'Sea breezes' almost sounds like classical music. These guys took art to another level in the 70s!

They were so different from every other Rock Band especially in the U.S. My first exposure to them was through an excellent record shop in Seattle. The manager was a very cool guy, and he was getting in a bunch of records by English bands who were off the usual track of the usual Zeppelin and Rolling Stones, When The Roxy album Stranded came out in America, my fave shop did a window display including the album cover picture which was very racy , sexually suggestive.and I heard some of the tracks. I bought an import copy. I was a Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry enthusiast ever after.

Absolutely iconic. So glad I was a teen in the 70’s. There were so many unique artists coming to the fore. Def the best decade for music.

That little jam with the VCS3 was fantastic.

Audience member [inwardly]: "I thought _I_ was weird and imaginative and interesting. Turns out I'm not. Turns out I'm not at all."

Bowie, Roxy, Hawkwind etc. still listening in my early 60's and still broadening my musical tastes, bring it on

Im 7 years old and this band slaps hardAF, gettin my first sequin flares soon, Thank You Glam Eno and Byron Ferrari

Are you serious..about your age?

THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS IN THIS SONG ! ! ! I COULD BINGE WATCH THIS ALL DAY ! ! !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Genre smashing, universe shredding, galactic super nova--the beginning of the end of the great big bang that started everything then took a brief pause to hang with and inspire Roxy Music before re-ordering the cosmos for the next big thing...still waiting for that one to unfold. Nothing was like this ever or will be ever again. Madness. Lighting in a bottle.

4:53 The band is oblivious while Brian Eno fights off the invisible Id creature from Forbidden Planet.

Funny how we experience these things differently. To me the start shows me a scene of a beautiful dressed lady outside in a field, somehwere hot and very sunny. Gentle hills with just weat almost everywhere. It is noon, a windy day. And then the wind strengthens and it comes in from slightly different angles. Looking over the field with her clothes gracefully moving in he wind she sees how the wind seems to approach her, almost blowing through her. On that wind, ever so slightly, is this changing melody (of Eno and Mackay). And even though it is invisible, she know this is a man, she feels it, that is trying to approach her and he is trying different frequencies to get in sync with hers....He is not desperate, he is calm and selfassured....he is finding some way of connection....She wantsto know him, he provokes her curiousity, but for now she can only feel he is trying. But she is also aware of something sinister that makes her not completely at ease....

Good god that drummer is just brilliant

far out sound, brilliant

Just started listening to this band on Apple Music, I love it! Better late than never says me.

I saw this in the 80s in a OGWT replay on TV and my mum was watching (who only liked the most obscure classical music), and she really liked it.

6yr before I was born and fooking awesome. Was born 15yr too late

Raw, punk , glitter, rock , so sophisticated so bazzar, and undeniably original, Roxy Music

Roxy Music & Bryan Ferry started a musical movement in the 70s like no other, copied but never bettered

And featuring Eno as a pair of disembodied hands.

I LOVE BRYAN FERRY

I'm so happy that someone as young as15is listening to Roxy Music,good for you young man.This band was or I should say still being BRILLIANT.I must say thanks to them many other bands where influenced by Roxy Music.So many great artists came out of this era,not to mention ahead of there time.

THANK YOU BRYAN FERRY, BRIAN ENO & ROXY MUSIC FOR YOUR ART ! ! !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

This is the best Roxy music live thing I have ever seen . It’s like Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy on acid live .

It's life jim, but not as we know it..

Remember when radios played that? They don't do where I live. Only modern pop or classic, with a few nice shows I usually miss.

So great to see Roxy at the O2 last Friday ( 14/10/22) 50 years after I saw them at the Central Hall Chatham ✌️

Had forgotten how much I love his voice.

It sounds terrifying when you say 'Half a century' which i am now merely a year from being!

Bryan singing is like electricity through my body on this song its so wayout amazing love him x

We'd beg mom to stay up late to watch this show. Age 11. So glad she let us. Although she could never hear what "Whispering" Bob Harris was saying.
