It looks to me like Frejus '82 (The High Road video) performance of LITD with the studio version dubbed on, and I thought it was odd that they didn't use the Wembley '75 version as that does pop up occasionaly on VH1 in the UK, although Bryan's first line is cut, for no apparant reason as the rest of the intro is there. I've written too much now. SimonG ___________________________________________________________________________ The indestructible tagline farts in your general direction.

I have a shiny new 2nd VCR here with me in the Shop, purchased this very morning. Production re-starts next Monday after I stagger back from France.

I guess the silver lining, if you will, is minimal Ferry time needed for the compilation releases (my hope) should minimally interfere with Ferry creative time to compose brand new glistening items for the wanton fans that need it all.

Do you think it is? btw, i was watching 'the high road' and it struck me that *fretless* bass work has never really graced roxy's or bryan's work. is that right? i guess i wondered because i was trying to get a glimpse of spenner's bass and it didn't look like a fretless. and i don't believe 'fretless' bass has ever been a credit on any roxy/ferry. it just seems like there's a big change in sound that was to be had, that route. but then, ferry's never been too big on bass players, has he? liked the '78 interview segment there, kicki. thanks. peaces/ms ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ___________________________________________________________________________ The indestructible tagline farts in your general direction.

There were at least two albums out by Nazz; I've got at least one. It has a wonderful song called Hello It's Me, done as a ballad .. later it was re-done at a faster pace, never liked it as much punched up. I have no idea what the Nazz / Alice Cooper connection is about, tho. I have never heard of that. Ida Will Frechette wrote: > > gene something about this Nazz thing makes me think Todd Rundgren.

That seems pretty amazing, even for him. Can anyone confirm this? Heard this other places? Crystal Here's the text for those who'd like to see the original quote: Article: "The Life of Bryan" by Lesley White "Teaching himself the rudiments of piano--rumor has it he only started playing ten days before Roxy made their first demo tape--in his small flat, he agonised . . . over lyrics . . .
