Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug (Live 8 2005)

[@Mark-eu4ds]

He was 30 when Love is the drug came out in 1975. He was 60 when he did this.. I think he sounds better at 60. Bryan Ferry is like a fine wine. Gets better with age!

[@T0mat0S0up]

To me, he looked 50 in 1975.

[@charlienorton2337]

@@T0mat0S0up He looked 50 back then and looked 50 in this performance as well

[@suzilynfarquharson6692]

Yep!" And he certainly is even sexier too at 60, he's 76 now & I am still crazy about him!😃👍❤❤❤

[@karlforster1685]

He always looked older but maintained this age

[@carmencita.k]

I think you might be mistaken there,even though he is still great,there were a few bum notes

[@theaterdreamer]

God forgive me for taking so long to get into Bryan and Roxy Music. They were so far ahead of their time.

[@Zionist-Occupied-Government]

Not many folk know the true secret of Ferry being such a fanny magnet.. To get that smouldering look Brian simply chops half a dozen strong onions and inhales the gasses just before heading out to perform . .

[@stevielongworth6853]

I love Roxy Music but this version is to fast for me personally, iv e been learning this song on Bass so was surprised when Guy Pratt started it as fast as he did. Sorry Guy because i do love your playing but for me this song has got to be a bit slower and feel the drug man. LOL

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Agreed, the bassline needs to be incredibly precise for the song to still groove at this tempo. There is another version (from 2001, I believe) with a different bass player, that version COOKS at this tempo. The tone of the bass is completely different, though.
