Hammersmith Odeon, London, July 3, 1973. British singer David Bowie performs his alter ego Ziggy Stardust for the very last time. A decadent show, a hallucinogenic collage of kitsch, pop irony and flamboyant excess: a musical symbiosis of feminine passion and masculine dominance that defines Bowie's art and the glam rock genre.

Uriah Heep's progressive heavy metal sound made the British band one of the most popular hard rock groups of the 1970s. The boys are still at the top of their game in this live 1985 concert at the Camden Palace in London. Tracks include "Sell Your Soul," "Stealin'," "The Other Side of Midnight," "Gypsy," "Bad Blood" and more. (Incidentally, Uriah Heep is the wicked clerk of Mr. Wickfield in Charles Dickens's classic novel "David Copperfield".)
