They'll have to arrange dates very soon if they can play Chastain. The park usually has its summer series finalized and scheduled by early March so they can sell those big expensive packages of all the concerts. I've only been there once... to see Bry in '88. I'm quite willing to take a few vacation days and see several shows around the southeast, so I hope Roxy actually plays in Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, etc., especially considering how the ATGB tour bypassed us completely. - --Grant http://go.to/popocalypse _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 14:39:14 -0000 From: Jocelyn Fiske Subject: RE: [AVALON] Eno/Fripp & Ferry Rod, Thanks for your very interesting recount. Whilst in Moscow, John O'BrienFerry ne just plain old John O'Brien and I were discussing Holy Grails. One was the Ferry audition for King Crimson. We have heard apocryphal tales of its demise, but Ivor (bless 'im) has always maintained that Fripp being the obsessive he is would never have binned it. Your story seems to bear this out. When did this so-called Eno/Fripp meeting take place do you know? The other Holy Grail? The 1971 Roxy demo of course. Wonder who's got that gathering dust on a studio shelf? As for show openers, how about a five minute bass intro into The Main Thing? Or pitch black stage and ghostly oboe to Ladytron (but they've already done that).

It's from a discussion I had with someone outside of this group. Enjoy...Rod "Yeah. They(Eno/Fripp) were in a small little club at UofPenn. They did some frippitronics stuff, some electric, some ambient stuff, etc. They did a lot of talking, about playing and about other people like ferry and david byrne. At one point, fripp stopped playing and sort of chuckled, and said he had a treat for the audience. Then played a cassette of brian ferry singing crimson man. He said it was an audition for king crimson, but he was kind of laughing so I don9t think it really was. It was wild, schiz man is such a cutting and harsh song the way crimson did it, and there was brian ferry's really melodic voice doing the vocals without any of the feedback effects. There wasn't anyone recording as far as I knew, but there is at least one tape out there, his." ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 09:44:28 EST From: KWil632057@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Curtain Raiser (Was Concept Roxy) Giving the opening two lines how about opening with Chance Meeting?

I t's worth remembering that the inventor of the concept album was Frank Sinatra, and it is definitely a 'feel' that makes his albums more than just a loose collection of songs - a shared tone in the lyrics and the arrangements. People on this list have more than once said that Ferry's 'moods' are the rock version of Sinatra. There's some truth in this to my mind, though there's a danger thereby of underestimating Sinatra's musical sophistication and excellence.

God, I love that song! back to lurking . . . . Helene My vote too Helene. It's my fav Roxy song. Of course when they tour, Chicago is a MUST tour stop. A few WXRT(Chicago) dj's are getting psyched for their return. Terri Hemmert and Tom Marker are big Roxy Fans and made the announcement about the upcoming tour. They essentially repeated what was in the British press. The only problem is what venue to play. I hope they DON'T play the Aragon. The acoustics in that place are horrible!!! It't only good for heavy metal and boxing events ( or private parties given by guys with big bucks-hello Andrew!). The Riviera, which is where Bryan played in 1999 ( has it been that long ago?) would be great as long as it is multiple nights (2-3). I'd like that venue because I live down the street and I could hang out at the back door. Another choice would be the Auditorium. GREAT acoustics. Just add my 2 cents to the chorus of those who have hoped/wished/prayed for this reunion/tour for a long time. I don't care if it is for the money or what ever they might have. Who cares! It's THEM !!. Okay, so no ENO (sigh), but I will keep my fingers crossed that Eddie Jobson and Paul Thompson are asked to come on board. Outside of Charlie Watts, Paul is the best drummer in rock. Since we will never see the Fab Four performing again, this is the next best thing. Viva Roxy! Now what to wear??? Jas 46(1/13) and counting.........

It didn't seem to be in any other shops and there was only one copy in HMV. To be honest with you I'm a bit disappointed with it. It's basically a straight run through of the concert, though maybe all the tracks that were played aren't there, I haven't have had time to check with the Avalonia reports. But it's a real lost opportunity I feel. After the "teasing" this week I was thinking what sort of extra features could there be? After watching a bit of it last night here are some thoughts: 1. These are songs which BF loves. We could've had short interviews with him talking about each one. (Or at the very least some written text. 2. A bit of backstage footage? Part of the soundcheck? 3. There's quite obviously an encore song played (you can tell because the girls have the T-shirts on)but there's no other way of telling. It would've been nice to have seen a little bit of the audience cheering. (Yes, Chris I did spot you! I haven't seen any of the others though). I don't know if there any technical constraints(apart from lack of will) but I find it hard to believe some of these things or similar aren't possible on one disc. If you look at the wealth of extra features on the Bond discs for example I suspect far more could've been included. If I go one step further in my opinion there's a constant meanness exhibited by the Ferry camp towards the fan which I get really irritated about. Some examples: 1. The selling of the Japenese Special Remasters without lyric sheets and then another batch with the lyrics less than six months later. 2. In my opinion I didn't think the box set offered a great deal. Sure there were some nice pictures and a few b-sides (and didn't they get one of them wrong anyway?) but it didn't really offer a great deal more than was on the cd albums before. Possible extras could've been: BBC sessions, demos, live material (though Jim Lawn told me once that it was thought there could be a box set of live material). So, as for the often mooted BF box set what's going to be on there? Well, from past experience my money's on selected tracks from the albums with maybe one or two unreleased tracks thrown in. I would like to be prooved wrong though. I'd better do some work, sorry for the rant.

The prospect of new material with and by Ferry/Manzanera/Mackay certainly gets even my jaded old pulse racing! But I can't help thinking about two recent examples, which also got me excited, where things didn't work out so well. Firstly, the reformed Television cut a new album a few years ago, which I found very disappointing. Secondly, the reformed Velvet Underground toured Europe, and their press releases at the time said there would be new material. They played one (less than wonderful) new song in the set, and only the live album was ever released. If the Roxy 3 have a ball playing live together and the urge to cut new material comes naturally out of that process, I'll be pleased. If they go into the studio "cold" and try to produce something just because there seems to be a market for it, we could hardly expect it to be an inspiring album. If the creative "spark" doesn't happen, it may be better to release only a live document of the tour. If this sounds negative, let me add that I'm fully expecting to enjoy a night or two of the tour *hugely.* I know they'll put on a good show on the strength of one of the best back catalogues in the pop world, and their sheer professionalism.
