Watch 'Flashbacks of a Fool' with Daniel Craig

Indeed it is, and a great one, Daniel Craig, Harry Eden, Felicity Jones and dear Miriam Karlin.

Agree

what are the other four?

@@carla_del_ponte As of this moment (!): 2) Strawberry Fields Forever; 3) The Whole World Window (Cardiacs); Thanks but no thanks (Sparks); Mr. Armageddon (Locomotive). But it'll probably change tomorrow!

Totally agree

_it's unbelievable what confidence and ability these guys had, for such a new band._ Man, you nailed it.

i love the "raw rough hard-going" vibe to these early recordings, especially this one.

@@poltergeistfm the middle part from 5:30 is quite unfinished, raw or whatever, may be redundant. I like the flow the song has on the Long Player. In particular, the constant beat of the drums that keep the 3 parts of the song perfectly together. It is one of their best and one of the best.

Fun thing is, Eno admits he had no idea what he was doing but he was the only one who had some kind of understanding of music electronica (and it wasn't a lot). " I just used to stand there and twiddle knobs".......

This isn't Phil, I'm pretty sure. Davy O'List.

@@tubatalabal did he last long enough to the first us tour? if so, it must be. similar grooming styles.

@@DaveAnchovies I don't think so. From what I know of him, he had a singularly grating personality that led to his quickly joining, and then leaving, several bands.

Absolutely a masterpiece since I discovered it from the film flashbacks of a fool .

Hmm, that's a real problematic point of view...Would you deny that Shakespeare has nothing to say to humanity today? Or, even if you're talking about the language itself you don't think just listening to Shakespeare recited is no longer a pleasant experience...?

The first four Roxy albums still sound ahead of their time. Theg just released a live Bryan Ferry Band live show from 1974 which includes a fabulous version of "A Really Good Time" that makes you realize how good their so-called "minor" songs were.

Music is like a time machine.

Seems a different - and more intensely wonderful - version that the Peel session of the same song. on Spotify. I start listening during the instrumental part - about 9:45. Great great stuff!

I’m a vinyl record collector and I’ve literally got a selection of just John Peel Sessions BBC. Brilliant stuff always. Roxy is missing from my collection. So good. The search is on!

I would almost think , you never noticed , Roxy's drums ? I know they are a little bit further , in the back ground , as you call it , but pardon my comment , for me and I heard this album first , when it was brand , harry spankers and strait after that for at least 10 years , I could not start my day without it ! So , maybe this is all a bit unfair , since Roxy was one off the prime example's off bands , associated with producing a " wall of sound " and belief you me , life , they where nothing short of that ! But that is also , why I tell no more about , drums and things , find out yourself , you won't regret it .

@@antoonvanmaris58 Uhh...I agree (?)...And...There are plenty of examples where you don't have to strain in the least to hear Paul Thompson's "greatness"--a couple of my favorites: Out Of The Blue from Viva! and the Viva! version of this song...

ive never called or thought of them as art rock. post-punk before people realized proto=punk bands were thinking of something more than amps at 11 and songs about game of thrones type nonsense. ha. definitely gods of many things not yet invented, too. its definitely like nothing else at the time so i wouldnt argue that...i still cant figure out how long it took to break into the US. no radio hit until 5th album? shame on dr. johnny fever.

And he only got better (if that is possible)...

Everything is incredible.

Yes, it's quite striking. Reminds me of some of the patterns that Ian Paice used to play, slowed down a bit for the tempo of the song.

My big bruh had it as well n I’d play it over n over again. Especially those parts...I would do anything for you...timeless

My favorite version of a masterpiece

Liz O'neil awesomeness love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely!

But what gang exactly are Brian and Bryan in ? ;)

Bohemian Rhapsody? Seriously, that can't be mentioned in the same breath as this.

aktake2 true that

Just heard this version and heard the song for the first time on Boston's WZBC. Yes, that last verse - after the ad in the last couple of minutes. That's we why we Roxy.

Just do it :)

many have.

The great paul Thompson playing Roger's 🥁 on the 1st album is Sublime especially lady trone

Again and again. So good

Growin' potatoes by the score? YESSS . . . the most brilliant song ever. Bryan Ferry is a god.

and where the other brian won't just leave (while still inventing ambient music, collaborating/producing bowie talking heads etc.) but keeps enriching their sound. i, too, prefer my dandies rugged and deep.

White dinner jackets, indeed! Kind of like Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood trading in their Radiohead chops for suits and ties? (Now there's a Monty Python skit idea in there somewhere.) Though knowing their talents they would both be thundering through the aisles of Henry Poole & Co. all decked out bringing Savile Row into the 21st century.....(my word - and I'm not even British - what's come over me?)

Take your thumbs of it bro it'll shrink

peel sessions...they dragged it out x

I think it's three songs...each charting the ages of man/woman. My 2d's worth.

@@iamreg1965 still a fucking great song, even after all these years.

God this comment is so accurate

Rachel Hollanda :you sound lish Rachel by chloe,s dad?????????.

Hello There ! Thanks Ivor - yeah ! really great version on viva! [ but it has been edited, chopping out Eddie Jobson's violin virtuosity - still fantastic thou ! ] but i do prefer the rawer version - more Sonic Attack & Brain Eno too ! but then the slicker Roxy Music is Superb too. - good thing is we can have both of them !! Cheers to Resident Poltergeist ! variety been the spice of life !? the unedited version on viva ! apparently used to be on " wolfgang's vault " - u could try contacting Wolfgang Deushle - must be the same guy i would of thought !?. Next on the list to enjoy will be " In Every Dream Home A Heartache " - another Roxy Music masterpiece !! the reason i probably prefer the John Peel Session Is because i am a Hawklord & an old glammy / punk rocker ! - punk aint dead ! - its just revolting -revolution rock ! All the best to all the true [ Roxy ] music believers . Kind Regards to all from Andy Beard xxx

I prefer this one too. It seems more grander once it gets going. But both versions are fantastic.

Agreed. To me, this will always be the definitive version. So much raw character in each unique part of it.

@@sws112playsroblox9 Jobson still has some "virtuosic" moments on the Viva! version, even with the edit, which I actually think represents a POSITIVE tweaking of the original unedited recording, which, incidentally is still available on Wolfgang's Vault (along with the entire!! concert from 1974, from which the VIVA! version of IEDHAH also was taken, of course--also played in that concert was All I Want Is You, Street Life, et.al..) BTW..."Wolfgang" refers to Bill Graham's actual birth name, right?--Is that whom you were referring to?

There is a live bootleg from Newcastle that has the full version of the Viva track including the full Jobson solo. Now that is the best version!!!!

Та да! оШень мощная на любителя.

I saw them twice then... Both times at Newcastle city hall 👍😎

Perfeito!!

!

Julio Ventura :disagree totally different types of music,but floyd are amazing.

Coooool...:) (Actually he probably insisted on putting it on to hide his Tarzan leopard skin...Haha!)

Deep in the zone

I think it's O'List.

Definitely Mr. Manzanera
