Koetting" Subject: RE: [AVALON] A little new Roxymusic (Bravo!) This version has really grown on me- and I have to say that I'm very impressed overall... What a cool (COOL!) intro! I want more details regarding sax, guitar, and the wonderful keyboards.. Particularly nice after the first chorus of "More Than This." Guitar is sweet- the vocals a little timid, but yet present, and cool sax!! OK- I expect laughter here, but I could *easily* imagine Duran Duran doing a pretty hefty-cool cover of "More Than This," suddenly- (ready to duck!) After all, we all know Duran Duran wish they were Bryan Sylvian, David Ferry, or Japan's Roxy Music... greggie/atlanta "If before the morning comes...there'll be nothing more than this.. than the Reflex..." - -----Original Message----- From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-avalon@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Mats Andersson Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 8:59 PM To: Avalon Subject: [AVALON] A little new Roxymusic Hi all Avalonians.

Never been there before. However GM Place is where the Vancouver Canucks NHL team plays. I think it seats about 20,000. However as I understand for Roxy they are not using the entire place. They are doing what is called concert bowl seating where they curtain off a section of the arena. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angela Prue" To: Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2001 5:28 PM Subject: Re: [AVALON] AVALON - Editions of me > Hi Nigel! > > Hey, very few old faces here that I recognize :( > I've been gone for a year, but of course with the > tour eminent had to pop back in! > > Anyone planning on attending the Vancouver BC concert?

Oh dear, here we go again. It does not really surprise me though... as I may have asked on another forum a while back, I wonder how much time and effort Bryan is going to afford into promoting and even touring what is (to him at least) old solo work? You can bet he is going to be itching to get back into the studio, after a couple of months on the road with his old Roxy cohorts the ideas and creative juices should be in full flow. twiddling my thumbs Neil - ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Turner To: Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2001 3:33 PM Subject: [AVALON] disappearing into the distance... > Hi, > > I'm told that BF was interviewed on Radio Newcastle on Thursday night and > announced the inevitable - the new album has been put back until January > 2002... > > Ho hum > > Chris > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > 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: Sat, 5 May 2001 15:15:33 EDT From: OBrienFerry@aol.com Subject: [AVALON] Roxy First Song Just thinking about what Roxy could open the shows with:- I thought Roxy should start off where they left off on their last album, the lights go down, a sense of anticipation from the crowd, the sound of waves softly reaching the beach, musicians wander across the dark stage to their positions, a piano plays some open handed chords, Andy's sax plays the opening notes of Tara, a cheer of recognition from the crowd, the track ends on A minor the same as the first chord to The Thrill Of It all which seemlessly throbs out with the long intro that gives Ferry his late entrance...... " and now the show's in full swing" On listening to Stranded for the first time in ages today, I thought that Just Like You would be so welcome as Sunset was last tour. There are a few tracks that have never been done live that would be welcome.

Going on a tangent-My friend interviewed my fave popstar, Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, for his school paper at the time. I went along with him. After the interview was over, we asked Neil what he thought about the mailing list for the band, which he did know about (his manager was on the list for quite some time). His response: You use me for your own reasons - I might as well be running a dating service. Hmmm.
