David Bowie will release a live album, ‘David Bowie, Live Santa Monica ’72’ on June 30 on CD and double vinyl.
The album is a recording from Bowie‘s gig at the Los Angeles Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 20, 1972. The gig was part of Bowie‘s ‘Ziggy Stardust’ US tour.
In a statement to NME.COM, Bowie said of the recording: "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."
