Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture is a live album by David Bowie, corresponding to the film of the same name. The music was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 3 July 1973, although the album was not issued by RCA Records until 1983. Prior to that it had existed in bootleg form, notably His Masters Voice – Bowie and the Spiders From Mars' Last Stand.

Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture doesn't have the electric excitement of the Live in Santa Monica '72 boot, and that's the fault of the remix by Mike Moran, Bruce Tergeson, Tony Visconti, and Bowie. Another bootleg, David Bowie with the Spiders from Mars, London, July 3, 1973, is the exact same Ziggy performance, but it comes across better, much better. According to Pimm Jal de la Parra's book David Bowie: The Concert Tapes, the bootleg was issued from the ABC TV 1974 broadcast

Ziggy Stardust: the Motion Picture : ONE MAN UP & THE DOUBLE. Tonight : INTO THE NIGHT & CITY OF GLASS. Never Let Me Down : STREETS OF FIRE & LONG RED HAIR. Tin Machine : DONNIE DARKO & AN AFGHANISTAN PICTURE SHOW: OR HOW I SAVED THE WORLD This recording of David Bowie performing Jacques Brel’s My Death, features on the album ‘Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (The Motion Picture Soundtrack)’. Bowie used My Death as a dramatic way to end the first half of his show. On this performance, he doesn’t get to finish the song.

Band Name David Bowie. Album Name Ziggy Stardust : the Motion Picture Soundtrack. 2. Hang on to Yourself. 4. Watch the Man. 5. Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud. 6. All the Young Dudes. 7. Oh! You Pretty Things.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Aladdin Sane, recorded while Bowie and the Spiders were touring their asses off in an attempt to get America to love them the way England already did, is effectively Ziggy Stardust II, a harder-rocking if less original variation on the hit album. There's a paranoid sci-fi scenario ("Panic in Detroit"), a blues-rock stomp ("The Jean Genie"), a bit of cabaret ("Time"), a blunt sex-and-drugs nightmare ("Cracked Actor").

Ziggy Stardust is a character Bowie created with the help of his then-wife, Angela. The character's name was inspired by the '60s psychobilly musician, Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Bowie performed under the Stardust persona for about a year. This specific song is about Stardust growing too conceited: "Making love with his ego, Ziggy sucked up into his mind. Bowie based the clothes, hair, and makeup of Ziggy Stardust on the Malcom McDowell character in A Clockwork Orange, and on William Burroughs book Wild Boys. Some of the posturing was inspired by Gene Vincent, a rockabilly star who injured his leg in a 1960 car accident that killed Eddie Cochran. When Bowie saw Vincent in concert, he was wearing a leg brace and had to stand with his injured leg behind him; Bowie appropriated this stance, calling it "position number one for the embryonic Ziggy.
