The setlist was fab mixing a few of BFs better solo tracks with the cream of Roxy's output - an ideal 90 minutes for a festival crowd. I also think his current band with a whole host of new members has given the music a new lift - although Messers Good and Ollie T had been at the heart of previous incarnations of Roxy and Ferry live shows and done some good stuff, it was all getting a bit samey - the new people have fitted in well and bring a nice touch and vibrancy to their playing. Jorja has got AM's sax down to a T and Cherisse is proving a more than adequate replacement for TGPT and Andy Newmark. And only two backing vocalists - hurrah. What was particularly pleasing was that songs like RM/RM, Ladytron, IEDH, Stronger and Editions sound as fresh now as they did back in the day. My only complaint is Same Old Blues - I know Ferry loves soul but I have never thought this is a Ferry song in way at all bin it Bryan I just hope the new album when it appears reflects this injection of new blood and doesn't fall back on the old time regulars.
