oddity," "Time," and "Suffragette City." In this comprehensive document of a seminal peformer in music history, director D.A. Pennebaker captures the enigmatic singer's smoldering brilliance like a Hubble photograph of a supernova; it is essential viewing for Bowie fans and music historians alike. Tracks:

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Rock at its finest!
Rock and roll the way it's supposed to be be. Charismatic singer, wailing guitars, fantastic drummer. David Bowie is the consummate artist, a master showman. No wonder these "oldies" acts still survive. This is music, this is performance art at its best! Long live rock n' roll!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Best Concert Ever!
Any David Bowie fan should have this concert. It was Bowie's last concert he has with the Spiders From Mars, and the show was awsome! There is a great song selection including "Ziggy Stardust", "Cracked Actor", "Space Oddity" and most of his early hits. "Moonage Daydream" is my personal favourite Bowie song, but you MUST hear it live on this DVD. The solo by Mick Ronson will freak you out, you will literally get lost in the music. This DVD version has a cool poster included. You wanna see a real concert? Get this one. I recomend this DVD to any Bowie fan, any one who likes Glam Rock music, or any one who wants to get a taste of REAL MUSIC.
