Roxy Music - Remake Remodel

[MotherFunkAndWagnall]

Ironically, I well remember the first time I heard this tune in '72...a drug-hazed era, it was.

It's a bit of genius. Catchy and kitschy...junk makes you itchy.

[DanRislor]

No wonder Paul Thompson is called The Great Paul Thompson, with breaks like the one starting at 5.06 ! Plus he's bloody powerful without being flashy. And listen to how he backs Ferry's vocals - he knows exactly when to open up and be heard and when to be an accompanist. A great drummer - no, sorry, I mean a brilliant drummer.

[ranstanding]

Smokin live performance. Just discovering Roxy Music is like finding gold....

[Andrewsuber]

Phil has a smokin' searing guitar solo

[katoklzmk]

this is for all ma peepz

BTW I want Enos purple feathers

[6664818GGG]

Great rendition. love the lines, "Next time is the best time we all know. But if there is no next time, ... where to go?" Koanesque and true. We all look for ever greater fulfillment in the future. But what happens if there is no next time. Only Brian Ferry could deliver "Where to go?' as such a genuine query and yet with confidence in the journey. Like Mott I discovered Roxy after they'd been around for a couple of years & thought, "How could I not have known about these guys yet?" Greg Gibbs

[Kristopful]

The 1 dislike pressed the wrong button by mistake.?

[Kristopful]

F'k . One of the best live performances ever.

The views are not so high, as ppl don't know about this Iconic live performance

[chyawanprashfanatic]

This is the most ridiculously amazing music performance ever. I've watched this dozens of times and it always takes my breath away.

[fieldingista]

I read in a John Cale interview that Brian Eno became highly averse to performing on stage. Apparently Eno even broke his promise to Cale that they would perform their 1990 joint album live, causing a rift between the two. It's hard to believe when you watch him shimmying in this concert. Awesomeness!

[Taffypoison]

Saxophonist licks the cymbal at 2:07...anyone?

[ColdOasisU2]

for some is hard to understand how this guys infuenced sex pistols

[thompsoee]

Only in the 70's could an all-white lounge suit look understated!

[nlm1984]

Mackay quoting Das Lied Der Deutschen? Classic!

[micheljch]

@nlm1984 must've been taped for a beat club show . . .

[peasantsoul]

1 person didn't like Eno being in a feather boa.

[silv3rchim3]

Lord help me, but I adore Roxy so...!

[touaregk]

what i' m gonna say will be probably dissed..

but this sound is really the essence of heavy metal.

Manic and on tune.

Fuckin' brilliant!

[spirenkovaFM]

fantastic! and charming Eno in plumes))

[sanjhunt]

First time I heard this, I assumed it was made about ten years after it actually was! Truly amazing.

[ballicks]

Such a great performance. I'll be seeing Bryan in October. I wish I was seeing Roxy Music back in the seventies though... Haha

[Canardodo]

This is just the perfect song if u want to air guitar alone, front of your comp.

[shyguy76]

Unbelievably underrated band!!

[shinysynthcity]

This is amazing (but it's Roxy, so expect no less). How does Andy Mackay have any breath left?? Just wow.

[Weirdbald]

Superb band, superb musicians. So far ahead of their time, and rocking like nobody's business. No band today gets anywhere near this.

[wallosund]

enorific!



[telegrammsamm]

On most planets, it's illegal to rock that hard.

[marcfedak]

Great progressive punk song, great performance and solos. Thanks for posting this letpunk.

[rtsinister]

These took a time machine to the gig.....

[dirk1959]

This was the beginning of the Roxy Music ' Revelation' that started a whole new sub-culture within the music scene, and heavily influenced dozens of other famous bands for the next 10 years! Awesome....

[wuidyen]

Brain status: Melted

[joebstarsurfer]

cool

[sheffield1867]

oooh Look, Musicians that can play instruments. Fucking tremendous.

[stevemangler1]

Unreal . + To think of the era '71-'72 ? They blew away just about everybody .

You name it + I'm sure they'd have kicked their asses ha ha .

That's about as heavy punk aggressive progressive whatever as it gets .

[1unsung]

@stevemangler1 Man that is totally on the button. They were so avant garde. How I loved that initial line up. Brian Eno and Andy Mackay wringing all manner of sounds from sax. The very first album I ever bought, shared with my Sister, because we loved the cover, mysterious and so chique. Genius, pure genius. Respect!!!!!!!

[glennpagemusic]

God damn. (Almost) 40 years later, and this still rips my face off.

[ramone]

Best song made by them,

so talented guys

roxy music for life

[TheGoodmansRadioShow]

This is a fantastic version, where's it taken from?

[astrophonix]

The band with two Brians!

[samtheman1957]

In ancient times I purchased the vinyl "Roxy Music" (first album) which opened with this song.

At the time, one had to imagine what Roxy Music sounded like live, three television networks, no internet, no YouTube and virtually no appearances on American television.

Anyway, I am astounded at how stiff the recorded version sounds in comparison to this raucous jam .(Roxy jamming? Knock me over with a feather!)

Grateful that I can see these performances after all these years.

[DrugStabbingTime]

So ahead of their time. they played fancy sounding, actually proffessionally done punk rock (new wave?) reminscent of Talking Heads and influenced vast amounts of artists (David Bowie being a big one). Why the fuck they are so underrated and overlooked is beyond me... Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by now..

[DrugStabbingTime]

@DrugStabbingTime

they played punk rock before punk* which Talking Heads must have heard**

[satorotas93]

why what?

[huzdra]

The embryology of Punk Rock. I wonder why Sex Pistols don't made a cover of this masterpiece.

[kellyanquoe]

i'm hard

[sydferret]

He still has mojo.

[bdfilms01]

one word---mindblowing!

[snelitt]

AMAZING! Eno, Matazera and Ferry at its best!!!!!!!!

[millstreet11]

Eno is a freak! But what a freak! Love the full deal! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

[citimen10]

Verry exciting!!!

[MrSKINFLICK]

I advise everyone to watch the more than splendid upload by stephenhaskell of "Street Life" (from the same Musikladen 1973-special) here on You Tube" - sheer perfection in style and music ! And they used wireless instruments at that time which was absolute news !

[hansisalive]

I love Eno's outfit! The feather shoulderpads are priceless.

[MrSphibe]

WOW! This is even wilder than the August 1972 Paris Theatre show! And thanks for the post,I'm gonna have to hunt down this DVD!!! And quick.

I'm gonna watch this together with Stereolabs' French Disko!

[manusch23]

fucking great

[NYrocknrollbitch]

I have the musicladen DVD..this is one of the best roxy performances I've seen archive wise...

[MrPougetoux]

cette version la ,est tout a fait Exelente et très bien enregistré ! j'adore

[Kristopful]

CPL593H...to use a Car registration Number as a corus.!!

Inspirational genius.

[tbzeee]

the perfect mix of inspired amateurism, prog, and flat-out killer rock n roll. manzanera is my fave underrated guitarist. this was available on VHS with some of the later musikladen footage (w/out eno), but i haven't seen it on DVD (in the US).

[maclennan73]

@tbzeee I agree and he wasn't even their first choice 'perfect guitarist' but started off as a roadie for them!

[bafaism]

I have been yesterday in Bonn, excellent concert! The best one... they open with Re-Make, Re-Model!

[impiboy]

Fuckin' YESSSSSS! Astoundingly good! :)

[sheffield1867]

they performed editions of you on during the same set, it was on youtube until it was recently deleted. what a version that was too..

[Kristopful]

Stunning jam!!..Like all the band was trying to outplay each other and Ferry was never on better form.

Could anyone tell me if this concert can be obtained on DVD... I saw "In every dream home a heartache.." from the same concert, and thats fantastic as well. Roxy Rocks.!!

[astrophonix]

Love how each member gets a little solo, so Andy Mackay does Deutchland uber alles! Roxy FTW!

[schragemusik]

What a row! And every note of it is wonderful.

[alasyon]

Yes, 4:39. Burned into the frontal lobe. Undeniably underrated as musicians.

[jasonbigelow]

oh yeah. FUCK yeah,great way to start my morning.

[Roodillon]

I can't stop watching this!

[fixbarber73]

@Roodillon

Neither can I. I have to go and lie down every time I see it. If I play it too loud I start wanting to smash furniture.

It's amazing.

[Roodillon]

4:39 cooks!!!

[JackM2409]

6 minutes of pure greatness

[industrialsun]

I love it! Who could ever want more? Roxy! Roxy! Roxy!

[MsMelvin18]

OMG!! I remember why this was my fav band. Here they each out-did each other - Eno, Manzanera, Andy, Ferry AND "Pudge" Thompson!! and looked great! p.s. Brian still looked just as good last year when I met him!

[kurukuruparify]

5:00!

[thewinebottle]

lol that the creepy singer... wou o-o-o

[mac6away]

Letpunk.Kudos for such a good post with good audio! Nice Crazy Roxy! I watched this version 3 days ago & it's been stuck in my head since! CPL593H

[OlausPulaus]

@mac6away CPL593H Wasn't that the register plate on Ferry's car?

[mac6away]

@OlausPulaus Your right you know! Never even crossed my mind that it may have been..Dug around the net and it seems to have been on a car that was driven by a beautifull woman Brian Ferry liked the look of..

[talkingwall]

Really interesting how the stuff Eno is doing sounds like the kind of thing "DJs" were doing with their scratch platters years later. Very pioneering. One of the only bands that my Mrs likes that I think is truly incredible (I'm mostly a jazz ala Miles Davis fan)

[surfinjo]

CPL593H

[Maquiladora83]

Wonderful drumming.

[Ptrgamb]

This is the single greatest music video on all of youtube. Manzanera's amazing, so is Thompson

[rhythmcorp]

so godamm great. words..... useless!

[suzesrc]

one of roxy at their very finest!

[kaini]

roxy on fiiiiiiire here

[vunderground1]

Mental!

[borjokos]

This is THE great Paul Thompson beat!

Super

[kulika73]

Class.

[L0K3]

SUPERB!

[TylerStDa]

Phil Manzanera looks like a Klingon.

[Avalonesque]

great version thank for uploading

[loxi59tica]

The audience seems to comprise of cardboard cutouts.

[DrugStabbingTime]

@loxi59tica

HAHAHAHA

[kabeauregardajax]

@loxi59tica it's in a German theatre, it housed around 2000 people, it was like their night out and it held a host of bands from everywhere, these bands were the foreign attraction, so maybe even unknown, and the music was so different to the German scene then...... If you see any other clips of groups, Bowie, Ramones, Stevie Wonder.. It's the same thing, the stage was made to look like a small club. I love it myself actually!

[NanB14]

@loxi59tica If you look immediately in front of the stage there was a camera crew filming, getting all those front stage shots. The audience has been pushed back and there's no room to dance.

[loetzfan]

@loxi59tica Close, they're german.

[joerjob]

Which of the bass players is in this one?

[MarioMizune]

このメンバー全員が同じステージに並んでる絵づらが凄い。それに­このとてつもない音の濁流。ロキシーミュージックといい、モット­・ザ・フープルといい、ボウイといい、ホークウインドといい並べ­立てればきりがない当時の英ロックシーンの異常なパワーって、い­ったいどうなってたんでしょうか。

[rhythmcorp]

@MarioMizune i agree.

[Dietpepsivanilla]

@MarioMizune I don't know what the fuck you said, but I like it!

[jak88jones]

Fucking hell

mega

[Tobias2012]

I like how Roxy Music is just bringing it so hard... and some in the crowd are sitting sedate at front row tables.

[jorgealbertobaron]

CANCION DE SU ALBUM ROXY MUSIC DE 1972.

[lufc74is]

yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhh­hhhhhh

[vinylosaur]

Mackay on fine form!

[RockMusicLover73]

RAW! Just the way I love it.

Thanks so very much for posting this.

"Musikladen" always featured plenty of great performances.

[Ptrgamb]

Actually, the band improved greatly when Jobson replaced Eno. Eno's contribution to Roxy was always overestimated. It was never even as great as Mackay's or Manzanera's. Jobson's performance on "Out of the Blue" alone surpasses anything Eno did in the band. I saw this as a huge fan of Eno's solo work.

[LBjim]

Thank you. I have been telling my friends for years that Jobson's contribution was more signifigant than Eno's in Roxy just compare the discs..

[Diegomix1978]

I don't know man, i think the best work of Roxy was with Eno. And the Album Eno did before Roxy was great.

[satorotas93]

Stunning-this performance was taped in Germany and I love Andy Mackay's musical pun on the sax!

[patashnikk]

After Eno left, the band were finished let's face it. A few flashes of inspiration on 'Stranded' maybe. Everything after was dross.

[mrroxy1000]

thats an opinion, and one which i would contest, first 2 albums are the best but, both ends burning, dross, have a word with yourself.

[jjamo5]

awsome

[climbon74]

killer SAX !! man what happened when the 90's came around I like this a lot more

[furyplum44]

The 90s was the death of good music :(

I <3 Roxy music

[HumanJarv]

The 90s was NOT the death of good music, by no means.. The 80s were rich with great music.. but tread carefully with that generalisation :P

[iangordoncraig]

Wow. This is when Roxy were GREAT.

[MarioMizune]

すべての音楽スタイルを飲み込み、かつ、メンバー全員が変態度を­競っているようなステージングに感服！鶯谷あたりで観たかった！­個人的には、ポール・トンプソンのストイックなドラミングも大好­き。

[sirPUNKsir]

wow! oh yes!

[catshaveteats]

Consummate professionals

[screenanme]

Yeah, I went to see them the week after their 1st ablum came out...must have been about this time...awesome! They still have it here!

[RATM4LYFE]

That's the one.

[furyplum44]

1:52 i think my brain exploded due to awesomeness!! this is one of the most AMAZING Roxy performances i've ever seen!!!

BRIAN ENO IS A SYNTH GOD!!!!

[dirk1959]

I'd say it's a performance that highlights ALL their individual talents ... though Thompson & Mackay stand out for me on this number ;-)

[Ptrgamb]

You know, I like Eno as much as the next guy, but ....this performance is all about Phil Manzanera and Paul Thompson.

[RamonesKaraoke]

I heart Eno. In a totally butch, guy kind of way. But he is just brilliant, and Warm Jets remains one of my fave albums.

And don't get me started on the Seven Deadly Finns!!!

[Ultraciuk]

Great Brian Eno

[bobgreen623]

ENO indeed Dylan!! i only really liked Roxy until Eno went, I kind of went with him.... saw them back in 72 at the Farx in Potters Bar supporting Pretty Things after hearing them on Peel's show doing the Bob medley, great they were too.

[DylanRude]

ENO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ColtraneTaylor]

Awesome beyond measure!

This just blows every other band away, they should bow their heads in shame.

[screenanme]

This blew my mind! My friend Colin brought the album on the friday back in '72 and we went to see them at The George in Croydon on the sunday. We turned up early and helped Roxy in with their equipment, got in for free and met them all, then watched a fab gig! Haha...my life's not been the same since!

[HowfenHoe]

Mind blowing...

[elgoogy]

Aliens, fuck my brain!!!!

[barbh1]

Wow, so hot! Thanks!

[r2d2ott]

Quite simply, the most insane, surreal, bizzare band ever. Brilliant!

[Ptrgamb]

Glad this got put back up, I was missing it. This is the single best live music clip on youtube

[milk115]

roxy at there finest... nothing on this planet comes close

[JamesHogg112]

Unbelievable!

[darapperr]

Besides, hear his strange voice when he says: Re-make/Re-model

[darapperr]

Look how brilliant Ferry is!

[soulchosen]

What is wrong with the crowd? They are in the presence of greatness!

[diskochimp]

@soulchosen They wake up at the end!

[MrSKINFLICK]

@diskochimp: Read my comment about that time (1973) for souchosen....LOL !

[MrSKINFLICK]

@soulchosen:It was a special on Germany´s first public channel,do you think the audience should have stormed the stage?When i watch"Top Of The Pops-"or"Old Grey Whistle Test"-audiences here-they were equally lame.It was a time when hippies were sitting on the ground mostly l i s t e n i n g to concerts in halls or open air,the dancing came only back in 1975 with the disco wave+in 1976 with the punk/new wave scene.Roxy Music+New York Dolls+Bowie were fighting Yes+overlong boring prog rock trax!

[Bonkestonk]

@soulchosen The very comment! ( understatment: this is it something!)

[satorotas93]

@soulchosen They're Germans

[Nosferatu64]

@satorotas93 Why?

[Electra100]

Thank you so much for putting this up! It was taken off Youtube several months ago & I've missed it. Superb live version.

[boenils]

Fantastic! Thanks a lot for posting this!!

[MANHATTANBEEFMAN]

Awesome live band...

[AnUnseenRuler]

This band was never better than at this moment. Eno rocks!

[Electra100]

Never mind Eno, they ALL rock.

But Andy's ON FIRE!!!
