David Bowie - Live Performance of Suffragette City at Hammersmith Odeon
Venue: Hammersmith Odeon
Location: London, England, United Kingdom
Date: July 3, 1973
In July 1973, David Bowie delivered an electrifying performance of 'Suffragette City' at Hammersmith Odeon in London, marking the farewell of his iconic Ziggy Stardust persona. This live recording came just after the release of the 'Aladdin Sane' album, which included hits like 'The Jean Genie' and showcased his evolving sound that blended glam rock with avant-garde sensibilities. Interestingly, the concert served as a pivotal moment in Bowie's career; he famously announced, 'Not only is this the last show of the tour, but it's the last show we'll ever do with Ziggy Stardust.' This adds a layer of emotional weight to the already charged atmosphere, as fans witnessed the conclusion of an era that profoundly impacted the music landscape.
