Details

According to Paul Stump's "cultural biography" of Roxy Music, this concert was organised as a showcase by Atlantic Records and featured Jerry Hall reprising her memorable role on Let's Stick Together. The whole show was broadcast on radio (about 60 minutes) but this is just 45 minutes of it. It's a tough, funky performance with Ferry on good form and an enthusiastic and responsive audience.
