He was Davy Jones and Dave Bowie and then David Bowie but in 1972 he became Ziggy Stardust ! 

In 1969 his character Major Tom had a hit single with 'Space Oddity'. On the 'B' side of the original Philips release was a song called 'Wide Eyed Boy from Freecloud' - this version has sparse instrumentation: guitar (played by Bowie) and arco bass (by Paul Buckmaster). The album version, recorded in July/August 1969, features a full orchestral arrangement by Tony Visconti. Have a listen to the single 'B' side here > 

 

Last summer I saw the re-release (after restoration) of D. A. Pennebaker's documentary film of the final Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars performance on 3rd July 1973 at the Hammersmith Odeon, London. RCA records had recorded it with the intention of releasing a live album. However, the project was shelved for several reasons, rumoured to include Bowie's desire to leave Ziggy behind, and the poor quality of the recordings. Bowie and producer Tony Visconti mixed the recordings in 1981, a mix heavily criticised, although Visconti describes it as "more of a salvage job than an artistic endeavor" considering the state of the source material. 

That said, this sounds pretty good to me. 'Wide Eyed Boy from Freecloud' was played as part of a medley with "All the Young Dudes" and "Oh! You Pretty Things". 

> Finally, did any one of you ever see "Ziggy play guitar" live in concert ?
