It's one thing for a few teenagers and twentysomethings to be into Roxy and Ferry, but such an adoring pre-teen fan is quite another thing. You have conditioned her well :-) I was especially pleased that she said BF is "not old at all". Age tends to be one of the things that prejudices children against celebrities and musicians.

I'd say that, well, the original band's still the greatest . . . Nearly everyone I've spoken to had a good time at the Ferry stuff, but really, this is Year Zero as far as old Roxy songs go. The explosive (and sometimes physically damaging - Simon G's buddy?) drumming of TGPT is not to be compared with the ATGB version. Also, from my point of view, all the technically perfect sessioneers in the world don't make up for class A creative soloists like M&M. Having said all that - the reconstructed 30s sound was fair (though not as rocking as the originals either - listen to the Pennies From Heaven UK TV soundtrack) and as a live event, seems to have been very well received by those attending. At the Roxy gigs earplugs are recommended if (like me) you suffer 'day after deafness'. WHAT? Lee S ____________________________________________ Easily distracted? Displacement activity a problem?

Tonight, we get both chapters of their unique history: the Beginning - the heady rush of their first three albums; each a surrealist masterstroke of retro-futurist pastiche and ice-cold, exquisitely contrived ennui. And the Epilogue : the sumptuous romanticism of swansong 'Avalon' - each number an ornate lesson in heartbroken Euro-pop. As a result, avant-anthems 'Virginia Plain' , and 'If There Is Something' are allowed to gambol alongside such silver-flecked sophisti-pop standards as 'Oh Yeah' and 'More Than This', leaving Ferry to dance, as ever, like grandma's over-egged souffle. The effect is both disconcerting and breathlessly entertaining - the perfect reminder that Roxy always spiked their awkward, art-pop cocktail with a pomp-deflating dose of humour. Whatever the reasons behind their reunion, it's clear neither cynicism nor the soulless sheen of professionalism has blighted their canvas. Ferry, Phil Manzanera and saxophonist Andy Mackay still rock like demons, still sound like the bravest, smartest, strangest band that ever was. Almost two decades after they kissed their past goodnight, Roxy Music are still, effortlessly, the sound of the future.

Wouldn't it be good if the band themselves released a live album, complete with vanity overdubs etc., but then also issued CDs of each show?

What, like F+B and Avalon? ;-) Just to add my two penn'orth to Simon's resume of his wild weekend, I was three-quarters of the Wembley hanger away from Simon in the cheap (well, free actually) seats on Sunday. Although I missed the detail that enhanced the Nottingham show, the sound was better further back (closer to Rhett Davies' ears) and the light show is really something. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to see this gig. PM's noisy 1972 solo at the end of "Ladytron" was brilliant, Bryan's voice seemed in really good nick, only once or twice did I notice a roughness suggesting tiredness through touring. And Andy honked and hollered really well throughout. I kind of miss the duck-walk (I remember at Leicester in '79 that bassist Gary Tibbs followed Andy in the same style across the stage) but I suppose we must all allow ourselves the chance to age gracefully! A terrific show. I do hope they manage one or two dates here at the end of the tour, perhaps at an AMA2?! But if they don't - wow, what an exit!

Tonight, we get both chapters of their unique history: the Beginning - the heady rush of their first three albums; each a surrealist masterstroke of retro-futurist pastiche and ice-cold, exquisitely contrived ennui. And the Epilogue : the sumptuous romanticism of swansong 'Avalon' - each number an ornate lesson in heartbroken Euro-pop. As a result, avant-anthems 'Virginia Plain' , and 'If There Is Something' are allowed to gambol alongside such silver-flecked sophisti-pop standards as 'Oh Yeah' and 'More Than This', leaving Ferry to dance, as ever, like grandma's over-egged souffle. The effect is both disconcerting and breathlessly entertaining - the perfect reminder that Roxy always spiked their awkward, art-pop cocktail with a pomp-deflating dose of humour. Whatever the reasons behind their reunion, it's clear neither cynicism nor the soulless sheen of professionalism has blighted their canvas. Ferry, Phil Manzanera and saxophonist Andy Mackay still rock like demons, still sound like the bravest, smartest, strangest band that ever was. Almost two decades after they kissed their past goodnight, Roxy Music are still, effortlessly, the sound of the future.
