David Bowie will release a live set from his 1972 US Ziggy Stardust tour on June 30. David Bowie: Live Santa Monica ‘72 will be available on CD, DVD and double vinyl. Bowie has said: "I can tell that I'm totally into being Ziggy by this stage of our touring. It's no longer an act; I am him. This would be around the tenth American show for us and you can hear that we are all pretty high on ourselves. We train wreck a couple of things, I miss some words and sometimes you wouldn't know that pianist Mike Garson was onstage with us but overall I really treasure this bootleg. Mick Ronson is at his blistering best."

The gig was recorded on October 20, 1972. Here's the full tracklisting for the new release.
