Soetemann" Subject: how to cook up a setlist (was: Re: [AVALON] paris pictures?) I assume many artists do not select their songs/pieces to be played with primary regard to their lyrics. Personal favourites, both lyrically ('The Only Face' springs to mind) and musically (maybe Boys & Girls on the current tour?) manage to sneak in, and on both the 'Frantc' and the ATGB tour, Ferry has dug out some of the less famous material. But I doubt whether allusions within lyrics play a role as to whether to include/exclude certain tracks on a tour. So he does not add 'A Song For Europe' in Paris, for example, and probably doesn't reconsider the words to LST either. The relations between an artist's life and his/her work are often very difficult to decipher - and to enjoy the music, you don't have to, mostly. Many other aspects can play a role when songs are selected for possible inclusion: Can this line-up play it well? Is it voice-economical on a night-to-night basis? Do musicians have to switch instruments too often? Does it make the set too long? Too short? Does this track shake up the flow of the running order? Does it sit well next to the other tracks? Are there tracks from the new album? Enough hits? A few of the more esoteric pieces? Some personal favourites? I reckon whether Bryan keeps LST, JG, LITD &c. in the set because he knows very well he HAS to play them, as many casual listeners come to the concerts to hear the hits. This is more of a rational & economic decision. Around the 'Taxi'/'Mamouna' period, Ferry mentioned in an interview that he tried to write some hit singles around the late 70s/early 80s, but that he didn't really like them. And he mentioned 'Dance Away' as example! As we all know, this song featured prominently during the Roxy tour and was to be heard during solo concerts as well.

What can I say. Absolute brilliance!!!. He still has the voice, the power and the emotion. I would recommend it to anyone with no hesitation. In comparsion to Mr Ferry's latest contribution, FRANTIC, Mr Gabriel's CD wipes the floor. Far superior. Having said this, I feel that, if Mr Ferry had stuck to the format of ALPHAVILLE, which is, in my own opinion, also superior to FRANTIC, then maybe I would have had two excellent albums instead of one brilliant (UP) and one mediocre (FRANTIC). Also, just to add to my last mail to Avalon, I hope Mr Gabriel decides to tour Australia, if Mr Ferry is not. At least then I would not be totally disappointed in 2003. Michael. NP.

Paula http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=49621210&p=496zy9y6 Ferry admits doubts ahead of Roxy Music reunion 29/09/2002 - 10:27:21 Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry has said he did have some doubts about staging the bandbs reunion tour and insisted it was not a money-spinning exercise. The 57-year-old, who is best remembered for the 1976 hit Letbs Stick Together, said he was concerned about how to put on the show with bdignityb. But he believed the decision was vindicated the moment the band started playing again. He told the Sunday Mirror M Celebs magazine: bI know people turn up their noses at reunions and I think a lot of reunions are embarrassing. bBut I knew as soon as we started rehearsing that the concerts would be great. The audience made it succeed because some people had waited 18 years to see us.b Ferry, the son of a coal miner who forged his music career while studying art at Newcastle University, set up Roxy Music in 1970. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Avalonians on tour 2002: http://helios.unive.it/~tcecilia/meetup.html US ticket sale info: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ (updated weekly) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2002 11:49:02 -0500 From: "Paula Brown" Subject: [AVALON] Just Like You JOB, thanks for the great news about "Just Like You." It almost offsets the blow about Hiroshima being removed, but not quite. I want it all. "Just Like You" is one of my top five Roxy songs, I do believe, one of his most impassioned works, and rarely is the sentimental/self-mocking dichotomy more evident. In history, if one were to find an example for the class of the elements which set Roxy Music at the forefront of the greatest era in rock n roll, "Just Like You" might well be cited as an important work melding decadence, sentimentality, romance, and classic elements of tragicomedy while providing a lyrical snapshot of the fashions and mores of the edge of an era. It's hard to find a song where the major instruments are introduced more effectively as well, the perfect roll in on the drums, the soaring guitar, and the piano weaving it all together. A mood perfectly established, a love song perfectly delivered, an art perfectly wrought.

Some personal favourites? And hopefully such considerations never will. I can think of few things worse than themed setlists. I'd take it as an insult to my intelligence as an audience member: that instead of being able to enjoy a concert for all of the things Christian lists in the following paragraph--and others--instead we'd be subjected to the equivalent of a guided bus tour of famous sites (and sights). > Many other aspects can play a role when songs are selected for possible > inclusion: Can this line-up play it well?

Not that he did it badly, which he didn't, but that I'd have preferred Ferry doing something else, which he has now done with the Roxy tour and Frantic.

"One mans Drink is another mans Poison" But congratulations for thinking that Gabriel ever had power in his voice...personally I could never stand the guy. That's not to say he isn't brilliant to some people, I know he has a huge following, but I could never agree that Gabriel could ever match Ferry in any of their current or previous output.I do agree with you that Gabriel tours Australia this year.......Maybe he could find himself a little land, build a homestead and retire from the music business "Here's hoping" Mark. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Walker" To: Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2002 2:19 PM Subject: [AVALON] Ferry 'v' Gabriel > Hi, > > Being a member of a few Genesis groups as well as Roxy Music, I was interested > in the comments made about Peter Gabriel's new CD "UP" , that I bought a copy > today. > > What can I say.

Was half-watching Turner & Hooch on TV this afternoon (whilst reading the new Tom Clancy novel) and noticed that when Hooch (the dog - and a waaaaay more expressive actor than Tom Hanks) trashes Hanks' house, one of the albums he wrecks is "Boys & Girls". Anybody else noticed any Bryan-trashing in other movies? BTW - Jocelyn - please save some of the fun for Oct 23rd!!!

It's fantastic. "My Head Sounds Like That" is beautiful. "The Barry Williams Show" is ingenious. I want to hear it again and again. I haven't felt like that since "In Your Mind." 2002 has really been a good year for music. Fez had his best album since '78. Bowie's getting rave reviews and Gabriel has put out an exceptional album. I love it! Michael Walker wrote:Hi, Being a member of a few Genesis groups as well as Roxy Music, I was interested in the comments made about Peter Gabriel's new CD "UP" , that I bought a copy today. What can I say. Absolute brilliance!!!. He still has the voice, the power and the emotion. I would recommend it to anyone with no hesitation. In comparsion to Mr Ferry's latest contribution, FRANTIC, Mr Gabriel's CD wipes the floor. Far superior. Having said this, I feel that, if Mr Ferry had stuck to the format of ALPHAVILLE, which is, in my own opinion, also superior to FRANTIC, then maybe I would have had two excellent albums instead of one brilliant (UP) and one mediocre (FRANTIC). Also, just to add to my last mail to Avalon, I hope Mr Gabriel decides to tour Australia, if Mr Ferry is not. At least then I would not be totally disappointed in 2003. Michael. NP.
