I'd like to dedicate this song to my best mate Brendan who died this morning; he was a prince among men and we both loved Roxy from the very beginning in 1972. He bought tickets for a bunch of us to see RM in Manchester this October for the 50th anniversary tour, he won't be there but we'll raise a glass to him; gone but never forgotten.
That’s so sad 😢, just like you, they were the music of my youth, we go tomorrow night in Glasgow, I know when you hear the old songs play in Manchester your pal will be right there with you 🕊
Just seen this Steve, sorry to hear about Brendan passing! Dennis and l are at the Arena tomorrow night. We'll raise a glass or two to Brendan and of course Ding, another big RM fan. Hope you enjoy the show! Ste Nulty
I raise a glass to a fellow i dont even know to honour your love for your friend! Have a blast in his memory Roxy just played Glasgow the other night 🌙 great night 🌙 hope yours is too 😊 ✌️🕊💃🧜♀️🕺👸
I remember, to this day, watching this TOTP episode - sat around the colour TV with my family. The old 'uns were all saying "What in God's name was THAT we just saw?" And I was thinking "I don't know, either, what in God's name it was that we just saw... But I DO know that, whatever it was... I LIKE IT!!!" .
Yah, tell me about it. They saved rock and roll! Yep, British slavers brought blacks to the US, then stole their music a hundred plus years later. Well, that's not right, they didn't exactly steal it. :-)
because they set the standard for the sound of following decades: a stylish crooner up front and an atmospheric electronics geek in the background...dozens of bands copied that set-up
@@reggleston1904 LOL OGWT didn't have a studio audience cheesy disco dancing in the early 1970s. Also, Ferry is singing live, but the rest are clearly miming to the studio tape. It's TOTP.
@@reggleston1904 Nope this was TOTP. I remember everyone was talking about it the next day at school. The only other band to cause a similar reaction was, Sparks.
Same for me. First album I bought. The music was amazing, the cover was amazing. Adam Ant said of that gatefold cover artwork that it was impossible to look at it and ever think about pop music in the same way again.
Nel formare il gruppo Bryan Ferry e Brian Eno avevano pensato a Paolo Tofani alla chitarra, che all'epoca viveva a Londra, ma lui rifiutò preferendo tornare in Italia, così ripiegarono su Manzanera.
Roxy Music - Virginia Plain - Top Of The Pops - 24th August 1972 0555am 8.10.23 hahahaah there's me thinking fun.... anyhow; as much as drop out rockers are still the way to go.... sadly we still have debbie harry belting it out at..what....aged 80!? ..........ferry ang co with Virginia plain? a decent song. i begrudge glam some passing respect....
I'm American born in 67 but I would hope if I was 15 in 72 I would find my way to RM and Bowie. I found my way to the Smiths and they weren't even played on the radio in the States which made them more special to us. I loved the Specials. Saw them on SNL snd they blew my preteen mind.
they were fun and sexy at a time when bands were sooooo boring. The Specials were so fresh also when they arrived, I saw their first concert in Paris, and their last one also !!! I love what the singer, Terry Hall, did after the Specials, the band Fun Boy Three, legendary to me !
@@tarantellalarouge7632 Fun fact when I was at University there was a rumor that Terry Hall and Robert Smith were the same person. Lol. They do look and sound alike
It's sad really , we will never see this style of music again, Rap and Hip-Hop has taken over everything and that's why there is no Top of the Pops now. I remember during the 80s we saw a number of re-released British pop ruined by a section of Rap inserted in the middle. That I think was the beginning of the end for popular music.
I was on holiday in Butlins and all the teenagers in the camp crammed into the Television Room (just the one TV in the entire camp) to catch TOTP, our only fix of pop music on television at that time. This came on, and we were all gobsmacked. It was like something beamed down from another planet. Amazing what sticks in your head.
Waiting for that most important time of 7pm Thursday made what you saw and heard so precious and extra special. Completely unintelligible to today's 24/7 culture where we can peruse the whole of the history of pop culture at our leisure. The arrival of glam rock in 71-72 gave the 70s it's own cultural identity, separating it from the post hippy malaise. Despite what history says about the decade, what a great time to be a teenager💥.
This sounds so like the recorded single but there are certain nuances that show the vocal is live! Simply stunning, Bryan and Roxy at their best despite the incredible career after this!
Top of the Pops was never live. Sometimes only the singing, but there's numerous bands mocking the whole thing, most famously Nirvana. But the Mama's and the Papa's are pretty funny with the banana.
TOTP had the weird rule that you had to do vocals live but could come into the BBC studio and record a new backing track. Most bands, as far as stories I've read, showed up to record the replacement backing but then slipped their own previous recordings in for backing. It was a BBC union thing, apparently.
I was 15 yrs old at the time We used to dress in 1940s fashion we bought for a few pennies at thrift and Oxfam shops. 😂😂. We thought we were Lauren Bacall!! Lol.
I always thought the "Robert E. Lee' was the American Confederate general and thought, 'yes, but WHY?' Till I discovered someone of that name was big in the UK record industry at the time....
We were all stuck in a pub at Scotch Corner on the A1 highway in northern England after a huge snowstorm had blocked the road, when I first heard this coming over the radio playing behind the bar. All the motorists taking shelter and warming up had got a good party going and the drinks were flowing well. This song was just so different from the usual pop music, a real departure from the norm. Loved it and Bryan Ferry's music ever since.
Amazing that ten years ago, it was fifty years since Love Me Do, now it's fifty years since this. Possibly the most progressive ten years in music that will never be equalled. And fifty years to the day in terms of this iconic TOTP appearance.
I know what you mean, it doesn't seem possible it was that long ago. Time just flies by, blink and you miss it. Roxy's early stuff still sounds incredible though even today. I can't get enough of pyjamarama lately! 😎
Roxy Music's early performances just do not AGE. What a line-up of innovative talents ..in the one band. F me!...50 years ago seeing them at the Glasgow Apollo!! Where did it all go?...😢
I hear a lot of velvet underground influences in there songs .....a classic song this I was singing it one day while working running phone cables on a hospital wing at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital back in 92 ...a nurse came up and informed me that she and her colleagues had voted me as having the nicest backside lol. ....and gave it slap x
@@stevebell9645 Hi Steve I was a small child when Glam Rock hit our shores I love all the music to this very day. Some of the artists are no longer with us most recently Steve Priest The Sweet. Rip. Lyndsey de Paul RIP. Kind regards from Ireland Kate. 👱♀️🙏💕💕
@@jjrj8568 and then Cold play from u2 For me the last decent band. I would also put Simple minds in there on your list now listening to new gold dream on decent sound system than back in the 80's cant believe just how good that album is. The bass work I just didnt appreciate on pioneer hi fi 🤣
a month b4 that, david bowie appeared on totp and nothing was ever the same. when roxy arrived, it was as if aliens had landed on earth and were showing britain a new world where everything was colorful and weird in a cool way.
Yup, my eight year old brain was blown. Nothing was ever the same again. Mind you it meant that forever after you would spend Thursday nights hurling insults at performers on TOTPs who did not match this. Roxy set a high hurdle.
@@stephenzanichkowsky4434 i didn't discover anything i was there in 1972 when the first lp came out Also you say bowie is god which he is but how far back do you go with bowie what was the first thing you heard by bowie 🤔
Heard this song on Sundy on radio. The whole next day I seeked in nearly whole Vienna to get one copy of this song. I got one, since then every record of this GREAT BAND is here in my Collection,. Thank You .
I'm going back through my youth and musical journey through my life , even as a kid I totally understand and fell for Roxy, but as I get older and hopefully wiser , I realise that Roxy are absolutely within the top 10 Bands of all time, in my humble opinion, looking at the importance of Roxy in music and popular culture , they are up there with the Beatles! Big thing to say but I just believe its true
Lucky to have known him very well as his sister, Enid, was my girlfriend for about a year, we all went to Washington Grammar School. Happy days and great memories, Dr Paul Graham
My English teacher went to school with Bryan in Washington. I was at Pennywell comp in the 70s. Bought everything by Roxy even the first singles on island. Fab
I was hitch-hiking around beautiful England in the summer of '72, got a 2 hour ride with this really nice guy who was raving about this new band, I thought it was spelt Rocksy Music. "Never heard of 'em," that's all I could say. Later on, they became one of my all time favorite bands.
First song I ever picked up the courage to dance to at the school disco circa '76. I had a particular rigid stance with the heels clicking from side to side, on the spot. Her name was Sharon Vincent. I'll never forget it. She burst out laughing and left me standing in the the middle of the dancefloor. It was a harsh lesson for one so young.
It is a rude awakening to discover your place. I was at a school disco, and a good looking girl had half her arse hanging out of her short jeans. I touched her exposed bottom out of the overwhelming lust that come over me. She smacked my face really hard. I then sat down on a chair, and had my arse burned by a lit cigarette, and a hole burned in my trousers. Her older boyfriend had left a lit cigarete on the chair. He then accused me of ruining his cigarette. 40 years on, he is probably dead of lung cancer, and her arse has probably sagged to the ground.

Released in 1972 - Still sounds fresh in 2022.
That's Quality
Yes!
Me too chum
because they set the standard for the sound of following decades: a stylish crooner up front and an atmospheric electronics geek in the background...dozens of bands copied that set-up
It sounds like the future if you ask me...
One of the greatest moments shown on TOTP, one of the best bands ever.
I think it was actually Old Grey Whistle Test
Ye when I saw them on the old grey whistle test it changed my life forever
Indeed

God, he was the coolest ever!
Cant unsee the Reeves and Mortimer version
Especially Johnny Vegas as Brian Eno 😂😂😂
I saw that before this 😂
@@TheDriller-Killer The very best
Check out the big train version.
The first Roxy Music album revolutionized my existence on this planet.
Same for me. First album I bought. The music was amazing, the cover was amazing. Adam Ant said of that gatefold cover artwork that it was impossible to look at it and ever think about pop music in the same way again.
@@virtualsymmetry1159Adam Ant is brilliant too in his own right.
Can't believe this song is 52 years old
So ahead of their time xx
And still better than anything else out there
The world was never the same again
The early 70s was such a great period in rock
We had the best EVER.
Any doubt? This is the most influential song on the sound of the Cars, six years later, just to name one example.
Can't remember what I had for breakfast but remember this like it was yesterday.
That is so very true!
I was 12 years old, I hear this in my Dad's supermarket, and at that moment, I commented my life to Rock and Roll :)
Nothing will date this probably my first taste of proper music. By the way I had toast (I think) !
Yo tambien...
Yeah
This is an absolute classic song, still groundbreaking.
Barrie Jackson a great band Barrie
grounbreaking how??? its pretty much 40s crooning composition with rock instruments.
@deadvoguestar it sounds like 1940s swing bop of crooners age, plus 50s rock`n`roll tricks.
@@marguskiis7711 You're nuts. What other rock band had those instruments going? And what were they writing?
@@marguskiis7711 It’s a combination of those things, plus the electronica aspect. Basically predicted New Wave by a few years

Might be good looking but doesn't alter the fact that Ottis foxhunts and his good looking dad condones it. Love Roxy but hate Bryan's morals.
I saw Roxy Music in Italy in 1973 with Eno. One of the gigs of my life
awesome
You must have had a great time wish I had seen them live
Nel formare il gruppo Bryan Ferry e Brian Eno avevano pensato a Paolo Tofani alla chitarra, che all'epoca viveva a Londra, ma lui rifiutò preferendo tornare in Italia, così ripiegarono su Manzanera.
Me too - Southampton Gaumont 12th April 1973.
Saw them in Australia amazing show. Giant Venetian blinds that slowly opened on the first song so Trippy
I remember standing in Woolworths in Swinton, istening to this, , being transported to another, mystical world. Formative
47 years later and it still sounds fresh.
What are you talking about? It’s total shite? What a fucking racket.

Incredible, influential band. Their first 3 albums in particular are revered by anyone with taste.
and maybe hated by anyone with decent politics. Ferry is a right wing, pro-hunting, a-hole.
@@RogerYates This comment gave me brain cancer.
@@RogerYates Why does politics always have to rear it's ugly head? Can't we just enjoy the music? This isn't a personality competition.

Glam Rock (T Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Sweet etc.)
One of greatest singles in history.
Bryan Ferry is the coolest fucker on the planet. Always was, always will be.
Amen to this!!
You like him then?
I saw him in an episode of the dark and he was as always the personification of cool
Movie star looks, great voice, and wrote terrific songs. Sort of the glam Paul McCartney.
1972? I was all of ten years old a couple years away from Ozzy and Sabbath and Rush
Amazing vocal range of Mr Bryan Ferry
Studio audience “dig this awesome tune, not 100% sure how to dance to it, gonna just give it my best”
I’m so grateful for being able to grow up listening to them, Some of the Sh*te nowadays is horrendous!!
This sounds so like the recorded single but there are certain nuances that show the vocal is live! Simply stunning, Bryan and Roxy at their best despite the incredible career after this!
You mean getting away with saying "shit" on 1970's TOTP? ;)
Top of the Pops was never live. Sometimes only the singing, but there's numerous bands mocking the whole thing, most famously Nirvana. But the Mama's and the Papa's are pretty funny with the banana.
pretty sure this isn't live?

Nearly 50 years old and this still rocks: Roxy Music is the greatest!
I was 15 yrs old at the time We used to dress in 1940s fashion we bought for a few pennies at thrift and Oxfam shops. 😂😂. We thought we were Lauren Bacall!! Lol.
It was so brilliant back when charity shops were amateur affairs. I bought such wonderful things for ten pence.
Great comment, so much wholesomeness and relatability. Lauren Bacall did look great!
Absolutely incredible.
This song marked my life !!
Bryan Ferry was a regular visitor to The Hayward Gallery where i worked. He really does love Art. He was always pleasent to staff. Great guy.
And he could sing!!!!!!
Ain't got a clue what the song is about but it's absolutely fabulous. Never get tired of playing it.
The title 'Virginia plain' was a brand of cigarette at the time.
I always thought the "Robert E. Lee' was the American Confederate general and thought, 'yes, but WHY?' Till I discovered someone of that name was big in the UK record industry at the time....
Bryan Ferry I think painted a packet of ciggies at art school . Virginia plain.
We were all stuck in a pub at Scotch Corner on the A1 highway in northern England after a huge snowstorm had blocked the road, when I first heard this coming over the radio playing behind the bar. All the motorists taking shelter and warming up had got a good party going and the drinks were flowing well. This song was just so different from the usual pop music, a real departure from the norm. Loved it and Bryan Ferry's music ever since.
When music took you somewhere else
Roxy Music has been nominated for the rock and roll hall of fame. Vote for them everyone!
Already have .
Where do i have to vote?
Oh yeah... Rage, Roxy, the Cure, Devo, and Radiohead slightly edging MC5
They made it!!
Johnny Petrow 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It blew me away then and it still does today. Roxy Music and Sparks some of the most modern music ever
Amazing that ten years ago, it was fifty years since Love Me Do, now it's fifty years since this. Possibly the most progressive ten years in music that will never be equalled. And fifty years to the day in terms of this iconic TOTP appearance.

Yes.
We were immensely lucky.

Three chords and loads of attitude. That’s Rock n Roll!
How lucky we were to be brought up listening to great music
That is why I got hooked and fascinated by Roxy, this song.
Bowie/Ziggy and Roxy appeared weeks apart, on TOTP, and basically invented an entire new genre
Then 8 years later inspired the new romantic wave . Brian Ferry cannot be understated . I'm going to watch same old scene again . Get my daily fix

Brian Eno, "Top tip, always wear gloves when experimenting with a VCS3..."
As Withnail said as they were about to do the dishes: "Don't attempt anything without the gloves!"
No glove, no love!

Big thing to say but I just believe its true
My mom was absolutely nuts about Roxy music & Bryan Ferry so I grew up listening to them. Fabulous sound that just doesn't age!
There can't be many bands this good and this influential who had two key members called Brian.
One is Bryan the other was Brian.
"Always look on the bright side of life" , was sung by a large group of people who all claimed to be called Brian!
Rushed straight out and bought this as a teenager, happy days!
1972!!?? Good Lord!; I was 20
Lucky to have known him very well as his sister, Enid, was my girlfriend for about a year, we all went to Washington Grammar School. Happy days and great memories, Dr Paul Graham
I liked it from the first time I Heard it but almost no one of my friends did.
A legendary moment in the history of TOTP..
Went out straight away to get this so original captured what I wanted...
God bless you, Roxy Music....and the moog......
Shooting stars parody is amazingly accurate!
everytime i hear this i remember Johnny Vegas as Eno
Seriously underrated band.
Not by me!
Robert made some great music Robert
Not by me either ✌
Only in America. They were huge in the UK, Europe and Australia.
You gotta be kiddin
Genius Roxy - this song is the epitome of just 'driving you on' with that amazing beat.
My English teacher went to school with Bryan in Washington. I was at Pennywell comp in the 70s. Bought everything by Roxy even the first singles on island. Fab
THATS AMAZING.
Bryan Ferry lends us his superb ears :)
saw them in 1971 before they were known, at the befry in sutton coldfied and they played vp saying is was going to be their fist single.
of all Roxy music this is the one as a kid in 70s that stuck in my head to 50 lol

God bless you, Roxy Music!
First song I ever picked up the courage to dance to at the school disco circa '76. I had a particular rigid stance with the heels clicking from side to side, on the spot. Her name was Sharon Vincent. I'll never forget it. She burst out laughing and left me standing in the the middle of the dancefloor. It was a harsh lesson for one so young.
But, you got in the game. That is the key.
Been there myself - ten years earlier. Crushing - ain't it ? But, we come through, somehow.................
That girl had no class!
It is a rude awakening to discover your place. I was at a school disco, and a good looking girl had half her arse hanging out of her short jeans. I touched her exposed bottom out of the overwhelming lust that come over me. She smacked my face really hard. I then sat down on a chair, and had my arse burned by a lit cigarette, and a hole burned in my trousers. Her older boyfriend had left a lit cigarete on the chair. He then accused me of ruining his cigarette. 40 years on, he is probably dead of lung cancer, and her arse has probably sagged to the ground.
Yeah but what a belting ground breaking song to dance to. U shouldve said to her, whats your name virginia plain!
Now this is what I call Glam Rock straight. pure Glam Rock.
The fact that this was aired half a century ago is pretty mindblowing!
Always loved Roxy Music from then until now. Fresh as.
Absolutely brilliant.
Bryan Ferry seriously handsome 🔥
Long live Roxy Music!
