Leslie Cheung about 17 years ago

EMI will release a live recording of David Bowie recorded at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Los Angeles on October 20, 1972 during the first leg of the Ziggy Stardust US tour. Live Santa Monica '72 will be released on June 30 on limited CD and limited numbered 2LP sets.

David Bowie said, "I can tell that I'm totally into being Ziggy by this stage of our touring. It's no longer an act; I am him. This would be around the tenth American show for us and you can hear that we are all pretty high on ourselves. We train wreck a couple of things, I miss some words and sometimes you wouldn't know that pianist Mike Garson was onstage with us but overall I really treasure this bootleg. Mick Ronson is at his blistering best."
