Info
David Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust, his most famous alter-ego, in front of 5000 stunned fans at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. Now, the fully restored film and soundtrack will be released for the first time for the 50th anniversary of the show. Renowned filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, Bob Dylan - Don’t Look Back, Depeche Mode - 101) captured the momentous event by filming Bowie and The Spiders From Mars backstage and onstage.

Although filmed 50 years ago, the film was not widely seen for over a decade. However, the film and its soundtrack have been newly remastered with the medley of ‘The Jean Genie/Love Me Do’ medley and ‘Round And Round’ featuring the late legendary Jeff Beck reinstated - the latter track making its very first appearance anywhere. Both performances were newly mixed by long-time Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti.

The show featured Bowie’s famous speech just before the final encore, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide’, where he revealed that he was retiring the Ziggy Stardust persona. The shocking announcement came as a surprise to all in attendance – including members of his band and was the first proclamation of its kind in rock and roll.

Released: June 2023
Label: Parlophone

Beautiful reissue!

Yet another Bowie reissue. Finally releasing the entire final Ziggy concert with the missing Jeff Beck tracks at last on an official pressing. Beautiful mix by Tony Visconti, the Blu-ray has an even more immersive mix. The artwork and tri-fold sleeve are stunning.

Classic recording of a classic concert

I was lucky enough (and old enough) to have seen David Bowie on this tour in 1973 at Wolverhampton civic hall and I still have the program from the gig and now have a recording of the last gig of the tour to go with it. A really good album with plenty of reminders of how good David and the spiders were. Mick Ronson was, and still is one of my all time favourite guitarists so this album can do no wrong as far as I am concerned, just brilliant!
