Oh my God! That was fucking amazing. "Grey Lagoons" is so ridiculously underrated. I love this song. :D

@CitizenGatsby So true, a few songs from the same album are underrated. I love this song and "Beauty Queen".

My God, they were sooooo fucking ahead of the curve. There was nobody like them unless you count the hundreds of bands who came after them and tried to emulate them(i.e. Duran Duran).

Many thanks to all who post such classic clips. So few videos featuring Brian Eno at this time, and this one has him dominating background vocals in full ostrich feather attire! Its a shame Eno drew so much attention away from Ferry, that it caused dissention in the band resulting in him walking away. Roxy never sounded quite the same without him, with all due respect to Eddie Jobson. Nice to see so many years later Ferry and Eno working together on projects, proving they can overcome diff.

@DundeeBhoy2007 Yes! "Beauty Queen" is one of my most favorite songs from 'For Your Pleasure.' So underrated. :)

One of the most under rated Roxy tracks, pure genius

@hahasaidthecar You're right it was "Beauty Queen"...Brian Eno, had no claim on the band anyway..As he admits Roxy Music was Bryan Ferry's baby..He created the concept..Formed the band..Created the style..Wrote all the music(on the first 2 albums)..and sang the songs..Eno, treated the instruments..You couldn't tell who the frontman was onstage in the early days..Ferry, admits he was too insecure to take center place..It was at the insistence of EG records, that he go there..

@801liveable it was during "Beauty Queen" that Eno himself walked off stage, wiping his hands of his most fervent fans, who insisted on chanting "Eno, Eno, Eno" during a favourite song. Bryan, who was rattled by this, did indeed say he wouldn't work with Eno again. There was rivalry for sure, and a battle for the direction of the band. Ferry won. Much like the Cale/Reed split in the Velvet Underground. It was a split that ultimately benefited both camps.

El primer Roxy Music era una delicia.

@tonyvideo2000 fuckig brilliant! Sandy Becker was ahead of the curve....

this video illustrates one of the reasons ENO, left ROXY MUSIC..ENO and BRYAN FERRY at both ends of the stage maybe fighting for number one billing. i read it was during a live performance of "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL" that FERRY thought ENO, on the other side was trying to upstage him..after the song FERRY stormed off the stage ranting he would never work with ENO again..but in this video listen to eno sing his heart out..listen to ANDY MCKAY'S honking sax..and BRYAN FERRY looks like DRACULA..

If you were a kid in the NYC metropolitan viewing area in the late 1960's you saw Sandy Becker do his Hambone dance. I wonder if that made us readymade Roxy fans as we got older?
