Bryan sings all the songs a third and sometimes even a fourth lower. That would even sound strange if his voice was still young and fresh. Doing that means he takes care. We wouldn't expect a 77 year old to run like a 40 year old, right? I saw him live in 1999 and I'll leave it that way. But I'm glad to see he's still doing his thing.
I have some live DVD,s. I noticed that the back up singers usually sing at the same time and that the volume on Bryan,s voice is low. This suggests that he is trying to compensate for his weakening voice
Que maravilla verlos en el escenario, la virtuosidad de la banda sigue ahí, la voz de Bryan F sigue envolvente, porque es el poder de la música que nos transporta, y Roxy music es atemporal, hasta el fin de los tiempos,feliz aniversario 🥰🤗
Don’t forget to order your special issue of uncut it’s the delux issue of Roxy Music only got hold of a copy of this for the 50th anniversary when I looked online asi can’t get out as looking after my mum full time. During the day it was out on the 10th of this month I’m looking for popvlassic with Bryan on list of his favourite songs issue 77
The Ferry solo tour here a few years ago in Australia was a debacle. His voice was/ is 101% G O N E. The band and backing singers carried him all night. The 2010 Aust. & NZ Roxy Music tour was brilliant. They were all on top of their game on that short but sharp tour of the Southern Hemisphere.
Ferry cannot sing anymore, The young woman from Ferry's solo band is playing the important saxophone parts and I would guess the second guitarist is playing most of the solos. At least they did not do the show in wheel chairs. Leave that to Phil Collins.
I was at msg nyc sept 12 2022 and they were very very good! People were dancing and i was bouncing out of the seat! What a professional cool group! Thanks for the post!
It was a great show. The band was tight and in the groove.. Very smart to expand the band with more players. Phil and Andy rule! Great visuals too. They will be missed!
What a marvelous show of this all time greatest band, so many wonderful tracks they have given to mankind, I really adore them all, Bryan, Phil, Andy and the others, great musicians. Thank you so much Ilonka for sharing!
You certainly have had value for money with the fabulous screen behind the musician's giving more scope for the concerts would have loved being in the crowd what an experience with such professional music to match so good Susan
When I listen to a song like Avalon, I wonder who will ever create something similar...so seductive, melancholic, nostalgic... they were and are really great, irreplaceables.
@@ilonkadesigns Also for Jealous Guy... so many moments I remember from my youth, what a magnificent version, for me better than the original. I'll always sing and remember the whisteling by the end of the song and the final melody...
Oh dear that sounds chronic. How do some of ye think a singer is supposed to sound at 77 for gods sake can any ye do better if not don’t moan just do my go or buy the tickets the. I’m sure someone who lwodto see Roxy Music for nostalgic reason
Mis canciones favoritas son THE SAME OLD SCENE y SLAVE TO LOVE (canción que sale en la estupenda película LUNAS DE HIEL, con un baile que se marcan Kristin Scott Thomas y Emmanuelle Seigner)
I saw the show in San Francisco @ Chase Center! Truly incredible!!! Devoted fan for over 50 yrs!!!! They are irreplaceable!!! I will miss their amazing live shows I was fortunate to see probably 10 or 12 times over the years!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Roxy Music is responsible for changing the direction of my life. I was engaged to marry a guy when I met the love of my life at work. Roxy gave me the courage to grab that brass ring and embark on the adventure of a lifetime for 40 years. She died a month ago and I'm so lost. But hearing these songs puts me right back in her arms in the chaise lounge in her apartment. I'm floating above all my worries and it feels so nice.
So very sad ! I am glad i got cold feet and sold our tickets for the Manchester concert. Abbas philosophy is , " We want people to remember us as we were " I think Roxy Music could learn a lesson from that.
There are some musicians who still play / sing very well when older. Paul McCartney is one example. Sure, he does not have the range and timbre anymore. But he still plays well. Or Paul Simon. His voice is far away from what it was, and he knows it. But when he sings ... it's moving, he is still able to put the emotions into his voice ... or what has been left of it. You just have to recognize that you can't do anymore the same things as if you were young. But you can do other things.
I saw Roxy's 50th at the Chase Centre San Fran for my 65th BD . It was Bryan's 77th BD the nite I saw him Sept 26. I've been seeing him for 50yrs. so it was very special . He was great as always
Thnxs , I flew in from Toronto on my 65th BDwknd Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music have been a real big part in my since I was 17 along with Bowie both were so amazing & very special . If he tours again I'll be there !
If Bowie were still alive, having never seen him live, I would pay good money to see him no matter how he sounded. Bowie with poor voice is better than no Bowie. Ferry is 77 and represents a daring, imaginative and classy age of music in which he, with a small group of notable others who are no longer with us, changed music forever. Let's celebrate Roxy touring, producing great music and giving an audience a fun, exciting concert in these challenging and scary times. After 50 years they can still put on a great night of superb music. Yes Ferry's voice is not what it was, but it is not like he is embarrassing or is puffing all night out of shape, balding, has a beer belly and dressed thirty years too young. He is an elegant gentleman enjoying singing superb songs.
@@markymark2819 well said mark! I’ve been going to see Ferry/Roxy live since 1999. Yes his voice isn’t as good as it was - which is no surprise considering his age, lifestyle (previous heavy smoker) and the fact he used to actually sing in a much higher note than his natural voice. Since his Avonmore tour in 2015 his voice has naturally tailed off. What he does do though is have a tight knit band and backing singers that compensate for this and come in on the notes that he can no longer reach. Like you say he’s not struggling to try and sing notes he can’t reach and he isn’t an overweight guy puffing about on stage - he carries himself elegantly and knows his limits. This will obviously be the last Roxy tour and then I think we may see another solo tour. His solo tours are actually more suited where he plays in smaller venues and adds songs where there’s a less rock emphasis - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, To Make You Feel My Love etc. I am just so pleased to get to see Roxy play live again - I’m only 39 so never got to see them play in their hey day! Have only seen them playing on their 2001 reunion tour and then the mini tours they’ve played since then. Given how poor music is nowadays I’m like you and would happily pay to see these legends play live. Once all these legends stop playing then we truly are left with nothing. Yea there will still be bands and singers but nothing like what there is been before.
@@markymark2819 what a wonderful reply. So well said. I'm in awe and so thankful of witnessing such a great display of masterful music and class. Both elements quite unknown in the times we're living.
The fact that he's able to tour the world and have an unforgettable show with 13 musicians on stage is more powerful than any voice change or whatever. We get extremely young ultra famous ppl with 1/8 of that talent and mediocre voice everyday - not to mention irrelevant. Roxy Music is timeless and influential.
I was at msg nyc sept 12. The roxy music and mr ferry were wonderful! Such an iconic group. Mr.Ferry is a cool classy elegant performer who has contributed so much to music and lets appreciate him!
I went to the last show at the Forum the other night and I wanted to be there because it marked the end of an era. I’m glad I was able to see Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry in their prime. It was disappointing that both the SF and LA shows didn’t have an encore that all the other shows did and that meant no Jealous Guy. I get that it was the end of the tour and the band was likely tired, but it kind of felt like they mailed it in.
I was very disappointed no encore given @ Chase Center in SF!!! No Jealous Guy performed! 😩 After all it was Bryan’s birthday that day…..guess he wanted to party!!!??? 🥂
Nope. Neither is Eddie Jobson....who ALWAYS has, up to now, played the fantastic violin outro on 'Out of the Blue'. Watched a few of these shows....and sadly....as I am a great fan of Roxy...they are WAY past their best, and this seemed shambolic. Bryan's voice is sooo far gone, he is singing in such a different key, and he looks frail...very sad.
That's what growing old does for you. Ferry's voice has almost completely gone. Was at Hammersmith for one of the concerts in 2000 that were recorded. That was very lively.
Le dandy de la pop anglaise génial merci pour cette vidéo
My brother introduced me to Bryan Ferry in 1978. This show was awesome! Thanks, Gary!
Ça n’à pas pris une ride merci pour la mise en ligne de ce concert

I bought their first 45rpm release then the album same week - huge fan since day 1
Love Sax...
Even the band and backing singers are strangely lifeless and subdued. This isn't good, sorry. It's Roxy Music on Diazepam 😔

Brian Ferry is 77, sometimes it's time to bow out gracefully. No offence
100% agreed - negative comments are missing out on the bigger picture, without doubts.
Nice to see Jorja still on board !

Incredible, the Roxy Music fab four still there on stage !!! So great !!!
Absolutely a 💯 of a privilege 👏
I will cherish that 50 years anniversary forever of the rest of my life. I hope Bryan makes a last run in USA. 2023.
@@SwisstedChef2018 that's a wonderful thought. And I shall be there myself!
Please come to Ireland next time
Ferry dovrebbe ritirarsi dalle scene,ha finito la voce,ringrazi i coristi...quella che canta l'ultimo pezzo chi e'?
I was there, fantastic. I flew in from Florida, a staunch European fan since 1973. Could not let that last one go. ROXY ROCKS> You will be missed.
Awesome 🙌

His voice was shot at his concert in Sydney more than 10 years ago.
This is certainly different to seeing 6 blokes playing in a pub!
