I guess it's no surprise that so many Roxy Music songs sound almost as good today as they did back in the day. Classic! Plus, they make it look so easy!
Throw me on the carriage with a case of wine and a brunette we're running off over the hill to "Virginia Plain " , , a merry old song , love it ! Lol , 😆😉😉
Yes you can be cynical about 60+ ex rock and roller but I like this take on an old classic - he hasnt just repeated the original word for word, lick for lick. Enjoyed this!
Oh crikey I'm 18 again. Missing Andy Mckay but a brilliant rendition of one the greatest songs of the 70s. Sadly my computer could not make this any louder.
Will always be one of my favourite songs, sadly this is not a good advert for a classic. Sadly age doesn't come alone. The guy will always be a hero though.
one of my favourite tunes, if you cant tap your feet to this you have no rhythymn or soul :-) I thought the female drummer rocked the feck out of the song dai iawn
I agree...mad, mad, mad, BF Roxy aficionado but feel that BF lately is fading vocally but hey?.. I'm not yet in my 70s!! Trying to find a TOTP Pyjamarama vid but no luck...I'm sure he did the TOTP in a white tux...oh well!
@@DougKercher On good day he still manages well. But there are some bad days as well, and then the supporting singer is good. Just saying, I don't blame him, he still is classy.
I can clearly here someone else in the band singing every word with Brian, the only reason I can think of to do that is because Brian Ferry thinks his voice is not as strong as it was, that’s understandable but I still think Brian could of pulled this great song off by himself.
Not surprising really given it's many, many years later, but the drummer seems to be the only one with the energy and excitement this song originally stirred up.
@@peterjackson1677 just listen to the original version from the 70'ies. There is a great great difference....But still Mr. Ferry is okay - but just a shadow of his performance in the groundbreaking 70'ies. But still he is okay - we all mature and have a different texture in voice and performance...Now he has no spark in his voice....
@@klaushansen6433 I have been a Roxy Music fan since the early 70's. First saw the live in Manchester 1974, last saw Bryan Ferry live in New South Wales Australia 11 years ago. I am familiar will all the work of Ferry and Roxy Music. I agree Bryan's voice is not as strong but he is in his 70s now.
@@peterjackson1677 you are right. But still he is doing a fine job - and we all love him :-) Still worth to listen to...And their music will live for ever! We all faint a little with the years...
BRYAN LOOKED HERE SOMEHOW LIKE THE INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS GERMAN CHANSONNIER UDO JÜRGENS WHO DIED IN 2014 AT THE AGE OF 80. BUT NO BAD OMEN MEANT NOW....!
The start is too fast. This version is a travesty only classed as homage to the past. I first saw Roxy Music at the Rainbow Theatre (previously the bFinsbury Park Astoria). A group us were in the balcony front row and impossible not to jump up and down to this song. Im sure we nearly brought the balcony down. This was the highlight of the gig although Psalm with a 100 piece male voice choir on stage ran close. The support act was an unknown called Leo Sayer in a white clown's outfit singing The Show Must Go On. Very nearly stole the show, and clearly going to be a star .... before he turned into a perm haired burke. Ferry remains a genius given where he took Roxy and where he is now.
Nothing on Kate, Elton, and the average British Joe, but must even the lounge lizard pack pounds? It almost seems to be a requirement of British age, while in East Asia quite a lot of people, especially performers, get thinner.
So, all the avant garde nuttiness that made the original single so compelling and fun, when I was an adolescent lad, has been stripped away. When RM lost Eno, they lost a lot.
too low key,yeah we get it your older but its about performance brian,we dont care how old you are just keep the original energy,check out the damned for energy for an old band,age means nothing in these modern days of rock just put on an energetic show like its 76
Give me Paul Thompson on the drums any day. It is not the same without Thompson. Never will be either. It's like trying to re-vamp Led Zepplin without John Bonham. It doesn't work.

Great lady drummer - really enjoying herself.
One of our greatest artists ever.
Brilliant version of Virginia Plain Bryan Ferry and band 10 out of 10.
I just love watching this drummer as has been said before, she is a joy to watch and listen to, she puts her whole heart into it..
One of my favourite songs from my favourite band,it just doesn't get much better than this🎉
So cool and just so smooth!Bryan Ferry just bleeds charm.
This man is genius , artistic kind , lot's of memories , long life Brian !!!!!
you like him that much you cant spell his name..
the older they grow, the better they are.. love this guy and his tremendous staff 😍
Well, it's not quite true for his voice, as is obvious here and on his most recent recordings.
@@musicandfilms9956 Yes, Old Father Time is a ruthless adversary.
I " plain " love this song. Happy days😊
Top Singer Top Song. GREAT band (Roxy that is!)
I guess it's no surprise that so many Roxy Music songs sound almost as good today as they did back in the day. Classic! Plus, they make it look so easy!
Love that girl drummer. Cute.
Bring back the drummer lad from Jarrow
@@peterbrown9662 He lives not far from me.
Bryan Ferry, one of the greatest rockers/artists of all time! I put him right up there at the top, an equal to Bowie.
Bryan Ferry and David Bowie were my Mam's favourite artists of all time!!
Comparing Ferry to Bowie is like comparing a Skoda to a Ferrari! 🤣🤣🤣
@@poolieboy6403 Have you actually ever listened to Ferry then? Or are you just deaf?
@@Theo9.8 I’m from Newcastle silly boy, of course I have!!!
@@poolieboy6403 What's a skoda?
Top quality song top quality singer top quality band top quality all round
Throw me on the carriage with a case of wine and a brunette we're running off over the hill to "Virginia Plain " , , a merry old song , love it !
Lol , 😆😉😉
Always loved this song but the drummer stole the show she is epic.
Just found this and I agree, she hits them like she means it !
@@multilinkacs definitely my kinda drummer
probably the coolest singer to grace the planet, and what a brilliant song, the first record i ever bought..
Oh Bryan…. You‘re still fantastic ❤❤❤
That's cool !!
He is the man for the Job!!!
One cool cat was/is He👍👍👍

Watch Vic and Bob's version of the 1972 TOTP version of this. It's hilariously accurate
Sometime it`s good to listen nice old song!
He is a true master! - I agree with the previous commentator- but jeez he can keep going!👍
Feliz Ano Novo amor da minha vida Bryan Ferry
Absolutely class.. don’t make them like this anymore...
Loving the Guy Pratt bass line...
i love this man...SOOO MUCH
Excellent.!
Good music..!
Thx a lot
The band really enjoyed that. Britain at its best.
They are just perfect in their inperfection
How he always makes things sound good is astonishing, indeed.
What a song!!!
me encanta , me transporta y te admiro ,,como sientes la musica y la trasmites ,,,en cuba no recuerdo haberla oido ,,,mucha vida ,ere magnifico
Magical
Will always be one of my favourite songs, sadly this is not a good advert for a classic. Sadly age doesn't come alone. The guy will always be a hero though.
Plainly marvelous.
Kinda cool, they all looked like they were having fun.
I like Virginia plain!
This is the best song of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brilliant
Richtig geile Music !
Cette chanson vieillit très bien. Quelle classe !
Brilliant. 👏👏👏 Extra kudos to that wee drummer girl. 👏👏👏
Cherisse Osei, been in Simple Minds now a few years
Muy grande! !!!! Muy bueno!!!! Ole Tu!!!!
it does say Bryan Ferry,not Roxy music so why compare musicians.Great performance of a great song.
Class!
She's now the drummer with Simple Minds and is at the top of her game. Take a look at Chester Thompson, Phil Collins alter ego.
Great stuff - and how joyous Cherisse Osei is banging those skins - brings on a big grin.
prat
Pat Hetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤
Jo mei, thats really good!
Wow.
'I don't want to be really doing this. But if I must'
Still Kool
one of my favourite tunes, if you cant tap your feet to this you have no rhythymn or soul :-) I thought the female drummer rocked the feck out of the song dai iawn
Soul has nothing to do with Roxy Music.
God, that's awful! Really embarrassing.
@@kovvvas Soul is just a word they put on a genre. That doesn't mean that everything else doesn't have soul.
@@tsunemi4869 I didn't mean the genre.
MADURO. !!!!!!!!! COMO. O. VINHO. DO. PORTO. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
love the drummer.
Que vos !!!!!
brill drummer
Brilliant, a lovely look back, I think he did this just for the fun of it
He's still cool and pretty much still sexy in a sick kind of way 😉🤣😎
Excellent song. It's a shame Ferry's voice has gone (thus the constant backing vocals). Not bad for a man in his 70's.
I agree...mad, mad, mad, BF Roxy aficionado but feel that BF lately is fading vocally but hey?.. I'm not yet in my 70s!! Trying to find a TOTP Pyjamarama vid but no luck...I'm sure he did the TOTP in a white tux...oh well!
Not true! His voice is great.
Can you sing? You wouldn't light a candle next to him no matter how old he is. He still sounds great.
@@DougKercher
On good day he still manages well. But there are some bad days as well, and then the supporting singer is good. Just saying, I don't blame him, he still is classy.
@@CarnivoreforLife65 look for a Dutch show called Top Pop. On the Roxy Music wiki page, there's a screengrab of the show, he's in a white tux.
Who's the drummer ? She's Fantastic !!!
Now playing with Simple Minds
In the one when he was younger the piano part at the start is slower
cool personified
MAS. FOI. CASADO. OU. NÃO?????? DESCONHEÇO. !!!!!!! TALVEZ. FOSSE. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MAIS. NÃO. DIGO. !!!!!!!!!!
Soprano saxophone can't beat a oboe but sounds good.
When was this?
I can clearly here someone else in the band singing every word with Brian, the only reason I can think of to do that is because Brian Ferry thinks his voice is not as strong as it was, that’s understandable but I still think Brian could of pulled this great song off by himself.
sorry but I want the seventies back :-)
0:31 Christ, Andy McKay's lost weight!
Not surprising really given it's many, many years later, but the drummer seems to be the only one with the energy and excitement this song originally stirred up.
Not the same without Eno and Andy
what´s her name????'.....
Fat Ferry alas.
Visually, a damn sight better than the band playing the song live in Germany in 72... Lovely saxophonist .... Great rendition of a great song.
he never had a voice, just charisma
If Baby Jane's in Acapulco, why are we all flying down to Rio?
Because that's where the glam people went to all. They the same sheep in the end.
ferry has aged well...................h6uk
Sounds as fresh as it did when released in the early 70s. Roxy Music arguably the best band to have emerged from the UK in the 70s.
you are abselutely wrong....

Sad it's so softly sung but still has that great punch
That guy aint Phil Manzanera!
The band sounds more like the original than Brian. No Ooomph in his delivery. :-)
Bryan's delivery is always a little laid back, in his world its uncool to overtly give it ooph. Band ripped up the place though, 10/10.
BRYAN LOOKED HERE SOMEHOW LIKE THE INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS GERMAN CHANSONNIER UDO JÜRGENS WHO DIED IN 2014 AT THE AGE OF 80. BUT NO BAD OMEN MEANT NOW....!
.
No OOMPH or impact like the 70's version did.
Not a patch on the original musically or vocally
Bryan looks a bit under the weather and thin
There are way too few parts for rock oboe
But is the girl here playing an oboe? It looks more like a soprano sax to me.

Was that about April 1973? I was at that show....about halfway back, downstairs...took the Victoria Line from Walthamstow Central...
@@douglasharre7156 defo April 1973. Yes.
keyboardist with the beard seems nice, but anint no eno
Why is Bryan Ferry accompanied for the whole song by another singer? Pity.
An excellent version, apart from his voice - it is shot.

Roxy is looking a bit rough
The 'Man's Man' MOST of his songs were about women he'd boned....Fair dues to the geezer
Bullshit what was Ferry thinking? That awful backing band are a insult to classic Roxy.
