David Bowie | Suffragette City | The Imperial College of London | 12 February 1972 | Colour Version
Музыка
This video is a new remaster of very early Ziggy and the Spiders footage, shot in London in early 1972.
•
Things were moving fast in the Bowie Universe - the Hunky Dory album had only just been released in mid-December 1971. By then most of the material for the next album, "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars", was already in the can. Three more songs were recorded on the 4th of February 1972, at Trident Studios in London. Suffragette City was one of them. This early live and raw, proto-punk version of Suffragette City was recorded at The Imperial College of London, just a few days later on the 12th of February 1972. It was only the third gig by the soon to be known as Ziggy & the Spiders, and therefore presumably one of the first times - maybe the first time? - that they had played Suffragette City live.
According to a feature on the official Bowie site, the Imperial College gig is considered the first proper Ziggy & the Spiders gig, “After a false start (Aylesbury Jan 29), three non-starters (Lanchester Polytechnic Arts Festival, Coventry, Feb 3 - Cleopatra’s in Derby, Feb 4 - Guild Hall, Southampton, Feb 7), a pub gig (the official start of the tour at the Toby Jug, Tolworth, Surrey, Feb 10) and a debatable (High Wycombe Town Hall, Feb 11), David Bowie’s UK Ziggy Stardust tour got underway properly with the first Ziggy and The Spiders show (though not yet billed as such) in London at The Great Hall in Imperial College, South Kensington on Feb 12, 1972, for a mere 50p admission”.

Musically, one cannot help but notice the big Stooges influence going on. As has been long understood, this is no coincidence:
Iggy & The Stooges
Ziggy & The Spiders

The raw colour version of the original broadcast has been grabbed from the INA website, and given the full Nacho sound and vision treatment. That included speed correction, and restoring Mick Ronson’s guitar at the beginning. Whereas, the intro of the original broadcast clip has a lot of TV station babble - in French - from the French TV segment. Also - as I wrote a few years ago, when I restored the B&W version - as I was already taking the liberty of rewriting history, I decided to also add in Mick Ronson’s first “Hey man!” backing vocal, because in the original, it is almost completely inaudible.
Thanks for watching, hope you dig it!

Bowie always said in interviews he could never get the lyrics to Suffragette City right…and he was right lol😂
Wow! Just fantastic. I’m quite seriously ill at the moment but this has given me immense joy through all the pain. Bowie truly was a force and still remains so to this day. Thanx Nacho👍🏻

I didnt know there was a colour version Thanks!!! All the best from Chile 🇨🇱
I don't think I ever saw this and it appears Bowie was trying to be Rock n Roll,. Still great to see all cleaned up. Thank you Nacho for another great video you helped restored.

I meant RnR instead of his classic original sound. Seems this video was in Feb and he didn't fully appear as Ziggy until June. Is is not as refined as his classic way. peace
Thanks Nacho! I saw him in 1972 in Cleveland and it changed my life forever!

Wow. Wish I got to see him then. Had to wait til '75 and many other shows followed (all in Chicago) :)
That's made my day - your incredible quality and restoration of video's is quite wonderful - thank you for sharing you work
Wow I have never seen this footage before, awesome!
finally a new video, love your content
Dearest Nacho, You truly make life worth living ! Now that our beloved David is no longer with us you have done the wonderful thing of keeping alive one of my favorite parts of being a Bowie fan and that was the element of surprise, something DB did right up to the end. So I must thank you not only for your brilliant work archiving and presenting these seminal moments from Bowie's career but also for the effect these videos have when you post a new clip. They are so exciting to see and always seem to come out of nowhere and no matter what kind of day I'm having they always have a very positive effect on my mood and David is suddenly alive once again and all is well with the world. Thanks again Nacho, You Rock !!🧡✌👁⚡

Thanks for the beautiful comment, Michael. Keep on rocking, my friend XO
Bloody bloody bloody amazing 😍 Thank you so much 🙏👌🏻✌️👍🏻💚
Wonderful. So good. Thank you so much for this.
Incredible. Great work x
As usual, another great job, Nacho! Thanx a lot!!!
I very much dig it! Just another Nacho triumph of love, technology and attention to detail. 😎✌️
Fantastic! Wonderful job again Nacho! Great liner notes too - fully agree on the Stooges influence on this track.
Great way to start my day! I love this channel!
Aw Nacho this is pure gold ! It's similar to what I do myself, filming up n coming bands in small venues, recording it warts 'n' all. I can see the Spiders are in their infancy here, and this makes it all the more special. Thanks again my friend ! ⭐⚡
Dear Nacho--Thank you for making my day yet again. You work so hard for so long and continually blow my mind. Like Bowie, you are an incredible artist. You are also an amazing filmmaker, I've seen your montages. I imagine his family would be proud to see how many fans old and new alike, are made happy by DB because of you. I'm so relieved you are continuing to release these, because so many I've never seen or the quality is horrific. To see a new one out of the blue is like raising Lazarus. He makes me so happy. Thank you again and again and again for all of the joy. ❤

Wham bam, thank you Nacho! (Ma'am) Fantastic to see them having so much fun ❤️🙏
This is incredible. Thank you forever, Nacho.
I just still love you! Thank you for all the shared Footage & Tonnage . 😍
Wow, thank you Nacho! I somehow missed the November 6 notification of your exceptional work on this restoration and I'm so glad I found it just now. I was feeling dreary and somewhat grouchy this afternoon but thanks to you I'm smiling again! 😁💫🌹
So great I can't believe my eyes, great job Nacho, thanks a lot for this !
Primo fab stuff as always! I remember ... someone in the sixth form at my school having been at the Southampton concert that you mention and reporting back that he was blown away, bowie playing an acoustic through an a/c 30 amp miked to the pa yet transcending the setup with the power of his material (he was impressed!). All that I knew then was Space Oddity ... of course Ziggy changed all that!✌🌠
Simply fantastic! ❤
Amazing stuff. Don't know how you do it but keep doing it. Thank you.
Ziggy ❤
Thank you, Nacho! This is so special
Another gem to add to the collection. Cheers, Nacho!🌟👏👏💜👏👏🌟
Great stuff as always Nacho 👍❤️
Excellent as usual. Many thanks.
Thank You Nacho! Sounds like a proper punk show)
Brilliant work, as a photographer who has been lucky enough to have photographed Bowie back in ‘83 this puts me realistically (in my head) of being side stage live another 10 years earlier! Fantastic editing (I’ve been there on the old punch in punch out machines lol) too! Cheers

WOW
Wham, bam, thank you Nacho!
wonderful to see this rendition, in front of a bunch of drunk students no doubt, who cares if a few lines got fluffed. thanks for sharing Nacho, bringing more Bowie history to our screens.
So glad you like the same music as me..the Bunnymen, early James, Happy Mondays New Order/JD and of course Bowie. This is so raw and powerful. Pre-Punk!
The time David stole Ric Flairs boots. Nice work Nacho!
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ah, you found it - excellent!
Nacho... Those posts make me believe that the amount of content with Bowie is just... infinite. Thank you.
Blessings on you and yours
Well done, Nacho. And thanks.

NACHO YOUR THE MAIN MAN 👌
Beautiful work, Nacho. Bowie really made a bad habit of screwing up lyrics when he sung live. No wonder he relied on a prompter from 1990 onwards.

Suffragette City was always the song he seemed to mess up! I doubt he ever got the lyrics right. Very funny and cute!
well done nacho baby,,,, xxxxxx
Bowie "borrowed" from various people...and what he did with what he borrowed was far greater than what the people he borrowed from could ever possibly do. (There had to be an easier way to say that!)
Nacho is killing me....

What really catches my attention is that they were a complete glam band. All the members of the Spiders had glamorous aesthetics. I say that it catches my attention because this fact did not start as a musical movement of several acts until the middle of the year, although many emphasize T. Rex, they really were not a complete glam band, but rather Bolan was the only member with that image, that's why no more glam bands emerged on the British scene in 1971, but rather they did so in the middle of '72, when Bowie, Roxy Music and Gary Glitter coincided, the first complete glam bands, then Sweet and other bands that They already had a previous career, they joined the trend. But here we can see something very interesting about Bowie, this is in February 72, it really was the first complete glam band, with all the members looking glamorous.

@OnlyGoodMusic_ they were indeed glamorous... When bowie showed the boys what he wanted them to wear the objected at first, well big men from Hull would😊 Then all done up in glitter and eyeliner the spiders were formed, and how grateful we should be for that.... I agree totally about Mark and T rex...sadly missed...
