Roxy Music's prime period came to an end after the band's last studio album, "Avalon," in 1982, and then a tour that lasted into 1983. By then, there were only three members remaining, Bryan Ferry, Andy McKay, and Phil Manzanera. Nearly twenty years passed until the band reformed in 2001. The occasion was a tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the band. Since then, the band had occasionally regrouped to tour, with the most recent (and probably last) one taking place in 2022. The band did attempt a new album in the 2000s, but they decided not to finish it as they didn't feel it was strong enough to stand with the band's earlier albums.
For this 2001 tour, the three remaining members, Ferry, McKay, and Manzanera, were joined by another founding member, Paul Thompson. The only founding member not to take part was Brian Eno, who quit the band for good back in 1973.
This concert is essentially the band's best songs. Lead singer Bryan Ferry has had a successful solo career, but none of the songs are from his solo albums.
Everything here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent, as you'd expect from the BBC. I'm bummed that, once again, the band didn't play my favorite song by them, "More than This." It seems that was only played on about one out of five dates during their 2001 tour.
This album is an hour and 22 minutes long.
