Interview from 1973
***NOTE: PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION!!*** Part 2 - David performs "Ziggy Stardust" (my personal favorite performance of the entire concert) and "Watch that Man." Ladies, "watch" for the part where he flashes the audience. The other parts will be uploaded soon! ***No copyright infringement intended. All rights reserved.

***NOTE: PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION!!*** A little treat for y'all...I'll be uploading "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - The Motion Picture" in its entirety. I hope you guys enjoy it! Part 1 - July 3, 1973 (ironically enough, this concert will be 36 yrs. old soon, and I'll be 28...July 3rd is my birthday, but I was born 8 yrs. after this concert took place) at the Hammersmith Odeon, Mr. Bowie prepares to take the stage as Ziggy Stardust one last time (to everyone's surprise). We see the fans standing outside waiting for the concert to begin, and we even see David's ex, Angie, make a surprise visit (Boo!). In this clip, the band performs "Hang On to Yourself." ***No copyright infringment intended. All rights reserved. This video is for entertainment purposes only.***
From the album The Lift Aquatic: Studio Sessions. A cover of the David Bowie song. Seu Jorge just covers this song with a folk sound on the seaside.
Oh Oooh yeah Ah Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with weird and gilly And the spiders from mars. he played it left hand But made it too far Became the special man, then we were ziggy's band Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo Like some cat from japan, he could lick 'em by smiling He could leave 'em to hang They came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan. So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls Just the beer light to guide us, So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands? Oh Ooh oh Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo The kids were just crass, he was the nazz With god given ass He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar Making love with his ego ziggy sucked up into his mind Like a leper messiah When the kids had killed the man i had to break up the band. Oh yeah Ooooooo Ziggy played guitaarrrrrr
I try to sound exactly like Bowie. Live vocal, instruments recorded to a tempo map from the original version, in preparation for an upcoming live project. (Has nothing to do with my satire comedies.)

Be sure to watch in hi quality! / 2002 Paris Olympia. Always sounds refreshing. Cool ending of this fascinating show.
This is the rare demo version of this song. It remained unreleased until one company briefly released it on a certain 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust' CD, that is now OOP I believe. Anyway I dig this track with just David singing and playing acoustic guitar. Watch in High Quality: www.youtube.com

Bauhaus were an English rock band formed in Northampton in 1978. The group consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar), Kevin Haskins (drums) and David J (bass). The band originally went by the name Bauhaus 1919, dropping the latter portion within a year of their formation. With their dark, gloomy sound and image, Bauhaus are generally considered the first gothic rock group. Bauhaus first broke up in 1983. Peter Murphy began a solo career while the other members continued as Tones on Tail and, later, Love and Rockets. Both enjoyed greater commercial success in the United States than Bauhaus had, but disappeared from the charts in their homeland. The band reunited for a 1998 tour and on a more permanent basis in 2005. The group announced plans to disband again before the release of their final album, Go Away White (2008). HISTORY of Bauhaus David J. Haskins, his younger brother Kevin Haskins and their friend Daniel Ash had played together in various bands since childhood, often not lasting more than one gig. One of the more long-lived of these was a band called The Craze, which did a few gigs around Northampton. The band soon split however and Ash once again tried to convince his old school friend Peter Murphy to join him, simply because Ash thought he had the right look for a band.

Right off the vynil rip of RLYL. Lryics: Well you keep coming up to me, You keep saying that it's up to me. You ain't nothing but a true embrace. You ain't nothing but a hidden face. And you're looking fair enough to me. You just see what you want to see. I want to know if you really care, I want to take you way down there, And stand in the rain and get you wet. You say you love me but not quite yet. I want to go out there to an open space. Those tears to cry and show your face. Oh I'm so soaked to the skin, Yeah I'm so soaked to the skin. You want to talk about the weather. Saturation is a point. There's nothing left you know, Nowhere left for me to hide. Nothing left but still alive. To face it all and here today. There's nothing left in you and me, And I can't show you this inside, If all you want to do is hide. I want to take you out and get you wet. You say you love me but not quite yet. I want to go out there to a sheltered place. Those tears to cry and show your face. Oh I'm so soaked to the skin, Yeah I'm so soaked to the skin, You want to talk about the weather. Sheltered from tomorrow, As though it may never come. You hide behind a wall of stone, And then you fell you're not alone. So face it all it's here today. You love me in your sheltered way. And I can't hold you in my hands, And talk about these hidden charms. I want to take them... You want to talk about the weather. Oh I'm so soaked to the skin, Yeah I'm so soaked to the skin, You want to talk about the ...
Montage of various stunning David Bowie photos, and footage, taken/shot between 1972-74, documenting the enigma of the slightly insane, adrogynous character Ziggy Stardust. Set to a forgotten gem, arguably Bowie's most beautiful song 'Lady Grinning Soul' - the final track on the 'Aladdin Sane' album (1973). Just as much as this song reflects Bowie's cited inspiration (that of American Soul Singer Claudia Lennear), certainly in my opinion this song is just as much about Ziggy, him (or indeed her) self. 'She'll come, she'll go, she'll lay belief on you...'
