I liked Roxy Music back in the '70. I thought they were groundbraking, and for me, the following years proved that they were so in advance on styles and musical formulaes that when these trends came nobody remembered that Roxy did it first, and perfectly.
Ferry is a genius. To me, there is no question. He sees, he does ! He also have the ability to introduce novelty, show its potential, keeping it accessible and palatable to anyone who has interest in art and forms.
They were retro before retro, punk before punk, rave before rave, house far before house even had a name. Ferry weared suits and 50's garments with a streamlined design when the WHAM guys were still eating pablum !! He sang with a heart and an emotional (and off key ...) voice before Tears for fear was there. Maybe Bono got the point before the others, still in the end of the '70s. Rythmic sections, song construction, classics (crooners, rythm & blues, jazz, '30s and '40s hit songs) remake, what were'nt they the first to tackle, while Hard Rock was just beginning, before Metal. They were also a prog rock band, in their very special way, but never entering the 30 minutes opus domain. Still, if you listen to Yes or Genesis, or Van Der Graaf Generator... you can feel some very Roxy passage. They were know and famous musicians followed their gigs (Peter Gabriel confessed it !)
And, shall we say, they are classy, and Ferry is class !
So reuniting this band in 2001 for a tour, without lavish money and some 50ish (... or more) musicians, the question had to be answered : can they make Roxy live again on stage ?
Well, with the aid of very talented and informed younger musicians, and most of the orginal ones (Eno is missing but ...), one must admit that it is an excellent work. It is Roxy ! The sound and video quality is very good (Still, Clapton's Crossroads are amazing and the one to measure by ...), the music is all there, with the benefits of experience and aging. It sings ! It touches !
I liked very much Ferry's DVD of his performance at The Rex (Paris) in 1999. I like even more "Roxy Music Live at the Apollo"! This is a full package of very Roxy music. Some of the best, all fine music and performance.
This DVD will run again and again on my projection and music gear.
