LIVE AT THE APOLLO

My copy of DVD is bonus-less, but who cares and who needs more? The very concert is wonderfully designed, both musically and visually. The four original Roxy members (Ferry, Mackay, Manzanera and Thompson) are supported by a bunch of hired musicians and lovely ladies, so it is a real treat for your senses. The musical repertoire covers the entire band career, from the Roxy debut till "Avalon" - the whole decade 1972-82. Lucy Wilkins effectively replaces Eddie Jobson on violin and adds some vintage synth sounds so as to re-create Brian Eno's electronic sounds of the first two albums. The finale with "For Your Pleasure" is interestingly set to "fade out" by making the band members dissapear from the stage one by one, starting from Ferry and leaving Colin Good on piano the last to go.

Amazing live set and highly recommended to any prog collector.

(By the way, I would always comfortably put the Roxys back into "art-rock" definition, if that is needed at all!)
