The Dortmund CD, "Leben Und Kunst Of Roxy Music" arrived with me today, it is available for distribution now for the Australia and New Zealand Region. Thank you very much, Christian ! As you would expect from an FM radio broadcast it is a high quality recording of the 2001 show in Dortmund. In this particular mix the vocals sound a bit distant (similar to an audience recording), but some of the instruments come through very clear, that is bass, the piano occasionally but especially Phil's guitar solos. I especially enjoyed the spacious sound in the second half of "My Only Love". If you are interested in a copy, contact me at redgum1@bigpond.com . A reminder also that we have a bulletin board and archives for local Avalonians with an emphasis on getting and staying in contact with the local Roxy mob and lists of locally availble concert recordings and artwork (local exchanges cost way less postage). Find it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ausroxy . Most sections are available for general access, but for some reason it is not currantly possible to make the photo section (incl artwork) viewable for non members. To post to the group you'll also need to join up.

Subject: [AVALON] Re: Sun Tribute What tribute did you get for 3hrs? My PBS Masters Sun Records came on at 9pm-off at 11pm & no more than that. Exactly what the paper listed is exactly what I got. It could have shown more of the better people on the album. Blind Lemon? they weren't on the album. That was Johnny Hallyday from Paris with ( Chris Spedding) doing Blue Suede Shoes. Could have left off Tim Palmer & Live also Kid Rock never liked him & how Pam Anderson goes with him, but she was also with the other goon so guess that's the style she likes. I thought Matchbox 20 was good doing Lonely Weekend with Jerry Lee Lewis as Jerry was not on the Album. He sure looked pale & sick , recently he had a heart problem & was in the hospital. Enjoyed the elements of Sun & watching the oldsters , some were still good even today when they were together at the club jamming. But I think it could have been better had they shown more of what was put on the CD. I guess I blinked for those few seconds as I did not see Ferry , a great disappointment, Plus a song that was so Elvis, & no time for it. Producers for you, oh well as long as they used our guy on the CD.

Bryan was standing in a doorway wearing a tannish khaki car coat in suede or courdory with a plaid shirt. He was smiling, yet looked tired. I think he was looking on at a conversation between the singer from Dire Straits and one of the older gentlemen from Sun records. It really sounds like there were 2 or 3 different shows. Someone posted that Paul McCartney was only on for 30 seconds. On the program that I watched he was on very early in the show and he recorded the entire song as it is on the album. I would say that Paul had at least 6 minutes on. Oh well! I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN MORE FOOTAGE RELATED TO THE ACTUAL ARTISTS ON THE ALBUM. I swear they had some small bits of current artists that are not even on tha album.

I think he was >looking on at a conversation between the singer from Dire Straits and one of >the older gentlemen from Sun records. I think the grand sum of his verbal contribution was muttering "dangerous music" in agreement with Mark Knopfler when Knopfler turned to include him in the conversation about how early rock and roll was received. And you're right -- I thought he looked tired also, or perhaps just awkward about being on camera. Does anyone know when this was taped? Was Roxy on tour at the time? I'm also curious if Bryan was at the Memphis location, of if he recorded his bit somewhere else. Anyone? Anyone?? on a sidenote: I was somewhat surprised (and disappointed, it goes without saying) that we saw only that brief snippet of Bryan, since an early promo for the program clearly showed him singing. Guess it didn't make it into the final cut. Now if I were editing the program, of course, it would've included at least one photo of Bry in early Roxy/Elvis mode. >It really sounds like there were 2 or 3 >different shows. ... I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN MORE FOOTAGE >RELATED TO THE ACTUAL ARTISTS ON THE ALBUM. I swear they had some small bits >of current artists that are not even on tha album. Here are my vague impressions, and a caveat: I haven't heard the album, so I'm basing this comment purely on the show last night. Having said that: I thought the best performances were the straightforward covers. But they bored me. As a Sun Records tribute, I'd rather see a compilation of some of the original artists/original recordings. McCartney did a great job, vocally and musically, but I'd rather hear Elvis sing it. What I was hoping for were some covers that either played with the original or somehow added to it. Instead, we were treated to "Live" taking the elegantly understated "I Walk the Line" and turning it into a "Live" epic. They really don't have a clue, do they? In sum, a tribute album like this is a tricky line to walk (no pun intended) -- these are virtually iconic songs. I'm just not quite satisfied with the result. >Did anyone happen to notice >how stoned Jimmy Page looked sitting on a sofa scratching his belly and then >his hand scooted into the front of his pants Al Bundy style. LOL! Absolutely. So I was pleasantly surprised that his (and Plant's) performance was really quite good. Then again, I always thought Led Zepp's blues covers were some of their strongest stuff.

O.k., chalk it up to no coffee: if the show was based on the recording sessions for the CD, which was just released, then it would've been taped at least a year back or so -- and not while Roxy while touring this year, for certain.

I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN MORE FOOTAGE I believe there was only one version of the show; it's just that people's temporal perceptions may be off. One person's minute is another person's hour, &tc. I missed Mr. Ferry's speaking role as I was listening instead of watching for a good part of it. Oh well. I was not impressed with the note-for-note remakes of some of the songs. I mean really, who could improve on these original performances? So why just copy the original performances? That being said, I found myself strangely moved by Live's remake of "I Walk The Line." I like the fact that they had the courage to make the song their own instead of treating it, as so many other drearily did, as a karaoke (sp?) performance, and by doing so, breathed some new life into a dusty museum piece (even if it's a classic and one of my own personal favorites). Speaking of dusty museum pieces, geez louise, everyone on that program was so OLD. And I'm not talking about the original Sun Records musicians, either. I was relieved when Kid Rock turned up and made some noise and had some fun--isn't that what rock and roll is supposed to be about? And isn't making a song your own and having some fun with it some of the things which make Mr. Ferry's covers (_As Time Goes By_ excepted) so special?

How disappointing! In fact only 15 seconds of Paul McCartney and I think maybe a few seconds longer of Kid Rock (who???) So it goes. Eileen In Kew Gardens Folks, were you really expecting to see Bryan on this show? Apparently the filmmakers did not think Bryan was important enough to be shown on the broadcast. Was he even filmed while he was recording? Maybe they thought they had too many British guys as it was and decided to skip the one that is not as well known as the "stars" i.e. McCartney(more than 15 seconds), Page, Plant, Knopfler. They did show Chris Spedding backing up Johnny Hallyday (?). That's about as close of a Roxy connection as we were going to get. Not a bad show. Good to see and hear the history from those who are still alive. Cool music but: Johnny Hallyday. The only way I knew of him was via a book about Jimi Hendrix. When Jimi first arrived in England in 1966, Hallyday asked Jimi to tour with him in France after seeing him at jam session. Apparently the filmmakers though Hallyday was a "name" act just enough to show his contribution to the record. Or maybe they needed to show the "French Connection". I'm sure if Jimi were alive, he'd would have been on that record and on film. Zucchero. He sounded just like Ray Charles. But, who is HE? He gets screen time ( at Abbey Road Studios to boot) but why him? Could someone fill me in on his history? Third Eye Blind, Live, Rob Thomas, Ben Folds Five. WHY???? Just to show a connection to the "younger" generation? What no Brittney or InSync? UGHH!! Wasted film in my opinion. Kid Rock again? He's all over the place ( and Pamela Anderson) these days. What's HIS connection? Interesting that there were no contemporary Black acts filmed nor on the record (?). Okay, Rufus Thomas, but why no Ray Charles, James Brown- contemporaries of some of the Sun artists. They both knew Elvis . What about Robert Cray or Charlie Pride ? Curious. No Bryan again on American television. Par for the course.

Page, Plant . . . > No Bryan again on American television. Par for the course. My take on this disappointment is jealousy. Phil Carson (co-producer of the CD and film) has had a long and close relationship with Zep/Plant-Page. Though Plant liked Roxy, any mention of Ferry in any other than a musical context elicited groans from all in the Zep camp. Robert carried all the Roxy releases to date with him on what turned out to be the last Zep tour. He was rather fond of Dreamhome. I recall comments about Ferry that always smacked of pure envy. Some things never change.

The Artsworld channel listed Brian(sic) Ferry concert at 9.40 pm. I[nfo:Bryan Ferry sings songs from the thirties etc.] Unfortunately, my brother has no subscription to that channel so I missed it. Thought: pity the BBC couldn't have plugged As Time Goes By in the same way they did Swing when you're Winning a week or so ago.

It was not easy to kill, I was told by my technician. I had McAfee, now he has given me Norton. He says it will be safe, if I look for updating once a week. A Norwegian news site tells the title of this BADTRANS is "Re:", pretty neutral! I got the virus from Bryan O'Connor and I remembered his name from this list in July. The mail was entitled "Re: (Avalon) Copenhagen" and my heart made a jump. I have been hoping for something from this concert, as this was the only Roxy concert of my life, so I felt this email like some kind of personal! It had 2 attachments. One of them was entitled "Fun MP3 Copenhagen" I didn't quite like that "Fun", but ten wild horses could not have stopped me from opening this!...and of course, it was fun in Copenhagen! (Try to :-D) I didn't open the one I got from one David Elliot today. Attention Han! This was entitled "An idea for a cd-tree? What do you think?" This was a literal subject you once used, right? I've also got a mail from a seller at eBay, asking me why I sent him an empty mail, but I have not sent him anything for the last two months! So now I wonder... have everyone in my mailbox got this "virus offer"? I am so sorry! Kari PS.. If you are still there Bryan O'Connor! Do you have any MP3s from Copenhagen? I would love to have it, you know!... and I want a CD!....and a video!!......... and more concerts............virus-free! ks ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 08:33:49 +0000 From: "Andrew Shearer" Subject: RE: [AVALON] George Harrison Just heard the sad news that George Harrison has died.
