- As far as I know there isn't a complete filmed performance of this song from 1972 but by combining clips from several gigs, (presumably filmed by the great Mick Rock) here is my edit of 'Ode to Joy' / 'Hang On To Yourself'.
The video quality is variable but the scarcity of some of the material makes up for it I think.
The footage mainly comes from performances at the Rainbow Theatre London and Friars Aylesbury 1972.
The audio comes from 'Santa Monica 1972'
Have a look at my channel for other rare Bowie material including more from 1972.
Made for fans, not for profit.
Play it loud and enjoy. - Hudba
Mick Ronson on guitar, Trevor Bolder on bass, and Woody Woodmansly on drums- INCREDIBLE BAND
QUITE A BAND
YES SPYDERS FROM MARS WE ARE.
Spiders !!!
One of the greatest bands EVER
For Woody say Woodmansey, rather than Woodmansly. As far as I know he is the only Spider still extant; unless you also count Tony Visconti in the early days.
Yes indeed, such a tight and funky act!
David Bowie and Mick Ronson what a dynamic duo! Bowie should have never let Mick Ronson Go! He was never better!
1000% Right👍👍
c'mon get over it...
Trevor and Woody were a freakin machine.
So sadly overlooked these days.
Indeed they were. Tt really shows on the live stuff.
who ...
This is one of David Bowie’s personal favourite Bowie Songs .....this is what David said of it back in 2008 ....the only live version of all his songs to make his list ...
Hang On To Yourself (live)
Ziggy and the Spiders had played around 50 UK shows total, and this Santa Monica performance, from October 20, 1972, would be our 12th in America.
Although of only bootleg quality and despite the drums and bass being casually miked, I hope you can feel our real thrill here of presenting the band to a radio audience for the first time. I necessarily took the most centre-stage position as easily as an old ham from Bromley Repertory would, though in reality I was deadly nervous.
This was our first live American radio broadcast, so it was a big deal. We fluffed a lot of stuff that night, but the enthusiasm and pride stand 10ft tall.
One astounding thing about Mainman, my management at the time, is that for the 18 months of the Spiders' life-cycle (and after, actually) they never arranged for us to play anywhere in Europe where Ziggy was a proverbial monster. No tours, no shows, not even Paris.
I never understood that and was pretty miserable about it at the time, but now realise how naive and unprepared my management was for the serious job of actually managing.
Thank you, sir, for presenting that remarkable bit of information. Wow. I was unaware that Bowie and the Spiders never played in Europe proper.
More rare footage please. Only a year later and it was over. Good things don’t last forever.
Inspiration! Thanks, Mister Sussex. Bowie and band were the bomb. I miss him.
The bass is crazy. Bowie is heaven.
I always love it when Bowie punks out, especially live.
Mr Sussex. Hope you're still out there somewhere. 2020 and 2021 would have been unbearable without your videos. This is fantastic
It was not possible to be Ziggy forever. This was the tragedy of David Bowie
Oh yeah, what a failure he became. 😂
Thank you, David!!!...
Agree ... I'm a one man Bowie Band on YT ... it keeps me connected with his brilliance.
I had a flashback to Feb 1972 Radio City Music Hall...seeing him as Ziggy...blew my socks off ...Instant fan of his since I heard 'Space Oddity' back in 1969. I am happy that I got to see him in concert over 35 times ...He never disappointed, he just always amazed...I miss him ...
Loving this adorable and primitive show!!?!thank tou mr Sussex
Mick Ronson is the best and underrated!!! ❤❤❤
That bass line kills.
Bowie was a visionary . Ahead of all the others .
You are bringing Ziggy back to life,sir.......love it....
HE is ALIVE when EVAH WE want !!
Sheer Brilliance, Very Raw love it. Ziggy Plays Guitar
Awesome Thanks for sharing.....❤👨🎤👨🚀
Awesome! such a great song that pre-dates punk.I played The Rainbow in '78 and it was a rush to be on that stage where him and The Spiders had been
Got to see something like this live, when David & band played the Long Beach Arena in Southern California on March 10, 1973. My first (and best) Bowie concert but not my last! Thanks for this video of one of my favorite Bowie tune!
It doesn't get any better than this.
Fantastic!
I was so glad to find this. The best guitar riff EVER!
This is one of the best things I have ever seen...
Thank you very much indeed
Best band he ever had!!
This is first class work indeed !
Thank you kindly !
Dare I ask are you a filmmaker ?
I make a living from shooting and editing video and I've had some stuff broadcast on BBC and Channel 4 - so I guess so...
Well that explains things, its just remarkable what you have captured here
So Amazing.... i dont know how many times i have watched this...great memories of the 70's in England and Bowie the main man, not forgetting the Spiders...what a knock out track
Great Mister Sussex,,,,,,,wonderful job! Ziggy was a proto punk! Regards!
I am going to keep this on repeat for a few days.
Sublime!
Ziggy and the Spiders. They were the perfect ultimate space invaders to play rock.
The Santa Monica 72 show is amazing! The editing is superb! I'm reminded of being at The Music Hall in Boston Massachusetts on October 1 and rushing the stage for the encore being close enough to touch him, thank you for this!
And this is the music I grew up with.... ❤ ziggy was my favorite persona
Absolutely the best Bowie stuff I've seen. Blows my brain.
Bowie at his finest
Fantastic mate, best thing you've done so far IMO.
Thanks Nacho. I hope the best is yet to come : )
Superb Footage, unforgettable ...
Fucking wonderfull.bowie/ziggy at his best x
David my first love! I miss him very much and am thankful for all the video!
He is two years older then my parents. I grew up to listening to this amazing man. He defined a part of the person I became.
god bless them boys..............
Agree ... I'm a one man Bowie Band on YT ... it keeps me connected with his brilliance.

Well. I don't want to start spamming your videos with comments - especially because I do tend to wax lyrical about Bowie!! - but even so, it's hard to stay quiet: and I certainly can't just let *THIS* extraordinary and enlightening piece of work - of which I had been, to my shame, fully unaware! - stand without hoping, at least, that you will read this comment: because it is a *HUGE* thank-you to *YOU,* for making this extremely important, truly amazing footage and music (with all the great effort and hard work which this has involved) available to those of us who have neither the skills nor the resources so to do - before the original material which you have so beautifully created is either lost forever or damaged beyond repair. I am *SO* grateful to you - sincerely. Thank you!!
And I am actually astounded. It's true that I have been off CZcams in any coherent sense for well over a year, and so I have missed your uploads (at the time they were made - not so now, though - I am avidly watching every one!). And yet - ironically, - I am sure that it is only Bowie's death which has rendered *ALL* uploads bearing his name in their title, tags etc. even visible to me, who have often searched for early Bowie material, but found same *VERY* hard to locate. Some - many - understandably mourn for him, the mortal man, and feel that his death was untimely; and yes, of course, after building my life upon his influence and genius for, what, nearly 40 years, I too would - selfishly - have wished him to have lived forever: still, I believe, from studying his final work closely, and comparing it - it is actually remarkably similar, in theme and content, though of course not in delivery nor in terms of age-earned wisdom - with what he was *ALREADY* saying, conveying, and generally expressing, via his very self, in his teens and early 20s, with regard to his understanding (and it was deep indeed - very, very deep) of the nature of Life, Time, death, and indeed mortality vs immortality which he perceived even as little more than a child (to one of my age) - especially in terms of what he foresaw Life bringing forth for himself - both joys and griefs; it is my view, based upon comparing the Bowie we see in *_Lazarus_* with the Bowie we see, for example, here, and in such better-known but still very early works as *_Life on Mars"_** (and, of course, **_*Space Oddity_* - that quintesssentially Bowie work of art) that he, himself, had pretty much had enough, in truth, after such a long and extraordinary life; after all, what had he *NOT* done? - and the genius which he carried, and which shone through via his enormous talent (and so many other great personal attributes, too) is - for all those who are given it, rare as it is - not only as joyous as it appears, in such pieces as this, but also a heavy burden indeed, although those moments (expressed, to a certain extent, via such works as "Rock'n'Roll Suicide", were, I believe, never truly shown to the world in all of their pain, the eternal counterbalance of the vivacious pleasure he also so greatly demonstrated - but what do I know, and indeeed, why don't I just shut up...?! Talking too much: my worst habit! Haha).
Anyway. This *IS* truly amazing. I had thought that I knew Bowie, at least to a decent degree, and including early Bowie - but so much I have yet to discover, it is now apparent - and this is *ALL* thanks to you. A new voyage of discovery, via your own talent and hard work. I can't believe my luck, to be honest! Your skill is very great, very obvious, and very strong; your film-making and editing abilities and finesse are unquestionable and are a great talent in their own right, but what makes *YOUR* work so special, for me at least, is your very obvious understanding of Bowie - the less-than-ordinary but still mortal man *AND* the eternal enigma that he was. That is *SO* rare.
I will sing your praises far and wide - to those who would know the *REAL* Bowie - and, indeed, to those who would see what genuine film artistry truly is (no, not what passes for same, on the so-called "major" CZcams channels; all pre-written filters, Adobe or other software over-reliance, CGI-based predictability and fake perfection, and of course the repeated over-use of glamorous but lazy auto-effects). You *ARE* a wonderful find; a real (and thus unbeatable) human talent in the increasingly mechanised, automated world of film and music video-making. Thank you *SO* much for all the exceptionally hard work you have put in, and all in the name of us, those who really *DO* want, all the time, to come to know the real, original, pre-commercial Bowie just that little bit better... always. (Not that I blame him for capitalising upon his genius - who does *NOT* want to make a living, after all - and who, with *HIS* level of talent, could bear *NOT* to show it to the world, just for the very sake of sharing it with as many people as possible, as he always did, even to sharing his very death itself with us, that one last chance that he had...?!).
well done! It reminds me of A clockwork orange in first minute or so, then starts to rockin'
...well done.
I love this footage
And The Ode of Joy intro is perfect!
Thank you very much for uploading
that bass!!!
Thank you so so so much ! My sister has for poster from the Odeon ! From his last concert !!!
Great representation of some of the earlier years. Your long hours of work are greatly appreciated.
Sublime edit! Thank you for your great work!
Fabulous! Thank you so much, Mister Sussex!!!
Thank you kindly ronnola
I'm so happy to see some footage from the Rainbow show that I hadn't seen! I'm compiling for a course on Bowie that I plan to teach at my university and the one thing I want the most is the Rainbow concert. Supposedly Sukita filmed the entire show w/ a Japanese film crew and Mick Rock did some filming as well (reportedly). It's killing me that this isn't available, as it's such a pivotal and unique Ziggy performance. Thanks for uploading this, what a joy!! I hope you find more footage! :))
Yes there will be more Rainbow footage...
Stay the King glam rock
That was awesome!!!! ... Thanks and cheers to you for the great clips! .... and yes, I did turn it up!
You're an angel! Thank you!!!
Stunning...I mean, what a band!
Ok, You did it again! I’m currently learning Ode to joy in my guitar class, but it never seemed this interesting! Thanks Mr. Sussex!
omg !😍
I Sooo Love this😍
Love these Guys
Forever ❤❤
Ziggy ⚡💋❤
Ronno🎸💋❤
Thanks for this. It was bloody brilliant.
And yes, some Mick Rock footage in there.
Fuck Mick Rock. He’s a grubby, money-hungry hack.
Mick is the spider .......

David forever ⚡

Monsieur DAVID BOWIE
Thank you mate!

This is f*cking amazing!
What I'd give to have actually been there in the crowd....right in front of the stage!!!! x
I was
It’s a mash up of other gigs. I was sitting behind Freddie Mercury and Elton John at the Rainbow. I’m tossing my hair at 0.59.There are some compensations for being old.
thankyou.......excellent!!!
Très jolie !
もし、サンタモニカ1972のライヴ映像が全て残って現存するならば是非観てみたい！
It's nearly as good as my pro shot Springfield 76 film. I'm gonna' show it one day soon too.
love to see your Springfield 76 film,fan stuff is always interesting.
Love this channel, please make a video of Starman live at the Rainbow or at any other concert in 1972!
Stayed tuned....
I was there

Long AWAITED

Pretty fair interpretations, sir. You could sneak in some original material and really roil the historic record . . .
Mick couldn't make it to the gig on the (19th) so these clips can only be from the 20th, don't ask how I know, its a secret !
For a second there I thought you were talking about Ronson. Thanks for the info!
