As decades go, that was a quick one. As I write this, it's around 8.45pm, 9th June 2011. 10 Years ago to this very minute, at the Point, Dublin, Ireland, 9th June 2001, so, so many of us were sat in incredible nervous anticipation - I would even use the word 'terrified' - at what was to come. Would they be amazing ? Would it be a let down ? What will they play ? We knew absolutely nothing. Roxy Music came back to life, at this minute, 10 years ago today. Notes could not spell out the score. I think I'll be watching the Tour DVD tonight.. :) Happy Anniversary all !

Well commemorated Mr Reece, I hadn't realised. But now I remember the excitement of realising Re-Make/Re-Model was opening the show; the curtains drawing back... and then trying to suss out the orientation of the band - where was Ferry? (Democratically behind a keyboard). It was then I started to think it was going to be special, something really special (it was!). The rest of the show is a blur but I remember the gasps amongst us at the stage front (thanks to the ATGB tour for getting us into training for that!) as we realised they were starting For Your Pleasure... and then each member departing. Good times indeed, spent so well. Forever grateful, one of the highlights of my life. Thanks guys.

Good call Johnny. I remember the day so well. The whole day at work in Florida I was as excited as a child on Christmas morning because I knew at home there would be a fantastic present waiting for me. I had cold Bass Ale waiting in the frig. I grabbed one and sat down in front of the PC. I still remember that I literally popped the top as I logged in and there it was: The first review with the first set list of the first Roxy Music show in nearly 20 long years. Thank you Mr. ObB., getting the first review with a full set list on the web before the whole world was the bomb. The Roxy Music Re-union Tour was on and the bHalcyon Daysb were about to begin. Thanks and Best to allb&..
