“Of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest, because not only is it the last show of the tour, but it's the last show that we'll ever do” ~ David Bowie, 1973

“A truly great star knows not only how to make a grand entrance, but a grand exit.” ~ Charles Shaar Murray 2023

David Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust, his most famous alter ego, in front of 5 000 stunned fans at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. Now, the fully restored film and soundtrack will be released for the 1st time for the 50th anniversary of the show. Renowned filmmaker DA Pennebaker captured the momentous event by filming 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.

Although filmed 50 years ago, the film was not widely seen for over a decade. However, the film and its soundtrack have been newly remastered with the medley of "The Jean Genie/Love Me Do" and "Round And Round", featuring the late legendary Jeff Beck, reinstated, the latter track making its very 1st appearance anywhere. Both performances were newly mixed by long time Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti.

The show featured Bowie’s famous speech just before the final encore, "Rock'N'Roll Suicide", where he revealed that he was retiring the Ziggy Stardust persona. The shocking announcement came as a surprise to all in attendance, including members of his band and was the 1st proclamation of its kind in rock'n'roll.
