When Bowie played Worcester: (Worcester England, that is,
not Worcester Massachusetts.)
On Monday 4th June 1973, David Bowie in his
persona of Ziggy Stardust, and the Spiders from Mars, alias guitarist Mick Ronson
and his group, performed a brilliant concert at the Gaumont Theatre, Worcester,
as part of their UK tour.
Remarkably, someone made an illicit sound recording of the
Worcester concert which has found its way to YouTube.
This recording, scratchy though it is, is nevertheless
fascinating for those of us who were there that night.
The final performance of his character at the Hammersmith
Odeon a month later resulted in the film Ziggy
Stardust and the Spiders from Mars:
The Motion Picture.
Better hang on to yourself.
