Just wanna say that I was at that concert with my two friends, Kevin Donaldson and Paul Means. Kevin and Paul are seen at different times during the song nodding their heads. I'm the one jumping up and down at the end. Must have been the tight undies I was wearing. :)) Sadly, Kevin passed away in 2001. Lovely, lovely guy. If I remember rightly it was a free concert. Those were the days!
My ticket says 6th June 74. Did they play on more than one night? I remember this was part of a series of free Capital Radio gigs at The Rainbow. On the same bill were Humble Pie; Leo Sayer and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Thanks for positing this. BTW anyone else who was there and found or took my white handbag with small amount of cash and my train ticket home - thanks!
@801liveable I love the way he moves onstage, too. :) My favorite is his dancing around the stage during the instrumental breaks in "Pyjamarama" on Musikladen 1/23/74 (you can find it in my uploads). hehehe Thanks for the tip about Total Recall. I see now that's an OOP VHS; never released on DVD. Too bad. I'd love to see this in better quality. Somebody needs to do a digital rebroadcast!
@801liveable Likewise! :) I wish there were more of us around, too. Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music are far too under-appreciated these days. I only just got into their music in September. When I saw the video of "Mother of Pearl" live on Musikladen, that was it! I fell in love. I wish I had gotten into Roxy and Ferry's solo work sooner. You're so lucky to have seen them so many times-esp. circa 'Country Life' and 'Siren' (♥ his uniforms on those tours mmm mmm). I'm jealous. :D
@801liveable Indeed. haha I've been pretty well consumed with Roxy/Ferry-mania since Sept., so I'm doing fine. I have all the Roxy Music albums plus DVDs (official or not), most of Bryan Ferry's solo albums (just got 'Frantic' yesterday-amazing!), the biographies, a mint/unplayed original UK Island 7" pressing of "Pyjamarama" (I'm holding it in my profile pic), loads of Roxy and BF live recordings, etc. Glad you and your wife got to see him-yes, debonair as ever-in October, too. :)
@801liveable Yes, I know. :) I don't think he's as bad as Frankenstein, but I do find his awkward dancing rather endearing. LOL I've only gotten to see him live once thus far (10/14/11 Oakland). He still does his thing. Cool as hell. I had to laugh, though, when he and I both did that little hands-on-hips move at the "Ag-gra-va-ted/Spare for days" part in "Love Is the Drug" (as seen in Roxy Music's 12/25/75 appearance on LWT's Supersonic) at the same time. LOL Man, I loved that.

now that is a good live performance. I saw so many great acts in the 70s
I had this on videotape. What a live performance.
No one talks about how Eddie jobson was the best replacement for Brian Eno
The Jobson era Roxy was the best and most musical!

Is that Roger Taylor from Duran Duran in the audience at 1.56?
