GREAT LIVE CD!!! - By: andrew david hobden, 21 Jul 2010 
bought this because i had never heard a live ziggy show before(i'm 24 so it is way before my time) & although this Cd was released before(in 1994 under the 'mainman' label) the previous issue had an ugly cover & the sound wasn't that good. this version however is FANTASTIC, the sound still isn't perfect but is pretty close! the concert is so damn good you don't want it to end! if you do not have this Cd then GET IT NOW!!! you will NOT be disappointed! nice cover too!
Censored Ziggy... - By: Milt Ingarfield, 04 Feb 2010 Before this live recording came out officiallyin October 2008 on the EMI label it was one of the most sought after vinyl bootlegs, of this F.M. broadcast from the 20th of October 1972 at the civic auditoriumin Santa Monica U.S.A.
The bootleg was a double album & had a photocopied cover (oh why did I sell mine?).
There is also a semi-bootleg issuedin 1994 on the Mainman label the number is Golden Years GY002 & has a colour cover owned by Bowie's ex-manager Tony DeFries.
The 1994 semi-bootleg lasted 76 minutes 40 seconds & for some strange reason Bowie has edited this version of the show to 74 minutes 22 seconds as he is believed to supervise all his EMI re-issues they have taken out most of the interaction between Bowie & the Audience, so I have taken off one star.
This show trashes the "Ziggy Stardust motion picture"in terms of musicality but notin terms of historical significance, as that was the last show Bowie played the Ziggy Character.
Can we please have the complete show & not this censored version, Ziggy deserves better.
Where was that all those years?! - By: N. Lazaridis, 14 Dec 2009 
(asked the no-bootleg man...).
Being a long-life Bowie fan, I tend to purchase all his new releases. As soon as this came out, I grabbed it. My, oh my - this is a tremendous Ziggy live performance that makes the original Ziggy Stardust live sound like a rehearsal! I simply couldn't believe my ears.
Admittedly, the sound quality is not top. But it still is perfectly audible - don't think for a moment that it will spoil the experience.
The band is at its absolute absolute top. Ronson's guitar playing is sublime, Mick Woodmansey's drumming is insane & Bowie sings his heart out. And the true bonus: on stage, Mike Garson is playing the piano!
I get the feeling the band were quite enjoying this performance, it's got a lot of spark that I at least hadn't heard before.
True gem, worth every penny.
Buy this.....now - By: Mr. L. Taylor, 25 Nov 2009 Although I do not own this version I purchased it many years ago at a record fairin Manchester.The recording shows a man at the top of his game.Its an outstanding performance with a great set list. Waiting for the Man shines out as a classic track amongst many others. Recommended
