Between Ferry's singing, the inane but clever lyrics, Eno's synth solo and Manzanera's buzzsaw riffage, this forecasts everything from punk to new wave to hair metal to Guided by Voices. Unreal. Also, theoretical bullshit aside, this kicks ass to listen to.
@@kentwestmoreland419 Well said Kent. When I saw them in '73 I knew I was watching something special. Such a shame that Eno left and took much of the magic with him.
ENO !!!!!! lollll . he is just too great !! - especially his [quiet] singing at the end,his fabulous mannerisms+ appearance ! obviously been said million times = bryan ferry sure had stylist/personality/glow competition with that one on stage with him!
Funny you should say that, I'm checking out this song because I'm watching an interview with Mark Mothersbaugh in which here specifically cited this keyboard solo as the moment he became interested in synthesizers.
No need to be sorry, that's also one of my favourites. I just think this is a classic album and one that everyone should have in their collection. Cheers.
Last night I went to see Roxy in Sydney Entertainment Centre with my Dad (Who is 62) and let me tell you, it was an exotic masterpiece & an incredible personal experience for me. 10/10. (:-D (Oh & the dancing background girls were a nice sexy touch) Roxy Music wouldn't have it any other way....
Shit sound but worth it for the performance. Eno only played on the first two albums but left such a huge imprint. I was always the only guy in my school who even knew who the hell they were. Go USA.
Only had the chance to see RM live one time. Eno had just left the group and was replaced by Eddie Jobson. AND Roxy was only the warm up band for ...the KINKS! Epic concert!
My favourite track from the "For Your Pleasure" album.Bought this album back in the 70's and highly recommend it to any true Roxy fans. They where in a different class back then and so original. Go out and add this album/cd to your collection.
It's such a track that kicks in without no expectation and how it tides up with Every dream home a heartache is just soul melting. Such a great f'in record
LOL Top of the Pops avoided showing Eno at all when Roxy performed Virginia Plain in 1972. For a few seconds one saw a close up of gloved hand playing a keyboard. I thought this show was going to do the same.For nearlythe first two minutes he is not shown oris in deep shadow. Finally, his synthesizer break begins, and the camera still doesn't show him. Then, we at last do get a glimpse, but most of him is hidden by an amp. THEN, FINALLY, we do get to see him full frontal. Thanks, Mr. Producer man.
It's funny that the "Learn more" implies that this is from 1982 -- this is more like 1973. With all that wonderful early '70s hair! But it's delightful to see it. RM were so innovative, and so gloriously weird.
Back in the day when we went to the better record store that had imports - we saw the first Roxy Music LP - we asked the "head" at the store what is sounded like. He said a cross between Elvis and Pink Floyd. We said "That's It!!!" Glad I got to see them twice but w/Jobson, was still super great.
@caronofbrid1957 Nice! With the 20 cycle thing that young bands tend to follow (listening to thier folks records etc.), no one has tried to tackle the Roxy trip. Might have to do it myself :P
Paul Thompson, the unsung hero of Roxy Music.
The energy he brought was incomparable.
Between Ferry's singing, the inane but clever lyrics, Eno's synth solo and Manzanera's buzzsaw riffage, this forecasts everything from punk to new wave to hair metal to Guided by Voices. Unreal. Also, theoretical bullshit aside, this kicks ass to listen to.
No Duran Duran, New Wave w/o them...
Yes, this is punk, the energy of the drums and the guitar is amazing
@@AnthonyAvery I feel light new wave & synth pop are the direct offspring of early Roxy, The Stooges, Berlin Bowie & (last but not least (Kraftwerk).
In this song you can really hear where Steve Jones got the guitar riff for the Sex Pistols' "Problems" 🖤🙏
This is absolutely beautiful
More groundbreaking than anything thats in the charts today.
That's not saying much sadly.
And still is !
Of the 5000+ people gushing over the video for "Avalon", I'd wager 4975 of their heads would explode watching this.
Avalon was basically 2HB with ten years' preofessional experience.
Greatest British band ever for me, a real national treasure
Andy on maracas. Never seen that in any other video.
Superb. Love the way the muppets in the audience have no idea what's going on...... Saw them in Southampton in 1973.
I was one of those muppets but in Charlotte NC. It took me a while to process what I had seen, but it changed my way of looking at thing.
@@kentwestmoreland419 Well said Kent. When I saw them in '73 I knew I was watching something special. Such a shame that Eno left and took much of the magic with him.
lol what some of us can only wish for
ENO !!!!!! lollll . he is just too great !! - especially his [quiet] singing at the end,his fabulous mannerisms+ appearance ! obviously been said million times = bryan ferry sure had stylist/personality/glow competition with that one on stage with him!
Eno looks nasty here.
Eno looks badass!
The whole thing's pretty futuristic. Like from outta' Clockwork Orange or that film w/ Hawkwind.
There is no band that was everremotely like them before, during or since!
Roxy belongs in Hall of Fame in my opinion. Trail Blazers.
The most unique band ever!!!
Without a doubt!
they finally got in although they should've been in a long time ago.
Absolute trail blazers!!! Boys will be boys, will be boyoyos!!! great stuff
Nah!! Roxy is beyond the Hall of Fame!!!
i cant believe roxy is not in the hall of shame compared to a lot of crap that is in. Shows you what it's worth!
DAVID BOWIE said IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEE A BAND SEE ROXY MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😮✌👊👏👌Nuff said That Was BACK in the Early 70s My TIME ✌g
And Bowie began to copy Bryan Ferry's look: ditching the red hair, giving it a side part, keeping it Ferry's length, and wearing similar stage clothes
Yeah, Bowie loved Ferry
Eno is amazing. His 1973 solo sounds like synth solos in the 80s (think Devo)
Funny you should say that, I'm checking out this song because I'm watching an interview with Mark Mothersbaugh in which here specifically cited this keyboard solo as the moment he became interested in synthesizers.
Also interestingly, he produced their first LP. It's a small world and a little bit of history repeating.
@@jasonlieberman4606 lol... I just did the exact same thing!
@@jasonlieberman4606That’s exactly what brought me here as well!
Great song, great Eno synth solo.
Seems hard to realise that this was 49 years back.....What a band
No need to be sorry, that's also one of my favourites. I just think this is a classic album and one that everyone should have in their collection. Cheers.
That is the shit. Ferry and Eno are outstanding.
Think the audience had to mutch cheesecake.Half the audience look as if there ready for their bed,did they not realise the genius of Roxy music🎷🎸
Londoners?

I hope something special will step into my life - well that was Roxy Music all them years ago !
another fine edition of editions of you!
Superb version! Thanks
Shit sound but worth it for the performance.

Go USA.

That's a first for me never seen this performance before long time roxy music fan since first album before Virginia plain nice one

Such a great f'in record
i fell in love with this version
Great song. If only the sound quality could be better...
There's a live Musikladen version with much better sound .
Superb song , great band !

The ENO has landed!
Roxy Music have a touch of weirdness
this poppin art
Pre punk as well
So original, chic and charming.
Best pop song of 73
I w in te Navy but I never got to see he Northern Lights. Perhaps this summer in the mountaints north in Vermont !!!!
Why are there no comments for this.? Seems a very rare, early performance.
Fantastic stuff. Checkout Eno's costume!! ...Brilliant and hilarious.
It's funny that the "Learn more" implies that this is from 1982 -- this is more like 1973. With all that wonderful early '70s hair!
But it's delightful to see it. RM were so innovative, and so gloriously weird.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now i found another yea love this saw the play it at the Apllo in Glasgow 70,s
Awesome!
wtf is with the audience in this vid? Have they no idea that this is the best thing that will ever happen to them??
Boys will be boys will be boy-o-yoy-yoys
It's SOOOO true!!!!!

MORE!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎
Awesome.. pity the sound quality is not so flash Great visuals though
Yep, this is pretty good stuff.
"Too much cheesecake too soon" - Tell me about it, we've all been there.
amen!!!
Much better versions of this great classic soung out there.
Protopunk.
very Joy Division, which is actually post-punk.
Great band go and see tribute band RoxyMagic back in Scotland next year Kinross.
boys will be boyoyoyoyoyo boys
Love that sax.
does anyone have the piano sheet music for this song? beautiful stuff
Just love them🤠❤️
How can that crowd just sit there like they’re watching a movie?
RM have a touch of weirdness about them
Eno's outfit is excellent. But it hides his wings.
❤
3:30-3:40 !!!!!!!
This sounds musically like 'problems' sex pistols but 4 years before.......
Also hear a lot of x ray spex here.
When and where was this recorded?
@caronofbrid1957 Nice! With the 20 cycle thing that young bands tend to follow (listening to thier folks records etc.), no one has tried to tackle the Roxy trip. Might have to do it myself :P
I like the men without hats version
@orchidtender The audience was shocked, something new!
@SolsburyHill22 yep.
Is this taken from a film copy? The version on DVD appears to be straight from the broadcast tape.
Actually this isn't Musik Laden at all.. What is this version and where was this filmed?
Such a well behaved audience........!
Ha, incredibly Lame Statue of an audience, this screams for Dancing!
１９７３ roxymusic glitter!
Which came first--Brian's outfit or Rocky Horror?
... if this was not foreboding "Punk", then what?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
1982? No.
You can see where the Sex Pistols got God Save The Queen from
Incendiary. One wonders exactly what the fuck they thought they were doing at the time. One hopes there is no answer to that question.
John Travolta on vocals
John Smith Travolta in 1972? Classic Travolta comes from 1978.
This song really rocks but the tech back then for live performances sucked.
an actual live performance not lip synched fake crap
my least favourite one this!
Obligatory sax.... lame.
shut yer mouth - Andy Mackay's sax playing was and still magnificent!
Muffled audio
