Paul Thompson - absolutely rock solid 😁👍

That was fabulous. From the first time I saw Roxy on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' in '73 (?) I've been hooked all my life. Just become a Pensioner. Several lifetimes later, this song has been a loving companion through thick and thin. I'd be happy to do it all again. Ebb tide dreaming.

It is SO rare to find a live performance that is equal to, or exceeds, the studio rendition, and here is just such an example.

Doesn't it sound so fresh in 2023? Personally, I think it's Roxy's opus, and every musician contributes here.

Roxy Music is as easily as influential as their contemporaries; Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, T Rex

Ditto. I first heard this song on WHFS, which was a tiny, little FM radio station operating out of Annapolis, MD, back around the summer of 83 or 84. It immediately became my theme song for that summer and I still love it to this day. It'll be one of the songs that will be played at my funeral, along with Bowie's "Heroes", New Order's "Your Silent Face" and Mazzy Star's "Unreflected". I can still remember jetting through the Maryland darkness after midnight on those torpid summer nights, when the sweet scent of mimosa and honey suckle hung redolent and heavy in the humid air, my mouth dry from beer as I rocketed down Route 50 to Annapolis and last call at one of the bars that surrounded the dock. Windows open (no AC), a cyclone of wind swirling (like my life at the time) inside the passenger compartment, radio blasting, bass thumping.....man those were great times.

Along with Love's "Forever Changes Live" DVD, this was my first order online after I got a computer. To put it in better perspective, I got it from Tower Records. LOL! This is probably the most beautiful concert DVD ever put out. _Stunning_ visuals! And, hey, Lucy Wilkins. I saw this tour in Chicago. Wow.

Saw them backstage at the Academy of Music in NYC....what a band....great performance.... something I'll never forget.... Ferry came out in a red leather suit.....dancing his way up to the microphone

And In the guitar THE MASTER MANZANERA‼️👁

In 1978 I swapped a Ramones album and at the ripe old age of 14 I was introduced to For Your Pleasure. I remember being astounded that there was a song about blow up dolls Bogus Men A certain Grey Lagoon and so on. If it wasn’t for Roxy Music I might’ve ended up being a Japan fan 😉
