Do you know that the eBay-offered show is the same edit that was treed, with Han's mastering and/or the "This is Roxy Music" artwork?

It's been discussed several times on the list--which of course isn't to say that it can't be discussed again since there's always a new twist, and with the new folks, it'll be especially interesting--and perhaps someone who has related posts might repost them.

You should be aware the "Roxy" is a line of clothing aimed at teenage girls, particularly of the surfer variety. There was even the "Roxy" car (Geo metro?) that was mentioned on list a few weeks back -- unfortunately, all to do with the clothing and not related at all to Bryan and friends.

The site's content is dedicated to Bryan Ferry and his hometown, Washington. What I find delightful about her site is its uniqueness. There are no stats, no anorak displays, only pictures and narration about, well, about Bryan Ferry and his beginnings. Audrey grew up in Washington but relocated to her current home in Australia. She recently updated her site with a review and photos she took at the Adelaide 17 Aug 2001 Roxy Music concert. I hope some of you will take time from your busy schedules and stop by her neighborhood for an idea about BF's early life and times, and to visit what is clearly a product of love by a lady from 'Down Under'. http://www.geocities.com/pictorialwashingtonuk/BryanFerry.html Thank you, and best wishes to all.

To this day every time Roxy/Ferry breaks into that off key intro, I look up , smile & say "you stupid bastard" Steve np Gary Glitter- Don't Let The Son Go Down On Me Eman 97 wrote: > Whish begs the questions....

It's an attempt to cut down messages on the list which will be of interest only to a very few Avalonians and so we can meet (or avoid!) other list members at those concerts we attend. If you'd like to be included, here's how: 1. You email me off list at Roxy_Tour@squires.nildram.co.uk and let me know which date or dates you'll be at. Alternatively, you can put your details on a web form on the site below, which then is emailed to me. 2. I will put information received up on: http://www.squires.nildram.co.uk/Avalon.html 3. Everybody will then know who's likely to be at each show and can then make contact _off list_ if they so wish. Details of a venue for a pre or post gig meeting can also be posted to the web page via the above address.

Yes, but between this and Jocelyn, I believe "Cry Cry Cry" and "My Little Girl" have now been pretty much given their thorough due, and we're heading into over-analysis territory.

The shortest review yet: yesterday I rang 'em to see what was happening. Obviously got their days wrong ? The Advertiser (23 August 2001) If love is the drug that Roxy Music claims to use, Adelaide fans gave it an overdose last Friday night. As Roxy Music played its raw and heart-felt, stylish yet sleazy ballads at the Entertainment Centre as part of its 50-date reunion tour, the mostly middle-aged fans were on their feet to farewell the lengendary group of the 70s and early-80s. Already given a double-dose of Viagra lovin', courtesy of Michelle Bradford-Jones' support (or perhaps no support) act, the adelaide performance was energetic and passionate. A collection of colourful backgrounds, lights and video effects created the mood, as the Roxy members' presence took effect about five songs in with Both Ends Burning. Then came the classics -- Avalon and the band's cover of John Lennon's Jealous Guy , with the pinacle Love is the Drug. Saxophonist Andy MacKay, singer Bryan Ferry, drummer Paul Thompson and the additional seven musicians were at their best. 3020102 This message and any attachment is confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

I thought Balthazar (who used to lurk here) had renamed it "FLIM" and resurrected it...but now I can't find it. It was a great resource and interesting to read as well. > PS Colleen: the SOTW used to always run over a week so I was wondering > of you thought a week was long enough? It's a good question--it's all meant to encourage discussion, so if the discussion is still going strong after a week, there's no reason a song can't be "held over by popular demand."
