I'd somehow never seen this before, but it got screened for one night only at a cinema near where I live, so was happy to take the opportunity to see it screened for its 50th anniversary.
It's a really good concert film, and speaks to how much amazing music David Bowie already had just five to six years into his career (and then he kept going for 40+ more years). There's already too much here for a single greatest hits album, and he doesn't even play certain iconic songs like Starman and Life on Mars. Moonage Daydream was probably the best song here- the live performance is even better than the studio one.
It's also a good documentary to watch to appreciate how entertaining Bowie was on stage; he had the charisma and physical aura to match his great music for sure.
