For Extreme David Bowie Fans Only! - Suffragette City

Please, no bad comments on this one.
This is for the real desperate Bowie folks!
This black and white, poor quality footage has been floating around for years. Presumable from Glasgow in early 1972, my sources and I think it's from the USA in '72, because of the jacket he's wearing. What do you think?

Hi Bri2kay, good work done here mate, this footage came from me to DC and then to you, good syncing mate, looks fab!!!! I do think this is probally US footage and not Glasgow as I have been led t beleive??!!

[bri2kay]

Thanks, man! I haven't seen this footage in ages! It was nice to see it again. I have a source that is pretty expert at Bowie stuff, and he says:

"I think it's US 72 judging by the white boots, jacket and shiny pants... Plus it looks like he's using the Sennhiser 441 mic that Mic was only on the US Mick Rock photos, never in the UK."

[ZiggysChannel]

Looking at the costumes and the mic, I think we can safely say it's definately from the US '72. There must be someone out there with a colour copy of this?!

[bri2kay]

When I saw this the first time on actual film, it was black and white then. Who knows! I'd love to see a clean version if there was one...

this is actually a clip from the society of paranormal occurences' documentary entitled "ghosts in the guitar". filmed at the edinboro castle in 2002. it is believed that this is the actual ghost of ziggy stardust, a 1960's rocker who was immortalized in music (rock and roll suicide) by 70's superstar david bowie.

I'm afraid you didn't realise that David's left shoelace is losse which - as well all know - only happened twice during the Aladdin Sane Tour: Earls Court, soon after Queen Bitch, and in Glasgow during Suffragette City: So that's where this bit comes from! Believe me!

The sound quality is actually a lot better than I'd expected.
