Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music - imitated, never duplicated.
One of the classic bands this morning.
Roxy Music, recorded live in concert on May 16, 1979 by the venerable
BBC as part of their In Concert series.
A consistently good and inventive band, Roxy Music have weathered a lot of musical changes since they got started. Throughout all this time they’ve maintained a strong and individual style. Certainly a springboard for a lot of musical talent, who have gone off to enjoy successful solo careers (
Brian Eno being the most notable), Roxy Music have always been highly regarded by the Press and audiences alike. And because of that, they have retained a freshness that makes this concert, recorded in 1979 as relevant as if it were recorded last week.
I seriously doubt there is anyone who doesn’t know who they are. But in the odd event there are a few of you who are scratching your heads - give this one a listen.
As for the rest of you - enjoy.
