I had to physically tear myself away to not comment on my other Roxy 'anniversaries' of Oct 8,9,10,(1975) and 23,24,25.(1974)- Glasgow Gigs in the 70s, the lot of them. But I can't let this one go, without some sort of comment. 28 years ago this very day, November 2nd, 1973. Box L, seats 1 to 7, don't ya know, the entire Box between our little Glaswegie Roxy squad. I had seat 1, just above and to the right of Jobson. The Glasgow Apollo. Roxy on the road again, the Stranded tour. A cold Friday night in Glasgow, and this was in the days when I used to watch support acts. This was different, who the hell is this ? A guy no-one had heard of, on he comes, in a clown outfit. Eh ? He was great, and the crowd really warmed to him, Leo Sayer of course, and his first hit was but a couple of weeks or so away. He was promoting the Silverbird Album (very good songs on it, really !) and went down a storm. As for Roxy, class oozed. I remember being surprised they began with the single, Street Life. Tuxedoed Ferry strolls on, during the intro. Eddie was the new boy, and impressed, with mean keys and perspex violin pyrotechnics. Anyone have other memories of the Stranded Tour ? It became a massive event at the Rainbow, London, some weeks later, military style insignia drapes, and a male voice choir for Psalm, to boot. Would like to hear about it. Any of you lot out there attend ? Reecey...

This would be with the understanding that the name-calling post you sent in partial support of eman's rants and adding to the unpleasantness would have been rejected, correct? Let's face it--none of us are perfect. All mailing lists and USENET newsgroups have squabbles from time to time. It's the nature of the beast. Avalon is not special, and folks have been squawking at each other, flouncing off the list, flouncing back on, and generally acting like human beings, albeit with varying degrees of vitriol, since the list was started. Personally I have no interest in a moderated forum since I belive an unmoderated one allows for the best mix of conversation since postings are not subject to the whims of moderators and free expression is encouraged. I do have an interest in this mailing list returning to the topic at hand, however. I am sorry that William's time in providing evidence from the archives seems to have been misspent to certain regard, but perhaps the best solution is not to impose moderation from without but instead moderation from within. If one wants a moderated mailing list, it's easy enough to set up via yahoogroups.com. If you build it and people are interested, they will come. If not, perhaps we should not fan flames, adopt Heather's suggesting of shunning, and return to our regular programming.

I prefer 801 Live to Manchester. I find the playing just a little more thrilling on the first album. Hull sounds to me like it might challenge 801 Live, except that it has the worst sonic quality of any commercial release that I have ever heard. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 16:10:17 +0100 From: "Roger van dorp" Subject: [AVALON] re re ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 09:13:53 -0600 From: "T.

(I had been waiting for someone to alert the masses when it would be released and available.) I cannot wait to get my hands on it and hear BF's version of 'Dont be Cruel". While I dont expect it to surpasss the Kings version, it will be the next best thing. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 10:19:13 EST From: Helchat@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Trivia to bring this list back to Roxy Music...

Precise and suggestive at the same time, following the "what you see is what you get" thread as well as referring ironically to the good old philosophical statement of identity, A=A.

Wish I knew, Richard. This list is wonderful in the absence of these abnormal rants. Tricky - how does the list rid itself of persona so disruptive without squelching the fine and subtle nature of this list. Ignore the persona historically doesn't work - they may drop out for a while, then come back, sometimes under different names and email. It is difficult to track an individual like that. Hint: The person has a bit of internet savvy, forges email headers and addresses. I hope everyone is very careful, do not to open any email attachments without first verifying authenticity, get a current virus detection program and effective firewall to aid in your protection. There have been numerous attempts to hack into my system since July, and I have received several email attachments that contained executable files since then, too. Please be aware and on guard with respect to the angry, hateful, and destructive persona that have residence on our list. Best wishes to all.
