Bryan Ferry Glasgow

Interesting set list from Bryan Ferry - very light on "hits" and some real Roxy obscure material. Probably on the back of the debut album re-release. Really good concert and the band were superb. I would expect more hits at the Bandstand later this year if you happen to be going.

The Main Thing

Slave to Love

Ladytron

Out of the Blue

Windswept

Oh Yeah

If There Is Something

Simple Twist of Fate

Avalon

In Every Dream Home a Heartache

More Than This

Zamba

Bête Noire

Bittersweet

Love Is the Drug

Virginia Plain

Remake/remodel

Jealous Guy

Do the Strand

Roxy Music - Glasgow Second Night

I was lucky enough to get more or less front row tickets for the second night in Glasgow of Roxy Musics For Your Pleasure Tour.

I was not quite sure how good this gig would be but have to say the whole show was simply outstanding. The band were absolutely superb, Ferry is certainly wearing well and Manzanera and McKay showed what outstanding musicians they are.

A strong set list drawing on less obvious material and a good smattering of the hits. I even enjoyed Jealous Guy which normally makes my skin crawl.

The set list:

The Main Thing
Street Life
Pyjamarama
If There Is Something 
Prairie Rose
Just Like You
Amazona
2HB
Like A Hurricane
Tara
Bitter Sweet
Sentimental Fool
To Turn You On
Same Old Scene
My Only Love
Avalon
Jealous Guy
Virginia Plain
Love Is The Drug
Editions Of You
Do The Strand
For Your Pleasure

Bryan Ferry - You Can Dance

I'm quite looking forward to the new Bryan Ferry album Olympia, which promises a return to form. The lead single is You Can Dance which sounds to me like a Bete Noire era track and that is no bad thing. Flea on bass and Nile Rodgers on guitar certainly create a good sound.

Though what on earth he was thinking of with this video I'm not sure:
