Thanks for the Zig reminder, I think I know what I'll be watching tonight.

if anyone cared, i figured that you might.

looking at the clock, it's now probably close to 32 years to the hour even.

good call. i wonder how many other Bowie fans will watch ZIGGY STARDUST THE MOTION PICTURE today.

After all this time, it just now occurred to me that the date was 7-3-73

how could you not know this? ;-)

i just finished watching the film, which i started before midnight. i watched it with the commentary by Pennebaker and Visconti, which is kinda boring yet insightful at the same time. they share some nice anecdotes, right down to the rolling of the credits.

I watched it with the commentary as well! Ha.

how crazy is that? it was interesting to hear Visconti admit how much overdubbing/studio gimmickry went into the soundtrack. lots of backing vocals, keyboards, and guitars were rerecorded in the studio. i always wished the extra musicians on stage had more of a visual presence. you only see glimpses of Mike Garson towards the end, and the others during All The Young Dudes.

ever notice the lack of backing vocals on the DVD versus the CD?
