Roxy Music - Editions of you 

Paul Thompson, the unsung hero of Roxy Music. The energy he brought was incomparable.

Between Ferry's singing, the inane but clever lyrics, Eno's synth solo and Manzanera's buzzsaw riffage, this forecasts everything from punk to new wave to hair metal to Guided by Voices. Unreal. Also, theoretical bullshit aside, this kicks ass to listen to.

Greatest British band ever for me, a real national treasure

More groundbreaking than anything thats in the charts today.

Of the 5000+ people gushing over the video for "Avalon", I'd wager 4975 of their heads would explode watching this.

ENO !!!!!! lollll . he is just too great !! - especially his [quiet] singing at the end,his fabulous mannerisms+ appearance ! obviously been said million times = bryan ferry sure had stylist/personality/glow competition with that one on stage with him!

Superb. Love the way the muppets in the audience have no idea what's going on...... Saw them in Southampton in 1973.

DAVID BOWIE said IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEE A BAND SEE ROXY MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😮✌👊👏👌Nuff said That Was BACK in the Early 70s My TIME ✌g

Roxy belongs in Hall of Fame in my opinion. Trail Blazers.

The whole thing's pretty futuristic. Like from outta' Clockwork Orange or that film w/ Hawkwind.

i cant believe roxy is not in the hall of shame compared to a lot of crap that is in. Shows you what it's worth!

No need to be sorry, that's also one of my favourites. I just think this is a classic album and one that everyone should have in their collection. Cheers.

Seems hard to realise that this was 49 years back.....What a band

Great song, great Eno synth solo.

Eno is amazing. His 1973 solo sounds like synth solos in the 80s (think Devo)

That is the shit. Ferry and Eno are outstanding.

Think the audience had to mutch cheesecake.Half the audience look as if there ready for their bed,did they not realise the genius of Roxy music🎷🎸

My favourite track from the "For Your Pleasure" album.Bought this album back in the 70's and highly recommend it to any true Roxy fans. They where in a different class back then and so original. Go out and add this album/cd to your collection.

I hope something special will step into my life - well that was Roxy Music all them years ago !

Last night I went to see Roxy in Sydney Entertainment Centre with my Dad (Who is 62) and let me tell you, it was an exotic masterpiece & an incredible personal experience for me. 10/10. (:-D (Oh & the dancing background girls were a nice sexy touch) Roxy Music wouldn't have it any other way....

another fine edition of editions of you!

That's a first for me never seen this performance before long time roxy music fan since first album before Virginia plain nice one

Superb version! Thanks

great lyrics. the studio version is fantastic

Only had the chance to see RM live one time. Eno had just left the group and was replaced by Eddie Jobson. AND Roxy was only the warm up band for ...the KINKS! Epic concert!

Shit sound but worth it for the performance. Eno only played on the first two albums but left such a huge imprint. I was always the only guy in my school who even knew who the hell they were. Go USA.

i fell in love with this version

Great song. If only the sound quality could be better...

Superb song , great band !

LOL Top of the Pops avoided showing Eno at all when Roxy performed Virginia Plain in 1972. For a few seconds one saw a close up of gloved hand playing a keyboard. I thought this show was going to do the same.For nearlythe first two minutes he is not shown oris in deep shadow. Finally, his synthesizer break begins, and the camera still doesn't show him. Then, we at last do get a glimpse, but most of him is hidden by an amp. THEN, FINALLY, we do get to see him full frontal. Thanks, Mr. Producer man.

The ENO has landed!

So original, chic and charming.

this poppin art

Roxy Music have a touch of weirdness

Why are there no comments for this.? Seems a very rare, early performance. Fantastic stuff. Checkout Eno's costume!! ...Brilliant and hilarious.

Best pop song of 73

Pre punk as well

Awesome!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now i found another yea love this saw the play it at the Apllo in Glasgow 70,s

wtf is with the audience in this vid? Have they no idea that this is the best thing that will ever happen to them??

I w in te Navy but I never got to see he Northern Lights. Perhaps this summer in the mountaints north in Vermont !!!!

Back in the day when we went to the better record store that had imports - we saw the first Roxy Music LP - we asked the "head" at the store what is sounded like. He said a cross between Elvis and Pink Floyd. We said "That's It!!!" Glad I got to see them twice but w/Jobson, was still super great.

Yep, this is pretty good stuff.

Much better versions of this great classic soung out there.

Boys will be boys will be boy-o-yoy-yoys

MORE!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎

Awesome.. pity the sound quality is not so flash Great visuals though

amen!!!

Just love them🤠❤️

Love that sax.

Protopunk.

Great band go and see tribute band RoxyMagic back in Scotland next year Kinross.

"Too much cheesecake too soon" - Tell me about it, we've all been there.

How can that crowd just sit there like they’re watching a movie?

RM have a touch of weirdness about them

Eno's outfit is excellent. But it hides his wings.

boys will be boyoyoyoyoyo boys

does anyone have the piano sheet music for this song? beautiful stuff

❤

@caronofbrid1957 Nice! With the 20 cycle thing that young bands tend to follow (listening to thier folks records etc.), no one has tried to tackle the Roxy trip. Might have to do it myself :P

... if this was not foreboding "Punk", then what?

3:30-3:40 !!!!!!!

@orchidtender The audience was shocked, something new!

This sounds musically like 'problems' sex pistols but 4 years before....... Also hear a lot of x ray spex here.

When and where was this recorded?

I like the men without hats version

Is this taken from a film copy? The version on DVD appears to be straight from the broadcast tape.

Which came first--Brian's outfit or Rocky Horror?

Such a well behaved audience........!

@SolsburyHill22 yep.

１９７３ roxymusic　glitter!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You can see where the Sex Pistols got God Save The Queen from

Incendiary. One wonders exactly what the fuck they thought they were doing at the time. One hopes there is no answer to that question.

1982? No.

This song really rocks but the tech back then for live performances sucked.

an actual live performance not lip synched fake crap

John Travolta on vocals

my least favourite one this!

Obligatory sax.... lame.

Muffled audio
