Well Guy, I am glad that yourgoodself and others like it (Goodnight Irene) I haven`t listened to it for a while so I am playing it again as I write. I have tried really hard to see if it warrants any artistic merit whatsoever. Instead all I hear is a wholly predictable mournful dirge with someone wailing in the background. I cannot for the life of me understand how it "fits in" on an otherwise extremely good album of which I consider to be, on balance, possibly his best solo work to date. It also intriuges me as to what Mr F. himself finds so good about the song. It will be interesting to say the least of how the song comes over on "Jools".

It's a great song and I think serves the same role on this collection as Carrickfergus on TBSB. I'd go further and say I really like Ja Huns Non Pris (sp?) which, when explained as Ferry did on Jonathan Ross, makes perfect sense as an intro to the next track. I think they are both beautiful. By the way, I have edited the interview (either side of a national news break. etc) onto a CD-R. It's just about (not quite) 30 minutes long. Anyone interested in getting a copy, please e-mail me OFFLIST. Lastly, I have to disagree with Keith who thinks Ferry's voice just gets better with time. Sorry, I am as excited about him now as ever, but Ferry's voice now is muffled, mumbling and weak compared to the voice that veritably exploded on Virginia Plain. You might argue his style has developed, but it's not the swooping virtuoso that it used to be.

I rushed to answer it and it was the postman. The poor man must have thought he'd called at the house of a mad woman as I was still in a rather grubby dressing gown (which has since been washed I hasten to add) and the oil which I'd rubbed into my hair the previous night and hadn't bothered to comb since wasn't improving my appearance. When I then proceeded to babble excitedly at him that I was SO happy to see him and SO thrilled that the parcel had arrived because I'd been waiting SO long for it, I'm sure he was wishing himself elsewhere - preferably a very long way away. As he backed away from me, I snatched the package out of his hand, slammed the door and ripped it open to find my copy of the DVD signed by Phil Manzanera, and my free baseball cap. Deciding not to wear the hat, a wise decision I feel, I put the DVD in the machine and watched it right through spotting a lot of very familiar faces (including my own!!) both on and off stage and also the infamous Ferry undergarment making a guest appearance. I thought they'd edit it out somehow but Rickmond's banner features rather prominently during Do The Strand, and if they wanted the banner they had to have the underwear I guess. We watched it again last night on the surround sound with the DTS Audio, and it really is excellent - I'm trying not to be biased here, honest. I saw so many people I know either in real life or virtually: the usual suspects in the front row of course, the Dutch - I saw you Ed Stobelaar, Andy Langley - your head is in so many shots I lost count, Isaac Ferry's there as well, in fact I couldn't decide whether to watch the audience or the band. But I'm a bit confused. They must have used footage from the Monday night as well because sometimes the audience doesn't match up with who I know was standing in various places and sometimes Bryan's wearing a belt and sometimes he's not (the cause of the escaping underwear?) - or am I imagining this? Better go and watch it again just to make sure!! And, yes, the documentary's FAR too short but still nice to have.

I thought it was all from Tuesday, it's just camera angles throwing out your perspective of where people are actually standing. I thought Esther (from Holland for those of you who don't know her) stole the show! I'm also very pleased to see Andrew Langley down at the front as he was one of the unlucky ones unceremoniously bumped out of their brilliant seats to make way for the cameras, with little more than a pat on the head and the promise of a free DVD as compensation. And the belt's always there Jane, just slipped up and off the trousers. I know you'll find this very hard to do but force yourself to freeze frame on the Ferry derriere and you'll see. I think it was Reecey who also noticed that they've very cleverly engineered slipping in the correct first two lines on Mother of Pearl which were hashed on the night. And doesn't Thommo look like he is having a ball! Loved the documentary, but wanted more. I really hope this gets an American release, if not, we've got some helping out on our hands (says the techno nerd who doesn't even have a CD burner!).

Count me in, Guy - I love that song. I couldn't imagine before hearing it quite what Ferry would manage with it but he more than does it justice. It staggers drunkenly between sorrow and joy but underneath there's real bitterness (though Ferry sings "I'll see you in my dreams" and Leadbelly tends to use "I *get(s)* you in my dreams"). Robert (roxysiren) has pointed out in the past on this list how well its resolution - "I'm going to take morphine and die" - fits into the general album flow, Leadbelly's morphine turning into some unconscious blade runner's "neon wind... a thousand suns". Back to the future. Two songs so different in their sound but thematically entwined, as are Ja Nun Hons Pris and A Fool for Love. It's hard to believe that it isn't much liked; even some of the music press reviews had positive things to say about it. (I admit to having had a bit of trouble with Brian Wilson's version, though. :) B ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 13:00:32 +0100 From: Bahi Subject: [AVALON] Roxy DVD Worth buying a DVD player for, this one, whether or not you attended the tour. It's a great package. You'll find yourself wanting to jump back to certain songs time and time again and here, it's easy. The optional subtitles include the songs' lyrics (not always matching what's sung but probably true to the published versions) and the audio from the very welcome documentary, which includes snippets from the rehearsals and interviews with Phil and Andy. On those old songs, Ferry's now husky, worn voice works unexpectedly well. I saw Roxy on only one date of their tour and on that day, the set list was shorter than usual so this was my first chance to see the 2001 version of For Your Pleasure. I really wasn't expecting it to be as moving as it turns out to be here. The 'old man' voice of 1973 doesn't take nearly much so effort for Ferry these days :) "You watch me walk away," he sighs sadly. He walks away. Mesmerizing. A Song for Europe sheds the last traces of its Eurovision kitsch; there's nothing but poignancy and regret as Ferry sings of all those moments that he'll never find again. "Jamais, jamais..." An unexpected highlight: While My Heart is Still Beating. I was always unsure about this song - loved the music, wasn't sure about the words - but it came to life when Ferry played it in '89. This Roxy performance is simply outstanding (as it was when I heard it played live on a muddy field in Belgium last year), Manzanera's and Mackay's solos, Spedding's atmospherics, the whole of the band - just perfect. A beautiful performance of Roxy songs from all phases. The band are stars, each and every one - audience included :) A great audio mix, too - live, the percussion and the detail were great and I thought some of those things would have been mixed out but they haven't been.

I do like the >other Dylan one though. Have to say that I still like these 2 best (inc the guitar solo on FFL) and now like Baby Blue ... it is San Simeon that doesn't do it for me. I also seem to recall having a Cajun compilation by the title "20 Stomps from the Swamps" which I believe is banned by the rest of the family - so it was easy to win me over with Irene. I agree with Kaye's comments re Taxi's Amazing Grace and (just as bad) All Tomorrow's Parties. Makes you wonder why Irene wasn't used then if it came from these sessions - its clearly a country mile better than either of those two. Though we did get Taxi and I Put A Spell On You which made the album worthwhile. I have a soft spot for this Album as I saw it as the start of the emergence of the Ferry voice once more. (Only to have those hopes dashed by the nadir that was Mamouna) That's why ATGB strikes such a chord with me.Great singing, great songs, great band. At the risk of being controversial (if that last one wasn't ;-) ). I like I Thought, but why all the fuss? Sure Eno was on the best 2 albums that Roxy/Ferry ever did, but just by him being on this does not make it special (for me anyway - and he didn't do anything special on Mamouna) His presence was certainly the focus of far too much media/reviewer attention. A jaunty wee number nonetheless. A mere 3 weeks to Edinburgh 1 ...and counting. This gig was advertised in the Scottish papers again last weekend. Still not sold out?
