Advantages: A great selection of sound and vision. Disadvantages: Not enough.
...encore...briefly we are treated to David in the changing rooms wearing his red underpants.
THE ENCORE includes WhiteLight/WhiteHeat by Lou Reed from the Velvet Undergrounds plastic exploding inevitable; it's more coherent than the original. Bowie's farewell speech (this is the last tour with the spiders) the stage shows ends with Rock N Roll Suicide. The END CREDITS of the film play out to Pomp & Circumstance.
***MY OPINION***
When I first bought ... ...they are virtually giving DVD machines away. At 1st 90 minutes might seem a lot but the medium allows you to quickly select tracks, tunes, sections you want. The package would make a nice present although a reduced price would be better I think. The box set has not held its value when compared to its trade price on Ebay today.

DVD Description
The quintessential moment in glam-rock history, ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS is David Bowie at his best. This film of the 1973 concert (released 10 years later) documents the hallucinogenic collage of kitsch, Warhol/Pop irony, and flamboyant excess that was the Bowie phenomenon: his trademark synthetic androgyny is a musical symbiosis of feminine passion and masculine dominance that define his funky, gender-bending art and, ultimately, the glam-rock genre as a whole. Early on, the film cuts to elaborate backstage costume changes between sets, highlighting a playlist that includes such classics as "Changes," "Space Oddity," "Time," and "Suffragette City." In this comprehensive document of a seminal peformer in music history, director D.A. Pennebaker captures the enigmatic singer's smoldering brilliance like a Hubble photograph of a supernova; it is essential viewing for Bowie fans and music historians alike.
