As we continue our journey through Ziggy, we will be continuing with the album cuts. I'm gonna go back and listen to the first track as well as we did the live version last week. WOW. Moonage Daydream. What a fucking track, man. They were on fire there. Soul Love was fun too, but damn, Moonage is amazing.

Moonage Daydream was almost like an anthem for a lot of us back then. It's hard to describe just how much it meant and how much we liked it and how cool it seemed. And so melodic, and fun to sing along with. On the first one, I don't know if you noticed but much of it was in a slow 7/4 meter. It wasn't uncommon for him to be sneaking progressive stuff in. I love these two as a combination though, because the first one keeps it slightly looser and more organic and then it goes from that oddball meter to a straight 4 with a heavy punch to start it off, and suddenly you're catapulted into this other world.

Ziggy Stardust is one of the most satisfying records of all time. Not one skippable track imo. They're not his best songs, but as a full album it just makes you smile & helps to escape reality for a bit. Moonage Daydream always puts me in some type of trance that guitar is just beautiful. You should definitely check the live version out from the Ziggy Concert film. Can't wait to see what you think about the rest of the album 😊

DB is one of my all time favorite artists and this LP is one of his greatest achievements. I remember when it was first released. We were all blown away by the concept and non of us had ever heard anything like it. I’ve seen DB in concert over 20 times including his first show in New York City where he featured this album. He used the example he learned from The Beatles which was to never repeat himself. They didn’t call him The White Duke for nothing. RIP maestro. 🕊❤️🎼

At some point, you need to watch the live Ziggy Concert Film. This concert has an amazing version of "Moonage Daydream", which really capturing the crazy energy shared between Bowie, his Audience, Mick Ronson and "The Spiders from Mars". Also the film has an amazing version of title song "Ziggy Stardust". And the closing performance of "Rock & Roll Suicide" captures the moment when Bowie announced to the World that he would no longer be performing Ziggy after this show. This was a shocking surprise announcement to his Band, who expected to continue touring "Ziggy" for years to come!

Yes, amazing film - also the incredible version of The Width of a Ciircle, to me one of the peaks of the entire show, poetic and vertiginous, sexy and surreal, all in one! Once again, the contribution of the entire band on that one (above all, Ronson) is killer stuff.

@jraben1065 Ай бұрын

@@louise_rose Hi Louise, L33 already did a reaction to the Live "Width Of A Circle". I love the "musical fight" between Mick and the Bass Player. I felt the fight suggested growing tensions among the aliens in "The Spider From Mars", particularly whenever Ziggy wasn't there to keep an eye on them. For L33, I think the "Width" performance was a bit out of context at the time. Now the Reaction Group is a bit further into the Ziggy experience, and these LIVE performances will mean more. It's fun to re-explore this great music with new people who care!

@louise_rose Ай бұрын

@@jraben1065 Thanks, I didn't know he had already covered the live Width Of...Haven't had time to follow the channel that closely lately. Yes, it's one of the points where they really cut loose into open improvisation (Ronno's glorious solo earlier in the song too) but it works brilliantly. Thank god that they asked Pennebaker to "film a few tracks" and that he realized, on watching the first night gig, that "there was an entire film here crying out to be made". At the time it was VERY unusual to film an entire full-length gig with a rock band for cinema release. "Pink Floyd at Pompeii" wasn't filmed in front of an audience, it's more of a concert event than a real touring concert.

@jraben1065 Ай бұрын

@@louise_rose I didn't know it was originally going to be a few songs only. We are very lucky that Pennebaker existed. His first film was a doc about Dylan's tour in England, called "Don't Look Back", with a lot of great interactions and behind the scenes stuff. But there was no precedent for a "concert film", and most of Dylan's performances were limited to portions of each song. With Ziggy, Pennebaker showed complete performances with multi-camera, but also priceless glimpses of Bowie backstage, and the manic audience reactions too. Amazing!

That's Bowie himself playing saxophone on Soul Love, it was an instrument he learnt early on and he's always had a penchant for it. He did a cover of Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" in the eighties, where he'a also offering a nice rendition of the sax lines. I really like Soul Love, this gentle, funky r'n'b spng.

Two great songs. "Soul Love" is incredibly underrated, in my opinion. It has a really quirky time signature, amazing lyrics and a sweeeeet saxophone solo. As for "Moonage Daydream", well, what can you say? The solo is the obvious highlight. It truly soars to the outer reaches of the universe, and yet, it never quite hits the highest notes it aims to reach. In a good way. Listening to it feels a bit like "pleasuring yourself" and then stopping when you're getting close. It's both immensely satisfying and extremely frustrating. And you're left with a feeling of "NEXT time we'll get there! Just one more listen!".

Bowie picked up some basic guitar and piano over the years of his time in bands but started out learning saxophone and didn't abandon it from his music. Re-visited it every so often too (ie. the horn-driven sound of Let's Dance LP in 1983). Hunky Dory was a breakthrough artistically the year before but Ziggy broke him through commercially, mainly in the UK where he had only had major success before with "Space Oddity" as a hit single in 1969. He frequently used sax in his records, which should have made it less of a surprise to people when he turned toward a more R&B sound in 1974-75. But some of his fans were turned off by the audial and visual transformation. The "Ziggy" incarnation was his most iconic look. But to me, his best musical incarnation was as the "Thin White Duke" from 1975-77. He may have been rail thin, pale and off his mind on coke for the majority of that period but my god was it amazing :D

Bowie exploited the gender ambiguity spirit of the age although there was nothing organic or spontaneous about it. It was a Tavistock initiative to sow societal chaos at a very fundamental level. But Bowie played it to perfection although by most accounts he was a straight shooter. Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople, who Bowie rescued from obscurity, put it thusly: "David wasn't no fairy!"
