Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

“The historic farewell performance of the king of glitter rock.”

Directed by D. A. Pennebaker

Hammersmith Odeon, London, July 3, 1973. British singer David Bowie performs his alter ego Ziggy Stardust for the very last time. A decadent show, a hallucinogenic collage of kitsch, pop irony and flamboyant excess: a musical symbiosis of feminine passion and masculine dominance that defines Bowie's art and the glam rock genre.
