Incredible performance by the whole band .....there is no band out there today that Is as good ..... Viva Roxy

The best Roxy's version ever.

I wish I had a time machine to live that golden age again

I was there. King Crimson (the Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford line-up) opened. What a magical night!

Roxy was always under rated. terrific live.

The vocal backing trio are mesmerising

my nomination for the best cover ever.

I saw this show at the Universal Amphitheater it was my second Roxy Music show after the Manifesto Tour at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in 1979. I saw Bryan Ferry every time he came to Southern California culminating with the Roxy Music 50th Anniversary Tour at the Forum. Thank you Bryan for a lifetime of great music and memories. The 1988 Bete Noir Tour and the 2014 tour in Santa Barbara were incredible.

The only band to have captured the haunting beauty of Neil Young's original...equally good...in a different way.

I agree. Roxys version is full bodied. Neil's version is awesome, and centers around 1 musician, Roxys involves multiple musicians, And no one is gonna argue that Bryans voice is a scoch smoother. So I say Roxy for the win

I count myself as one of those young persons who is now a few years older, LOL! I remember a friend of mine playing this on his portable cassette player; “ghetto blaster”’ as they were called (probably can’t use that term anymore?) in the early eighties. It was the summer of 1983, a year after Avalon had been released and Roxy Music was all but done. Young people who lament contemporary music versus the music of the past (such as this) need not be disenchanted. Thanks to KZread, Sirius XM, iTunes, Spotify, etc., etc., there now exists a plethora of resources to both listen to, and watch, music performers from the past. In 1983 None of these mediums were even thought of. You had live albums to listen to, or you went to a concert to see your favourite artist live. Now you can listen to, or watch these stellar musical performances from yesteryear from a device held in the palm of your hand. So in that regard young music aficionados of the present are truly blessed.

Im a bit of a Neil Young purist but this is different and really good it shouldn't work but hell it really does.

This song used to play on the radio. When I was 16 I heard it in my $300 Chevy BelAir and it was one of the songs that inspired me to take up the drums. Never knew who the drummer was and I discovered another drumming idol in this time period. But I just cannot forget hearing this drum groove on the radio and wanting to play it as a teenager.

Brilliant guitar work

I know I know it's Neil Young's best song. Jeff Healy did it, and Brian Ferry beautiful interpretation with a great altsax.. But listen also to the original version by Neil Young! I love it all! I was in a hurricane on the S.S. Nieuw Amsterdam and I know the feeling!

Just a pity it was boiling hot weather in Frejus and he had to dump the tux and bowtie and unbutton the shirt and let it become wrinkled and his fringe droop too. He looked SO splendid at the start of the gig.

Roxy Music influenced many many big eighties bands plus a good few seventies bands. Including John Lydon.

Wasn't there a non live, studio version of this song? I thought I heard it when I was younger but not able to find it anywhere.
