Actually it was Angie who sold the idea of getting this concert on film to RCA when DeFries couldn't get another penny from them. So we have her to thank for this.
I think people usually forgets how important was Mick Ronson for David Bowie reaching stardom. He created an amazing sound that was critical for their success and became a trademark of that era. I know David was always thankful for this. RIP Mick Ronson
Nope we do not forget. The big crowd never knew who Mick Ronson was anyway. The ones who do know his work will never forget his work & his wonderful human being.
The whole band were incredible. Trevor Bolder's bass in this track is gargantuan. You only catch a brief glimpse of him in this entire concert film, but he had the best sideburns in the game at the time too.
Of course David has stage presence in every song he does. But look at Mick! The tone, the physicality, the fierceness. He becomes one with the guitar and is a monster!
I can’t put my finger on it, but he’s a time traveler, alien or something. Too many of his songs are starting to make more sense as we move deeper into the future
Simply amazing! Bowie was a genius that changed music forever! I really consider this version, with Mick Ronson’s guitar solo, the best version for this song!!
I do appreciate Bowie. Peter Gabriel was also way ahead of his time for theatrics. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was maybe the first Live Rock Broadway Show.
The kids in this footage are pure rock. Eternally. I love these girls so much! They make the show. Bowie knew this. He WAS the show. Perfect synch. For all to enjoy for eternity.
We grow up in time when rock was so far ahead anything today. I grew up SF CA bay area Winterland & the Fillmore in SF,CA was cheap even if you had a fair job. I would go every week unless I went camping in the Sierra/Lakes.
im a teenager now and i can say this song and this perforcmance is so incredible to me, that nasty bass player, mick on guitar, bowies vocals. its such a great song.
Yes! I love her! Wish I could interview her and ask her what that concert that song that performance meant to her. She was channeling something that night. I so agree.
This live version of Ziggy Stardust is great, Mick Ronson's guitar gives me chills every time I listen to it, he borders on genius. Ronson is for me one of the best guitarists of the 20th century.
For 1973, Ronson easily won the GOLD for the best live performance. For eternity, easily in the top 5!! Ronson was the single biggest force in helping in reviving Bowie's career in the early 70's.
It took me a little to see that this song is one of the greatest ever. The "presence" on stage of Bowie was tremendous and this solo is simply crazy ... look at the transe people are into !!! just because the intensity of song starts at the first note and ends at the very last, without a drop during 7+ minutes ... AMAZING
I was thinking the same and tuned in to the bass, too... the pounding bass made me think of Yes - Chris Squire. Bowie and Ronson were obviously phenomenal, but the rhythm section was too. The energy was just amazing
Mick Ronson is the unsung hero of British music: Wrote/ play the piano, string arrangements on "Perfect Day" and co produced Lou Reed's Transformer's album. Among other things.
La versión de estudio es bellísima, pero esta es para mí, la versión definitiva de la canción. La potencia de la banda, la energía de Bowie y sobre todo el impresionante solo de Mick Ronson la llevan a otro nivel. Y ese final...teatralidad pura. Tengo encargado el paquete con Blu-Ray y no puedo esperar a recibirlo para disfrutar del concierto completo en casa.
a mi en lo personal me gusta la manera en la que canta en este show, por un lado las pequeñas variacones a la de estudio y por otro lado como en algunas partes canta unas partes con mas fuerza pero en otras pareciera cantar casi sin ganas.
Best live performance (for me). Finally on the official channel! Mick's solo is amazing and David is mesmerizing. And the fans are totally... enthralled.
Love the beautiful girl who's miming to the song at 0:53. Every rock and roller should aspire to seeing that level of emotion when they're peforming.What a great "space face"!

Me siento muy afortunado ❤
David’s chance meeting with Mick was the catalyst that set the foundation of Bowie’s future success. These two had and continue to have a profound influence on my life. Thank you both so much RIP.
I love David Bowie in this period he was unique and 30 years ahead of everything else. But. He was with Ronson and never better after. They worked together perfectly and for me defined the sound of the 70s.
Bowie's best ever song in my humble opinion & this absolute killer live take is just perfect & Mick Ronson's guitar work is awesome & not forgetting the other Spiders who were a top rank outfit...... Music making taken to another level here
I just have to shout out the bassist and drummer on this. Ronzo and Bowie get all the love and mostly rightfully -but the drums and bass on this are fucking stellar and deserve more praise.
Imagine at the time being a fan of David...the impact he had was huge, he was pop,rock,icon...everything a rock star needs ..this song and this exhibition it's absolutely larger than life❤ I miss you always David
Wow!!! Just WOW!!!! 👍 Mick Ronson! ! The emotion he could conjure up from a guitar, just blows my mind! And in platform boots and catsuit! That took some massive balls to do!!! Rest easy Mick! 😁💕🌈xx
This is what glam rock is, nothing else. Not even other songs on the album, just this video. This was glam rock's moment, nobody else is going to reach that climax.
There will never be a better version of this song ever. This is a perfect example of how to do so much with a guitar solo with so little. Just transports you
i could barely keep myself from crying whilst watching this whole performance in july. absolutely phenomenal. i really hope its possible to restore some more concerts of his because i will surely be there trying to keep my tears in.
As far as I'm concerned this album was the soundtrack to the last two years of highschool, listened to this record smoking weed driving getting high this song was blasting out of my cassette tape deck, driving aimlessly around!
Seeing Moonage Daydream and the Ziggy Stardust film in theaters was absolutely incredible, I can’t imagine how amazing it was to actually be there. I wish I was old enough to have had the privilege to see him live, unfortunately I was just about a month old when he did his very last performance😭💔
Stage Presence!!!! ❤
Does everyone realize this may be one of the best guitar solo endings ever in the history of rock n roll
yup
without a doubt
All to give Bowie time to do a costume change! 😂
Sure.
And a couple of bumps, no doubt. @@john8451
In my opinion David is the greatest rock artist of all time
He's definitely up there

The Spiders from Mars were a truly Gr8 band. Mick Ronson was a fantastic guitarist. Bowie would not have been the same without him. Bless them both!!
I agree.. Never ever forget Mick,only true fans knows importance of him❤
Of course David has stage presence in every song he does. But look at Mick! The tone, the physicality, the fierceness. He becomes one with the guitar and is a monster!
The spider’s from Mars - definitely enhanced David’s career.
Love when they do the walk~stance together in perfect unison, Mick’s outfit is da bomb…whew, such a gorgeous man! 😅
I think he invented fierce!
Mick Ronson "Ronno" underpinned Walk On the Wild Side with Lou Reed and John Mellencamp's Jack and Diane 🤌
Of all the guitarists that worked with Bowie over the years, Mick Ronson and Robert Fripp are my favorites
I can’t put my finger on it, but he’s a time traveler, alien or something. Too many of his songs are starting to make more sense as we move deeper into the future
He’s not a time traveler or an alien. He’s a dude from England who made some really good music

Those ladies would be getting close to 70 years old!! Rock and Roll, will never die!
@@DADSSTUFF Yeah. I hate time so goddamn much much! All my teenage girlfriends are well over 50 now.
Mick Ronson is one of the most underrated guitarists ever. This will always be in my top 10 favorite songs of all time.
This solo is like the blueprint of the essential electric guitar! Distortion, delay, bending, Tons of raw sound! This is pure Sex!!
Listen to his album Live at the Tower Philadelphia 1974. In my view, that's it.
Really? I think it's quite unexceptional. The delay is overused to the point of ridiculousness. Sorry, not a great guitar solo at all.

I’m 64 and going to see this show in Blackburn in May 1973 was the best experience of my whole life ❤❤❤
I’m 64 and feel the same 🇬🇧😂
I'm 64 and seen him many times over the years but not this one unfortunately
You are all so lucky!
On behalf of all the Bowie fans in their 40s I'd just like to say..... you lucky bastard !
❤
I was a teenager when this was happening. I thought it was so magical. Now I’m 68 years old and it still is pure magic!! ❤

THIS is how to transcend a song. The studio version was already great, the live version is a masterpiece!
A masterpiece!!
I UA-camd the live version, I somehow knew he’d have emphasised the euphoric guitar at the end
The live version is definitely a master class of rock ‘n’ roll
It's not often David Bowie gets upstaged, Mick Ronson completely nails that
Absolutely monstrous guitar playing.
David planned it!

How sad is this, when Mick plays THAT solo, I could cry. One of my all time favourite guitar solo and player.
Agreed. It is beyond amazing. And cool as hell.

No illuminated phone screens , everyone is digging the music. Love Bowie
It was ‘73 😂
No phone screens to be illuminatef they didnt exist lol
This one is for the ages. It doesn't get better than this!
It really doesn't.
OMG what a guitar solo from rono…goose bumps….

An amazing band at their prime. Maybe something to get scared of.
The Whole Band was on fire, Omg!!😅
Woody & Trevor killing it As Always 🔥🔥🔥
The bass was really pounding. Loved it. Reminded me of Chris Squire.

We absolutely WERE the guitar generation. I don’t know what happened but looking back I wouldn’t trade the ‘70s for anything.
Glad I found this. Saw Bowie in the 70's. The show was sold out here so a bunch of us drove 200 miles and it was more than worth it. Memories galore.
Fifty years later, this still stands up as a fine, fine piece of work - at least in my opinion.
