He has asked me to pass this review, of his own words, on to the list... - -------------------------------------------------------------------- At 8 o'clock the lights went down. We were behind the stage, no nerves at all, or so it seems. The Kraftwerk song was the sign to get ready. So after this one it got dark and an edit version of Sultanesque, played by Simon Galloway was filling the Oval Room in the Spot... There was a wave of recognition in the audience and I started to get goosebumps... Halfway through Sultanesque, Cor climbed on the stage to make some strange noises on his keys, just like a wind blows around, then Henk, Kees, John and Leslie showed up, one by one. And then Leslie began to play the first notes, recognised by everyone...Ladytron. The first phrases: "You got me girl on the run around.." I was singing backstage, then I walked from behind the curtain while singing: "Lady...". I was so afraid to fall off stage, cause I was feeling dizzy, out of the blue. Maybe it was the relief to lose all the tension of 3 months work, realising it was all coming true now!! The band was so strong. They were carrying the instrumental part very well so it wasn't difficult to fill in the vocal part, thanks to them!! To me, personal highlights were: "Out of the Blue" - the first notes John played, doing the Jobson solo!!, "A Song For Europe" : leaving the stage to make space for Leslie's magnificent solowork, which thrilled everyone!! "Mother Of Pearl", knowing it was the audience favourite, and to me the swing was hypnotising!! "If There Is Something", cause it's simply one of my own favourites, and I like the different atmospheres so much: first country-like singa-long song, then a crooners ballad with tortured voice, then a splendid solo-part building up by guitar going to a climax and then picked up by a classical oboe (Leslie's playing a soprano-sax), and then the last part shouted from your soul: "shake your head..." followed by a chorus where the audience on it's best!! Another very special moment to me was doing: "That's How Strong", cause I sung it for a very special person. The second reason why I chose this song was I thought there should be a soulfull song in the set cause Bryan Ferry likes Motown and Stax so much. As usual "Re-make/Re-model" was the smasher, and it always makes me sad to play this song, cause it means party is over. I myself enjoyed every second of the gig, and looking to the twinkle in the eyes of the other guys, including our soundman Lou, they were feeling happy too!! And what a great audience!! We never played for such an enthusiastic audience before!! Special thanks to Johnny Reece for all his help, energy and inspiration!! Thanks to Jocelyn, Ivor, John O'B., Andrew (For being a perfect lightman!!) and Simon (for doing the intro and being d.j.!!). Thanks to all the loyal dutch fans, to make such a trip to see us play in Roxy Music-land. Thanks to everyone who was there to give her or his support, YOU were great!! Hope to see you soon again, cause next time... All the best, Ron (Re-make/Re-model). P.s. check out the Re-make/Re-model website www.beam.to/remake-remodel the following weeks cause I'm going to try to write a more detailed review about our trip and stay, plus reactions of people after the gig. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 23:05:31 -0000 From: "Philip Adams" Subject: [AVALON] New Town To elaborate on my earlier post, it almost seems that at the end of the song Ferry's vocals waiver, and he's about to launch into "feel your fingers burn". I'm not a musician but the similarity to what was possibly to become the Mamouna track , much later on, struck me. An aside, the Bete Noire was clearly touring both "Boys and Girls" and "Bete Noire". The "New Town" video features 6 tracks from the former and just 3 from the latter album. I know the title track of Bete Noire was in the show. Does any one know of any other songs from Bete Noire played on that tour?

If I ever knew the answer I've forgotten it. Was it the NME who christened him this? or maybe Ferry on stage.. "On drums , The Great Paul Thompson" He's been called this as long as I can remember.Please help!

From what I know all US copies were defective, including both of my copies. Unfortunately, Virgin(US) was never held accountable or gave an explanation of this. I'm sure when it came out a lot of people didn't even have HI-FI VCR's yet and by the time they upgraded to one realized their precious Ferry tape was fatally flawed. It would be nice to get an "official" explanation on this garbled-tape from someone at Virgin. I'm sure word never got back to Bryan that they screwed up his "New Town" video in the United States NTSC version. "Here comes the chopper to chop off their heads..." Gotta run... baby's crying!!

Roxy Music hello roxyfolk i've only been back to reading the list this last week but it strikes me straightaway that there is a kind of hazy divide between the purists and the populists within the roxy family. the purists would broadly be those who probably dug the post-pause trilogy but who really stake all on the first five (+Viva!) discs. the populists would be those who got into roxy non-chronologically, so to speak, and perhaps rate the later music as highly - - or even more highly - than the first body of work. by extension, there are ultra-populists and ultra-purists ! me, i like both parts and see the whole thing as a progressive picture, which it obviously is, but ultimately i am a purist. i think you could make an argument for any album up to and including Viva! as being the best. i mean there's no point, no need to, but you could. whenever i play ANY one of them i always think WOW! on the other hand, i could never for a moment consider the later records to be in the same league as the earlier ones. i really like them but not in the same way. they do not reach the same part of my brain. (actually i don't get on at all well with flesh and blood, even though i loved that show). what is great about roxy is that they always kept the force and thread going by just being so incredibly good live, in both periods, big band and small. as a purist, give me the paul thompson band anytime, but the big last line-up was sensational too, i think. some of you populists will see things the other way around, i guess, so you are right too! i know what real roxy means to me but it ain't the same for everyone. so i agree with the the great paul thompson supporters club about the here and now. this could be the last time. what a chance missed if paul is not asked to join, when he is clearly ready to do it! i mean, can you imagine mel collins in place of andy, or spedding (even if we love him) in place of pm? i like andy newmark's playing myself, think he is a marvellous drummer, but he is not paul thompson. simple as that. give Viva! a spin and listen to that power! the virtuoso level of interplay between andy and phil has always been astonishing but it was even more mind-blowing with paul in the game. ain't that so? jim oh yes, and i think my copy of new town is buzz-free. got it in france. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 21:22:57 -0500 From: jmdillon@mindspring.com Subject: [AVALON] Bryan's "New Town" His Largest Tour?

I noticed it when I recorded a cassette of New Town to have for the car. I had just replaced the rear speakers in the Legend and was looking forward to about an hour drive south on I 95. There are some exteamly spirited track versions off Bete Noir and B & G's. as well as other on New Town. The version of the Chosen One is a killer. My first time hearing him do the jazzy version of Casanova live. Please note: If you do not have this tape please do not let this deter you. If you can find it for a reasonable price I encourage it's purchase. It is a very find performance. I really felt Bryan gave a lot on this tour in the states. Is it be safe to assume he was probably touring to his largest audiences as headliner in his solo career?
