‘Moonage Daydream’ From Bowie’s Final Ziggy Performance 4K Upgrade Shared: Watch
A new 4k upgrade of David Bowie performing Moonage Daydream in his final performance as Ziggy Stardust has been shared. Watch below.
David Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust, his most famous alter-ego, in front of 5000 stunned fans at London’s Hammersmith Odeon on 3 July 1973.
Now, the fully restored film and soundtrack will be released for the first time for the 50th anniversary of the show. Renowned filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, Bob Dylan – Don’t Look Back, Depeche Mode – 101) captured the momentous event by filming David Bowie and The Spiders From Mars backstage and onstage. The digital restoration of the new version of the film has been overseen by his son, Frazer Pennebaker with remastered audio.
