I have always loved the Lennon original but this is a very good cover, very well done and pays homage to the genius of both Lennon and Ferry. Brian took this Lennon classic and made it his very own!...Legendary!
One of the few songs that I lean more towards the cover than the original. Incredible cover. AND he did this song as an encore, if I am not mistaken. You can see the sweat on him before he even starts.
What a performance, from the most talented band, and singer ever. Sheer class. With their orignal distinctive sound, and superb production. A deeply emotional song for me, for obviouse reasons. The best cover of a song ever. I feel every second of this song in my heart, those strings. Great music, from a time when, music was great. A timeless, haunting piece, as good today as ever. Just amazing. Thank for posting. Beauty beyond words. LOL .
I have whole concert on vhs cassette the name is Roxy Music Live at Frejus France I have watched hundred times. This song is finale of the concert. Superb concert!
Was he the one who played on the Avalon album? If so, yes. Great bassist. It was a bit difficult to keep up with all their different bass players. I think they went through something like 20 of them over the course of their initial 10 year run.
Für mich, der beste und schönste Musiker aller Zeiten. Mit Dir, habe ich meine Jugend verbracht. Love of mey live. Noch heute ❤ alles Liebe und Gute für Dich. Wir sind ja nicht nicht so lange mehr hier. Belive in Jesus ❤
Os fãs de John Lennon que me perdoem, mas nunca gostei desta música cantada por ele. Agora ao ouvir Bryan interpretando ela, percebo uma nova canção. Parabéns! Sucesso Sempre !!!
I was very very fortunate to see Brian Ferry with Roxy Music at The Kleinhan's Music Hall (a beautiful, acoustically excellent venue), Buffalo, NY, circa 1976-1977.
Thank you and you band-player's for special's moments in muzik History!! I can't forget this very bad bad day, at the Same MOMENT, I greatulated my brother Ralf for his Birthday, came the horryble message about John Lennon is shot Down In the Radio! I coudn't believe..... Greating's from Germany ALEX B.
The man singing the song...makes or breaks the performance...... The people around him can be the BEST..... EVER.... But the singer conveys the song and the performance of all.
I am happy to watch this video. Nice memories. I was at this concert at the time and really enjoyed it. I was right under the stage and watching everything closely. I have always liked Roxy Music very much. Especially when they were promoting the AVALON album. And that's not all! This evening they also had a concert by King Crimson:))) SuuuuuPeeeRRR !!!!
Wow… every bit as great live as it is on record. One of my greatest regrets is that I never saw Roxy Music live. In my defense, I was a bit young (born ‘67), and they split in ‘83, only about 3 years after I really started getting into them. Anyway, this is every bit as great as the incredible single version. Man, they were a top notch band. Just jaw-droppingly good.
I tend to be really late to the game a lot. I never heard this before and I was a teenager when Lennon was killed so I really should have been aware. It's incredible as good if not better than the original. I will.call it a tie because I love John Lennon's version with Nicky Hopkins on piano
was performed on the 1982 tour in homage to the late John Lennon, who had died in december of 1980. That was an amazing tour and this was one of the high points of it.
@@mikestevens5837So let me make sure I have this right…. Lennon was ‘killed’, but he didn’t die. Is that about right? Oh, and it was America that killed him, not a mentally disturbed and completely obsessed fan who had been stalking him outside his home on the upper West Side of Manhattan for several days? Right… because no one ever gets murdered by stalkers anywhere else on earth other than the USA. So noted. Must’ve been a conspiracy too, I’m guessing. Several different government agencies involved? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I was fortunate enough to grab the import 45 of this tune. The studio version is just an astonishing performance from some extraordinary players. Very few people had the record, and most people had only heard it for the first time on a compilation. I kid you not, I still get goose bumps when I hear it...
I’m American, and obviously here in the states they weren’t anywhere near as huge as they were in their native UK, or in mainland Europe or Australia… so one thing I remember is how this absolutely masterful, transcendent tribute was essentially ignored by American FM radio. The only reason I ever heard it back then was because of my aunt, who was a rare American Roxy Music obsessive. In ‘81 when this came out, they were her favorite band. She had the import single and played it for me. I was just 13 at the time but I was blown away… both by the song itself, and by the utter disbelief that it wasn’t being played *AT ALL* on the radio. Such was often the case with these things here in the good old USA. A lot of truly amazing and essential bands that were megastars on the other side of the pond were just completely ignored over here. I’m still not sure why that is.
Memories mixed up... From now on here I am... concerts, nights, days... I was shivering inside. Tonite I'll be alone... where do lonely nights go? Tell me...
He's the James Bond of rock music.
James Bond, Count Dracula, Oscar Wilde, and Ben from Blue Velvet… all wrapped up into one elegant, influential, and original motherf#€%er
Superb ‘analogy’
Mr Ferry ladies and gentlemen! What a great performance!
Please make sure this is always on the internet. What a damn good performance after a damn good show.
Best version ever !!
gotta give some love to the back up singers soulful bit too
to me the best version ever !! always was
Roxy Music does it every time I hear their sounds. Voices, piano, guitar, sax, drums, whistling.....❤❤
Roxy is A Drug❤❤❤❤❤
terrific performance, bryan ferry is soooo cooooooooooooool
Imagine! Ferry and Elvis singing this timeless song together, and John just listening
Even John Lennon would like this version.
Thanks for the post! Bryan Ferry has such elegance when he performs and that has been for every song he has sung! So very enjoyable!
God Bless the 80'ies and Bryan, you helped me out on soo many last dances/chances....LOL" XO, XO....
I have always loved the Lennon original but this is a very good cover, very well done and pays homage to the genius of both Lennon and Ferry. Brian took this Lennon classic and made it his very own!...Legendary!

Agree
Sorry but it's BrYan 🙄
He did the same with In The Midnight Hour.
This song is the original, John Lennon covered it
I saw him live at The Chicago Theater and he sang this and I wept throughout. Just beautiful.
Beautiful. Have tickets to United Center show in September- really hoping this is on their set list.
What a performance, from the most talented band, and singer ever. Sheer class. With their orignal distinctive sound, and superb production. A deeply emotional song for me, for obviouse reasons.

This version was more of a shock really. Meaning a cover made better pure genius of roxy music
Está canción, está versión en vivo en una joya única.

One of the best covers ever...
The bass playing is top notch.
Yea he's elite
Yeah, one of the most beautiful Songs....... Bryan ferry..... And the okey dokey Band

Joy Wright I had the pleasure last week watching him live :)

Eines der besten Songs in den 80ern ... Great Song
❤❤ loved it I grew up with Roxy music, love you guys.
Thank you Judy! I love you too!
Alan Spenner's bass playing is top notch stuff. It lends a completely new dimension to this song.
He deserved MUCH more recognition.
Was he the one who played on the Avalon album? If so, yes. Great bassist. It was a bit difficult to keep up with all their different bass players. I think they went through something like 20 of them over the course of their initial 10 year run.

La migliore interpretazione di questo pezzo musicale è la tua... sei e sarai sempre il migliore interprete di questa melodia...

I was very very fortunate to see Brian Ferry with Roxy Music at The Kleinhan's Music Hall (a beautiful, acoustically excellent venue), Buffalo, NY, circa 1976-1977.
One of my best performances. Brings a tear to my eye 😢
Thank you and you band-player's for special's moments in muzik History!! I can't forget this very bad bad day, at the Same MOMENT, I greatulated my brother Ralf for his Birthday, came the horryble message about John Lennon is shot Down

geile zeit die 80er, geilste band und bester saenger ever, brian ferry, das lied gehoert unter die 10 besten songs aller zeiten.....
Jealousy, I lost control, Pamz ♥!!
Nice moves by THE girls
And the coloured girls go:
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo, ..."
Wow… every bit as great live as it is on record. One of my greatest regrets is that I never saw Roxy Music live. In my defense, I was a bit young (born ‘67), and they split in ‘83, only about 3 years after I really started getting into them.
Anyway, this is every bit as great as the incredible single version. Man, they were a top notch band. Just jaw-droppingly good.
Lou Reed covered this song too, his is an angry version, LR turned jealous and angry singing powerful version, I think this one is the best.
Very very nice and beautiful ! Enjoy every second of this live evergreen!
It still hits home hard, thank you Brain ! Truly mate, thanks for a true classic !!!!
best version......thank you :)
Brilliant song... fresh as when it was writ!
Me encanta esta cancion. Tan bien cantada!❤
MAGNIFICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is so beautiful! Why is music these days such commercial shit and not as beautiful as the old times? Best Song ever!
Still brings a tear to my eye like it it did back in '81. Brian Ferry's great tribute to John Lennon after his death.
True.story..whistling..is. Excellent
Well.like..the.live..song...ferry..is..great
Ferry sung it as a tribute to lennon in December 1980

He dint die he was killed thank you america.
@@mikestevens5837 didn't he die of lead poisoning
