The well established 70s glam rock style of Bowie, Ferry, and Bolan was revived in the early 80s as the New Romantic sound, as was Roxy Music itself. Where are the art school musicians of today?
Life's a trip. Always old for my age my mom used to drop me off by myself at the Plano skating rink outside of Dallas when I was 7/8 1975/76. They'd play this song, Thin Lizzy Jailbreak, ZZ Top Tush, Dream Weaver, and some funky stuff from Parliament and Hot Chocolate. Disco, the best rocknroll, and the beginning of punk all in the same era. Damn glad to have been a kid in the 70's!
The best, ever, eh? The naysayers have absolutely NO idea. I feel bad for them, honestly. They have no idea how great it really was. All they can do is read about it and hack on it. I’d go back there in one hot second, and even take the angst of being a teenager again if I could do it again. I was 15 in 75.
Man, that is one tight, funky rhythm section. The drums are subtle but effective for the beat, and the bass is wild. This must have been a big hit on the dance floor.
A NOOOO THIS IS 70s MUSIC THAT STRECHED IN THREW THE 80s ,, night night OOOO WAITE NOW ITS 80s music in the mid 70s ,, Whats next all music in the 70s was 80s music lol
We connect on this one! There's a new division of the Air Force nowadays it's called the USSF the United States Space Force. These are JUST the uniforms we've been "hunting" at least somebody else at least goes 👙 👙 wild about those two, good call Paul? @paullussier9349
He is lucky to still be alive after that harrowing British Airliner that plummeted 10,000 feet with him on it with his family after a failed suicide hijacking. Real lucky we didn't loose another great rocker in another plane crash.
History fact, Bryan had just been to the hospital to have his eye looked at, hence the bandage under the eye patch. The guy is an absolute legend for performing despite this!
Roxy was so different and cool. It felt to me like they were always playing in a smokey nightclub with a dancefloor. The tunes to me are classic. Even the record covers were a sensation. This is one of my top favorite bands and Ferry is one of my favorite singers.
When I was having my daily radiation treatments for throat cancer, I hummed this to my self while I was strapped into the mask. Ten years later, I'm alive and well, thanks to my great doctors. But I do believe love was the drug and it will always be my mantra.

This was the first Roxy song I heard. I just didn't get it, but something kept me coming back. I have now concluded that these guys invented the 80's. I can hear it.
Yeah, but has ol' Madge ever really done ANYTHING original? She's now gone completely insane while Covid-19 ran it's course. Singing into hairbrushes, taking bathes in milk and really believing ANYBODY wanted to see them...🤮
In the 70s and 80s there were various visions of a future that could be. Looking at this video, I see that we are now in comparison, an exhausted society. I doubt anyone could have the confidence today to go on stage in the West dressed for higher ideals. Even a pretension of higher ideals. Look at the stunning backup singers. That's vitality! We are a fallen timeline.
Bowie was interviewed around 74 and said "Roxy Music are the only group worth listening to". General Zod killing it on the guitar. All right how many ppl miss the 70?😜
Well, not entirely. For every Roxy Music there was a Minnie Riperton. And don't forget Gilbert O'Sullivan, Terry Jacks, Starland Vocal Band, Paper Lace, etc. Actually we *WOULD* like to forget about them. Thankfully there was CHOM-FM out of Montreal, which reached all the way into Northern Vermont. There you could hear Sparks, Patti Smith, Ian Dury, David Bowie, T-Rex, and of course, Roxy Music amongst plenty of other better yet lesser known music.
@@SenileOtaku Minnie Riperton? No way, absolutely glorious voice. The song might have been a bit corny, but her voice made it something ethereal. Afternoon Delight was a coffee break song, a quick escape from the books to make a drink so as not to miss the next song. And I still know every word to Billy..and I’m 60. Every alternate you listed to the corny stuff is the music that I was actually into, but even the bad stuff was so bad it was good. These days bad music is just bad, and not in a Michael Jackson way.
@@virginiaviola5097 Well, back in high school I tolerated them (far fewer options for alternative music back then, especially in the Northeast Kingdom). In the 80's I picked up on Punk, the 90's was Belgian Techno, and these days it's Vocaloid, Touhou Doujin, Japanese trance/techno, and various music from anime. Doesn't mean I've stopped listening to Roxy Music et al, just an expanded selection now. I'm 63 and always open for what's happening in the alternative/independent scene.
for those who are wondering, the way the drummer gets the bongo-like sound is because the snare is "off", in other words, the snares (the things that make a snare, well, a snare) are disconnected from the actual drum
I was a dorky 9th grader riding the bus to school on a cold suburban Cleveland morning to a new school. I had no friends, no boyfriend, no idea on how to connect and the neighborhood, though upper-middle class, was tough. The bus driver was a long hair, driving and rocking out to this sound. You couldn't hear the bus exhaust or engine. My life, my sexuality, my body, they were on hold. That song planted a seed.

The day before our taping, I was sent to the hospital to have my eye looked at. I had walked into a door or something. I remember thinking, 'Oh, God, we've got to do a television show.' Which we did despite my eye. In the video, if you look carefully, you can actually see a bandage with a dressing underneath. But the black patch looked good"
"Or something" 🤭 When you look carefully, you can see he's scratched up on his left cheek too. Don't think he 'walked into a door or something". More like an altercation with a recent intimate other. 😏😅
For some reason the line "lumbered up, limbo down" has been stuck in my head for months. I FINALLY found the source!! Now I recall this awesome song & the itch has been scratched. THANKYOU!

This is absolutely amazing and I really dig the drummers shirt. He either raided his twelve yr old sister's bedroom dresser or stole it from a little person's little and small store. Dedication never sleeps.
Wow Brian Ferrari has such class...what a trooper , singing with a patch over his failed eyebrow transplant...what a hero...seriously, love Roxy and Ferry and Co have great taste in backing singers and album cover models
Love love Bryan Ferry and Roxy music. Seen them loads in the 70s and early 80s. Still have my Flesh and Blood pin that we all got given at that gig at the Apollo in Glasgow... im 64 nowvand still got a huuge crush ha ha. Replaced my LPs with cds.. never get tired of listening to any of them. ❤❤❤ to you Bryan. Xxx
Bryan Ferry, WOW!!!!! Bring's back memorie's of my favorite time in the eightie's!!!!! Roxy Music is by far the coolest group ever!!! Their song's make you want to get up and MOVE, to their rythm!!!! Grab a partner, and just dance!!!!! Perfect music, from Roxy!!!!! From The Motor City, where we know music, get up and, DANCE!!!!!!
Currently watching Casino and this song is playing in the background of one of the scenes. I had to search the lyrics to find out who sang it because I forgot who it was. It's now been added to one of my Spotify playlists..☺️

I remember thinking, 'Oh, God, we've got to do a television show.' Which we did despite my eye. In the video, if you look carefully, you can actually see a bandage with a dressing underneath. But the black patch looked good"
"Or something" 🤭 When you look carefully, you can see he's scratched up on his left cheek too. Don't think he 'walked into a door or something". More like an altercation with a recent intimate other. 😏😅
For some reason the line "lumbered up, limbo down" has been stuck in my head for months. I FINALLY found the source!! Now I recall this awesome song & the itch has been scratched. THANKYOU!
This beauty 💎 is ripe with the *Fantastic* bass 🎸 lines of the late-Great Johnny Gustafson (1942-2014) ! 0:14 ..and Andy Mackay on 🎷!! 2:37 💕 🇬🇧 ... "Siren" album (1975) 🧜
Dominating bass line that's like a jungle beat...Amazing song considering how old it is...
Thank God you survived. I survived tongue and lymph node cancer 30 years ago. My faith, humor and great music like this got me through it. I wish you many happy times ahead! ❤❤❤❤🎉
This is absolutely amazing and I really dig the drummers shirt. He either raided his twelve yr old sister's bedroom dresser or stole it from a little person's little and small store. Dedication never sleeps.
I am not sure what modern music is (and I have heard a LOT), but this is better than any autotune crap that is coming out these days.
Wow Brian Ferrari has such class...what a trooper , singing with a patch over his failed eyebrow transplant...what a hero...seriously, love Roxy and Ferry and Co have great taste in backing singers and album cover models
Oh my god, this is so gorgeous! Blows almost everything else away. Still after all those years.
1975
Love the Pan Am stewardesses in the background.
The bass is soooooo awesome!!! And when the tele comes in!!
Brian Ferry and his great band, one of my favorites, saw them live in Toronto

When I was in my 20s this song pressured me. I was jacked up, still am.

Grab a partner, and just dance!!!!! Perfect music, from Roxy!!!!! From The Motor City, where we know music, get up and, DANCE!!!!!!
I'M a hard rocker at heart, but they played this many times at high school parties and I enjoyed dancing to it big time !!!

Currently watching Casino and this song is playing in the background of one of the scenes. I had to search the lyrics to find out who sang it because I forgot who it was. It's now been added to one of my Spotify playlists..☺️
It's 1:43am and i have to be up at 7:00am to work, and I'm listening to these great music to the heart and soul. Lord do i miss the 80's.
Me to But i miss the 70s THATS WHEN THIS WAS RELEASED 1975
I HOPE YOUR KIDDING LOL This was 5 years before the 80s were in Diapers lol
Bowie was interviewed around 74 and said "Roxy Music are the only group worth listening to".
Bryan Ferry was hot
This 1975 song is better than anything you hear these days.
What a band- what a time for music!
