5.0 out of 5 stars A peek back in time Jun 18 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I think you're missing the point if you view this as a "concert" film. This movie is a time capsule; it is a relic from the past. It's a train wreck that you just can't stop looking at. David Bowie is unearthly...he seems to glow from within and I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He could be so ugly and threatening and then so unbelievable humane, transitioning from song to song. He was so compelling at this stage in his career as this junkie-that-fell-to-Earth with the fantastic songs. What happened? Is it the same thing that happens to all of us as we age and accumulate responsibilities? We used to think nothing of this epic, beautiful oddness but now it looks somewhat pathetic and it makes me a little bit sad. This movie captured a fragile moment in time and I am so glad that it's here to share with the upcoming generation of music and culture students. I hope they can appreciate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars CLASSIC May 1 2003
By Paco Rivero
Format:DVD
Some reviewers here have complained that this (the DVD version) looks and sounds like trash. But since I like Bowie I bought it anyhow, expecting something no better than a bootleg. Well, I've seen plenty of bootlegs and this is nowhere near that poor. In fact, it's AMAZING. Yes, the sound quality isn't the best, but it's perfectly listenable. And, yes, the camerawork is a bit spasmodic and grainy, but that only adds to the gritty mood. Glam rock is SUPPOSED to be a bit trashy. If you want sleek, overproduced Bowie, then look elsewhere. But if you want Bowie at his best, then you can't miss this one. Watching this concert film you enter a ZONE and don't leave it till the end. This is Bowie at his best. Every now and then, Bowie flashes a killer smile, and that's because he knows he's onto something good. The music is some of the best rock ever recorded. The atmosphere is electric. Throughout the concert, Bowie is in THE ZONE, the audience is in THE ZONE -- and, if you don't expect polished concert footage, you will be, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hang on to Yourself Oct 14 2009
By rockfan
Format:DVD
The absolute best thing about this DVD is that it EXISTS! We get the pleasure of being able to look in on an amazing concert from one of THE masters of rock n roll period. The Spiders never looked or played better, lovely mistakes and all. This concert is accurate and real and brings the period back to life.. what more could you ever want?

Yes, the filming is not perfect, but it doesn't stop me from having a Great time watching it. The audio is fine if you put it through any type of decent sound system. It's pretty rockin in my opinion. I am very happy to have the chance to see this concert at all .. I am so glad that DA filmed and published this.
Highly Recommended for Rock and Roll fans, essential for Bowie lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for the improvement over my laserdisc
First of all, the film source they had to work with wasn't that good, so my expectations were guarded. My old laserdisc showed a great performance with horrible audio and video. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty hilarious actually
When this stuff was current, Bowie was the hottest, the coolest, the glam-est. Now it looks so dated, you laugh in an affectionate sort of way. Read more
