This legendary 1973 concert concludes a double bill of films starring David Bowie
At the end of a successful world tour.
David Bowie - then adopting the flamboyant and exotic persona of Ziggy Stardust- announced his retirement from the stage. This final concert at London's Hammersmith Odeon was filmed by director DA Pennebaker , famous for such sixties rock documentaries as Don't Look Back, which chronicled Bob Dylan 's concert tour, and MontereyPop, the film of the legendary 1967 rock festival.
The 17 songs performed here, taken from Bowie's early seventies albums, include Ziggy Stardust , Oh! You Pretty
Things, Changes, Time, Suffragette City and Rock'n' Roll Suicide. Onstage
Bowie is backed by his band at the time, the Spiders from Mars -the late Mick Ronson (guitar), Mick Woodmansey (drums) and Trevor Bolder (bass).
