Summary: A Must Have For Serious Roxy Music Fans!
Review: A Club/Concert video from Roxy Music's early days. The sound quality is excellent. Video footage is high quality and very well done. Songs include Do The Strand, Editions Of You, In Every Dream Home A Heartache, Remake Remodel, Virginia Plain and All I Want Is You. Reminded me of how much I enjoyed their first US tour.

Summary: T.Rex live... on DVD
Review: A nice vehicle for Marc and the boys always incredible live shows. The T.rex on this particluar DVD isn't much better than some of the other live footage VHS out there now, but T.Rex and Marc Bolan always add a touch of gold to everything that chooses to add their music.

Summary: too little T.REX and too early Roxy
Review: 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.

This is Roxy Music at their golden period and the fact that it is live is a real bonus.
The sound Quality is supurb and sounded fantastic through the sound system.

Summary: Worth buying simply for the Roxy tracks
Review: Classic Roxy and Bryan Ferry, taped in a club-like setting. Five performances with the original lineup, including Brian Eno, doing songs from the first two albums. The sixth song, All I Want Is You, includes John Wetton (Family, King Crimson, U.K, Asia) on bass. The only complaint is that the entire DVD isn't Roxy, tho' the T. Rex tracks are fine, too.

Summary: good old roxy music
Review: I bought this dvd for the roxy music part. And to be honest from the moment I have this dvd I already saw it 8 times. The setting is great, to see roxy music, as they where in the beginnen, on a small stage, bringing back memory's. Even if you hear the music now, its still as not aged in time. So for the realy roxy music fans I can just say, buy this dvd, sit on your chair en let the show begin.

Summary: Oh, if only the punks hadn't have intervened...
Review: 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...

Summary: Great live Eno-era Roxy Music footage
Review: Roxy Music: BLISTERING early 70's live versions of tunes from the first two Roxy Music albums. Neat to see Eno manipulating Phil Manzanera's "In Every Dreamhome..." guitar solo. A treat for Roxy/Eno fans. Great sound, good video quality. Amazing how boring these guys grew to be in later years -- they had so much energy back then! The very last Roxy track is from an Enoless, Jobson/Weton, version of the band. Not as great as the Eno era, but worthwhile.T-Rex: Unlike the Roxy material which is all live and contains no overdubs, these segments from various appearances on Musikladen combine a live T-Rex take with extra lead guitar and vocal overdubs by Marc Bolan. Also unlike the Roxy material, the T-Rex segments have psychedelic blue screen effects throughout the songs which are kind of neat and appropriate for the time, but also a little distracting. Still, I like the T-Rex songs and the sound quality is excellent. T-Rex weren't really big in the US so its kind of a treat to see and hear something besides "Bang a Gong". Long live glam! This is a very cool, offbeat, DVD.
