As for Joe Strimmer with The Who, I thought he was awful! He reduced White Riot to a limp lettuce, and rendered all lyrics incomprehensible (Pete Townshend also did a pretty good job of trying to ruin everything as well). And what's wrong with The Girl From Ipanema? The last time I heard that live it was changed to an ode to tequila! (The same show also featured a drunken acapella rendition of New York, New York. That was changed to London, UK and featured a bit of human beatbox too!). SimonG >>> stevesiren 02/14 9:55 pm >>> Almost without fail Roxy have had an up & coming young band as support, (Tourists,Sharks,Mika's) but with the passing of time I can't see any of todays bands wishing to associated with an ageing group, no matter how influential.So I'd like to see something similar to what The Who did on their recent tour, and have someone like Joe Strummer(ok, I'm biased) or maybe some other reformed 70's group like Burlesque or A Raincoat. But please no attractive Brazilian's doing covers of "the girl from ipanema"!

Poor quality tapes exist of both shows, and the Rainbow tape has a strange version of Virginia Plain. It starts off as normal, but instead of going into the first verse it goes (musically) to the part where it'd go "You4re so sheer you4re so chic, teenage rebel of the week" and Bryan says "Hello, we're Roxy Music" then they launch into the song as normal..... until the end where "What's your name Virginia Plain" is followed by a very clumsy final chord smashed out by the band.

On A Perfumed Sigh video collection in the truly bewildering French drama that Bryan Ferry plays himself in, he goes and buys a newspaper published on the day he was born. In this show, he says he was born in 1944. But he latterly claims to be born in 1945. I'm confused, not because I don't understand that 'actors' read lines, but because he is playing himself in the show, so why have a different birthdate? Anyone? Is he 55 or 56? Also, surely the MOR crowd that loves Roxy Music mainstream would applaud the return to support slot status of Leo Sayer, wouldn't they? Also, if they mean to play 4 songs from each album including the hits, does that mean there's a chance they'll drop Jealous Guy from the set? A set without that or LST, now there would be a novelty! Finally, the new Mojo magazine has a 28 page special on prog rock which is (it says) experiencing a renaissance - "prog rock is coming in from the cold". And with Thom Yorke (surely an *inspired* choice of support for Roxy?) disclaiming anything to do with prog rock, I may yet come out of the closet, Ivor, and join you... Richard (Wembley, Block 34, 4th row, none of that peering over people standing in front of me, nothing but blue skies from now on!) n/p the clock's tick tock telling me to get off to work before they fire me... ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 10:06:28 +0000 From: "Simon Galloway" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy support act >>> "thom.wallace" 02/15 9:24 am >>> >For my own choice, a reformed Mott the Hoople wold be nice.

Cares about Creativity! I do, but you also need YESTERDAY, nostalgia, take what you can from it and take it forward. I probably listen to more new releases than "oldies" these days, but they all have a place. And as far as this ROXY tour goes I just want total nostalgia. I never had the chance to see them first time round, and I don't want some half-arsed new tunes cropping up and spoiling Beauty Queen or The Thrill Of It All, and especially not Street Life. Hopefully Bryan & co. will be invigorated and inspired to get some new music recorded AFTER the tour. They obviously want to relive their younger days (you can hardly call it youth) so let's enjoy it with them.

Woooaaaa slow down there Julia, My report was exactly that, short hand, transcribed rapidly, and reported verbatim. I omitted (due to the fact I was still at work trying to finish off the work I should have done during my "absent" afternoon) to report the true enthusiasm that existed in that room, both from the world's press and from the Lads themselves. When I walked in the room, Mother of Pearl (the pure version) was growling "Turn the lights down", you could have cut the atmosphere with a knife. By the time I found a seat, a new song (that was a little indistinct) wafted 'owner us. I could only imagine that it was one of the new tracks from Bryan's forthcoming album. But by then the cacophony amongst the so-called word weary journos in anticipation of The Entrance was at its height. Then we went into a video companion piece entitled The Legacy of Roxy Music. Fast framing through the decades I only came up for air when it reached the glossy old Jealous Guy footage. Then the guys came on to a standing ovation. They were candid - Phil more so than Bryan, but it is rarely I have seen Ferry so relaxed in the company of journos. Andy was a wee bit withdrawn but Phil sparkled, even answering a Latin American journalist in fluent Spanish, much to the amusement of Bryan and Andy. Certain questions were certainly more guarded than most, e.g. the Paul Thompson situation, which I have already commented on (I wasn't amused at this point by Bryan's flippancy). Even the NME's old guard were obviously excited by the idea of the forthcoming Roxy reunion. The reasons behind the tour were investigated and interrogated. Fun seemed to be top of the list, but obviously money is a governing factor. The atmosphere was party like, NOT business like. It was full of throw away lines and irony. Bryan dealing as gentlemanly as he did with the "been on a plane recently Bryan?" question was a mark of how boyishly he wanted to just get on with telling the world about Roxy again. Believe whatever you want to believe behind the reasons for the tour, relish it if you like, ignore it if you like. But one thing is certain, Roxy are news again.

And how about a simultaneous Roxy/Crimson Family Tree http://www.wiesner.de/rockfam/roxycrim.htm And try this for a good Sparks reference site http://www.fanmael.net/dispwho.htm There's mention of Sal Maida who played with them at one time. Oh, I've just realised....lunch hour is over and there's proper work to be done.

Dear Bill and All Other Southern Residents: I am extremely surprised the Roxy tour is ignoring a very large US population by not visiting the South with at least two gigs. As most know, the United States encompasses a vast area. I would think the incremental cost of including a date in say, Dallas and/or Atlanta, should be small enough that a profit would be realized thereby justifying the inclusion of southern cities to the tour. But then I know nothing about the entertainment industry, so... ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 09:28:56 EST From: ASchulberg@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy support act In a message dated 02/14/2001 6:11:41 PM Eastern Standard Time, johnny.reece@virgin.net writes: > Either that, or the time machines > coming out, and we're getting The Shangri-las.

This sort of reply went out of fashion when I was 12 years old. The fact of the matter is that there are people here who are thrilled about the reunion, skeptical about it, hopeful about it, wistful about it, completely against it. There are people who would mortgage their homes to see one or more shows, people who can't believe how much the ticket prices are, people who can't afford to go. There are folks who will have their hopes realized, and ones whose whose hopes will be dashed. There are those who will be won over and those who will only have their worst fears about the reunion confirmed. And they're all going to write to the list as is their right. And they're all welcome to do so. It's all good. So you might prepare yourself. Apologies, of course, if you are 12 years old.

But the signature is real - I saw myself do it! BTW - at the risk of being self-promotional (but informative) UK purchasers of the kids comic 'Thunderbirds' issue 6 (April, I think) should be able to spot various Roxy personnel posing(!) as oil-rig workers being rescued from The Hood. Actually, The Hood is posing as Manzo. Eno doesn't feature, but if you take a good look at that sinister bald guy with the flashing eyes . . . Oh, the thrill of it all . . .
