Viva is such a great live album, the band are absolutely on fire and so tight, they are in each others pockets. I just wish it was a whole show. One of Roxy's best albums for me, and one of the best examples of a classic live album i think. I still play it a lot.
This is a great live Roxy Music album. This tour, which would've been for the Siren album, was the 1st Rock & Roll concert I ever attended. Bryan wearing a old style army shirt with a patch on one sleeve that just said Roxy Music. I've got one of those patches.
Fav 20 RM songs - Ladytron Prarie Rose My only love End of the line. Manifesto Angel eyes Just another high. Street Life Pyjamarama If there is something Oh yeah, on the radio If it takes all night Virginia Plain Love is the drug. Amazona Mother of Pearl Casanova A really good time Both ends burning Sentimental Fool
The omly live footage I can think of roxy performing this live is from a television show called musik laden I don't recall viva roxy ever being filmed still a great song
I've been a Roxy fan for nearly 50 years, and this song was one of the last to grow on me....took me ages to like it 😄 The studio version is better, though
The track is about his relationship with the transexual Amanda Lear, who was the model on the cover of For your pleasure They say you have a secret life Made sacrifice your key to paradise
Great band BUT am I the only one who thinks Bryan Ferry's vocalisation on all his performances is actually Kermit the Frog suffering from a touch of the Flu ? 😷

Always nice to visit your channel for a Roxy reaction !!!
Viva Roxy and 801 Live are my personal favorite albums.

Roxy live at the Apollo from 2002 is incredible. It’s on U tube.
We used to watch them rehearsing at Lambton lion park before they were famous
Next - live wersion of Remake/Remodel on Musikladen. Absolutely riveting.
‘Street life’ next please!
I saw it live at painters mill theater in 74 with 800 people in the audience
Pyjamarama was also played on the 2011 concerts..as always Mackays sax was ace
Simon Artley Manchester UK
ferry accentuates his sing ingwith the perfofmance art of the lyrics not dramaticatily but naturally with the
flow of the lyrics
Roxy Music - Street Life, would be a great one next
It's Bryan, it's the sax, and it's Manzanera.
you could understand the lyrics listening to to 74 concert it,s Ferry performance art thats were you
get into the feel of the lyrics
Ladytron sounds great and very futurisic.
The omly live footage I can think of roxy performing this live is from a television show called musik laden I don't recall viva roxy ever being filmed still a great song
I guess we could do the album. It would've been nice to see it, though
You sometimes get the impression the US just doesn't grok the AWESOMENESS of Roxy Music. 😎
If you're referring to us, we are Canadian. And we really enjoy Roxy Music.
you need to see bryan reacting and self dancingn to his music
I've been a Roxy fan for nearly 50 years, and this song was one of the last to grow on me....took me ages to like it 😄 The studio version is better, though
oh your kidding 74 was incredible
Excellent, well done. Could you do this with out the talking, so i can listen to it, in my car.
You had to be there, you have no idea.....
seen them live in 74 class, check out Ladytron old grey whistle test
we did a reaction to Ladytron.
cynthia if you read the lyrics you will apprecciate more his lyriics hav e been considered better than the Beatles in England
The track is about his relationship with the transexual Amanda Lear, who was the model on the cover of For your pleasure
They say you have a secret life
Made sacrifice your key to paradise
Something she's denied. Looking at her overall body shape I'd be amazed if she were born a male.
They don't like Bryan's voice much.
You might like to try the studio version also, which is rather wonderful.
THIS WAS ON B SIDE TO VIRGINIA PLAIN WHICH I PREFER
This song wasn't written when Virginia Plain was released.
@@alaska_uk1303 Yes. According to Wikipedia, the re-release had Pyjamarama on the flip side.
No the original b side was The Numberer.
it,s ashame you won,t get a copy of the lyrics people in britain say there better than the Beatles
lyriccs .I believe that also
Great band BUT am I the only one who thinks Bryan Ferry's vocalisation on all his performances is actually Kermit the Frog suffering from a touch of the Flu ? 😷
Roxy bad; Bryan Ferry baddest
Don’t get too keyed up!
