Roxy Music – Viva! Roxy Music (The Live Roxy Music Album)

Such a good live album. A shame it's only a single disc.

Brilliant live album from one of the all time greatest bands. This and the album Country Life are my favorites - but truth be told I love all their albums. Highly recommended.

This is hands down my most favourite Roxy Music album. I drifted away from them when they started their crooning period. Their early stuff is their best for me. I bought Viva! on release and I’m still playing it now nearly 50 years later.
As a previous commentator said, if you are an early RM fan this should absolutely be in your collection.

i have this white label on dead wax blair and 20 ilps9400a1 b side I-73 ilps9400 bs any help as i cant find anything like it on here.

upon further listening I can hear which songs were recorded at a different concert in a different year. not that it matters. I have always loved the drama that roxy music adds to their live music. and for 1973/74 this is a great live album. Agreed this is the demarcation between the early roxy and the next stage of their evolution. they were/are still great live act as shown in ther early 2000 live releases and their 2022 tour. have owned my copy since 1989 still sounds good.

Live 1975 very raw 5/10 if your a fan or a completest it will be a must have...
I own everything Roxy Music so is was the last album I bought being a very rare Promo copy that is not even listed here on discogs 😁

The live version of "If There Is Something" on Viva is the best thing the band released. The rest of the album is stellar as well.

My copy of this has the label of Bad Company "Run With The Pack" on Side 2.

Does this remaster actually sound any good? I've always thought this album sounded dull and has a muddy mix!

Much-maligned by the music press at the time this is in fact a superb live album, drawing the line on the old Roxy to make way for the new. The quality of the recordings is fantastic with great atmospherics. Standouts for me are the opening Out of the Blue with its incredible attack and The Bogus Man and If There is Something with huge soundstage. But its all exceptional really. If you like early Roxy Music and don't own this then I'd heartily recommend you add it to the collection.
