- The Siren tour commenced on October 2nd 1975 and ran through Europe and the US until late March 1976. Andy MacKay: “(In the States) we played mainly theatres which suited us. In the U.K. we were playing arenas, but the audience were great in both”.
Roxy’s Siren album was released on October 31st, 1975, therefore on many of the early shows of the tour, including all the UK dates, the audience had not heard the new material. Despite that, Roxy played most of the new album, even starting the set with new songs Sentimental Fool and Love is the Drug.
In the Sounds review of the Glasgow show, 18th October, John Inghan wrote: “Ferry looking like an AWOL GI”. On the Siren tour Ferry had introduced a new aesthetic. He wore a khaki military style uniform throughout, apparently inspired by Elvis Presley’s uniform in the movie, “GI Blues”. Looking at shots of Presley in the movie, it seems almost certain that is so. Even down to the detail of the military emblem on the left shoulder of Presley’s uniform - in the same place on Ferry’s uniform, there’s an emblem, ‘tho of course it says, “Roxy Music”. Also new on the Siren tour was the addition of uniformed backing singers - the John Ingham review again: “…singers Doreen Chanter and Maggie Sullivan showed real class with powder blue WRAF uniforms”. In Barbara Drillsma’s Melody Maker review of the Liverpool show, she also mentioned “The Sirens”: “Roxy were helped along by two attractive young ladies Lorraine and Doreen - dressed in tight-fitting airforce outfits”.
In a review in the Melody Maker of the Liverpool show, 3rd October, Barbara Drillsma described new song, Both Ends Burning as ”a real classic rocker”. The version of Both Ends Burning from Viva! certainly lives up to that epithet. Andy MacKay: Toward the end of recording (of Siren) we were compromised as we had been on Stranded and other albums by Bryan not having finished lyrics so that tracks got overworked as instrumentals while we were working as it were in the dark. ‘Both Ends Burning’ is a case in point. It has always been better live...”
Comparing the soundboard from the second night at Wembley, October 18th, to the version on Roxy’s live album, Viva!, it’s obviously the same recording. Some alterations have been made to the Viva! version - it’s about 30 seconds shorter, having had some of the repeated “Keep on Burning ‘till the end” lines edited out. And there’s been considerable overdubbing of Andy MacKay’s saxophone, which although it is almost inaudible on the soundboard, is clearly different playing. Richard Adams writes about Viva! and the Wembley show on his blog: “Phil Manzanera… assembled the songs and added some judicious instrumental overdubs - bits of Andy's sax playing here and there when mics hadn't picked everything up, some of his own guitar playing, tidying up wayward notes. Not much was needed as Roxy live was a well honed machine”.

I’ve loved the first phase of Roxy Music since I was a kid. So it seemed like a good place to start untypecasting myself from the strictly Bowie videos mantle. Checking out the official Both Ends Burning video, I noted that it is footage from one of the Wembley ‘75 shows, almost randomly synced to an edit of the studio version of the song. Having a big love for the Viva! album, and a long standing to wish to see videos of those performances, I saw a video crying out to be made!
However, the material in the short official video was inadequate for my purposes, so I leaned into a couple of other sources, as stated. Like always with these type of projects, there was a lot of difficulties, and I’ve had to accept some compromises. Anyway, here’s my first Roxy Music video, hopefully the first of many videos I’ll be uploading by favorite artists from the archives.
Thanks for watching, I hope you dig it!

I edit, therefore I am - เพลง
I'm 76 and I can say with experience, It don't get much better than this.
It wasn't just Roxy Music, its the fact that all the music back then WAS REAL!!! Such passion just does not exist today.
To think most bands would give anything to have written one song like this and yet Ferry never stopped coming up with such brilliant tunes. Class and talent, what a combination.
It's amazing how so may Roxy songs from those first five albums still sound ahead of their time.
It was written by MacKay
@@brianbranscombe6248 No it was written by Ferry..
@@anthonymclean9743 yeah..your right,I should have checked that before writing, I think I was getting confused with "love is the drug".
As it turns out this was the last of Roxy’s brilliance….it was their last great album…then they joined the ranks of forgettable 80s band foregoing their brilliant uniqueness……..to blend with the rest of the pack and put out pop pablum.
My all time favourite band.
Oh the fabulous 70's when we were young and didn't care , just lived for clubbing and Roxy music ,Bowie and disco music to dance to . Can't get that time back
They was on fire for this one,
it's one of my favourite Roxy songs,
I've seen Roxy and Ferry a few times over the years
and even at 72, I still get a thrill listening to them.
Never get tired listening to this song,class act
Class, yes. Quite right. But at the same time never mind class. Who among us wouldn't have fed lines to those back-up singers all night until suppertime the next day? I won't dispute the trashiness of that assertion, as long as you won't dispute its truth value.
They will always be remembered as one of the best bands ever.!!
lucky enough to hear them 50 years ago at the age of 12, I enjoyed the teenage years of the 70's😅😅
if there will be one record left after the end of humanity this has to be Viva! Roxy Music
I will take the debut Roxy music record as the only record I would take to a desert island. No disrespect to your choice
@@jonathanjoseph619 take both !!
The digital remix CD is so much better than the original....I've been listening to this for over 40 years starting with the album. Get the remastered CD.
Yes !!!
@@mikerieck306 The remaster Viva Roxy Music remaster from 1999? Thx
Bryan Ferry what an Absolute Legend and Andy Mackay the Worlds best Sax Player ( Viva Roxy Music LIVE ) An Awesome Album
Viva Roxy music, most underrated live album of all time
Just the coolest guy on the planet in the 70/80s......love all of my youth...64 and still appreciate all Roxy musics work
This voice is absolutey phantastic. The music and instruments also ❤❤❤❤
I loved this music already when I was 17 years old!
Still love it (64)
A jazz musician, told me he trained in England. His voice is fantastic. Total voice lessons. Very co
Me too 64 still massive fan
I've said it before and I'll say it again... This edit by Nacho is an amazing piece of work. I know how damn difficult it was to piece together. Nacho synced the audio we all know from the viva album to the lousy film that was available from the actual concert. Plus a few cut aways from another later concert to fill the gaps. Nacho, I know how hard you must have worked on this, and it's totally appreciated.
Yes this video was a lot of work, thanks so much for acknowledging that fact :)
@@NachoVideo no worries. After many years of listening to the viva album, I so wished I could see footage of the performance. You personally provided that. No one else did. Eternally grateful!
James Scholar I totally agree and I just said something like that. I’ve only just found this today and it’s amazing!
I was at that concert. The sound is actually very close to the original on the night. I don't think there was much editing. The evidence is Andy's absolutely magnificent saxophone solos and Phil's right at the end. The album version for me was a massive disappointment after that as the sax was almost dropped entirely. If ever there was a reissue and a mix of this track then this is the version that should be used. Its fantastic.
Nacho should've been hired by the Bowie estate instead of the hippie waster who made a godawful dog's dinner out of Moonage Daydream.
Masterpiece ferry incredible
Guitar sound and rythm played by Phil Manzanera are perfect for this set. What a groove ! Those was the days ...
He'll Yes they were the days alright. 👍one had to go to the shows. There was no TH-cam. No internet. Primitive but loads of fun. It was insanely full on . The party was like it never ended. Don't regret a minute of every show & there were tons of them.
The only true amalgam of rock and disco, something even Queen couldn't pull off with this kind of class IMO
that whole siren album is brilliant.
Viva Roxy Music !!!!! Great song
Utterly brilliant and Bryan Ferry’s best ever vocal…. in my humble opinion 😀
Never mind all the many things usually pointed to (WWII, the end of the Empire, the devaluation of the pound, the Suez Crisis, etc.). Was it in fact this that was really the last moment of Britain as a leading nation and superpower in any sense?
@@dixonpinfold2582 Don’t remember him writing that
in my humble opinion one of the best live rock albums ever..should have been a double
I love this live version, also
X
@@thomassummerhill6357 Haha, no. Just my feeling that the tide (of culture at least) hasn't been as high ever since. Maybe in every area.
I was there, never to be forgotten.
Lucky you Joe! Cheers from Sweden!
Back vocals amazing 👏 🙌 ✨
This was 1975. These guys were ahead of their time.
No it was just how it was then.
Just saw them In Boston. The last time I saw Roxy Music was New York in… 83(?) I was a kid. I was lucky. I saw Brian later on in the 80’s. Anyway I’m here to tell you tonight was magnificent. I can’t go into details except to tell you that whatever your dreams about Roxy Music have been over the years… they came true.
September 17th 2022, on Landsdown Street, Kenmore Square Boston.
Brilliant tunes, brilliant lyrics, brilliant musicians, brilliant looks. They combined do many genres with such effortless style...almost half a century old and stands the test of time.. thank you for posting
Remember listening to Roxy Music on the radio back in the day..all night long even when I slept and it's still as good as it was back then
Roxy Music creates worlds thru music to escape to for a little while
I was there, brilliant concert
The best ever Both ends burning live performance!
As a great wine, this song became better and better with years, I think Apollo 2001 was the perfect version.
First time I ever saw Roxy was on this tour at the Liverpool Empire. Needless to say, (but I’ll say it anyway) they were bloody awesome!
the very best one.... ROXY at its peak.
My favourite Roxy Music song
Me too
The best female backup singers on this tour. Seeing Roxy in the 70’s was always a big deal.
What? Really? They're even worse than the ones who ruined T. Rex's last few albums. A wailing row.
Doreen Chanter and Jacqui Sullivan
... to be honest, the 'Sirens' often sounded a bit off-key, but in a very charming way, as well as Ferry did live from time to time. Those were the 70s, monitoring was still in progress ;)))
This version is a joy of clashing, screeching energy, like a train driven to the edge of control, hurtling around the bend, barely staying on the tracks, and all the better for it.
Like the Uniforms.
Oh but that sax.Roxy Music never understated and never equalled
Love Andy MacKay's work.
This is the most fantastic song xxx
The “Cary Grant” of Rock N Roll. Never ageless & always suavacito. Mi favorito.
I've had a crush on Bryan Ferry since I was 16. It's not only that he's extremely handsome, he's got that rare je ne sais quoi. Elegeance and wit. And what a band. I love the backing vocals on this!
I am 57. I've had a 45 year long crush on the man. I completely understand.
@@karenmoody1879 he's so sexy and elegant. Tall dark and handsome :) but I really don't know how tall he is.
I was 13 when I saw him for the first time (1976), my life has never been the same… 🥰😔
fine, maybe you can go fox hunting with him
Thank you! I first listened to Roxy music when I was 16/17.
Now I am 64 and it did not change!❤
I play this banging Roxy choon virtually every day of the week ... obsessive, but I LOVE IT!!
Same here!!!
@@dominiquemontgomery403 great minds...great choice!! :-D
Me too, quite often more than twice a day, and it's my ringtone on my mobile, not obsessed or anything.
Yes and why not , just utterly brilliant, just always evokes in my mind the film Casablanca and Rick asking Sam to play it again…….
Just killer vocals and outstanding musicianship from everybody 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
@@timothybagnall7351 I gotta get that ringtone!! 🤪🤪
I've never seen someone work so hard, while doing so little. He's amazing.
A great tune, a great live performance, a great singer, a great pop rock band, that's all folks ! Listen and vibrate !!
Forgive me if I've already said this, but this is definitely the VIVA! version. I am loving the backup vocals - and I adore Doreen Chanter!!!
Pure bliss 🤘🏿
ALL HAIL BRYAN FERRY AND ROXY MUSIC 💜🌞🛸
Roxy music!.... Forever!.... La mia band preferita cazzo!...
Ed io questa versione live l'ho registrata dalla radio nel '76 ho consumato il nastro per riascoltarla...
Saw them ‘76, was 17, at a Kent State basketball gym (not the big arena). Likely near the end of this tour. It was Awesome! The whole band, individually and together, just phenomenal talent. And really giving it all live.
Been to hundreds of shows, none of us can cite “the best”.; I can’t. For me, this one is right up there.
Magic! Best run/ bike song ever
I found this song today and am addicted, didn't think RM had any barnstorming songs I'd never heard before, but it seems I was wrong.
This seems to be their equivelent of 'gimmie shelter' with the powerful female backing vocals and that incredible guitar solo ending. And with the bonus of that sax aswell.
Watching Ferrys videos from the begining to recently, it amazes me that he has always managed to surround himself with really great musicians, most of whom have renained pretty much nameless in the mainsteam...such a shame. They were all excellent personnel.
That's what singers do isn't it? Look at Bowie, and Eno and Belew and Fripp and Iggy, he had the best musicians on every record, but was only about him, never a band, after Ziggy and Tin Machine sort of.. I guess its all about the royalties...
Urbane, classic, and classy. Some things in life will never fade.
This is hot 🔥I always liked that song! Great Sound ⚡️
I have a friend who has a Siren album signed by all of the band members. Rarest treasure of all.
Ferry was on fire. And the band...
Including Eddie Jobson, still a mere lad of just 19 summers!
Love Roxy Music, saw them 4 times, the last time at The Greek in LA in 2000 !!!
I was there
I thought that it was 2001. Rufus Wainwright opened up for Roxy Music. It was a real treat when Yannick Etienne came out to sing her background solo to "Avalon".
Hell, who can sleep in this heat this night?
I was a junior in high school when I heard Love is the drug. immediately went to the local head shop/ record store to get the album...Siren..I was hooked...fast forward... my wife surprised me with tickets in the early 90's to see them at a small venue...fantastic. The ultimate cool...
Wow !
I was 13 in an under 18's discotheque and the dj put this live version on from the Viva ! album
Nobody danced except a girl & boy together, i guess both 15 and they dug the groove and rhythm out of this. Jaw dropping for me
Ol smoothie himself!!, Long may he carry on!! 👍😎😎
Roxy music at their best as always
The best song ever!
Eddies mum gave me a ticket outside, 3rd row. great show. thank you.
I saw Roxy at Wembley in 1975. My very first concert! Excellent. Ah the memory. thanks for the upload.
I was there
My first concert was Hawkwind at the Santa Monica Civic. You win!
Always loved this album and great to see it visualized. Great job. This album is greatly underrated - one of the best live albums, certainly shows Roxy with their best and most powerful lineup. Unique band, particularly in the 70s before they reformed
when talent and class were dished out ....Mr.Ferry was at the front of the queue.
Just love the chord progressions of the verses, chorus... all of it.
What a GREAT song, recording and video. 🙏🏻
I saw this tour when it came to Toronto. One of may favorites to this day.
U lucky b*****.
Great to see John Gustafson on stage with Roxy. His contribution to Roxy's studio albums 3 to 5 was immense and alongside TGPT that rhythm section was awesome. Great live performance 👏
I saw this show in Los Angeles in 1976. I was still in high school...it was so exciting!
You saw it at the Hollywood Palladium on Friday, February 20. I was there.
@@robertstephens156 Yes, correct! It was such a great time in my life.
One of the best renditions of this song.
My favourite Roxy song and perfectly played on bass by the master that was Johnny Gus!
I heard this song once or twice years ago in the 70s when I was just a kid and I never forgot it. I didn’t even know that it was Roxy until just now. That’s how effective the hook is in this tune. Both ends burning 🔥. Amazing creativity and lyrical prowess as in all of Brian’s writing
VIVA,,, best live album ever !!!!!
I was at this concert ! they were probably at their peak
Awesome, Nacho thank you
Took way long to find this on YT
Both Ends Burning...
Every other song is just a bonus
A work of utter genius 😎
The great thing about Roxy music is that it transcends time and genres. Its not 70s music or 80s music. They have a timeless quality. You just can't categorize them like other groups.
Each band member rocking their own style - you’d be hard pressed to guess what era this from!
One of the most kick-ass songs ever.
I love this "raw" version and edits, Great work Nacho!
Awesome post of a great band and song thanks.
Keep on burning till the end.
Fantastic, just love Roxy Music
From their masterpiece Viva ! What a band, top musicians ! and ...Bryan Ferry one of the greatest vocalists on the rock scene
One of my top 5 albums. Atmospheric music for the soul.
Thanks for this - Viva! Roxy Music
Thanks for the post! The never ending superb talent class elegance of Bryan Ferry!
Saw them in SF in September and they still have it. Such a wonderful lark it is.
This is a great rendition.
Brilliant editing of a great song , I agree with other positive comments here this is one of the best videos posted and thanks for your efforts
Thanks for the positive comment, glad you like the vid :)
Total chaos, Luv it.
An all time favourite. From when music was great.
FANTASTIC!!! Roxy live at their very best!!!!!!
Saw them at the Beacon in NYC on this tour. Indescribable- the music, the presentation, the energy, the sheer charisma. I know it's a cliche, but they dont do it like this any more.
Wow! This *burns* indeed. From both ends... and the center!
I keep coming back. Thanks, Nacho my good man, for the splendid gift.
Fabulous. Just so different from other artists.
Manzanera playing a 1965 Gibson Firebird. You don't see that very often. All these guys had solo albums also. Brian Eno's being the most successful. Andy Mackay's LP was damn good too.
Manzanera is awsome guitar player. I love Roxy and love Ferry. My music for seduce woman always Roxy& Ferry. And No.1 for me Bowie No.2 Roxy,No.3 Rolling Stones No.4 Pink Floyd
My favorite Roxy Music song ,still listen to the live & studio version, love them both !
These boys and girls are British pop royalty 🇬🇧🎸🥺🎵👋👍🪘🎤🎤🎤🎸🥁🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
This is just stunning. Thank you for sharing, like you I was a fan of the first five & this, although superb, never reached its full potential on the record. You have more than done it justice & I will be forever grateful to you for bringing this brilliant song into bloom
