Product Description

CD Description

Captured in the height of his Ziggy Stardust period, this pristine live document shows David Bowie at the peak of his creative powers performing such hits as 'Life On Mars', 'Changes' and 'Suffragette City'. Despite being recorded during on of his most creative phases, Bowie found the time to include a version of a song penned by Jacques Brel ('My Death'), the French music hall legend to whom Bowie's emotive and theatrical performance style owed a great deal. Bootlegged manytimes, 'Live In Santa Monica 1972' is the first official release of this legendary performance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware, this is an edited release!, 1 Jul 2008

By	Stephen Lloyd (Bradford, West Yorkshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First off this is truly a superb gig. The track listing is faultless and the performances, though beautifully flawed at times, are blistering. It is a far superior document of the Ziggy period Bowie to the 73' retirement gig at the Hammersmith Odeon.

I already own the 94' official release of this concert on the mainman `golden years' label. I bought this new EMI edition because I had read somewhere that Bowie had remastered the recording himself. He hasn't! Listening to it I cannot really detect any significant differences in sonic quality from the 94' release.

What is shockingly obvious however is the absence of big chunks and small snippets of Bowie's playingly camp dialogue with his audience throughout. Where's his "painter from New York" impression of Warhol for example or his "give me a pair of pliers.... or a strong hand". I'm absolutely gutted that this historical artefact has been hacked in this way. These edits are unnecessary and unforgivable in my opinion and I'm sure that I like many others will consequently always consider this release inferior to the earlier one because of them.

On the plus side the disc does come in a nice box with handsome RCA period memorabilia. 3 stars worth in fact. Also I'm hoping, because he sanctioned this release, that the Dame may give the nod for more official bootleg releases in the future. A little something from the `station to station' tour perhaps? Just don't rip chunks out of them please!

Buy this only if you can't get hold of the mainman release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Bowie fans!, 27 May 2008

By	i wrote this "i did" (Bucks) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This isn't the first time that this classic bootleg of a radio broadcast has been released on CD. But new Bowie fans should stick this in their basket straight away as it's a great set list and much better then the 'Ziggy Stardust motion picture sound track', even with that album's recent remastering. The high light of the show is the acoustic section which features brilliant versions of Andy Warhol and Space Oddity.
If all you've got is a Bowie 'greatest hits' or maybe the Ziggy studio album, this makes a great companion piece and good introduction to some of this other early 70's work.
It's worth the cash for Mick Ronsons guitar solos on 'width of a circle' alone!

5.0 out of 5 stars At Long Last.........., 20 Jun 2008

By	S. W. Ladd - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is Bowie and the Spiders at their absolute peak of creativity. Various inferior bootlegs have been circulating for 30+ years and I'm surprised it took so long for EMI, or any other major label come to that, to release this pure gem of rock'n'roll history. This isn't so much a music recording as an historical document of a time when pop music came of age and entered a new dimension - territory that many would later seek to explore and indeed exploit but a territory that Bowie, Ronson et al had already discovered and moved on from.
Make no mistake. This is a work of major significance that should not be passed over. ESSENTIAL.
