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.

Jimi Plays Monterey
(1987)
It's no exaggeration to say this might be the most intense and groundbreaking 45-minute performance in the history of rock.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
An excellent example of its genre, with Pennebaker capturing the excitement of what was a very special, emotion-charged occasion.

fresh:
Pennebaker doesn't break any ground here, in what is essentially a linear concert film. But he doesn't need to. Bowie's brilliant -- and, by today's stadium-size standards, intimate -- performance does that for him.
– Jonathan Perry,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
A colorful snapshot of an early chapter in the story of an accomplished performer.
– Gary Dowell,

rotten:
The concert remains more of an historical curiosity than a must-see rock film.
– Liam Lacey,

fresh:
Freed of the unflattering contemporary distractions offered by This Is Spinal Tap, Pennebaker's Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars captures Bowie at perhaps his purest, punkiest rock 'n' roll peak.
