"Both the star and team player

The rock star Bryan Ferry would in Tivoli Concert Hall well give the people what it wanted. But he gave it something more. Unfortunately, he was betrayed by his sound engineers.

The 69-year-old figure Bryan Ferry was serious. The Briton, who have achieved success and respect as a soloist and with his unique band Roxy Music, equivalent to a nine persons large, very versatile and grand orchestra, including the Danish guitarist Jacob Quistgaard and faithfully and enthusiastically filled his role with both many solos and a good eye for the collective.

With the extremely solid backing took the main character out of a half hour long musical errand. Bryan Ferry, who always well-dressed and a little edgy in his body language, mixed a number of its poppiest, dance numbers with some of his more than 40-year career, more distinctive and Orthodox glitter rocking structures.

An aging man's vulnerability

His singing voice has, as the years have passed, got a whiff of an aging man's vulnerability. This dimension stripped him and had to be distinguished from a worn vocals. But of course, a singer with a career over five decades not have the same kind of power as before.

So it was logical with the vocal pingpong who regularly took place with the three singers. But Ferry could easily alone, as he showed with his subdued version of "More Than This". Here he played the keyboard at the back right of the stage, and it was far from the only time that he, despite his leadership preferred this workplace to the microphone stand near the edge of the stage and the audience. He was both a star and a team player.

Poor sound for about 20 minutes

Sound people he had unfortunately not managed correctly.

The first approximately 20 minutes was there, heard from my place on the ninth row, an annoying strange imbalance. The electric guitars and drums took up too much compared to the keyboard, singers and Ferry's vocals. Only Jorja Chalmers' solid performance on various saxophones and clarinet came right from the start properly from the speakers.

From the 34-year-old Roxy Music hit "Oh Yeah" came a whole term fortunately to be stronger, and with the equally old and large organized "Stronger Through The Years" demonstrated the whole orchestra strength in both cooperated sound.

Songs from the new album

"Loop the Li" from the upcoming album "Avonmore" was like the old hits "Slave To Love" and "Do not Stop The Dance" groovy on Ferry's unique cool way. A strong personal touch was that of the lesser-known "Take A Chance With Me", and with classics finally like "Let's Stick Together", "Love Is The Drug" and "Jealous Guy" got the audience on its feet and was with rhythmic applause ready for more. But Ferry plan was completed".

Hipsters,
Maybe it is Dr.Strangelove or maybe it's Colin Good looking on !

Could be.....

Taking into account the vagaries of language that result from Google Translator, these reviews seem reasonable to me (based upon seeing BF in concert on Oct 4). It's not a bad show that he is presenting, but it has its limitations.

Seven gigs between Oct 21 and Oct 31. That's a lot for any vocalist, and especially for someone 69 years old who has experienced a recent throat infection. Both ends burning...

3 out of 6 stars

"The guitar beat master swing in cam filled Bryan Ferry concert
Bryan Ferry shelves timelessness of his music, but it can be a difficult balance.

Oh, Bryan Ferry, you were an almost inexplicable oasis of stylish elegance. In a time that otherwise was mostly leather jackets or wintered smocks, was your white tuxedo jacket one opinionated greeting from another world where you were flirting with beautiful women in the palm gardens, while Cole Porter's spirit nodded encouragingly of the champagne glass.

First there was this odd mix of Roxy Music's experimental artrock and front man of the world the character's flirtatious attitude. So solo race more stylish sophistication and elegant interpretation culture in the hands of a kitsch crooner, with increasing conviction has declared his support for the Conservative culture in everything from jazz to fox hunting.

Better in the old days?
The time must stand still in Bryan Ferry's company. Or go backwards in its own way, as was the case when he was 'The Jazz Age' staged Roxy Music's artrock classics as cheerful jazz, from before the world was dislocated and low. But where is Bryan Ferry go when he needs to go forward?

Yes, it gives his last several pop albums do not really have any answers. Ferry refine the shape and keeping the style, and that's it. Judging from the two tracks from the upcoming November album 'Avonmore', he sang in the Tivoli Concert Hall, will not be either expanded the answer now.

'Loop the Li' sounded to confusion as one of the elegantly curved pop songs with Roxy sound, you know, love, and as well can use an extra of. To interpret Robert Palmer's 'Johnny and Mary' from 1980 is not exactly waltz with the sharpest cutting edge. But who also says it partout to look forward, now that so much was better in the old days?

Crunchy on the lines
Bryan Ferry himself seemed in relaxed high spirits. The voice was cast in brylcreem, spirits high and the loop tied loosely. But the musical staging was both recognizable and a little beside himself.

Typical of Ferry was an orchestra with many members and several women. The female drummer Cherisse Osei gave the full throtlle and veteran Guy Pratt controlled bass while the slim Georgina Chalmers in black jumpsuit and saxophone mm took Andy Mackay's old role. The three singers were a wonder of precision.

But with so many instruments in game sound stage be clearly drawn up, and in the first half of the concert was crunchy on the lines. A key role took the Danish guitarist Jacob Quistgaard, who recently became a member of Ferry's band. The London-based guitarist appeared as a technically extremely accomplished guitarist.

Quistgaard stepped forward and provided great, great guitar blocks whenever the opportunity presented itself, and did so often. Lawful often. So much of the music's romantic spirit was managed as a guitar rock that made the old-fashioned rather than timeless.

In the quest for youthful energy lost especially Ferry's more fiery events some of the balance. But beautifully supported by the three singers bar Ferry's vocals 'Kiss and Tell' safe goal while Dylan's '(Just Like) Tom Thumb's Blues' from 'Dylanesque' and 'Johnny and Mary' both sounded like cover songs that are not held Ferrys high standard for just the art.

The sound, however, was resolved half way, and with an emphasis on several of the great Roxy Music hits was nevertheless a concert where I think I got something to take home.

Not something new, but something good. 'Avalon', 'Casanova' and 'Love Is The Drug' was all, like they should, and when they do, it's Bryan Ferry also musically very well dressed.

So turn it up for 'More Than This' and dreaming for more cool climes where love came and went as breezes in exotic evening dresses dream home almost without cardiac pain.

Then you slide back in the seat of Tivoli and listening to 'Take A Chance With Me' about how love once again is blind. A song that proved how closely Ferry has lurked jazz standard feat and recalled the paper thin a line separates the romantic from the banal. If it then exist. In the mouth of Ferry it tends to dissolve, and it is an art in itself.

A lavishly beautifully sung version of John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy' recalled the pain of eternal flirtens kitsch cruiser on the surface of, actually is in Ferry's reach. Although he rarely leaves the mark of the kind".
