Le 3 juillet 1973, au Hammersmith Odeon de Londres. Dans les loges, David Bowie se métamorphose une dernière fois en Ziggy Stardust, ange sexy, androgyne futuriste, diva kitsch dont les jambes nues font grimper les jeunes filles (et les autres) au rideau. Sur scène, la star la plus glam enchaîne ses standards : "Space Oddity", "Suffragette City", "Rock'n'roll Suicide"… Il changera trois fois de parure au cours de la soirée, son guitariste Mick Ronson (avec qui il mimera quelques scènes de luttes sado-maso) maintenant la salle à température ambiante pendant que l'artiste disparaît en coulisses.
