Only available in bootleg versions before this 2008 EMI release, LIVE SANTA MONICA '72 presents David Bowie in full glam-rock grandeur completely inhabiting his outlandish Ziggy Stardust persona as he leads his Spiders from Mars through a fierce set that draws heavily from HUNKY DORY and, not surprisingly, THE RISE & FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST. In addition to cherry-picking many of the finest tunes from Bowie's early era (most notably a thunderous extended version of "The Width of a Circle"), the set also finds the erstwhile Davy Jones covering Jacques Brel (a wistful take on "My Death" that nods to key Bowie influence Scott Walker) and the Velvet Underground (a faithful version of "Waiting for the Man"). Easily one of the best Bowie concert albums available, LIVE SANTA MONICA '72 is ideal for Ziggy acolytes and glam disciples.

Recorded 1972 , ranks as perhaps the best document of the Spiders from Mars at their peak

Recorded live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica, California on October 20, 1972.

Personnel: David Bowie (vocals, guitar); Mick Ronson (guitar, bass, background vocals); Mike Garson (keyboards); Trevor Bolder (bass); Mick "Woody" Woodmansey (drums).

Rolling Stone (4/20, p.72) - "...David Bowie's classic concert broadcast with the Spiders From Mars....is finally available as SANTA MONICA '72. And you need it at least for the 10-minute wig out on "The Width of a Circle," a fat slice of the late Mick Ronson in his glitter blitzkrieg-guitar prime..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he set has the pace of a well-tuned theatrical show. After an excitable 'Hang On To Yourself,' Bowie introduces a character, plays pop cabaret and the singer-songwriter man..."
Blender (Magazine) (p.92) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A]t this show, Bowie sounds awestruck, and so do the kids, face-to-face with something commensurate to their capacity for wonder."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'The ragged edges prove just how Ziggy influenced punk....It's obvious why this has been one of the fans' most treasured bootlegs for over 25 years."

Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars a time capsule from '72
This was the time to see Bowie, before anyone else & before all the hype. They obviously set out to conquer America for the first time. Why wasn't this released then instead of David Live in '75(although I will always love David Live)? Wow, what a great album & individually numbered for Limited Edition status. A big thanks to CD Universe for replacing my damaged copy. Anyone ordering this, should use Priority or First Class for shipping.

5 stars Where's the Syd song?
I thought David would at least pay a little tribute to his hero, Syd Barrett. The Velvet Underground cover is so good it sounds like Lou. I remember seeing this same tour as a teenager in '72 on TV on Don Kirshner's In Concert series Live @ the Hammersmith Odeon in London w/Jeff Beck joining Mick Ronson for Jean Genie. I've also seen the 1984 floor show, but this is where it's at for the Spiders at their peak.

3 stars Intereswting AHistgoric Documnent - Nothing More
This is an intriguing snapshot of Bowie during his Ziggy era, but despite packaging and price, it is still of the era's bootleg audio quality, which means at best "fair". Good for a once through but not much more. Disappointing.
