Perfect
I'm not a huge Roxy Music fan. And although I do prefer their early 70s output (to the late 70s/80s stuff), the versions on the tape outshine the studio versions - and seeing Eno, Ferry, etc in all their (made-up) glory is double the fun.

The band really ROCKS - visually and sonically.

A "must see" for any serious student of rock music.

Oh, if only the punks hadn't have intervened...
If you can do the almost impossible and just TUNE OUT the forgotten-but-not-gone Marc Bolan/T Rex (think..."Toy Story"), and fixate on the second half of this DVD, a very early performance of Roxy Music, you'll see how rock and roll might have matured without the twin nuisances of disco and punk. EARLY Roxy: the Brian Eno lineup, BEFORE all the "cool" people got hip to them. You can actually see Bryan Ferry actually sweat, you can see all the teenyboppers in the audience thinking, "HEY, this AIN'T Three Dog Night!" and you can see Roxy in its nascent, unpolished (maybe strongest?) incarnation. Every song is performed note for note perfectly, and it's kind of amusing to watch saxophonist Andy Mackey's disgust with Eno's ineptitude, playing the keyboard on "In Every Dream Home A Heartache." Ferry's even playing an obviously unplugged rhythm guitar on this song, too! And the very final song on the DVD has the Eddie Jobson incarnation of Roxy performing "All I Want Is You." And if you look really closely, you can see 80's "supergroup" (Asia) wanker John Wetton playing bass, too! Oh, if only the punks had burnt out earlier, and AIDS hadn't reared its ugly head into music...

Classic vintage footage!
Unfortunately I never got to see either of these classic bands but this video gives me a taste of what I missed. The Roxy Music footage is amazing, especially because of the prescence of Brian Eno. He has a load of electronic gizmos on the side of the stage and adds cosmic layers of sound to the mix as well as treating the guitar with multilayered tape effects. This is Roxy Music at their peak as they do their classic tunes culled from the first two LP's.

The T. Rex portion is equally as entertaining with Marc Bolan singing and playing some of the band's great tunes. The psychedelic camera work adds to the feeling of the era.

The sound on both bands is surprisingly crisp and well mixed for being such an old show. A must have for fans of either band!!

Glitter Rock era gem.
Perfect time capsule of Roxy Music at the height of their Glitter Rock phase. Lots of songs off of the first and second records. Do the Strand opens and Bryan Ferry doesn't let down from there. A classic! Now if only The Midnight Special would release their 1975 University of Chicago performance...

too little T.REX and too early Roxy
After all how much TREX is available on video?
gotta love it!
Even with the strange but interestingly done (for the time)
Double tracking (both video and audio)of Marc Bolin playing and singing on jeepster.
Unfortunately the highlight and last TREX track, 20th century boy is lip synched. For those who dont know TREX will recognize the song from a recent automobile TV commercial.
I give the TREX portion 4 stars.
Now the Roxy section.........
Too old and dated. There musicianship is lacking in the early years but it is interesting (to say the least)to see Brian Eno.
also interesting is the clips are from multiple years so there are two iterations of the band. Of course Phil,Bryan, and Andy are great. But I saw Roxy live in 1977 and again in 2001 and they are so far superior than this DVD exhibits that if your not familiar with them this would not peak your interest to check them out. It will probably turn you completely off.
