Most? All more like it

Roxy Music was so far ahead of its time, that the rest of the world hasn’t yet caught up. I bought the entire back catalog out of my first paycheque when I moved to Halifax. Ferry’s lyrics are so erudite and slick. A bit of a James Bond, if Bond was a singer.

Bond, James Bond, a singer, what a fascinating concept. Surely only as a cover for Brian Ferry to get even more girls (or boys) and rid the world of nasties like Putin?

As a 10yr old, I didn't appreciate how ahead of the times Roxy and Bowie were but had the feeling that they were something special. How lucky to be on the edge of teen years in that period. Such a variety of artists on the charts shows and other tv programmes such as OGWT.

Roxy at their absolute best. Eno works that synthesizer like a real genius. As a young man at the time, I was deeply inspired!

Eno was also glittering quite profusely, something that he probably never did after he left the band (at least not fashion-wise).

Saw this in 75 on TV and bought the album. My roommate thought I was nuts.

Ferry is just so damn original and puts himself into every song.

I still miss the OGWT, some fantastic sets were broadcast, Bowie, Queen, Alex Harvey, Focus The Jam. Every week you were sure to be entertained.

Me too. My older brother watched it every week so I was introduced to so many amazing artists at a young age. Rock goes to College and Sight and Sound in concert were great, too. Let's not forget The Tube...so many 80s music careers were launched thanks to the Channel 4 show (difficult time slot, though. 5-7pm, I seem to remember).

I never knew Roxy Music had a ballet dancer as a sax player

It doesnt get much better than this, I wish younger people would listen to music like this, open their minds a bit.

I love Enos jacket. Music has never been this cool.

They closed their show at the Chase Center last year with this song. I loved it so much. One could die happy.

Watching this in 1973 must have been like watching Marty McFly playing music from the future at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Brilliant stuff, still sounds so fresh 50 years later.

My friend Dave (1951-2023), who turned me onto Roxy, would have loved this clip. He said that when he saw them in Pittsburgh there was an audible growl from the audience at the start of the song.

So much energy!

Terrific clip of Roxy Music on the show. I liked Bryan Ferry's Carlito Brigante suit (as in the one Al Pacino wore in the 1993 film Carlito's Way), but alas I think the performance was mimed as there was no horizontal lines on the picture, something that always occurred when acts were performing live on the show

What a terrific live performance. Beats the album version.

@@geoffreypiltz271 Of the two Roxy performances I've seen, "Do The Strand" is obviously mimed because no-one's playing the prominent piano riff! At one point Ferry turns to a keyboard and starts throwing shapes to what sounds like Eno's synth break. The "Ladytron" performance I think is different from the recorded version - Manzanera's guitar sounds different at least.

Never noticed it before, but this is like a missing link between the evolution of 60's psychedelic rock to 80's New Wave.

It'd be interesting to hear the demos for this album,like you did with the first album,the 45th Anniversary edition.Best period of Roxy,72-73,loved your avante garde phase.

OMG, why is the audio on this video so low? This song rocks, thank goodness I can just play the vinyl when I want it full blast.

so eine Performance, tolle Instrumente und Bryan ❤

did the Strand!

Hes corny, camp and almost funny, BUT he styles it out to become cool, sophisticated and damn right brilliant! Roxy were years ahead of their time, and probably the most overlooked band ever, I think they are with only The Beatles and a tiny handful of others at being one of the most influential bands of all time. Then when you thought it couldn't get better, Bryan as a solo artist becomes the absolute king of cool, style and sophistication, If you get a chance listen to the album Boy and Girls, the complexity of the tracks, included the title track, a dark mysterious sultry song with attitude, Valentine, a modern take of almost techno reggie , The Chosen One, layers of guitars building up to a three or four level of solos, Knopfler , Gilmore, epic, and of course Slave to love, one of the classiest power love songs that simply never ages. He had as many reinventions as Bowie, yet never got the appreciation or the aclaim. Absolutely Legendary ❤

Love Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music! Thanks! 🦩🦩🦩

BRAVO!!

Adoro i Roxy da sempre e anche Bryan da solo visto 2 volte in concerto a Montecarlo e a Milano. Grandissimo musicista❤❤👏👏👏

This Rocks

Such a class act (!!!)

Brilliant

Thanks sir Bryan))

Love It Bryan!

Laissez-faire le Strand

The SAX.

KJ is that the image of Brian Eno, the man who coined the electronic music genre Ambient. What was Tangerine Dream & Pink Floyd doing before that. Or even Mike Oldfield.

All hail Eno.

I never liked the band as an 80s teenager as it was too cheesy pop and not punk enough but when I heard this I couldn't believe it was the same band. One of the best songs of all time in my pointless opinion.
