David Bowie Performance of Ziggy Stardust at Hammersmith Odeon
In July 1973, David Bowie delivered a legendary performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, capturing the essence of his alter ego, Ziggy Stardust. This live recording came just after his iconic album 'Aladdin Sane' released earlier that year, which was a crucial moment in Bowie's career, showcasing his eclectic style and artistic evolution. Interestingly, this concert is often cited as the farewell for Ziggy Stardust, marking a transformative point where Bowie stepped away from the persona that had propelled him to stardom. The show featured hits like 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide' and 'Suffragette City,' and famously ended with Bowie announcing, 'Not only is this the last show of the tour, but it's the last show that we'll ever do.' This poignant statement resonated deeply with fans, symbolizing a shift in Bowie's artistic journey.
