Bryan Ferry on The Late Show with David Letterman

[Primitive1960]

I guess you can sample your own music!

[penismightier1]

I completely adore this performance!

[libermusic67]

Letterman actually has some very good artists on this program!

[penitentiaryofdreams]

awesome!!! he's the greatest.

[fisen333]

finns bara en sexig man.....det är du bryan ferry..looove you

[rosie276]

i didn't even know about this album. Sexiest man in rock and roll. Ever.

[7855waldo]

As long as people have talent, Dave's always going to have a job.

[musclexboy]

Mr Ferry is as magnificent as always.

What a class !

[Retrographer]

This guy is an icon... I grew up with his voice and music, and he's as great as he ever was!. Mr. Cool himself with a hell of lot of integrity in his luggage....

[Bobbileat]

How did I miss this guy "back in the day?" So glad I've discovered him now! WOWZA!

[jlovebirch]

Been a fan forever and it's great to see BF still getting it done, with style as usual. But what amuses me about this appearance is that the redhead girl behind Ferry looks so much like Shirley Manson of Garbage.

[hulakan]

Who is that dancer? (..the one they zoom in on at the end.)

That is one freak/sexy vision. She more gaga than the lady!

[ddr78759]

This is from the generation of great musicians(60-70's)...and the more I go back to the 60's 70's and 80's I find music I like better that the stuff out now.

Apparently I'm not the only one.

Note...Bryan's son on drums.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@ddr78759 hope there are more and more people discovering the great music from then, I'm doing my share, i am spreading the blues everywhere i perform

[largelingerie]

@largelingerie -- oops, I double commented. Sorry.

[largelingerie]

I mean, he's 66 years old, and he puts one hand on his leg, and the other on the microphone, and then does that MOVE of his....and I'm swept away (being polite!) . Oh....older men in suits.....!! He's too cool, too sexy, and has finally grown into his musical genre! Dave, stuttering..."I enjoyed that!"

[theforcesdatb]

Well, my experience at his Toronto show was less than favorable. It's a great story. Read it in my blog Bryan Ferry in Toronto 2011 REVIEW (blogger dot com).

Hint: His show was phenomenal... the audience? Disgusting.

[RICKEYCJOHNSON]

Go Miss Jade and Miss Marie the dancers

[marklynd2]

A true Master.

[54taqiyya]

they look like russian slave girls. red dress gals, that is. had a couple in my basement.

[gabri3logiatx]

wow the afroamerican girl at our right hand be a uuuu tiii fuuuul mmmm yomi

[wolfennyc]

In my book I've always thought

Bryan Ferry = the coolest white guy alive

[vegasable]

i call him bryan best burdz haaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[TheStigma108]

LOL - The Moog Little Phatty is a monophone synth!!!!

Shades of Robert Palmers Addicted ot Love here!!!

[oneflashoflight]

@TheStigma108

Right?!? HAHAHA...on it's BEST day that synth couldn't make a single one of the tones heard here!?

Hopefully, the tour doesn't consist of hot chicks faking to laptops hidden behind the curtain. I can certainly hit him with a few tomatoes from where my seat is!

Leave that $hit to Katy Perry, Mr. Ferry!

[MrEdlgar]

@oneflashoflight

Dude, how old are you? you may wanna keep listening to your top forty etc. before a musical genius like yourself thinks that he could let the cat out of the bag.

[oneflashoflight]

@MrEdlgar

We musical geniuses don't listen to Top40 but we are aware of it being a detriment. We also play all of our instruments live in real time and realize that laptops and softsynths have afforded people who have no business being on stage the opportunity. This is why the bulk of TOP40/modern music is pure garbage.

Do keep your well thought out and eloquent diatribes coming! Stupid entertains me and I'm in between tours, right now. Ahhh, winters in the tropics!!

[MrEdlgar]

@oneflashoflight

Alright then. since you're on tour n all. I'd love to see your real time video. Is on You tube by chance? cos I would like to check it out since I'm a fan of multiple genres.

Thanks

[wontsitdown]

this is as good as it gets. The band, which includes his son on drums, is fantastic. My wife and i are flying to Miami and Atlanta for the first two USA concert dates...can't wait.

[gewglesux]

I loves all of Bryans stuff, I like this CD too- just not as much as his other efforts... I think he's coming to NYC shortly too.. I have not seen him in a while..

[7ccardoso5]

Brilliant as usual !!!...

[firthoffifthtom]

I will be there at the palace in Cleve 10/10

[HYENALAUGHS1]

DELICIOUS!!!

[SavikDan]

classy performance, and the black girl on the right is so hot...you can easily tell that dave loved this ;)

[wevetra13]

He's still got it. Grew up listening to his music and it's nice to know he's still around.

"Olympia" was a nice surprise...

[jimdlemons]

is and will always be the most suave dude ever! Loved his stuff since early roxy music!

[buniluvr]

I love this man! I have tickets to see him in October. Can't wait!

[jrmetmoi]

The guitar player's sorta hot for a redhead guy.

[OfficialCLindquist]

Bryan is and will always be the "King of Cool".. And he's without doubt one of the best lyricists out there, if not the best ;) You rock Bryan!

[bazzelinebill]

can anyone tell me who the guitarist and bassist are ?

[chrissybee2009]

Hahahahaha ur shit and ur fans r creeps ! That's all I'm saying !

[bigpeppyk9]

The bass guitar that drives this song is awesome! Oh yeah, those ladies can dance!

[rick694uk]

I must watch this video every 2/3 days! What a classy performance, and that dancer..........do we not know her name yet?

[pathogensmusick]

Bryan Ferry... always so smooth, controlled & classy... his first 2 albums were master-pieces.

[JamesHunterRoss]

This is a man in his mid 60's... who "gets it". Soulful, hot, and relevant! A very powerful performance, great band, hot dancers, man oh man.

[yarneg]

Other-worldly. At 65 Ferry is amazing. What a band. Watched this at least 30 times.

[TomWalks]

wow

[raygoshay1400]

Zero dislikes... deservedly so...

[54taqiyya]

lol, bass player looks like joey "fingers" lemongello. this is killer.

[davzert]

This is everything a great performance should be.

[MrsMamouna]

Love it! Thanks for posting.

[bigpeppyk9]

This performance knocked me out! Yeah, those ladies can dance!

[54taqiyya]

no face no name is ny other fav from this cd.

[wdamian]

Needs more cowbell....

[bobarazzi]

Everything I liked about Roxy Music and now more women

[videoauteur]

Just way too cool. Waiting for US stops

[doffincodger]

Memories of Robert Palmer- Good!

[NeuroniumMusic]

The greatest , the best and the most sophisticated musician of all times, at least for me.

Mr. Ferry got that "touch" of high class that anybody else got...Better and better with the years !

[MrBlueAgave]

@NeuroniumMusic

Very well put !

You have summed it all up, short, sweet, eloquent, and to the point !

[universetechnique]

Remember I was here.Thai

[thehoundz1]

Fabulous!

[BigCountryJASon]

Still sounding AMAZING after all these years...some things truly do improve with age!!

[mor7mx]

Fantastic album, great to see some tunes performed live

[carlheinz]

.I wanna dance with that dancer....wow!

[Jalban]

@carlheinz I know... they're nuts...

[henleyisgod]

What a damn sexy man.

[floppyd0g]

I think I need to go and sit down...

[54taqiyya]

the guy rocks, i wish to see him again soon.

sounding and looking good!

[rick694uk]

I don't know if you guys stopped the clip when the credits started to roll, like me. But right at the end of the clip there is a 2-3 sec close up of our girl, which I'd missed before! Very cute. The dancers weren't on his UK TV performances, so it must just be in the US. Have checked his site, but can't see any other TV appearances planned. I don't know if the Bryan fans have anymore info?

[natateaful]

@rick694uk Of course, I paid attention to that close up after the ending credits, I even pressed a pause button on the player to have a more detailed look at "our girl" (well said, btw). As for the rest, it's not an easy thing, you know, to be such a... know-all fan if you live a bit far from UK :) but as I wanna be informed anyway, I view the forum from time to time (you may link to it from the website) for more info concerning any TV performances, upcoming gigs, etc.

[azwriter5]

Liked seeing this but would have preferred if camera showed the musicians more and dancers less! Really don't like Letterman, but watched to see Ferry here in the States. Hoping he tours here in the States.

[acnatural]

Thanks for posting! I knew he would probably be on Letterman, just didn't think it would be this soon. Awesome,he's soo darn cool, I wonder if Bryan did any other promo spots while in New York. Roxy PLEASE come to the States as part of the summer 2011 tour.

[rick694uk]

That dancer is gorgeous! The camera (and Dave) obviously like her as well. Anyone know who she is? Great track from Bryan. Haven't listened to him since the 80's.

[natateaful]

@rick694uk Same question here - I'd like to know the girl's name too. Anyone knows maybe?

[thomasbrypat]

The dancer is fantastic. Yes, that one.

Bryan keeps getting better every time.

I cant believe I saw their reunion show 10 years ago

[kanecaptain]

SUPERB AS EVER

[kanecaptain]

SUPERB AS EVER

[rak1793]

Ferry has a distinctive voice. I like the groove he has here. He could have developed that groove a bit more towards the end. The dancers were unnecessary but added a bit off visual flair. Made me want to buy the album.

[serotone9]

@rak1793 The dancers are totally necessary, since the name of the track after all is "You Can Dance."

[janettetsmith]

He is awesome!

[artgraham]

Sophisticated, soulful, and sexy. 

[alogusz]

Nice!

[natateaful]

I can’t stop admiring you all - so beautiful you are. Thank you, bravo!

[TheAmusingBunni]

Thanks for posting, Bryan, I missed this last night, cause I don't watch Letterman ;-)
