I would hope that it will be nearer to a full show than Ferry's "Live in Paris" disc which took too long to reach the market and lacked any special features that give DVD an edge over VHS. Sadly the forces of commercialisim will probably dictate that it will feature more of the letter period singles rather than the more hard core favoured obscurities. I really do hope that I'm wrong on this one, but only time will tell.

It will be interesting to see how the set changes during the rest of the tour. I'sure that there will still be a couple of surprises to come. Looking forward to the new Glasgow and Manchester dates, September can't come quick enough. I doubt if these will be the final shows, unless they can't get a London venue at the required time. What will be of more interest though is what happens after the tour, will they do anything in the studio or will they do some shows in the summer of next year? I'd like to think that if they are going to call it a day that thet would finish off with a hand full of open air shows similar to Ferry's from last year, one can only hope.

This pretty well sums up my own feelings on Siren (but Bowie didn't really figure for me). The songs were good, but I remember thinking that, compared to the first four albums, the sonic context had homogenized, straightened out. It was a rock record, of which there were always plenty about. And that's not what I wanted from Roxy. Now, with a more mature and less (or differently) emotionally-engaged outlook (the "betrayal", the "how could they do this to me?" most keenly felt by me in the debacle that was F+B), I play Siren more often than I used to. I respond more to the songs because I'm older now, I've suffered more, I understand.

Sounds good, it doesn't surprise me for Glasgow Manchester wasn't quite sold out last time. So it's pretty good going if they've managed to sell a lot of tickets in such a short space of time.

A fine band, Squeeze, whose work in the early '80's eclipses much of Roxy and Ferry.

Hello All John Dillon here in New York City & The Roxy Music World Tour 2001* I hope all of you are well and in good spirits or you at least have good spirits in hand. Please pardon my former missive sent in error, but I did not think most would want to hear how it took me over 90 %#@ minutes (i.e. Over Tokyo) to get from the Silver Beach area of Troggs Neck, NY to the George Washington Bridge as I made my way to the Philly Show on Thru night. Suffice to say Camden was simply double plus good fantastic! That is despite insane Bronx, NY & Holland Tunnel traffic and everything that damn Jersey Turnpike could throw in our way! But meeting fellow Avalon brethren was the true icing. Thank you all. Sorry but E-Mail on the road though Mindsprings Web Portal is wretchedly awkward to use but a full Camden Review should come soon. Do not miss these shows because ..There IS a New Sensation! All the Best Regards John Dillon * Which, by now, I am sure you all know, is an utter pleasure to type! ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2001 03:25:52 -0400 From: "Alan Carl" Subject: [AVALON] 2nd Boston show-how they blew our minds(long review) So Roxy Music came back to Boston Saturday July 21 for their second show,or really,their first show...this was the first show for which tickets went on sale and so,...and so tonight they showed why we need to leave our (dream)home stereo entertainment centers and venture forth to listen to music live. The show started at 9:15 with a longer clip from South Downs,then the party chatter,which appeared to be echoed,or was it the echo of the chatter of,what appeared to be a capacity crowd.Chatter,chatter-then Re-Make/Re-Model. Something seemed off,though,and Bryan,who starts the song upstage on the keyboards,didn't appear to time coming down correctly. He seemed to laugh as he did make his way down,and there were enough of us in the audience to keep the chant of "CPL593H". Things seemed to tighten up as the set went on.Street Life..good and the audience was up for it.. It looked like the set would be the same,and Bryan,who has a stand with what can only be assumed is the song lists(and words?)would turn pages as the songs continued. Ladytron-audience loves it,great hand for Phil. While My heart Is Still Beating-crowd cheer even when the song begins. Out of the Blue-an even better version tonight..seems longer,too.But it's clearer,sharper as well.Lucy is loudly cheered when the song ends. A Song For Europe-sure,we're Americans,but we still sway back and forth, enthralled by his voice,even when it seems to get lost near the end(must have been some American sound engineer saying ,hey that's not English,cut that sound) My Only Love-Again,seemed longer than the last show,can't say for sure,but very good nonetheless.And the crowd continues it's habit of giving a standing cheer at the end of a song(then demurely sitting down for the next song-with a few standing up and dancing ) Then,what spooky sound is that? Someone sitting near me who I had been talking to before the show asks,is that Dream Home?..Yes!,I cry.In every Dream Home a Heartache had been added to the set.Swirling red images on the back screen only heightened the real creepiness to this song.It was great.I think Bryan knew not enough people would be familiar with the killer line in the song,so he sang it, but I saw quite a few jump up and shout it with him-"but you blew my mind". Oh Yeah-Probably the first real sing along song of the night,this song was a real hit on Boston radio,and has real emotional resonance with the crowd,everyone stands and cheers at the end--and stays standing for Both Ends Burning,which is both a fun song,as well as a real hoot for people as they realize that,hey,there are go-go dancers up on the stage.Bryan tries to play a harmonica(?) during this song.Laughs and puts it away when it's obvious the sound isn't getting picked up.Song gets a huge ovation Tara-sometimes you wish the crowd would make more noise,sometimes you wish that people would go silent-and the latter would be my wish during this beautiful song. Avalon-another song that is much better tonight-plus the move to Dance Away is much better.And people love Dance Away,singing along with the "dance away,dance away" part,standing and swaying back and forth;and then the cheering starts for the next song-Jealous Guy.John Lennon is still remembered and loved. Editions of You-crowd is really dancing now--some dance pogo style,not much room for anything else.And we all do the "wooo". (no Virginia Plain)Everyone on stage seems very happy with the response tonight..so there's more! Love Is the Drug-arms of the crowd pump out as we all sing,"Love is,love is the drug" Do the Strand-Bryan is having a great time,and seems to give the feathered dancers an especially long lingering leer as he accepts the crowd's applause at the end(you naughty boy!) For Your Pleasure--yes,we were pleased. Few more notes--so obvious that the crowd was so much better than Tuesday,that Bryan seemed to play with us..taking those extra big, showy kind of bows, repeatedly.And then cupping his hand to his ear to get the crowd to roar even louder,or going off to the sides to get those people into the action--and they stood and roared back their approval of that move. Even the weather was perfect-the stage and most of the seats are covered by a big tent,but if it's raining it's just kind of miserable at this facility.A fairly hot day led to a warm evening,with gorgeous views of the harbor for all to see as we walked around before the show. I have it as a 95 minute set.I loved it.And I think they loved the response from the crowd. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V6 #321 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
