is that kurt cobain's evil (bizarro world) twin in the audience?

[RockinRobin411]

I remember seeing this on a documentary about fifteen or sixteen years ago when I was five. Actually, it was about ten years ago when I remember seeing this clip and getting into David Bowie. But the documentary was something I had first seen six years before.

[MsJollycholly]

he was the 'nazz'? Did he mean Todd?

[squidarmy]

OH.MY.GOD.

[CultureJudge]

Fantastic sync job. Cheers.

[laportama]

TOO good!

[chapelierfoudre]

Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic footage. Visually and as a musical, it's even much better than the July 1973 Hammersmith film !

I was 14 and went to see the Sheffield gig on the 8th June: Cost me 50p and there were 200 people in a hall that holds 1500.

Completely blew me away. I went from listening to The Groundhogs to Bowie overnight!

We nicked all the orange 'fliers' from the empty seats, a pic of each band member in each quarter, and handed them around the comp the next day. The majority wanted to know who the 'bloody weird puff' was...3 months later most had changed their tune.

I wish I was there! But i wasn't born.

[dazzag24]

That brings back soooooo many memories. I was 14 and went to the Sheffield gig on that tour: 7th June 1972: Cost me 50p...only 200 people in a hall that hold 1500. Was completely blown away and went from listening to The Groundhogs to Bowie over night....still sends tingles down my spine seeing it.

@dazzag24 I was living in NYC in 1972. A local DJ announced Bowie was leaving the next day for Britain from a pier,and anyone was welcome to see him off. There were only about 10 of us that showed up. I couldn't believe it. We were able to chat with him. He was so gracious and friendly. I guess it was before he really hit it big.

and..it's my mate jumping up and down with the rolled-up poster at 1:39!!!

[SiggiLyrica]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for this!

[mgsherry]

the venue he played in for this performance was demolished and is now an asda that i worked at. real shame

[fadu]

My favorite song ever :)

[DBCrowns]

I think that is Mick Rock in the audience.

[samurai2002]

Where?

[DBCrowns]

0:6-0:09

[epimetero]

one of the best riffs ever...the best era ever.

[blackpoolrok]

Mesmerised me when I was 10 years old - stil captivates me. I love him!

[CherryLaxative]

This is an amazing clip. He looks so happy. He's really into it. I was watching the whole thing with a little smile on my face - his enthusiasm rubs off on you!

And the audio synced up really well for it not being from that performance.

[sexpistol1979]

it wansnt from that performance? you sure..

[CherryLaxative]

Uh... yeah. Read the video description. It says so right there.

[sexpistol1979]

it dosent nessacerilly say so, 'Silent film synced to same year audio' i think this audio does belong with this clip and willdo unless bri2kay says otherwise.

[Izzierocks]

Some of the kids here look disturbingly bored, eating peanuts ect...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM!

I'm flipping mesmerised!

Wish I was there, man...

Thanks for this :D

[Manwithcam]

I SUSPECT the audience footage isn't even from this performance, but was included for the sake of syncing the audio to the video of Bowie.

[JJackAL52]

The best 'early'Ziggy concert fotage I have seen apart from the motion picture, which was their last show. I like this one because he is more animated. I didn't get into Bowie's music till '73 so I missed his 1st USA tour (a great regret) and didn't see him till the Diamond Dogs tour in 1974.

[Vinca66]

Infinite love at the first sight with my splendid Ziggy, with my all divine Bowie....

[Margaritte]

Man, could he wrap the audience around his finger.

After about half time of this video I realised I have a huge smile on my face. You can't help it!

[bowiebimbo]

ZIGGY!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

He's got the cutest dimples! ^_^

Thank you so much for this:D

[Kadajgirl020]

This is soo cool. I'm 20 years old and I love this song and the alter ego!

[SebastianDeSoir]

wonderful. Brilliant. Magnificent. A Masterpiece. Alien. Icon. Sex. Drugs. Star. Makeup. Glitter. An actor, I love him.

[Ruberneck]

this just might be the best video on youtube!!! wickeeed...

[bri2kay]

Thanks man... lol. Wouldn't it be nice to have this whole show, without interruptions, and the REAL audio? Wonder who we bug about that? - Bri

[ziggy95]

Without a doubt the BEST ever, for me a Bowie fan of too many years that I care to mention, it is fantastic to see these early videos of the birth of Ziggy

[atleje]

Boy, I would love to see the whole show....

[racyweb]

YES Fantastique indeed!!

[Vinca66]

Je n'avais jamais vu ceci ! Fantastique !

Oh Bowie !  Oh Ziggy ! .....Magnifique !

[xLittlexPineapplexHi]

[captainevita]

[davidcantello]

Sob, sob, sob! "He's smashing!" Sob, sob sob!

[TRAFOZS]

TRAFOZS

[bri2kay]

Do you like the little bit of The Supermen at the end?

"I kissed his hand!"

[TRAFOZS]

Yeah, I did !

Girl "Aw, don't worry... I kissed his hand ! "

Reporter "He's got skinny little legs "

Girl " He's got lovely legs ! "

[bri2kay]

There's about a 15 second clip of The Supermen...should I put it up as an extra?
