Oui, ws2, je suis d'accord. And especially it would be interesting to hear The name of the game! but please no VP! Instead, Fool for love!
Cher Oberon,
Tu a raison. Je fais le changement tout suit. 'Fool For Love' is a great choice and it is difficult to see what they could add to VP.
I've been playing this list and it works really well. I'd love to see him give 'The Name Of The Game' the 'More Than This' treatment. The lyrics are really haunting and that Ferry melancholy is so omnipresent.
It's just a fabulous song.
On a broader note, I do think that this time out he will have to dig deep and come up with a really creative play list. Hopefully it's in the bag and there will be a great show to go with it.
Walking thru' the favourites with this band won't cut it because we've all heard better interpretations before. The standards worked really well for AEWBF because of TBFO. The arrangements were great and they added a frisson to the whole affair.
I've never left a Ferry/Roxy concert anything less than elated but I have to confess, if I'd seen last years standard show, I think I'd have been disappointed.
AEWBF was such a career high following it was always going to be difficult but I'm sure our hero won't rest on his laurels.
Here's looking forward to Brighton (if the tickets ever arrive).
Salutations,
Windswept
