Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was well pleased by this German-made disc featuring shows from 1988 and
2002 by the undisputed "Coolest Living Englishman," Bryan Ferry, and his
handpicked backing bands. If you are tired of the mediocre music stars
of today, a dose of Mr. Ferry tingles like a refreshing Bombay Gin and Tonic
with lemon at Raffles Hotel Bar of Singapore (a favorite Ferry haunt)!
The concerts plumb Ferry's (and Roxy Music's) catalog of wonderful,
sophisticated rockers and torch songs dating back to 1972 (when the
"Roxy Music" debut album offered a bracing new direction away from the tired
"long-haired hippie" blues-rock of the sixties). Bryan Ferry was the first singer
of hard rock to dare to wear a tuxedo over his aching heart, like Bogart in "Casablanca."
He fashions for the listener a fantasy world of cool cars, gorgeous women, elegant art,
exclusive clubs, & Savile Row suits, none of which can stanch his exquisite anguish!
Ferry's anguish delivers our delight as he croons and roars hits from
"Ladytron" to "Avalon." It's a pleasure to report he looks just as
dashingly handsome in the 2002 show as he does in the 1988 one. The 140
minute disc has excellent sound and picture quality. Only by adding
Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay (of Roxy Music) could this have been better!
