Not the same without Eno.

[801liveable]

@dirtynuke Yeah, but it's still good. I can see your point though. Eno, brought a little edge musically and style wise. This is a landmark song, I believe. 1972 the birth of new wave. Of course long before Elvis Costello's appearance on Saturday Night Live 1978.

[NoTeaBaggers]

I agree with Shan - 39 - that's thrity nine years Virginia Plain has been on vinyl! That's also 20 plus 40 for any band member!. Simply the best. Was this at the Apollo in NYC?

[UrfinDzjus]

Paid month salary for the Roxy Music LP in Soviet Time. Still don't have a pity.

[ukjake39]

Great post bramovitch - brings back great memories for me. Thanks.

[katemckinnon]

What an incredible show. I wish I'd been there, so thank you for posting these.

[OzzInter]

ROXY still ROCK after all these years!

Fresh and exciting version of this song!

[020djm]

I have the original [vinyl LP] albums & it was a treat to see your live performance YouTube offering.

[SirLeeOldgit]

wonderful! does it matter that I'm 69 years old and I love Roxy music? - no way!

[Erwo55]

MAGIC



[MANHATTANBEEFMAN]

I wonder who the luscious blonde in the back with the maracas is.

[Talkingforfree]

@MANHATTANBEEFMAN

Julia Thornton...beautiful!

[020djm]

Vinyl LPs are consigned to the loft here, so I enjoyed YouTube offering.

[KayleePrewitt]

Saw Roxy Music at Montreux in 2010,. Sensational!!!!!

[marked1959]

whos is the blone playing tamborne

[zoomer581]

@marked1959 She's a freelance musician named Julia Thornton. In addition to percussion instruments, she also plays the piano but specializes in the harp. She has worked with other bands recently, and you can see her perform on the live version of Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds.

thanks for making virginia plain i can not believe that people talk about medium things like the beatles haha but they also think that there is a god i mean t to say it s not important to be the most popular band no the sound of this is genius creation xxx

[astrophonix]

Sounds like Ferry just can't be arsed.

[huzdra]

Always great song,but the REAL Roxy played it MUCH better in the '70 s...

[chemicalkid100]

Absolutely superb in almost every respect. Roxy were and still are in my top five bands of all time. However, I dare to make a couple of minor criticisms. They played this at far too fast a pace, trying to cram in too many songs into a gig, at the expense of quality. Also I agree with the comment about there being too many 'extras' - backing vocals etc.

[malcstag]

still cool, lost its edge a bit , I guess he became a bit of a ponce later in his career

[misterjoecool]

Phil Manzanera looks like he's having a ball.

[clive66swimworldwide]

sanitized, kareoke version of a classic...unbearable to me..I wish they would dump all the unnessasary shit...extra guitarist, backup singers extra keys, etc...Destroys the Roxy edge!...The only tracks that were really great from these gigs was Chance Meeting, Ladytron and F.Y.P.....Cant blame Eno for not wanting anything to do with this!

[Polyphemus]

Brilliant version of the song. Is anyone else picking up on the Bryan Ferry-Mitt Romney separated at birth thing?

[mloaks]

who is on Keys? drummer is awful

[josephherve]

Some girl shaking her head is on the keyboard. You can barely see her. She is not in the most desirable position. The comparison with Eno on this track is unavoidable. She is just reproducing the sound he invented 36 years earlier...

[Croftamie7]

must be at least 29 yrs ago i saw him play at the Apollo Glasgow Scotland

i seem to get older but he still looks same lol

Music is still Best in my opinion :)

[shan128]

I can think of very, very few bands that sound this excited to play songs they've been playing for 30+ years. Roxy is one of the greatest bands ever!

[freeflowfirst]

Well, there is not much bands that made exciting songs
