Customer Reviews of Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture DVD

Ziggy played guitar...
While this DVD was obviously filmed in the early 1970s with the picture quality to match at times, the genius of David Bowie shines through. As adults too young to remember or have seen Ziggy Stardust, it was an amazing look at the time period. The sound quality is suprisingly good, although some camera angles are distracting at times. It was also neat to hear Bowie's pronouncement of "This is our last tour ever." Little did he know... This DVD is worth every penny. Rock on.

Its about the music, and not the filming itself
The film it self is interesting and not very well done to normal standards, but who said David Bowie was normal anyways. He is quite odd and his music is a breakthrough in rock and roll music, because he has his own unique style that inspired many, including Roxy Music, Talking Heads, Alice Cooper, Elton John, Nine Inch Nails and even Marylin Manson and much more. This live concert is pure rock and roll and it rocks the house all night long, I was more in it for the music after I knew what I was in for. Its also great for background music while doing other things, like any other live concert video is for, because even I can't sit there watching the crowd flicker for over an hour like watching a good movie, so I just sit back and enjoy the music, because thats what its all about, the music! David Bowie rocks live and the Spiders were spectacular. This was their last performance together and it is very moving to watch the end and the crowds reaction when he says this is their last show. Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars might have left, but Bowie still remains till this day. Great concert dvd from a even more great artist!! <

>Also check out Song Remains the Same(Zeppelin), Live at Pompeii(Floyd), Pulse(Floyd) and Gimmee Shelter(Rolling Stones), and basically any other live concert by bands you love, because its awesome seeing them perform live, seeing them in action in front of thousands. In the words of Neil Young, Hey hey my my, rock and roll will never die!

Ziggy stardust & the DVD from the rubbish bin
I borrowed this DVD from my local library, I was taken a back with the quality of this DVD, it looks like a crap video that is a shambles, The audio is reasonable in 5.1 plus the Doco is just ok, but the concert must be the worst vision I have seen on a DVD, How can David Bowie be happy with this visual display of inferior quality?, I get cheesed off with having good AV gear to have to run this type of crap, and that's what it is, CRAP!! I have videos that come up 100% better, Why produce DVDs that dont qualify for this technology? it"s not the first and it won't be the last, DVD producers please don't bother putting visual crap out on DVD, your transfers are unworthy of modern technology, if the Masters don't scrub up for transfer forget it, although a lot of people cant see any difference, so be it. <
