Another thing that adds to the cost is the lack of notice, and that is something that should be in Roxy's control. I live on the North Coast of Scotland so even the Glasgow show is 6 hours drive away, Birmingham is closer to Glasgow than where I am. Going to somewhere like London can be relatively cheap if I know well in advance as booking a flight can cost around the same price as the Hammersmith tickets if I book 4-6 weeks before, any less time than that then the plain ticket can soon more than double in price. I have booked my concert tickets for Hammersmith just to ensure good seats but I don't know if I will be able to go because I have to organise work around that. By the time I do that and know for certain I am going it will be 2 weeks before the show and then the plane ticket is around #170. If I knew of the show 2 weeks ago, work would be arranged and I would be booking my plane ticket now at #60. So Roxy might not be responsible and in control of the price of tickets, but any little bit of help they could offer is not there. Even if we knew the city and date in advance then we could work around that. N.P.

In turn, a secretary, a soldier in the Venetian army, a preacher, an alchemist, a gambler, a violinist, a lottery directory, and a spy, Casanova was widely celebrated in Europe and had many confidences and friendships with various royalty of the day. He retired when 60 years old to write his memoirs recounting his adventures and love affairs. The term "casanova" is defined as a "man engaging in promiscuous love affairs". "You - the hero so many times you've loved and didn't linger". This is the essence of casanova's existence - his lifestyle; a conqueror, seduce the subject and then move on. "Now my finger points at you - another loser". Casanova won again, he seduced the subject, conquered the conquerable. "You - an island on your own complete in every detail monumental a precious jewel or just a fool". Casanova has it all, needs no one, needs nothing. He is bigger than life, itself. He also has a self doubt - maybe self-sufficiency isn't 'where it's at'. Perhaps he subconsciously knows his lifestyle is ultimately undesirable. "Innovator it's in your mind and blood I watch it simmer". Casanova's conscious self perception: Native to self, he is crafty, driven and passionate. He is a (pathetic) controller and must conquer. "I see you're courting more despair no hope? Not a glimmer". He has chosen his mark. She hasn't a chance, he will win. He knows he will win because he knows she is a player, too. "Now you're nothing but second hand in glove with second rate. Now you're flirting with heroin - or is it cocaine?" The mark, seduced, is now yesterday's news. And yesterday's news is undesirable, presents no challenge and is discarded. Discarded to tease lesser casanovas, and to be the conquest of second-rate 'lovers'. She courts another (and it matters not which other) to satisfy her addiction to being sought after, chased - hunted, seduced. Native to self, she needs to be wanted and desired. "Casanova - is that your name" Ferry asks, are you a womanize, a habitual casanova, the conqueror, the hero. "Or do you live there?" Or, Ferry asks, are you the 'place' where casanovas go: Are you their alter, their place of worship, accommodating casanova while fulfilling your own pathetic need. "I know my place is here with you tonight but not together". Casanova needs conquest, and conquest needs to be conquered. Independently, they are codependent. They need each other for the moment. They cannot exist alone (hand in glove). And, they cannot exist together, 'as one'. Richard Evans' take on the two styles presented by each recorded version of 'Casanova' seems spot on - diabolical. The second version on 'Let's stick Together' has always made me think of Peter Pan and Tiger Lily at a tribal dance! Best wishes to all, and all a good day!

Well for starters Grant if you actually bothered to read what I had posted you may have noticed that it was an observation, not a complaint. It's just a pity that having obviously felt so hard done by that you have to bring up a posting from about six weeks ago only to make such a hash of your attack. I'll give you four marks out of ten for trying with a "could do better if you pay attention" in the margin.

Prompted by 'last chance' to see Roxy, or, peer group pressure - absolutely. I cringe at the thought of people maxing out their credit cards, spending their life's savings, selling their jewelry to attend multiple shows. It is a matter of personal priorities to an extent, and I am no one to impose a judgment upon their prioritization. But, in good conscience, I feel it is not only OK, it is important, to suggest each person re-examine their motivation on this matter. Philip, I think your questions and observations are quite valid and, hopefully, useful. Best wishes.

I'm with Tom on this one - these are all observations on (extortionate) ticket prices Anyway, I'm sorry Grant, but I don't understand why the band "obviously" have to recoup their "losses". My guess is that they could have still made money on the Hammersmith shows, with regular ticket prices. I think that "greed" is a better definition Aleks P.S I guess that bands like Oasis who are playing smaller venues (at 23 pounds/ticket) will have a lot of "loss recouperation" to do...

Phil Manzanera will play the guitar he smashed in Santiago - he's been gluing it together to pass the time spent traveling from gig to gig.

Julia and Lucy W. will tag team a singing match against Sarah and Yannick. Andy MacKay will finally wear his collar earned at divinity school. Zev Katz will have added at least one more 'z' to his name! And Roxy Music will become hence forth known as 'ZroxZy MuZac' enabling them to tour in perpetuity while honestly claiming that this, indeed, was Roxy Music's final fling! Let's hope none of the above happens.

I didn't mean to seem to be suggesting you sit and hope. I had wished to convey that an optimistic attitude combined with reasonable efforts are often positively productive. If not, at least a positive attitude will help insulate you from sadness should your efforts be unsuccessful. Either way, you win! Best wishes.

Aha... it's all becoming clear now.... Satellite TV stations have the same concept, I think they call it "pay per view" Maybe Roxy are become the first "pay per view" band, in which case, I'd guess that London will get an extended 2 hour show...

I've ensconced it in my archives of SOTW musings so it can be a legacy for generations to come!;-) Seriously, your analysis is right on the mark. Perhaps it points to the theory that Bryan had a parody of himself in mind, if it even goes beyond historical interpretation. The line, "Casanova--is that your name? Or do you live there?" IMHO is referring to "casa nova" translating into "new house" in Latin, and I never saw it as much more than a throwaway line. (But we know about them!)
