Classic Albums Live performs David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, exactly as you remember hearing it, note-for-note, cut-for-cut, at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. This groundbreaking album—featuring hits such as "Suffragette City," "Moonage Daydream," and the title track "Ziggy Stardust"—can be found on virtually every list of the greatest albums of all time. David Bowie's 1972 masterpiece, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, is a seminal concept album that follows the story of Ziggy Stardust, a rock star who serves as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings. Bowie's alter ego, Ziggy, becomes a symbol of rebellion and freedom in a dystopian world. The album features iconic tracks such as “Starman,” “Suffragette City,” "Moonage Daydream" and the title track, “Ziggy Stardust,” which blend glam rock, proto-punk and avant-garde influences to create a theatrical and innovative sound. This album achieved significant commercial success, selling over two million copies worldwide. With its captivating narrative, bold experimentation and Bowie's charismatic performances, Ziggy Stardust remains one of the most influential and enduring albums in the history of rock music. Please note: the San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this concert.
