Going to Roxy Music tomorrow night.

[XNASA]

Anyone else gonna be there?



Mrs. XNASA is completely ga-ga over Bryan. This usually works out to my advantage.

1. I love Roxy Music...

I have always has a crush on Bryan Ferry. Sigh. I wish I had my Avalon cd at work. :-(

[Loonman]

2. Saw 'em 2 years ago

Great show. Not as long as I would have liked, though.

[Robin Hood]

3. I love Roxy music and Brian Ferry.

I did not know that they were still together.

[XNASA]

7. No new material. Kind of a reunion tour.

We saw Bryan last November doing a tour in support of his "Frantic" album, which is quite good.

They're only doing a handful of US dates. I know that band reunited for a big tour a couple of years ago. I have the DVD. It's great.

It's Thompson, Manzanera, MacKay and Ferry, with others filling in. No Eno, of course.

[Loonman]

4. Only one beef

No "Mother of Pearl". I hope they play it at your show,

[XNASA]

8. Here's the Set List from the last couple of shows.

No "Mother of Pearl". But I'm not complainin'. Look at the rest of the songs.

Re-make/Re-model- Street Life - Ladytron - While My Heart Is Still Beating - Out Of The Blue - A Song For Europe - My Only Love - Oh Yeah - Both Ends Burning - Tara - In Every Dreamhome A Heartache - Dance Away - Jealous Guy - Virginia Plain - Editions Of You - Love Is The Drug - Do The Strand - For Your Pleasure

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Oh, Man!

That's is one good set of songs. I'm envious.
The Professor

[Loonman]

12. Great set

Looks very similar to show I saw.

[Robin Hood]

28. What?! No Avalon?

[quispquake]

5. Congrats!!!

Will be a GREAT time...saw them a coupla years ago, and it was AMAZING!!! (The show's been released on DVD too). Have a SUPER time (and pray they play "Ladytron"...will change your life!)

[XNASA]

10. Looks like Ladytron is on the current set-list.

Did you catch the Venus in Furs version from the movie Velvet Goldmine?

You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down

[quispquake]

15. I LOVE that song...

And Manzanera just TEARS IT UP at the end...one of those "Peak Moments"...especially after the 5th tall one kicked in :)

[treefrogjohn]

6. Ferry is great

I have been buying his music for years. I have all the Roxy music as well but only saw them once. Way way back when Eno was still with them. I would love to catch them again but lived for over twenty years in South Carolina. No one good ever plays in South Carolina. I recently moved to Califonia and the Bay Area and may have a chance yet.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. What Venue?

Man i loved Roxy back in the day! I think Love is the Drug is one of the best pop tunes ever recorded. I liked everything they did both before and after Eno.

Country Life is my favorite album, though.

Where are they playing?
The Professor

[XNASA]

13. Tweeter Center

I managed to scrape up a couple of Private Skybox tickets.

Jealous?

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Damn Right, I'm Jealous

I used to like you two. Now i have to hate you. I don't deal with envy very well.

Damn it. You don't even have to drive far to get there, either. {{{{Grumble, grumble, murmur, murmur, "Damn XNASA", harumph, harumph}}}
The Professor

[XNASA]

20. And the tickets were free.

And I've got VIP parking.......

Should I keep going????

[GOPisEvil]

21. Prof...I'll hold him down...you smack him with the 9-iron!

:argh:

[XNASA]

22. Hey. I finagled these tickets fair and square.

I victimized some guy who had no idea who Roxy Music was. I said I'd do him a favor and take the tickets off his hands in that case.

I think he's a Repube, if that makes you feel any better.

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

25. Well, as long as you fleeced an idiotic Repube...

...Prof's sand wedge could do some damage. He could scalp ya with that thing!

[ProfessorGAC]

26. IF (and i mean IF) he's a Repuke, Then I Feel Better

Have fun. (Well, tell Cate to have fun. You, i'm still undecided about.)
The Professor

[ProfessorGAC]

23. I Get To Smack Him More Than Once, Right?

I mean, now he's just rubbing it in. I should get at least 3 or 4 smacks for that! And, i want to use a sand wedge. Bigger flange.
The Professor

[XNASA]

27. All Right! Ouch! Oooooo......

I promise not to go near the shrimp cocktail...........and........I'll even pay for my own beer.

The hitting is bad enough, but did you have to prod me with the grip-end as well?

[SiouxJ]

14. Lucky you!

I've never been fortunate enough to see RM but I did see Ferry solo back in the 80's. I'm gaga over him too ;-) I was just listening to "Boys and Girls" the other day - man what an album! Gotta be one of the sexiest albums ever. Have a great time.

[MiltonLeBerle]

16. I already had tickets to the B-52's at the Hard Rock

when Roxy went on sale.
I wouldn't want to see them at a mega-venue like the Tweeter anyway, though...It could never be as good as the show at the Auditorium.

[XNASA]

19. Yeah. I know but.........

I saw Ferry at the Chicago Theater a few months ago. And I've saw RM at the Uptown, many years ago.

Besides, the Tweeter is just a few miles from where I now live. And I got free ticks. So........I guess I'm goin'.

[MiltonLeBerle]

29. You can't beat the price. And it should be a good show.

...Judging by the set list you posted.
It's too bad about what the Uptown has, or rather hasn't become. The only Sprinsteen show I ever saw was at the Uptown.

[stoystown]

18. Aren't these guys dead?

They were popular in like the 1970s!!!

Back when I listened to pop radio!!!

[MaineDem]

24. Oh my my my

swooning here

I swear that "Avalon" album is real FM music. And I'm not talking Frequency Modulation. :evilgrin:

Is it raining in New York on Fifth Avenue.... ahhhhhhhh

I hope you enjoy the evening.
