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

[@johnmckenna8544]

The Good Lord, is a forgiving Lord, especially when it comes to his favorite band😂😂

[@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

Guy played on a Solo tour of Brian‘s with Cherisse Osei on drums. Killer line up.

Check out Brian Ferry at Glastenbury. That’s some line up at one of his best concerts ever.

And the great Andy on saxophone and Paul on drums, the 70's Fab four !

[@jorgefiguerola1693]

A bit fast. Don''t rush it! Addictive. No pun intended. Or yes? Wish they put out more of this. Groovy, riffy, and just have to move. Peace from Dallas. JF

[@shiva1742]

Cooler than cool and the best hair in the world of rock!

[@margaretmoore7034]

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 . .

In my opinion the original one is a little too slow... but this speed is ridiculous.

@@claytonvernon8793 You might be the only one that agreed with this but the congas are too loud and out of time, as well. It's like the redhead promised to blow the sound engineer if he turned her up.

[@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.
