Highlights on a first play include an extraordinary Trower solo in LITD from the 94 LA show, a great vocal of Mamouna on Danny Baker and those bizarre scat cat hush-hush Avalon demos. Not to mention the scratchy "Wonderful World" duet with Twig the Wonder-Kid. History, friends, this is history. A superb collection wrapped in a sumptuous sleeve.

Six songs were recorded and none were released for three decades....In 1961 the Beach Boys released their first record, "Surfin'". It became a local L.A. hit, but limped to #75 nationally...in 1966 the Boys made up for it when "Good Vibrations" caught the big #1 like a full-blown tsunami....the rock opera "Tommy" opened in London in 1973....Tony Basil's single, "Mickey" climbed to the top of the charts. "Hey Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey." They just don't write 'em like that any more. (here's the Avalon tie-in) This was also an unusually tragic week in music history. A 26-year- old Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, WI. He had just recorded "The Dock of the Bay" three days earlier.... John Lennon was gunned down outside his NYC apartment in 1980.... Jazz great Charlie Byrd passed to that big gig in the sky earlier this week, 1999. He was 74. - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 07:52:25 -0500 From: "eRacerX" Subject: Re: [AVALON] In Bed with O'Brien >A superb collection wrapped in a sumptuous sleeve. > >Han, I salute you, And so do I!

One of the best and at times the most hilarious memoirs you could ever read from the ex-Beatle. He came a little earlier than Roxy to America but I understood the lukewarm reception to Roxy here initially when I happened to read that Lennon freaked at how we looked when he got here. What can you expect when he saw us in bermuda shorts and ,I think he also said, with green stuff in our teeth? Wonder what Ferry & co's first impression was.

May I say that time spent in their company is well spent, for a more knowledgeable and enthusiastic crowd would be hard to imagine. Thanks everybody for making a good night great. Special credit to Luc and Han for making the long trip across the North Sea. Han is every bit as nice as he appears in this group and the new Strictly Confidential CD is superb. Perhaps you can hear it playing in the background? As I said my goodbyes to the other Avalonians outside the RFH I considered myself to have had an evening to remember. Bryan even gave me a high five as he came on for the encore. But there was more to come... A sauntered down the concourse outside the I glanced across to my left to see a black car draw up. I wandered over, half-interested. I saw a group of about thirty people outside the Stage Door. It was 11.05, surely the Old Man has gone home. They're wasting their time. As I wandered up I saw Andy Langley cheery grin amongst the throng. A voice spoke right next to me and Jim Lawn, who I had engaged in conversation earlier was there. "I thought he'd gone home ages ago" said Jim "But he's still in there" I thought I'd hang around to see if the Great Man came out to his car, and a few exited minutes passed. A large doorman asked everyone to step back and we braced ourselves for a crush that never came. Instead the word filtered back. "Bryan will see you in turn all as long as you're well behaved. My heart skipped a beat. Could it be true? An audience with His Royal Ferryness? Eventually the queue shortened and I reached the Stage Door. I glanced inside and there was the Great Man, incongruously dressed in a checked flat cap, a full length bottle green coat, red silk scarf, dark trousers and tan wing tips (I noted this for you Martino). I was bizarrely reminded of Eric Morecambe at the end of the Morecambe and Wise show. A few seconds more and I stood in front of Our Hero. I looked into that big familiar face and I have to say that, for the first time that evening he looked his 54 years, tired and careworn and strangely expressionless. The two girls in front of me gushed their last and kissed their hero goodbye and, for a few brief seconds the Maestro was mine alone. I mumbled some platitudes about the gig and, as I struggled for words. I blurted cringingly "I'm looking forward to the new material next year" "Yeah", said Bry, and after a few moments thought, "Late next year" I thanked him for his time and as I turned I touched his left elbow in acknowledgement, His right hand immediately came up to shake mine for a second time. I turned and left, autographed programme riveted to my hand, and wandered outside to see a dazed Andy Langley, with whom I swapped anecdotes. After a few moments Bryan came out to the car to a slightly sheepish cheer from all of us. And then he was gone into the night... Ferry looked a tired man as I spoke to him but he took the trouble to be attentive and courteous and to sign for everyone who waited. Such is the mark of a true gentleman and a true star. My dear friends, yesterday I was just a mere mortal, but now I have met Bryan, and life will never be the same again...there are no ambitions left unfulfilled, Even the fact that a fat drunken woman sat on me on the train home can't detract from the splendour of the evening It's quarter to Two, I'm tired and a little trembly. Back to the real world in six hours... Chris (Whose met Bryan Ferry don'cha know?) - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 01:59:06 -0000 From: "Johnny Reece" Subject: [AVALON] The Thrill Of It All Oh No. It's going to be one of those long, 'gushing' type posts to the list. Can't help it. Tonight was, frankly, one of the greats (RFH London). It doesn't matter a jot how many times I've seen Roxy/Bry or where or when, tonight was something special. It began with an 'Avalonia meet' in the Kings Arms Pub - then on to the Gig. I thought I had 2nd row tickets - wrong ! Centre - Front Row, so that set me up good and proper. I was with my good Roxy friend Ivor (soon to join this list when his new PC arrives in the next few days) and on my other side was fellow Avalonian Andy Cooper. The Gig - of course was brill - and yes, it did include 'Street Life' and 'Out Of The Blue' (featuring a note-perfect violin solo from Lucy W. ) The timing was perfect in the 'run to the stage' stakes about 20 mins from the end - right in front of Bry - and, to be honest, it was 'Avalonia heaven' out there. Us lot were everywhere ! (Much loud singing along to the 'standards' very much out of tune of course - but hey, we're not trained !). An impeccable 'Casanova' and 'The Only Face' once again - and I really hope someone, somewhere, has a good recording of tonight which may surface on this list... The Gig was filmed - so we all await news on that one... What made tonight even more special was not just the Gig, or the great seats - but the whole damn event - with a large percentage of Avalonians there... Much drinks and chats in the foyer afterwards, everyone meeting everyone else, and poor Lucy W. being besieged, surrounded by drooling Avalonians (yeah, OK, I did it too). I did tell her though that if 'Grey Lagoons' wasn't in the Setlist by the time the Glasgow Gig comes round on Friday, there would be a riot. She didn't believe me - worth a try though. Rosie (Cello) appeared briefly at the Bar, signed a couple of Programmes, then beat a hasty retreat. Personally, I was awaiting the arrival of Julia (Harp) - along with the rest of the male population, probably. She didn't appear, sensibly. Han - all the way from Eindhoven - our very own CD Maestro - good to meet you, and many, many thanks for the CD... Also Luc - all the way from Paris, nice to see ya, no doubt we'll meet again should a Paris Gig be confirmed for Feb 2000 - we await news on that one. Nice to meet you too, Mrs Martenot... Mr. O'Brien was there of course, in full Braveheart Garb, a-la Ferry on the encores of Glasgow & Edinburgh circa 74'. The Tartan on the Kilt was 'McFerry' (probably). See ya in Glasgow on Friday, John. We then rounded off the evening by 5 of us invading a local Italian Restaurant - myself, Ivor, Andy, and the 2 Richards. No need to ask what the thread of conversation was. All in all a great Evening - great Gig, with great company. And that's really something. Reecey... - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 21:45:14 EST From: ASchulberg@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] In Bed with O'Brien In a message dated 12/14/1999 7:24:05 AM Eastern Standard Time, martinstockman@btinternet.com writes: << Highlights on a first play include an extraordinary Trower solo in LITD from the 94 LA show, >> Thanks, Davd, for the video on cd with Trower supporting BF on Leno.

However, I prefer the arrangements for ATGB. Bryan's version of WoW is better as well. George's version is upbeat and doesn't have the same haunting feel. On another note, I find that the more I play this CD to people who are not familiar with Bryan, the more positive response I get. This CD makes for a great stocking stuffer. I've bought 3 copies for my older friends who are more familiar with these songs. On a final note, I can really see some of these songs used for soundtrack purposes on future Romantic-Comedy movies.
