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.
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).
Grandes ..gigantes ..mágicos..de los mejores grupos que han habido..👏👏👏👏.cancion super buenos recuerdos antiguos..y actuales...saludos desde Barcelona..🇪🇦
From France, I was 5 not at the strand but listening to his albums thanks to my daddy and would listen mesmerized to this good looking charismatic classy alternative leader...with the DVDs as a youg woman, Sire Ferry s career is out of this world 🎉❤
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.
@@pigglesy Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. He traveled to the past from the 80's to the 50's and played Johnny B. Goode, and according to the movie inspired Chuck Berry to "invent" rock'n'roll
@@enduranceadventurez There are differences between this performance and the album version. I've read that it was live but possibly then overdubbed by the BBC ?
Yes, bought the album back in 72.....now playing it albeit on different media now! Still brilliant, absolutely unique and just won't be repeated....ever!
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?
Every generation has its own music. As I recall, our parents and grandparents back in the 70s thought we'd all do better listening to music from their time instead of stuff like Roxy
I was one of the trombone players out there. Best halftime show the Redcoats ever did! By virtue of proximity, drummer buddy Chris Hale got huge exposure behind Mr. Brown! I’ve still got the Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs 45 single here somewhere. To echo some of the other comments, many thanks for posting this!
Some may call some of Roxy M ..experimental pop ...maybe a musical 12 yr old ...with interest in experimental pop / composition ..maybe interested in hearing this ...but no a lot of 12 yr old musical listeners will move on to something else ..
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
My fav was and always will be the drummer. Saw them EVerywhere in NYC in the '70s - The Bottom Line when Hall sashayed out swinging her tail.... Epic show
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.
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.
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 ❤
@@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.
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.
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).
@@hdew77look at his reflection in the mirror, on the cover of, “Here Come The Warm Jets”
Yes@@dancochrane5577
Saw this in 75 on TV and bought the album. My roommate thought I was nuts.
Nothing compares to 70s classics like these and talking heads and a whole lot more
I love Enos jacket. Music has never been this cool.

Early Roxy. We are not worthy!
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.

I'm just going to say it, Britains best ever group, loved them , so clever, amazing
Best ever?
What about Genesis, Yes etc at that time? 🤔
@@EloyGijon67 not even close
Everybody has their own taste. And in case of music, we cannot be not biased. Still, Roxy Music is a gem.
Almost all of them are good
Early Roxy was so fookin cool!!
Brian Ferry and Andy Mackay living the 80's, the others still in the 70's.
Brian Eno in the 22nd century!
Such a brilliant song from a brilliant band.
One of thee most original bands ever. I can imagine people being absolutely blown away by them back then. No wonder.
I was and still am

WOW you exist latitude of 46.2276° N, which puts France in the northern hemisphere, and longitude of 2.2137° E... still FREE ? Goa"uld?
I remember seeing this on OGWT in '73 and it "blew my mind"! Amazing that they can recreate that sound live.
This clip is from the OGWT , but hardly "live". Which doesn't antimatter .Roxy lip synchin is just as entertaining.
I too remember seeing this "live" and my mum going all teenage gooey eyed over Mr Ferry.
@@PAULLONDEN I thought that OGWT was always live playing (ie not miming)
As fresh and as good as day one, lovely!
Fantastic, one of my all time favourite, the old grey whistle clips

They closed their show at the Chase Center last year with this song. I loved it so much. One could die happy.
Now that was different for then and still sounds different now.
I've always been in love with this bunch of misfits since I discovered them when I was eighteen In 1972 always thought they were sooo cool
One of the greatest acts ever to take a stage. Thanks, so much BF & RM -- wonderful stuff. ❤😂🎉😢❤.
Magnificent, sums it up for me ❤😂🎉😢❤
The artist with his timeless art!
My favorite Roxy song was - More Than This back in 1982,I was just a young 22yr old man. Oh how times have changed since then....
And not for the better
Coolest band ever!!
fantastic music 🎶 ❤️🎸💞
Ich liebe dich mein allerliebster Schatz so sehr!!🥰💖🌸💖🍀💖🌸💖🍀💖🌅💋💋
I miss you my Darling❤️
It's still incredible! ❤
One of the greatest songs ever written. Simple as that.
So original and absolutely fabulous.
🎀
Amazing song.
Remember seeing them in 1972 at the Crystal Palace Garden Party.
coolest group 70s
Excellent band. Love Bryan. Ferry’s style then and later. Thanks for sharing..✨
Perfect performance.
Should be its not live!
@@enduranceadventurez There are differences between this performance and the album version. I've read that it was live but possibly then overdubbed by the BBC ?
Fabulous!! Brings back awesome memories!! And in those days, no one to keep track of us very wayward tennagers!!!! 🤣🤣xxx
Absolutely!!!...
Yes, bought the album back in 72.....now playing it albeit on different media now! Still brilliant, absolutely unique and just won't be repeated....ever!

Forgotten about green day and lovely red hots...
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?
Bryan Ferry was an art school graduate and taught in a secondary school before he sang full time.
This band and Rocky Horror Picture Show forever imprinted..
The way he goes from one mike to the other_ effortlessly cool. Great song 👍
It doesnt get much better than this, I wish younger people would listen to music like this, open their minds a bit.
Every generation has its own music. As I recall, our parents and grandparents back in the 70s thought we'd all do better listening to music from their time instead of stuff like Roxy
@@zeddeka Very true.
For your pleasure from my favorites
This band encompassed everything great. Essential listening!!
My favourite Roxy track
Mine, too, for some reason given huge songbook.
wow here we are in 2024 and this is so fresh
Aliens from another world, I'm certain of it! Lol.
Thinking the same thing. Moving through a heavy RM phase now.
The first Roxy Music song I ever heard. More than half a century ago.
His performance is not from this world… ❤
When music was music 🎶, can't beat Roxy Music
All Timeless classics .
X Mersybeats bassist doing the business,Johnny Gustaffson,RIP.
BRAVO!!
So so unique and just as excellent today as then!
one of the best debut albums of all time surreal and nuts omg i fancy eno x
So much energy!
You can tell this is an Old Grey Whistle Test performance. It's totally in that style.
Adoro i Roxy da sempre e anche Bryan da solo visto 2 volte in concerto a Montecarlo e a Milano. Grandissimo musicista❤❤👏👏👏
@rosannamontaldo1425. Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here.

I heard this when i was 12 can you seriously see a 12 year old now listening to this
The answer is highly unlikely 😂🎉❤
Some may call some of Roxy M ..experimental pop ...maybe a musical 12 yr old ...with interest in experimental pop / composition ..maybe interested in hearing this ...but no a lot of 12 yr old musical listeners will move on to something else ..
@john deacetis yeah move on to a load if pish
@@johndeacetis4707 mmmm
A real country boy.
I'm from Detroit also, he captures our attitude really well!
A young Brian Eno on keyboards
Is he a little gay?
Saw their 50 year reunion tour (sans Eno), sounded as good as this.
Amazing! Take my breath away even after all those years. Oh, Bryan why I didn't met you before? 💔I love you❤️😘

I never knew Roxy Music had a ballet dancer as a sax player
I bought the LPs in 1975 and I still have them ❤ I was 16
Amazing - as good as the recording !! And they look so very cool…
so eine Performance, tolle Instrumente und
Bryan ❤
@ritakahla8825. Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here.
I l;ove Eddie Jobson in full GLam mode!
did the Strand!
Such a class act (!!!)
This Rocks
My fav was and always will be the drummer. Saw them EVerywhere in NYC in the '70s - The Bottom Line when Hall sashayed out swinging her tail.... Epic show
Fabulous then and still. Eno the original knob-twiddler but dressed to KILL.
How cool were they?!
Love It Bryan!
Absolute Class....
Young, wild and beautiful! - He still is very good looking.
Brilliant
You can't beat strand power.
Thanks sir Bryan))
The early Sex Pistols were called 'The Strand' after this song, Steve Jones was a huge Roxy fan.
the invention of late 70s culture
Laissez-faire le Strand
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.
What a fucking tune...
Now that was some humdinger of a deal, that Strand business.....
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.
There's Brian Eno playing the dials.
And he was a master on doing it!
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.
I want the silver shining jacket of sir Brian Eno and i want it now! 😁
Just brilliant; is there anything to touch this now?
Love Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music! Thanks! 🦩🦩🦩
Never noticed it before, but this is like a missing link between the evolution of 60's psychedelic rock to 80's New Wave.
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.

He had as many reinventions as Bowie, yet never got the appreciation or the aclaim.
Absolutely Legendary ❤
What a terrific live performance. Beats the album version.
It's not live it is the Album version
@@andrewmorrison7912 Really? This was uploaded by Roxy Music. Are they lying? and the OGWT always was live.
@@geoffreypiltz271 Afraid so they performed live playing Ladytron the previous year
@@andrewmorrison7912 Evidence? When OGWT was not live it was accompanied by old film footage. So what is this?
@@geoffreypiltz271 Of the two Roxy performances I've seen, "Do The Strand" is obviously mimed because no-one's playing the prominent piano riff!
