I’m 15 and had recently started listening to Bryan Ferry and Roxy music’s songs after first listening to ladytron and 2HB from the movie ‘velvet goldmine’ and I’m literally obsessed now. 5 of their songs have suddenly become part of my most top favourite songs along with David Bowie and Queen. I’m so glad I found out about them!

My god this is fabulous. No band ever sounded or looked like this, and 46 years later it's still utterly unique. Simply mind blowing talent in this lineup.

[@oppothumbs1]

I like a lot of Roxy, not this song. The melody is good but too much mellotron and flute. Not into electronica. I guess Art Prog or more experimental stuff is not my thing so much. My favs are Love is the Drug, Virginia Plain, Avalon, More than this, Dance Away, Out of the Blue, All I want is You. And don't savage me but Brian Eno is not my thing at least on this song. Wondering if Peter Gabriel is going to pop out of Genesis and help out with some prancing around.

I think it's fair to say that he did not sound like anyone else at the time. He certainly was a major contribution to Roxy's unique sound.

[@sexobscura]

He actually inspired BROS

[@therespectedlex9794]

Way he plays it's like nothing on earth. 😁

3:55 Eno manually syncs his synthesizer's LFO to the beat. Love it !

[@田中修-t7p]

Roxy got it all so right.

That little jam with the VCS3 was fantastic.

[@michaeldillon3113]

So great to see Roxy at the O2 last Friday ( 14/10/22) 50 years after I saw them at the Central Hall Chatham ✌️

Eno playing on the Enterprise board from the original Star Trek series.

The rest of the band was headed for the transporter room right after this song...

It's life jim, but not as we know it..

[@JonnyRollin]

I remember watching this performance and witnessing something new,exciting, bohemian and the arrival of art rock -still sounds elegant and space age now.

[@grantwallace1882]

Had forgotten how much I love his voice.

[@iwaisman]

I also love David Sylvian' voice. So much alike.

[@d2d2d28]

It’s exquisite

[@gustavgnoettgen]

Remember when radios played that? They don't do where I live. Only modern pop or classic, with a few nice shows I usually miss.

this blew me away 50 years ago, still does...
