As a 10yr old, I didn't appreciate how ahead of the times Roxy and Bowie were but had the feeling that they were something special. How lucky to be on the edge of teen years in that period. Such a variety of artists on the charts shows and other tv programmes such as OGWT.
Me too. My older brother watched it every week so I was introduced to so many amazing artists at a young age. Rock goes to College and Sight and Sound in concert were great, too. Let's not forget The Tube...so many 80s music careers were launched thanks to the Channel 4 show (difficult time slot, though. 5-7pm, I seem to remember).
From France, I was 5 not at the strand but listening to his albums thanks to my daddy and would listen mesmerized to this good looking charismatic classy alternative leader...with the DVDs as a youg woman, Sire Ferry s career is out of this world 🎉❤
I was one of the trombone players out there. Best halftime show the Redcoats ever did! By virtue of proximity, drummer buddy Chris Hale got huge exposure behind Mr. Brown! I’ve still got the Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs 45 single here somewhere. To echo some of the other comments, many thanks for posting this!
Grandes ..gigantes ..mágicos..de los mejores grupos que han habido..👏👏👏👏.cancion super buenos recuerdos antiguos..y actuales...saludos desde Barcelona..🇪🇦
Watching this in 1973 must have been like watching Marty McFly playing music from the future at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Brilliant stuff, still sounds so fresh 50 years later.
@@pigglesy Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. He traveled to the past from the 80's to the 50's and played Johnny B. Goode, and according to the movie inspired Chuck Berry to "invent" rock'n'roll
Yes, bought the album back in 72.....now playing it albeit on different media now! Still brilliant, absolutely unique and just won't be repeated....ever!
Roxy Music was so far ahead of its time, that the rest of the world hasn’t yet caught up. I bought the entire back catalog out of my first paycheque when I moved to Halifax. Ferry’s lyrics are so erudite and slick. A bit of a James Bond, if Bond was a singer.
Bond, James Bond, a singer, what a fascinating concept. Surely only as a cover for Brian Ferry to get even more girls (or boys) and rid the world of nasties like Putin?
Every generation has its own music. As I recall, our parents and grandparents back in the 70s thought we'd all do better listening to music from their time instead of stuff like Roxy
@@enduranceadventurez There are differences between this performance and the album version. I've read that it was live but possibly then overdubbed by the BBC ?
Terrific clip of Roxy Music on the show. I liked Bryan Ferry's Carlito Brigante suit (as in the one Al Pacino wore in the 1993 film Carlito's Way), but alas I think the performance was mimed as there was no horizontal lines on the picture, something that always occurred when acts were performing live on the show
Hes corny, camp and almost funny, BUT he styles it out to become cool, sophisticated and damn right brilliant! Roxy were years ahead of their time, and probably the most overlooked band ever, I think they are with only The Beatles and a tiny handful of others at being one of the most influential bands of all time. Then when you thought it couldn't get better, Bryan as a solo artist becomes the absolute king of cool, style and sophistication, If you get a chance listen to the album Boy and Girls, the complexity of the tracks, included the title track, a dark mysterious sultry song with attitude, Valentine, a modern take of almost techno reggie , The Chosen One, layers of guitars building up to a three or four level of solos, Knopfler , Gilmore, epic, and of course Slave to love, one of the classiest power love songs that simply never ages. He had as many reinventions as Bowie, yet never got the appreciation or the aclaim. Absolutely Legendary ❤
It'd be interesting to hear the demos for this album,like you did with the first album,the 45th Anniversary edition.Best period of Roxy,72-73,loved your avante garde phase.
My fav was and always will be the drummer. Saw them EVerywhere in NYC in the '70s - The Bottom Line when Hall sashayed out swinging her tail.... Epic show
Some may call some of Roxy M ..experimental pop ...maybe a musical 12 yr old ...with interest in experimental pop / composition ..maybe interested in hearing this ...but no a lot of 12 yr old musical listeners will move on to something else ..
My friend Dave (1951-2023), who turned me onto Roxy, would have loved this clip. He said that when he saw them in Pittsburgh there was an audible growl from the audience at the start of the song.
KJ is that the image of Brian Eno, the man who coined the electronic music genre Ambient. What was Tangerine Dream & Pink Floyd doing before that. Or even Mike Oldfield.
I am a Roxy Music fan, and a Bryan Ferry fan, but the pompadour, the intense furrowed brows, and the waving talons of fingers, all harken to Gary Oldham's vampire persona from Coppola's Dracula film .... but maybe it was merely a similar intensity sought by both ....
@@geoffreypiltz271 Of the two Roxy performances I've seen, "Do The Strand" is obviously mimed because no-one's playing the prominent piano riff! At one point Ferry turns to a keyboard and starts throwing shapes to what sounds like Eno's synth break. The "Ladytron" performance I think is different from the recorded version - Manzanera's guitar sounds different at least.
I never liked the band as an 80s teenager as it was too cheesy pop and not punk enough but when I heard this I couldn't believe it was the same band. One of the best songs of all time in my pointless opinion.
I wonder if that’s the same guitar that Phil Manzanera is using in his recent performances. Could be. To think about what great music was to follow from these band members. It was a seminal time.
Simply genius!!! "Do The Strand" There's a new sensation A fabulous creation A danceable solution To teenage revolution Do the Strand love When you feel love It's the new way That's why we say Do the Strand Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's Slow and gentle Sentimental All styles served here Louis Seize he prefer Laissez-faire Le Strand Tired of the tango Fed up with fandango Dance on moonbeams Slide on rainbows In furs or blue jeans You know what I mean Do the Strand Had your fill of Quadrilles The Madison and cheap thrills Bored with the Beguine The samba isn't your scene They're playing our tune By the pale moon We're incognito Down the Lido And we like the Strand Arabs at oasis Eskimos and Chinese If you feel blue Look through Who's Who See La Goulue And Nijinsky Do the Strandsky Weary of the Waltz And mashed potato schmaltz Rhododendron Is a nice flower Evergreen It lasts forever But it can't beat Strand power The Sphynx and Mona Lisa Lolita and Guernica Did the Strand
Bryan Ferry nearly lost on a commercial airliner in 2000. Hijacked and plummeted towards the earth, but was brought back under control by the pilots. Most musicians are not so lucky.😳
One of thee most original bands ever. I can imagine people being absolutely blown away by them back then. No wonder.
I was and still am

Roxy at their absolute best. Eno works that synthesizer like a real genius. As a young man at the time, I was deeply inspired!
Eno was also glittering quite profusely, something that he probably never did after he left the band (at least not fashion-wise).
@@hdew77look at his reflection in the mirror, on the cover of, “Here Come The Warm Jets”
Yes@@dancochrane5577
Fantastic, one of my all time favourite, the old grey whistle clips
Saw this in 75 on TV and bought the album. My roommate thought I was nuts.
I'm just going to say it, Britains best ever group, loved them , so clever, amazing
Best ever?
What about Genesis, Yes etc at that time? 🤔
@@EloyGijon67 not even close
Everybody has their own taste. And in case of music, we cannot be not biased. Still, Roxy Music is a gem.
One of the greatest acts ever to take a stage. Thanks, so much BF & RM -- wonderful stuff. ❤😂🎉😢❤.
Early Roxy was so fookin cool!!
I still miss the OGWT, some fantastic sets were broadcast, Bowie, Queen, Alex Harvey, Focus The Jam. Every week you were sure to be entertained.
Me too. My older brother watched it every week so I was introduced to so many amazing artists at a young age. Rock goes to College and Sight and Sound in concert were great, too.

WOW you exist latitude of 46.2276° N, which puts France in the northern hemisphere, and longitude of 2.2137° E... still FREE ? Goa"uld?
I remember seeing this on OGWT in '73 and it "blew my mind"! Amazing that they can recreate that sound live.
This clip is from the OGWT , but hardly "live". Which doesn't antimatter .Roxy lip synchin is just as entertaining.
I too remember seeing this "live" and my mum going all teenage gooey eyed over Mr Ferry.
Such a brilliant song from a brilliant band.
They closed their show at the Chase Center last year with this song. I loved it so much. One could die happy.
As fresh and as good as day one, lovely!

I love Enos jacket. Music has never been this cool.
It's still incredible! ❤
I've always been in love with this bunch of misfits since I discovered them when I was eighteen In 1972 always thought they were sooo cool
Brian Ferry and Andy Mackay living the 80's, the others still in the 70's.
Brian Eno in the 22nd century!

Excellent band. Love Bryan. Ferry’s style then and later. Thanks for sharing..✨
Early Roxy. We are not worthy!
Yes, bought the album back in 72.....now playing it albeit on different media now! Still brilliant, absolutely unique and just won't be repeated....ever!
The way he goes from one mike to the other_ effortlessly cool. Great song 👍
My favorite Roxy song was - More Than This back in 1982,I was just a young 22yr old man. Oh how times have changed since then....
And not for the better
This band encompassed everything great. Essential listening!!
Roxy Music was so far ahead of its time, that the rest of the world hasn’t yet caught up. I bought the entire back catalog out of my first paycheque when I moved to Halifax. Ferry’s lyrics are so erudite and slick. A bit of a James Bond, if Bond was a singer.
Forgotten about green day and lovely red hots...
Bond, James Bond, a singer, what a fascinating concept. Surely only as a cover for Brian Ferry to get even more girls (or boys) and rid the world of nasties like Putin?
Bryan Ferry was an art school graduate and taught in a secondary school before he sang full time.
Amazing song.
One of the greatest songs ever written. Simple as that.
Fabulous!! Brings back awesome memories!! And in those days, no one to keep track of us very wayward tennagers!!!! 🤣🤣xxx
Absolutely!!!...
Coolest band ever!!
So much energy!
It doesnt get much better than this, I wish younger people would listen to music like this, open their minds a bit.
Every generation has its own music. As I recall, our parents and grandparents back in the 70s thought we'd all do better listening to music from their time instead of stuff like Roxy
@@zeddeka Very true.
This band and Rocky Horror Picture Show forever imprinted..
wow here we are in 2024 and this is so fresh
Aliens from another world, I'm certain of it! Lol.
Thinking the same thing. Moving through a heavy RM phase now.
For your pleasure from my favorites
X Mersybeats bassist doing the business,Johnny Gustaffson,RIP.
You can tell this is an Old Grey Whistle Test performance. It's totally in that style.
Perfect performance.
Should be its not live!
@@enduranceadventurez There are differences between this performance and the album version. I've read that it was live but possibly then overdubbed by the BBC ?
Adoro i Roxy da sempre e anche Bryan da solo visto 2 volte in concerto a Montecarlo e a Milano. Grandissimo musicista❤❤👏👏👏
So so unique and just as excellent today as then!
Remember seeing them in 1972 at the Crystal Palace Garden Party.
Now that was different for then and still sounds different now.
My favourite Roxy track
Mine, too, for some reason given huge songbook.
Young, wild and beautiful! - He still is very good looking.
His performance is not from this world… ❤
When music was music 🎶, can't beat Roxy Music
All Timeless classics .
The first Roxy Music song I ever heard. More than half a century ago.
coolest group 70s

OMG, why is the audio on this video so low? This song rocks, thank goodness I can just play the vinyl when I want it full blast.
BRAVO!!
The early Sex Pistols were called 'The Strand' after this song, Steve Jones was a huge Roxy fan.
so eine Performance, tolle Instrumente und
Bryan ❤
Saw their 50 year reunion tour (sans Eno), sounded as good as this.
I'm from Detroit also, he captures our attitude really well!
I bought the LPs in 1975 and I still have them ❤ I was 16
Love Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music! Thanks! 🦩🦩🦩
Amazing! Take my breath away even after all those years. Oh, Bryan why I didn't met you before? 💔I love you❤️😘
My fav was and always will be the drummer. Saw them EVerywhere in NYC in the '70s - The Bottom Line when Hall sashayed out swinging her tail.... Epic show
I heard this when i was 12 can you seriously see a 12 year old now listening to this
The answer is highly unlikely 😂🎉❤
Some may call some of Roxy M ..experimental pop ...maybe a musical 12 yr old ...with interest in experimental pop / composition ..maybe interested in hearing this ...but no a lot of 12 yr old musical listeners will move on to something else ..
@john deacetis yeah move on to a load if pish
@@johndeacetis4707 mmmm
I never knew Roxy Music had a ballet dancer as a sax player
Never noticed it before, but this is like a missing link between the evolution of 60's psychedelic rock to 80's New Wave.
My friend Dave (1951-2023), who turned me onto Roxy, would have loved this clip. He said that when he saw them in Pittsburgh there was an audible growl from the audience at the start of the song.
Amazing - as good as the recording !! And they look so very cool…
Fabulous then and still. Eno the original knob-twiddler but dressed to KILL.
Now that was some humdinger of a deal, that Strand business.....
KJ is that the image of Brian Eno, the man who coined the electronic music genre Ambient. What was Tangerine Dream & Pink Floyd doing before that. Or even Mike Oldfield.
This Rocks
Absolute Class....
Such a class act (!!!)
A real country boy.
I l;ove Eddie Jobson in full GLam mode!
You can't beat strand power.
Love It Bryan!

Is he a little gay?
What a terrific live performance. Beats the album version.
It's not live it is the Album version
@@andrewmorrison7912 Really? This was uploaded by Roxy Music. Are they lying? and the OGWT always was live.
@@geoffreypiltz271 Afraid so they performed live playing Ladytron the previous year
@@andrewmorrison7912 Evidence? When OGWT was not live it was accompanied by old film footage. So what is this?

😍 Up! 💖🤗 Tinja&Markku
Just brilliant; is there anything to touch this now?
very fucken cool
Punk rock!!! Balls included...
The birth of punk rock was a reaction to this type thing.
Dont be silly. It was ELP and concept albums. Roxy was is and always will be cool.
I never liked the band as an 80s teenager as it was too cheesy pop and not punk enough but when I heard this I couldn't believe it was the same band. One of the best songs of all time in my pointless opinion.
Please try their first album, from before this. It's a cracker.
Pointless Peasant, Your opinion is NOT pointless
I wonder if that’s the same guitar that Phil Manzanera is using in his recent performances. Could be. To think about what great music was to follow from these band members. It was a seminal time.
I believe it is.
There's Brian Eno playing the dials.
Simply genius!!!
"Do The Strand"
There's a new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution
Do the Strand love
When you feel love
It's the new way
That's why we say
Do the Strand
Do it on the tables
Quaglino's place or Mabel's
Slow and gentle
Sentimental
All styles served here
Louis Seize he prefer
Laissez-faire Le Strand
Tired of the tango
Fed up with fandango
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what I mean
Do the Strand
Had your fill of Quadrilles
The Madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the Beguine
The samba isn't your scene
They're playing our tune
By the pale moon
We're incognito
Down the Lido
And we like the Strand
Arabs at oasis
Eskimos and Chinese
If you feel blue
Look through Who's Who
See La Goulue
And Nijinsky
Do the Strandsky
Weary of the Waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreen
It lasts forever
But it can't beat Strand power
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
Did the Strand
