Product: Ziggy Stardust [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
Sounds great - Still Looks The Same
Of course, this is a classic concert and whatever quality it encompasses should be forgiven. But what's to forgive? First, the sound has been remastered and really is a major improvement over the previous film. It really was the "Spiders" last concert and needs to be seen as that, in a historical perspective. The cinematography is, well...less grainy, but the camera is still bouncing quite a bit. You can't have everything! If you are a purist and just cannot stand an imperfect film, then take a pass. Otherwise, this is a great collection of fifteen songs from "Hunky Dory" and "Ziggy Stardust..." (plus some) presented at the height of glam rock when glam rock really mattered. In that respect, not many others than Bowie really did.
