Sometimes you don’t need striking imagery
to make a great music video.
You just need David Bowie and the camera of a documentarist like D. A. Pennebaker, who filmed Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture. This scene in particular is one of the best medleys in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.
The only problem when I watch this video is that I always end watching the entire concert again. Gimme your hands!

David Bowie is fucking David Bowie. His latest album is great. If you want to see this legendary concert, the restored version with a new mix by Visconti is here.
This is part of a series in which we are featuring really cool music videoclips. If you are a musician or a director with high quality work, please drop me a line here.
