I have always loved the Lennon original but this is a very good cover, very well done and pays homage to the genius of both Lennon and Ferry. Brian took this Lennon classic and made it his very own!...Legendary!
One of the few songs that I lean more towards the cover than the original. Incredible cover. AND he did this song as an encore, if I am not mistaken. You can see the sweat on him before he even starts.
I have whole concert on vhs cassette the name is Roxy Music Live at Frejus France I have watched hundred times. This song is finale of the concert. Superb concert!
Was he the one who played on the Avalon album? If so, yes. Great bassist. It was a bit difficult to keep up with all their different bass players. I think they went through something like 20 of them over the course of their initial 10 year run.
What a performance, from the most talented band, and singer ever. Sheer class. With their orignal distinctive sound, and superb production. A deeply emotional song for me, for obviouse reasons. The best cover of a song ever. I feel every second of this song in my heart, those strings. Great music, from a time when, music was great. A timeless, haunting piece, as good today as ever. Just amazing. Thank for posting. Beauty beyond words. LOL .
Wow… every bit as great live as it is on record. One of my greatest regrets is that I never saw Roxy Music live. In my defense, I was a bit young (born ‘67), and they split in ‘83, only about 3 years after I really started getting into them. Anyway, this is every bit as great as the incredible single version. Man, they were a top notch band. Just jaw-droppingly good.
Für mich, der beste und schönste Musiker aller Zeiten. Mit Dir, habe ich meine Jugend verbracht. Love of mey live. Noch heute ❤ alles Liebe und Gute für Dich. Wir sind ja nicht nicht so lange mehr hier. Belive in Jesus ❤
I tend to be really late to the game a lot. I never heard this before and I was a teenager when Lennon was killed so I really should have been aware. It's incredible as good if not better than the original. I will.call it a tie because I love John Lennon's version with Nicky Hopkins on piano
I was very very fortunate to see Brian Ferry with Roxy Music at The Kleinhan's Music Hall (a beautiful, acoustically excellent venue), Buffalo, NY, circa 1976-1977.
The man singing the song...makes or breaks the performance...... The people around him can be the BEST..... EVER.... But the singer conveys the song and the performance of all.
Thank you and you band-player's for special's moments in muzik History!! I can't forget this very bad bad day, at the Same MOMENT, I greatulated my brother Ralf for his Birthday, came the horryble message about John Lennon is shot Down In the Radio! I coudn't believe..... Greating's from Germany ALEX B.
was performed on the 1982 tour in homage to the late John Lennon, who had died in december of 1980. That was an amazing tour and this was one of the high points of it.
@@mikestevens5837So let me make sure I have this right…. Lennon was ‘killed’, but he didn’t die. Is that about right? Oh, and it was America that killed him, not a mentally disturbed and completely obsessed fan who had been stalking him outside his home on the upper West Side of Manhattan for several days? Right… because no one ever gets murdered by stalkers anywhere else on earth other than the USA. So noted. Must’ve been a conspiracy too, I’m guessing. Several different government agencies involved? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I am happy to watch this video. Nice memories. I was at this concert at the time and really enjoyed it. I was right under the stage and watching everything closely. I have always liked Roxy Music very much. Especially when they were promoting the AVALON album. And that's not all! This evening they also had a concert by King Crimson:))) SuuuuuPeeeRRR !!!!
I was fortunate enough to grab the import 45 of this tune. The studio version is just an astonishing performance from some extraordinary players. Very few people had the record, and most people had only heard it for the first time on a compilation. I kid you not, I still get goose bumps when I hear it...
I’m American, and obviously here in the states they weren’t anywhere near as huge as they were in their native UK, or in mainland Europe or Australia… so one thing I remember is how this absolutely masterful, transcendent tribute was essentially ignored by American FM radio. The only reason I ever heard it back then was because of my aunt, who was a rare American Roxy Music obsessive. In ‘81 when this came out, they were her favorite band. She had the import single and played it for me. I was just 13 at the time but I was blown away… both by the song itself, and by the utter disbelief that it wasn’t being played *AT ALL* on the radio. Such was often the case with these things here in the good old USA. A lot of truly amazing and essential bands that were megastars on the other side of the pond were just completely ignored over here. I’m still not sure why that is.
I won this album from whfs Annapolis MD, in 82. It was a promo, I think ep. Still have it,along with four other Roxy albums. Also have Brian ferry solo, think it was let's stick together. I Remember listening to Avalon late at night, the whole album would make chill out at the end of partying
I was at this Tour im nearly sure its Avalon and the best concert of my life ahead of other Roxy/Bryan gigs but they were all brilliant... Wish i could go right NOW!!! ❤
Hey, weren’t you the one correcting everyone on the spelling of Bryan’s name? I see more than a few grammatical boo-boos riddled throughout your comment. Y’know, since we’re pointing these things out.

He's the James Bond of rock music.
James Bond, Count Dracula, Oscar Wilde, and Ben from Blue Velvet… all wrapped up into one elegant, influential, and original motherf#€%er
Superb ‘analogy’
yeah Man......to grow up here and appreciate a guy named Ferry......is an accomplishment......
Suave and sophisticated
A man so cool he can piss ice cubes x
Mr Ferry ladies and gentlemen! What a great performance!
Please make sure this is always on the internet. What a damn good performance after a damn good show.
gotta give some love to the back up singers soulful bit too
Best version ever !!
to me the best version ever !! always was
Yes
Está canción, está versión en vivo en una joya única.
Gracias, gracias
Disfrutemosla

Agree
Sorry but it's BrYan 🙄
He did the same with In The Midnight Hour.
This song is the original, John Lennon covered it
Lou Reed covered this song too, his is an angry version, LR turned jealous and angry singing powerful version, I think this one is the best.
I have whole concert on vhs cassette the name is Roxy Music Live at Frejus France I have watched hundred times. This song is finale of the concert. Superb concert!
Imagine! Ferry and Elvis singing this timeless song together, and John just listening
terrific performance, bryan ferry is soooo cooooooooooooool
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this live!
I'm a jealous girl...he is amazing!
And I´m Jealous guy, `cause we (our generation) have the best music..
I'd jump on stage
Joy Wright I had the pleasure last week watching him live :)
did you? I'm so jealous - I wish I had seen him in the 80's - I love the Bette Nour tour!
This version was more of a shock really. Meaning a cover made better pure genius of roxy music
Alan Spenner's bass playing is top notch stuff. It lends a completely new dimension to this song.
He deserved MUCH more recognition.
Was he the one who played on the Avalon album? If so, yes. Great bassist. It was a bit difficult to keep up with all their different bass players. I think they went through something like 20 of them over the course of their initial 10 year run.
@@Shikta-poobah67 Indeed!
I saw Roxy Music in 83 or 84 and it still stands out as one the best concerts I have ever seen.
The bass playing is top notch.
Yea he's elite
I’m a guitar player but the bass in this makes it , incredible, love the bass
I saw him live at The Chicago Theater and he sang this and I wept throughout. Just beautiful.
Beautiful. Have tickets to United Center show in September- really hoping this is on their set list.
One of the best covers ever...
42 años después sigue tan vigente. Feliz noche de la nostalgia Uruguay. 24/08/24.
I love this man!!!!!!!
I really love him!!!!!!!

Roxy Music does it every time I hear their sounds. Voices, piano, guitar, sax, drums, whistling.....❤❤
Roxy is A Drug❤❤❤❤❤

Our married song first dance party opening, ❤1982
🥰🤗 try to awakening him, waiting, whats the miracles???
😍💕💞
Still brings a tear to my eye like it it did back in '81. Brian Ferry's great tribute to John Lennon after his death.
True.story..whistling..is. Excellent
Well.like..the.live..song...ferry..is..great
Ferry sung it as a tribute to lennon in December 1980
I tend to be really late to the game a lot. I never heard this before and I was a teenager when Lennon was killed so I really should have been aware. It's incredible as good if not better than the original. I will.call it a tie because I love John Lennon's version with Nicky Hopkins on piano
@@tonydoherty2190 Ferry’s version was released in February ‘81
La migliore interpretazione di questo pezzo musicale è la tua... sei e sarai sempre il migliore interprete di questa melodia...
I love Bryan Ferry soooooooooooooooooo much what a heart throb, Roxy is the ultimate in music in my view!!!!
Yeah, one of the most beautiful Songs....... Bryan ferry..... And the okey dokey Band

I was very very fortunate to see Brian Ferry with Roxy Music at The Kleinhan's Music Hall (a beautiful, acoustically excellent venue), Buffalo, NY, circa 1976-1977.

He dint die he was killed thank you america.

geile zeit die 80er, geilste band und bester saenger ever, brian ferry, das lied gehoert unter die 10 besten songs aller zeiten.....

superbe hommage à JOHN LENNON le héros de la classe ouvrière.
How i would have liked to have been there. Stunning this is. Love his whistle. Love him
El Magnifico and Brian Ferry. Nice combo .
I won this album from whfs Annapolis MD, in 82. It was a promo, I think ep. Still have it,along with four other Roxy albums. Also have Brian ferry solo, think it was let's stick together. I Remember listening to Avalon late at night, the whole album would make chill out at the end of partying
+David Dove HFS in 82, those were the days. How much great music did that station expose us too?
i love him for me one of the greatest Songwriter
Bollinger 🍾 pour toi Bryan!!
Magnifique Chanson..Absolument!!!🇨🇵
Carla
Beautiful! Great performance. 👏🎩❤
Me encanta esta cancion. Tan bien cantada!❤
....bellissima canzone.......
06/2020 Simplismente amooo esta música !
Essa é mais uma das versões ou regravações, das músicas "que são e o que poderiam terem sido".
so handsome voice
Johns death so hearting; even in 2014, Remembering John Lennon, and of course Roxy music!!! This golden, old times fighting and aching back!!!!!
This is so beautiful! Why is music these days such commercial shit and not as beautiful as the old times? Best Song ever!
Roxy Music = Old version of Spandau Ballet ❤❤❤❤
Even John Lennon would like this version.
First time I heard this was in a French TV show from the 80's where the band played themselves staying at a hotel, concert at the end
Amo está música e mais ainda o cantor!:❤💃🕺
best version......thank you :)
I was at this Tour im nearly sure its Avalon and the best concert of my life ahead of other Roxy/Bryan gigs but they were all brilliant... Wish i could go right NOW!!! ❤
Hey, weren’t you the one correcting everyone on the spelling of Bryan’s name? I see more than a few grammatical boo-boos riddled throughout your comment. Y’know, since we’re pointing these things out.
Featuring the great (late) Allan Spenner on bass.
Ох,прекрасно🥰
Great memories, had to have a flick.
