Eno on backing vocals & ambient tambourine on Grey Lagoons, awesomely weird, also a great live band always giving 200%. Great songs, playing and vocals. Modern music blah blah bland by comparison, the 1970’s what a decade for one-off bands & music!
Roxy were based on tradition romance,movies, art, 40s 50s fashion modes progression beauty Style. Lazy unimaginative people use The Alien thing they did it with bowie too Anyway elucidate on your ridiculous and other bozos take on Alien Wee men wee green men all from the minds from corny sci-fi writers Or do Aliens ware tuxedos also and spangles Your comments are pathetic and bog standard opinions on the way Roxy sound and look Stereotyped garbage 🗑 opinions
The whole band is brilliant here raw and heavy. Thundering bass , drums and electric feedback on guitar. Ferry’s sneering over the mic with brilliant vocals. Eno on the effects and Andy playing the Roxy Sound. Fabulous clip of the band,
Just when i think I have either seen or purchased all the Roxy tv clips along comes something else. This is really great clip. Grey Lagoons first time i have ever seen a live clip. Great x 5.
With eno or jobson the first 5 albums was Roxy music, when after the break, they became less experimental, less raw , the punk, glitter, space rock was missing , the music became more commercial. The early 5 albums were so original.
wow...whats nice about this is a few things. 1. its the first ever TV appearance of Roxy Music; according to the "Total Recall" VHS 2. "Ladytron" is complete here, unlike the "Total Recall" VHS, and "Grey Lagoons" is something I never knew about this broadcast until seeing this. 3. this is, Without A Doubt, the most heavy, RAW, and Amazing version of "Ladytron" you will ever hear. Don't even bother with the LP version after hearing this.
This was for a magazine programme called FULL HOUSE, broadcast live on 25 November 1972. Roxy had already performed Virginia Plain on TOP OF THE POPS on 24 August.
Can't tell you how many times I've heard it live. Saw them at The Bottom Line when Jerry Hall came out swinging her tail. One of their entourage, wearing sunglasses in the total dark, tripped and fell on me.
Damn this isnt nearly as good footage as the Old Grey Whistle Test of Ladytron, with Manzanera in those crazy fly eye goggles and lamé tracksuit, and Eno on an oscillator in a gold sequin jacket and leopard pants calling aliens down.
Thats a WOW ! , from this now middled aged old geezer , just 16 when these boys literally exploded onto the scene back in 72 when music was bold and experimental and utterly brilliant , it took the passage of time to fully appreciate just how special the 70s decade actually was , i now lament its passing realizing it was a once in a lifetime period that can never be repeated . Still we who were so fortunate to have been nourished by such wonderful creative talent have our memories and YT to remind us , yes , that it did really happen ! Regarding todays dross , its fair to say in the bleak wilderness of a desert that's a real oasis to drink from.
@@dixonpinfold2582 Damn it Of course I should have quoted Peter Hammill from the 1974 LP In Camera on the famous Charisma label from the track Faint heart and the sermon the line “ my comprehensive faculties are impaired “
Was lucky and fortunate enough to have seen them in 1975 siren tour at the Uptown Theater in Chicago My Brother and Me had first row incredible performance incredible band light years ahead of their time love Roxy Music to this day still listen to this band at 66 years old great music never gets old
+StartabandRoxy I see. Well, personally for me as a kid in a record store being surprised by the coupling of (albeit strong songwriting of Ferry having the sonic overlay of Eno disturbed me in a pleasing way. There was no hype regarding Eno which perhaps came later in the press. However,regarding your statement, would be interesting for you to expand in relation to your PERSONAL emotional response to the first album, leaving the critics to the side for the moment. Have a good week !
hootsmon I'm not a 70s child, I came of age in the 90s. So my focus was on the songwriting, Ferry, Manzanera, then Eno and Mackay when I heard the first album. I think Phil made Chance Meeting more than Eno for instance. And Ferry was the best thing for me.
Eno was always after attention, see the ridiculous long name. They were press darlings, Richard Williams was a friend, I think he went to school with one of them. They also had strong management and money invested, EG, who also managed King Crimson. Fripp still moans about them, living in a beautiful house, that he did not get enough money. Have you seen the price of a ticket for the recent KC gigs? Once saw them at the Marquee using a PA with Roxy Music stamped on it. Extreme noise terror.
[12 September 2020] I think I love Roxy Music more than I ever loved David Bowie. Underneath all his stardust and changes, Bowie was just a music-hall ham - merely an Anthony Newley imitator - compared to Eno and Ferry. It was Eno and Ferry who were really truly weird, who really had ideas about art, who really wanted to change rock music for the better. And they did.
Laytron sounds better on the Musikladen session but this is by no means a bad effort.The creative genius of the band was starting to hit a pace back then and the rest we now know.
Phill has to be a radical guitarist almost distressing he carved out a niche not dissimilar to Paul Kossof. Nothing intricate with a million notes but each note he struck was unnerving.
The very best period When Eno left they became the playtoy of Ferry 8 studio lps in their time wasnt a great deal when you think of Ferry's solo lps Siren i think out of their lps apart from the first 2 is their best even though it sounds very like a Ferry lp And Manifesto onwards are also like solo lps I think roxy with eno without Ferry would have produced more diverse music Ferry's These foolish things is in my opinion the best solo lp of all time he did great justice to these songs 🎵 But Ferry should have wrote for motown a lot of his songs are of that ilk Avalon has been produced in a way that is more akin again to Ferry But ive always found Ferry to be an undemocratic person his way or no way The Bryan Ferry orchestra has recorded some of Roxy Music and i have to admit i think its excellent But im a big fan of Eno especially his early lps and in General is a breath of fresh air Though i didn't listen to any of the shite U2 and Coldplay that he produced But an innovator he has always been Ferry retired to the world weary theme far too often which tells me that was his strength but ultimately repetative I Love Roxy in their best guise with eno i love a lot of Ferry's music but you know your going in to a cul-de -sac whereas with early Roxy and Eno you were always amazed what was on offer Ferry to me was a one trick pony but some of his tricks were magnificent some just repetative But im glad i was but 12 when i first heard this wonderful music 🎶 🎵 😌
@@unfortunatebeam It . I did not call it superb or unfortunate. I am not sure if my brain farts too much. I will defer to an expert on it though.Or even defer to a right online *it. Perhaps the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
Remember seeing this when it was broadcast. Bryan ferry oozed class at this time . He had all the right moves and was very magnetic. He lost this not long after I think.
The first few bars introduction to this, the lilting flute over electro swamp sounds, tell you everything bout early Roxy. Shame about following sound quality
It's annoying when a clip from a great era is badly recorded, especially where the cameramen/directors refuse to simply zoom out and show the whole band or just a whole person. Constantly filling the whole screen with a face or a hand grates after a short time. The Old Grey Whistle Test version from the same time is way better to watch.
Scene Roxy music when they put the lp siren out 1975 I believe I had first row at the uptown theater here in Chicago I still remember it love Bryan ferry and Roxy music❤
