DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
STUNNING BROADCAST SHOW FROM A RE-VAMPED ROXY MUSIC

Roxy Music's 1979 album, "Manifesto", along with its corresponding tour (from which this show was recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour) marked a much-anticipated reunion for the group. Although the band had not officially broken up, they had announced an extended hiatus in 1977, so the members could record, tour and pursue solo identities in the music business.

By the sound of this show, Ferry and the band took their return to the Roxy legacy as a pretty momentous opportunity, and used it as a springboard to launch the band on new, unexplored artistic trajectories. The new material is strong and the audience lets them know it, but when the band starts diving into their classic Roxy hits and album tracks, it is clear to everyone involved that Roxy never really left.

'Out Of The Blue', 'Stronger Through The Years/Ladytron' and 'In Every Dream Home A Heartache' all help get the audience warmed up for what is really one of the most powerful encores the band had ever delivered. They close with hits 'Love Is The Drug', 'Editions Of You', 'Re-Make/Re-Model' and the dance showcase, 'Do The Strand'. All in all, this is a rocking performance - and proof, moreover, that Roxy Music, even deep in their second round, could still pack a powerful punch.
