This brings back fond memories though.

I wore this video out. I loved this concert. I think it's Bryan's best filmed and orchestrated tours. NEW TOWN was the name of the VHS. Great concert. Wish I was there.

[Stufireman]

Love this mans talent and music....life goes on and his music makes it better

[stinger139]

BF made you feel special because you are!!

Where would Music be if it were not for Roxy Music,along with The Beatles,Stones,Who,Bowie,Elvis .....

Absolute Legend...and such a Wonderful Track,love the bit where she smiles as the crowd show their appreciation..

Great great song..

[MrJuno6]

Such a soulful voice !

[paulgad]

How can this have under 70k views. this is one of the greatest songs ever. And my favorite genre is punk. But this song is beauty in sound to its purest sense. It is the perfect song.

[thailandier]

[MrDollarhyde]

Smooth like my balls

[wo804349]

very nice sound quality, very clear - and a great live performance. I love how the performers enjoy it as much as the audience.

[cleopatraproduction1]

[cleopatraproduction1]

one of my all-time favorite singers.

[heliadelicia]

wonderfull....and so so sexy....elegant too

[sebbbo77]

3:34 - 4:00 .... this is the verse for absolute "party time". We play and sing this verse over and over at the end of a BBQ party ... sipping champagne and beer and all shouting "Avalon" while the wild woman screams ! "Avaaaaalon !! Coo coo choooooo Avalon !! uuu uuuu uuuuauaaaah"

[johnnyalonso1]

this is soooo awesome. totally reminds me of younger years on the beach with my friends - yes, when life was a little easier and everything was just good :)

[rollingstones01]

I have always loved this song, it makes me fly ; I love the melody and, not like many cool songs, it's not a sad one.

Bryan and Yanick both have wonderful voices and it's always a great pleasure to listen to them.

This version is really awesome : the most beautiful I have ever heard ! Thanks for this great moment of happiness !

Françoise

[djspl51bw]

Thats was a fantastic live performance of a great song.

[MrHanstar100]

The best music came out of the 80s and the best times were had....Thanks for the video

[kindanice101]

Gawd. What a great vid. I saw this tour and just died. She was amazing. My only disappointment was not hearing the sax...but this song is listed as of my favorite songs EVER. I agree...every now and then I pop the song on my iPod and just melt...

[jgd4sens]

Yanick, thank you. This song never gets old. I listen to this every time I need a little escape. Peaceful, haunting, beautiful, I wish the song would go on forever. Thanks BF/Roxy/Yanick.

[lucassbpa]

come to brazil pleaseee

[mbala]

a big thank you to yannick for touching me like not one of the many big name pop divas ever could...and to bryan ferry for that avalon album which i keep next to my miles ,trane and bobs (marley and dylan)...BF yu large!!!

[svy70]

Wonderful the way Etienne captivates the audience at 3:05 and they adore her in the end, even Bryan Ferry smiles at her.

Magic.

[AtlantisAvalon]

Etienne Yannick... Your voice makes me fly, there's magic in this song...Can't get enough!!! Luv u BFerry!

[YanickEtienne]

Thank you so much, Atlantis. Can't believe it's been 21 years since that one. My last Avalon performance was in 2001 The Reunion Tour. It never gets old. lol

[VoodooFanMan]

I just about cry when I hear you grace the song's end. It makes me very happy. Thank you.

[zebul0n7]

Ferry has the talent of changing his music to the times

[zebul0n7]

cunter you human retard.

go to the beginning , middle and end of

roxies music and you will notice it.

If he stuck with the early music he wouldn't have had all those hits.

You are so stooopid

you have a brain the size of a pea

and that is a compliment

[lizzyw8]

you sick...go get therapy or back to rehab or prison for sex offenders...or whatever evil black hole you have crawled out of !!! There is no place for your disgusting hateful language on u tube !!

[climbon74]

When I saw this concert in AZ everyone was waiting for Yannick to hit that high note, the crowd just erupted and the grin on Ferry's face was priceless!

[YanickEtienne]

BF made me feel special every time!!!

[Jaguar67EtypeXKE]

Yanick, your sweet voice and absolutely MADE this song Magic.

Wonderful.

Reminds me of the female voice in Pink Flloyd's song, MONEY, Dave Gilmore lays down the basic theme of the song, but it is greatly enhansed by the female input.

Regards, Dave

[kinshasaAPP]

@YanickEtienne You are special Miss Etienne, lovely pipes. :)

[0marylene]

@YanickEtienne

No wonder, we see that it is proud of you, it must be a pleasure to work with Bryan Ferry! I would really like to meet him! I'll see Sunday, August 29 with Roxy Music Festival "Rock en Seine at Domaine de Saint-Cloud, will you be there? Would love to meet you too.

[RoadWarriorPrincess]

@YanickEtienne You are an amazing singer - your voice always thrills me. Thank you for sharing your gift, Yanick!

[YanickEtienne]

@RoadWarriorPrincess  Thank you, RoadWarriorPrincess. :)

[alounacara]

This song always gives me goosebumps and makes me feel as though all is good in life

[cadburyenglishman]

This was a hot concert tour, I'd wish I'd caught it...thanks for sharing this wonderful video series....

[Onlydreamin1959]

Ferry is probably one of the most musically-adept of out time. He can pull off a live performance and a video with the same grace. This is a great live performance, one of the best of Ferry's that I've seen. There's nothing about this band or Brian to dislike.

[Electra100]

Definitely the best live version I've heard. So wonderful to hear Yannick Etienne recreating her vocal.

[Queenesy]

Bryan Ferry is such a wonderful artic and musician! really great version...i like every show he did with all that sweat...god he's so hot and great loking aswell! great posting thanx for sharing!!!

[zzhamstring]

I concur with that thought !

[meline0013]

bon son!!!

[ATKO74]

Dvd of this concert and Munich 2002 gig soon to be made available on double dvd pack - about time too !

[globaljetsetter]

Greatest song of all time. Brings me back to 1984-1985.

[ATKO74]

The best live version of Avalon there is - nice and up tempo and with Yannick Etienne - the backing singer from the original, still able to belt out the song

[trieck]

This is some of the most ridiculous drumming I've ever seen.

[ScooterGirl9988]

Some of the most ridiculous drumming you've ever seen, or heard? Either way, that's Andy Newmark on drums and he's played with Roxy Music, Sly & the Family Stone, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Sting, Pink Floyd, Ricky Lee Jones, George Harrison, B.B. King and Carly Simon, just to name a few. If he's good enough for them, he's good enough for me.

[thedavisgroup]

Great 80's tune

[fredisbono]

c est pas mon type de musique habituellement mais franchement ca vaut le coup de tendre l oreille! Quelle détente...c du bon...

[0marylene]

Cà me fait plaisir de lire çà ! J'adore Bryan Ferry avec ou sans Roxy Music !

Bryan Ferry a des styles de musique très différents les uns des autres, et c'est toujours de la très bonne musique et chaque morceau est un pur bonheur !

La choriste qui a une très jolie voix s'appelle Yanick Etienne.

[zzhamstring]

Merci !
