Recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon, London in 1973.

When David Bowie killed off his rock-star character Ziggy Stardust, he also announced his retirement from live performance. His "final" concert was filmed and the soundtrack sat on a shelf for a decade before its release in 1983. This live recording represents the Ziggy Stardust arc and incorporates a few different facets of Bowie's career up to that point. Starting with the ragged, garage-rock meter of "Hang on to Yourself," Bowie introduces his beloved alien ("Ziggy Stardust"), and flirts with his flamboyant side (the medley of "Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud/All The Young Dudes/Oh! You Pretty Things").

From here, Ziggy's transition ("Changes") into messianic figure takes him through a host of rock-star realities ("Let's Spend The Night Together," "White Light/White Heat") before his meteoric rise gets snuffed out in a flash ("Rock 'N' Roll Suicide"). Throughout the performance, it is easy to see how Bowie shaped future rock trends. This is one of Bowie's best recorded live performances. The mastering is fantastic as you can hear Mick Ronson's guitar in all its glory. Compared to earlier versions, it is also longer and has extra tracks (like the full solo of Width of a Circle) & spoken intros.
