Thanks Jerry, I didn't know that and I would like to look Prairie Rose is one of my favourite songs.

And mine Teresa. So glad they played it in 2011 but the greatest hits brigade didn't get it.

Chère Teresa!
I have been fortunate to attend RM&BF concerts during different eras and in various places. The only time I walked away feeling slightly disappointed was the 02 concert with RM some years ago.
But let´s talk about the good things! BF;s music has given me so much during all these years, inspiration, comfort and so on. Two concerts stands out: Mamouna, Tokyo 1995 BFO, RAH, London 2013. Salutations!

First Roxy gig was at Birmingham Odeon, May 1979 - Manifesto tour and I recall being so excited about seeing them.. I was 19 years old and had been a fan for 6 years ( growing up in Northern Ireland, I'd not had a chance to see them tour previously - I remember dreaming about going to Liverpool for the Siren tour).
Memorable Ferry gigs -the London Palladium on the Bete Noire tour ( 2nd row seats) and many more.... RAH and Shepherd's Bush , Frantic tour , and RAH , 2013.

I agree with Jerry Nunn regarding the 2001 reunion in Glasgow. I remember BF telling the fans to ignore the stewards and invited them to dance at the front. However, for me, there was no better venue to see Roxy & other bands other than the legendary Glasgow Apollo, (to many memories for me to share). As BF once quoted "If I had to go to a Roxy gig, it would be at The Glasgow Apollo".
Cheers, Zappa.

My favorite Roxy concert was their reunion show in 2001 (Munich). Never reckoned they'd come back ... Although most of the songs had been played way too fast  . My favorite Ferry concert was the last one so far (Stuttgart 2015). Sat in front of Bryan and was happy to listen to 43 years of an exceptional career. Thank you!

Cheers, Zappa. It was indeed a wonderful, atmospheric venue. Saw so many bands there. Those were the days.
