Very nicely written. The concert in Munich received mixed receptions with the local press, especially the WAZ - who had though more than 6 major errors in their report ! - - it did not take 35 minutes for the audience to warm up - - the hall was not hall empty - - the picture of our Man was from the 1999 tour - - Dance Away was not played - - Virginia Plain was not played at a higher tempo ... etc Half an hour ago I was really disappointed at reading the WAZ report but your exact and critical reviewm balances me out again.

Juli A friend of mine has sent me this article. It's in German but I thought I just post it to the list. Some of you will understand it (and maybe some can translate it? I am neither german nor english speaking). Do read it. It is very interesting. - -------------- F|nf Pin-ups auf Tour Keine Band war glamourvser als Roxy Music. Jetzt strahlen die f|nf Pop-Musiker nach 18 Jahren Pause wieder auf der B|hne. Interview mit Brian Ferry WELT am SONNTAG: Herr Ferry, ist es sehr schwierig, alte Roxy-Songs zu lernen? Brian Ferry: Dazu braucht man schon mehrere Semester an der Musikhochschule. Auf den ersten Blick sind die Songs simpel, aber wenn man genauer hinhvrt, erkennt man ihre subtile Struktur. Au_erdem muss ein Roxy-Song ein bestimmtes Gef|hl erzeugen. Das geht nicht durch blo_es Nachspielen der Noten. Ich nehme an, das ist auch der Grund, warum es kaum akzeptable Cover-Versionen unserer Songs gibt. WamS: Was ist es f|r ein Gef|hl, nach 18 Jahren wieder gemeinsam auf Tour zu gehen? Ferry: Roxy Music sorgt noch immer f|r gro_es Interesse. Ich denke, dass wir damals zum richtigen Zeitpunkt aufgehvrt haben. "Avalon", unser letztes Album, war qualitativ so gut, dass man uns Erinnerung behalten hat. Aber nun sind die Erwartungen nat|rlich sehr hoch. WamS:Sie haben den Ausstieg schon mal als Fehler bezeichnet ... Ferry: Wir hdtten bestimmt noch das eine oder andere Album aufnehmen kvnnen. Aber ich sp|rte damals diesen Drang, mit anderen Leuten zu arbeiten. Ich bin auch nicht ungl|cklich |ber meine Entscheidung. WamS: Seither arbeiten sie viel. Ist das eine Kompensationshandlung? Ferry: Ich glaube schon. Ich versuche, ein wenig Boden gutzumachen, denn die Uhr tickt und es macht mich nervvs. Mal sehen, ob wir noch eine Roxy-Platte einschieben kvnnen. WamS: Es wird also nach der Tournee das obligatorische Live-Album geben? Ferry: Es gibt keine konkreten Pldne, aber wir werden definitiv einige Shows mitschneiden. Man kann ja nie wissen. Wenn die Tour gut lduft und uns die Aufnahmen gefallen, ist es durchaus mvglich. WamS: Wiedervereinigungen bergen die Gefahr, einen Mythos zu lddieren. Ferry: Ich glaube, dass wir als Band durchaus in der Lage sind, die hohen Erwartungen zu erf|llen. Die Leute werden eine bessere Band sehen als je zuvor, und auch der Sound wird alles vorherige in den Schatten stellen. Obwohl: Ich denke, dass die Originalbesetzung von 1973 eine sehr gute war - mit hervorragenden Musikern wie John Porter oder Brian Eno. WamS: Was empfinden Sie, wenn man Sie mit Photos aus den Siebzigern konfrontiert? Ferry: Ich denke, dass wir ein ziemlich bunter Haufen waren. Unsere Outfits waren zu gleichen Teilen futuristisch wie nostalgisch. Es hatte etwas Provozierendes an sich, mit dem die jungen Leute immer noch etwas anfangen kvnnen. Wenn sich eine Band heutzutage so anziehen w|rde, wdre ihnen die Aufmerksamkeit sicher. Ich meine, die Kids freuen sich doch |ber alles, was anders ist als der Einheitsbrei, der ihnen tdglich serviert wird. WamS: Roxy Music war eine Reaktion auf die Konzeptlosigkeit der spdten Sechziger. Ferry: Richtig. Es ist aus heutiger Sicht schwer nachzuvollziehen. Wir entstanden nicht auf dem Rei_brett irgendeiner Plattenfirma, und es gab auch keinen gro_en Plan hinter der Musik. Was inzwischen als Band bezeichnet wird, ist im Endeffekt nur ein durchkalkulierter Markenartikel. WamS: H|bsche Frauen waren ein roter Faden, der sich durch alle Roxy-Cover zog. Es gab viel Proteste ... Ferry: Das wurde irgendwann zum Selbstldufer. Beim ersten Album fragten wir uns, ob es wirklich nvtig sei, ein Foto der Band auf dem Umschlag zu haben. Eben f|nf Typen, die blvd aus der Wdsche gucken. Warum nicht ein glamourvses Image, wie das eines Pin-up-Mddchens? So einfach war das. WamS: Der britische Radio-Guru John Peel hat Ihr Comeback mit den Worten kommentiert, dass es durchaus seinen Reiz hdtte, eine Band wie Roxy Music in seinem lokalen Gemeindehaus zu sehen. Ferry: Das ist ein verdammt cleverer Kommentar f|r jemanden, der sein Geld mit Hundefutterwerbung verdient, aber vielleicht sollten wir ihm den Gefallen tun und dort spielen. WamS: Welchen Luxus werden Sie sich auf Tour gvnnen? Irgendeine besondere Verpflegung? Ferry: Das ist streng geheim! Aber mal ehrlich: Ich glaube nicht, dass es besonders luxurivs ausfallen wird. WamS: Und wie wild darf man sich den damaligen Touralltag vorstellen? Ferry: Wild? Wir hatten nicht mal ein anstdndiges Catering, sondern mussten nachts in die Hotelk|chen einbrechen, um die K|hlschrdnke leer zu fressen. Also kein Vergleich zu den gro_en Rock-Bands wie Led Zeppelin, die eine Orgie nach der anderen feierten. Das Gesprdch f|hrte Marcel Anders.

I wouldn't argue against that. I've never really liked "Boys and Girls", I always thought that it would have made a nice EP, but as albums go it doesn't get much play time from me. Heck, I didn't even like the art work all that much either.

The band was Paul Thompson, Chris Spedding, Phil Manzanera, John Wetton, Ann O'dell, Mel Collins, Martin Drover and Chris Mercer. I'm fairly sure that was the complete band....can anyone else remember? Scotty Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

While I do really like Mr. Ferry's covers, and two of the songs on Bride are amongst my favorites ("The Same Old Blues" and "That's How Strong My Love Is"), I really like the original songs that come out of that "weird land of the lost." Each song is peculiar in its own way. And how can anyone resist the 1-2 punch of "One Kiss" followed by "Love Me Madly Again?" From the bittersweet of "clumsily playing for time/without words some things you can only feel" to the hopeless hope of "and should we meet again/uncertain out of reach/on the other side of time," it's 10 minutes of perfect loss, unrequited love, and fruitless obsession. Ferry's not dark in that political and social way that Mr. Rotten is, for he was much to busy aping that lifestyle, and now that he's part of it, well, mustn't bite the hand that feeds you. And he's not dark in that tedioud "everything sux" way. It's a smaller, more personal darkness, and one I think some of us have felt at times in our life. Radiohead was there a few years back, but that's the closest I can come to come to a parallel (don't even .start. with that Scott whatever guy, OK). Some things you can only feel, indeed.

Yes. Agreed. Wasn't Ferry living out his long-held fantasy of Americana during his LA sojourn around this time? And discovering to his disappointment that a diet of saccharine leaves you feeling ultimately empty. But there are more prosaic reasons for the quality of this period. Like many here I have seen video footage or witnessed all periods of Ferry's career, and consider that his performance levels were never higher than at the 75-78 Siren/LST/IYM/BSB period. These vocals were not the forced theatricality of early Roxy; the faux croonery of TFT and ATAP; the 'one octave too high' late Roxy efforts; the lost in the mix solo-career lounge-lizardry, or the fragile and sometimes unreliable instrument currently touring the globe. In particular the Japanese 'Young Music Show' 1977 TV appearance, showed Ferry as a uniformed colossus, confident to the brink of cockiness, performing material he wrote and believed in, with a voice he could have complete faith in, backed by a talented and rocky band. Spedding and Manzo in tandem (and in a more appropriate lead/rhythm combo), the solidity and reliability of the Thompson/Wetton axis, a funky horn section and the very underestimated arrangements and playing of Ann Odell. It's a joy to watch. How I would have loved to have witnessed that tour first-hand.
