It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

this live performance film from the Serious Moonlight tour is Bowie at his finest...no gimmicks...the music stands on it's own...Bowie and his band are flawless...an outstanding collection of all his greatest songs...have watched this concert over and over and it never gets tired...the performance is very energetic and fresh...the stage costumes are spot on for the time...(mid 80's)...featuring one of the best recordings of Young American ever recorded...Modern Love..Fashion...Heros..Look Back in Anger...this film is an excellent archive of Bowies talent and enduring style...also note the title related surprise during the closing number of the concert...

I remember buying this one a two VHS cassette pack in 1987 when I went to London, having always been a huge Bowie fan I had to have those two..The show is awesome, for being in 1983 - it shows Bowie on the tour he would later become the most tired of, The Serious Moonlight tour, but tour to promote the album Let's Dance, featuring huge hits like of course Let's Dance, and China Girl...all songs he would later regret having written, yet still performs on tours for some reason..A terrific show, a definite must-GET if you're a Bowie fan..Cannot really rate it as a film, but the production value is very high and therefore, for the sheer entertainment it delivers: 8/10

I have always enjoyed Bowie's music, and am old enough to remember when most of the 18 songs on this video came out. So what. So I can say that what has always intrigued me about Bowie, besides his ever-changing tastes, is his choice of musicians. He chooses who he likes to play with.His choice of musicians on this tour make me cringe. Sorely missing is his old mate, the dearly departed Mick Ronson, meister of the tasty guitar licks on most 70's Bowie. With him here are some dudes who sound influenced by the Flock of Seagulls. And worst of all is the drummer, Tony Thompson. This guy was in vogue in the 80's with most british pop singers. And what does he bring? Constant over-playing and a never ending collect of fills which he always rushes and ends prematurely on 4.I was bored with this set severly, which is odd to say given Bowie's efforts of putting on a theatrical performance.

There are some great Bowie songs on this video but everything is far too slick. This was filmed at a time when Bowie was cashing in on his hit album and playing all his hits in a sanitized manner. Rent the Ziggy Stardust movie instead.
