Yes, he did his own makeup most of the time. Ziggy was so revolutionary when it happened. Bringing theatricality to rock n roll was pretty much unheard of. The Beatles started doing it with their music, but Bowie brought it to the stage. He changed everything! ❤
The greatest Rock Star the world has ever seen. The segue between 'Wild Eyed Boy From Frrecloud' into 'All the Young Dudes' is another major highlight of this legendary show.
Fuck man! You lucky devil! My all time favourite gig. I watch the gig nearly every day and night. I love Rock'n'roll Suicide best. Such amazing lyrics and music.Love David and his unique style and life. RIP xxoo(for you and Bowie)
@@zaradragonia9863 Your right. Lucky enough to have been born at the right time to see so many great gigs at the Odeon in its hey day. But looking back, the final Ziggy show in 73 by David, turned out to be very special indeed.
@@RonniePeterson did I tell you that it is my favourite gig ever? And that Rock'n'roll Suicide is one of my favourite songs ever too? Especially the way he extends his hands out to the audience. Amazing lyrics and music and style and dress sense (I love him in his little shorts..so sexy legs!)
Mick Ronson, one of the great guitarists of all time and really did help propel Bowie to Superstardom. Ronson's solo breaks were always a huge highlight of their shows. The Spiders From Mars made me a Bowie fan when in those days, everyone had ambivalent feelings about David Bowie. Extreme genius on display, that entire Ziggy Stardust concert on video is mesmerizing, when we saw it for the first time in the theater it freaked out the house. David Bowie and the Spiders From Mars, one of the best concerts I ever saw, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶
I saw this LIVE in the Playroom - Scarborough England way back in 1972 - what a memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little did we know what we were watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bowie was amazing.... every decade he reinvented himself. One of my favorite albums is.... David live it was on regular rotation on my turntable back in the day 🙂🎙
Watching Bowie perform live always makes me remember what he said through his entire career...."I was scared shit of being on stage....except if I could act as a character, then I could immerse myself in it and let go."
So basically Bowie had been banging on the door for many years but didn't break through, then wrote an album about a superstar and played that star like was him, he then became that star because the crowds played their part to make him a superstar, and then stuck to his own script and ended that star. An impressive hybrid of fiction intertwining with it's self created reality, and an impressive story of man in control of it all.
Wow wow wow from a Bowie fan from way back . Thanks . He is truly a superstar . His later concerts where he is just being him show a man so settled in himself it’s beautiful to see given that it wasn’t until Ziggy and his cast of alter egos that he was able to break through , personally I believe Hunky Dory is a better album , Ziggy is a story that only has a beginning and an end , the middle 3 tracks detract from the brilliance .
Guys, how great you are, you have made me happy by reacting to Bowie in his best concert, in my opinion. I have seen it many times and always hooked and fascinated me. Pure Ziggy who gives an iconic performance. Just before starting to sing Rock 'n Roll Suicide, addresses the audience and makes a speech where he says goodbye to the tour and breaks up with the band, leaving everyone surprised, even more so The Spiders from Mars. I'm 62 and I'm a big early Bowie fan. Thanks and Keep on rocking Greetings from Barcelona ❤
Was an amazing time back then. Kinda had to be there to understand. Still remember the feeling I got from seeing this live and listening to the great albums from his purple patch in the 70's.
FREAK OUT IN A MOONAGE day dream, as the glitter twins muscled each other in the front row, even at the show our art class gang of Hunky Dory`s rocked in 73, the CTS bus ride was the show with the city glitter chics dogging the burb`s avon twins in the back with us in the middle egging it on, but back to the video which DUDE you were into the whole Bowie 70s vibe but the scowl on millennial girl paints it all for me...Keep on rockin & giddyup Busypeeps
we guys and girls all wore platform shoes then they were a thing mine were multicolored with 3"" platforms not actually heals the whole sole of the shoe was built up.
Bowie's work as vocalist for Tin Machine in the late eighties gets overlooked and is one of my favorite. The band includes Reeves Gabrels and the Sales brothers, sons of performer/comedian from my youth Soupy Sales. czcams.com/video/LdG2UzNYiis/video.htmlsi=NXFg5PcbW1Hqt8g-
Blows me away that some 50 years later, some people are just catching on to Ziggy. Personally, I was hooked when my older brother introduced me to Space Oddity back when I was about 10 years old. That was 1970. So to all that are just learning about Ziggy, my question is: where you been all this time?
The next song I believe, was Space Oddity. Oh and Dev I believe you said your favourite song from the album was 'Rock And Roll Suicide', well he ended the show and indeed Ziggy the character, at this self same concert.
You wear sports underwear with that outfit, to answer your question. He did not wear normal underwear exaclty to avoid unwanted incidents. There are videos on the internet from the changing room and you can see the underwear. You don't find it offensive because he moves like a professional dancer, so he is never indecent. Bowie's image as Ziggy was carefully planned and controlled. He knew exactly how many steps he had to make from one point to another, how to bend and turn, his costumes worked as they should, covering what needed to be covered, coming off in a second when he needed to change. Nothing slipped, nothing broke, and they were preserved to this day in perfect condition. Bowie spent a lot of money hiring Kansai Yamamoto to desigh his costumes.

Lucky enough to have been there. Bowie, Ronson and the Hammersmith Odeon were a match made in heaven.

The Width Of A Circle is another must-see from this concert.
YES! Utterly epic. 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶
Was My Death waits Here also in this concert?
Beautiful! One of my favorite performances ever. Bowie is brilliant, and Mick Ronson one of the great underrated guitarists of the 80s.

I still get chills watching and listening to this and Bowie's charisma! Saw him live 12 times from 1974 to 2003 and he never disappointed!
I'm a 72 year old fart but I saw this in June 1973 at Southampton Guildhall - fucking brilliant.
Ah. Ronson. After all the years since cancer took him, he's still missed.Time to hear his solo work again.
Saw him as Ziggy then the Thin White Duke. He's out of this world.RIP DAVID 😭🙏🕊️✌️🌻🌻
My mum was born in 1923, she loved Bowie.
Saw this Gig in 1973 in Bradford, first ever concert with my now wife of 49 years. Amazing times, RIP guys.
I saw this LIVE in the Playroom - Scarborough England way back in 1972 - what a memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little did we know what we were watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trevor Boulder the bass player was actually on the stage, but ignored by the camera. He was such a big part of The Spiders.
you got that straight. Fantastic bassist.
His early albums are rock and roll genius. We got to see him in early '74.
Bowie was amazing.... every decade he reinvented himself. One of my favorite albums is....

seen bowie and the spiders 1973 feb. radio city ny. what a band. Mick is pure giutar chaos on this one.
So basically Bowie had been banging on the door for many years but didn't break through, then wrote an album about a superstar and played that star like was him, he then became that star because the crowds played their part to make him a superstar, and then stuck to his own script and ended that star.

And a great Mick Ronson !!!
David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars, it doesn´t get any better than that, fucking legends!!
Mick Ronson contributed a lot to the early Bowie sound.
In my opinion this version of Moonage Daydream contains the greatest live guitar solo of the 70s. Mick Ronson was the best.
Perfection
Wow wow wow from a Bowie fan from way back . Thanks . He is truly a superstar .

the next song was "Changes" and it's my favorite version of the song... followed then by my favorite version of "Space Oddity"
Most of the people in this audience are in their 60s or 70s today. I know I am.
As always Mick Ronson killed it on guitar! Saw him with Ian Hunter in late 80's he was great!
This is back in the time when people actually had real music. RIP Bowie.

we guys and girls all wore platform shoes then they were a thing mine were multicolored with 3"" platforms not actually heals the whole sole of the shoe was built up.
Check out the official video of 'Wild Is The Wind'...Bowie at his absolute best!

Check out Bauhaus cover of Ziggy Stardust, it’s excellent
This was his Katherine Hepburn look.
The next song I believe, was Space Oddity. Oh and Dev I believe you said your favourite song from the album was 'Rock And Roll Suicide', well he ended the show and indeed Ziggy the character, at this self same concert.
Glam rock
If you want to know what kind of underwear he wear, look at “watch that man” from that same live, in the minute 1:39 🤣🤣
You wear sports underwear with that outfit, to answer your question. He did not wear normal underwear exaclty to avoid unwanted incidents. There are videos on the internet from the changing room and you can see the underwear. You don't find it offensive because he moves like a professional dancer, so he is never indecent.

Nothing slipped, nothing broke, and they were preserved to this day in perfect condition. Bowie spent a lot of money hiring Kansai Yamamoto to desigh his costumes.
He was very influenced by Japanese outfits.
No, there where a lot of chemicals.
I have tried and tried and tried.
I just can not like older David Bowie music.
Hahaha 😂
Some kind of subconscious mental block maybe?
