This is a nice gesture by Mr Ferry as "All proceeds from this release will be shared between Bryan Ferry’s band and crew members in an effort to support them until they can perform live again."

It is indeed a very nice gesture - hopefully live shows can resume in 2021 again.

I’ve ordered the vinyl/cd package - would have been great to get a dvd release but not sure if any of the shows were filmed on the tour?

Got my Sign of the Times download and it sounds really good.

Ordered a bundle too. Great gesture, so hopefully it does well. It'll be good to have a souvenir of a pretty eclectic set list. :)

Hipsters,

Now we know what our hero has been up to - he’s been working again and with all proceeds going to his band & crew .

Quel Homme !

Can’t wait to get the album. RAH 2020 - what a fandango that was.

W2’s last taste of freedom before the incarceration.

Salutations a tous - the sun is rising.

Windswept.

"I can see where yer coming from". It`s far too obvious. They´re cashing in on all those who were deprived of a concert because of the corona lockdown.

Yes on the face of it a nice gesture, but as we all know CD sales don't make much money, which is why big stars do huge tours in huge venues and of course charge us premium ticket prices. I also understand the logic of releasing the CD before Xmas.

Why not continue the process by giving us what we want, such as something from the 1975 Siren tour and the 2010 tour? It would all help. But let's not forget that there are seasonal jobs out there to be done.

Bonjour!

Great news! So happy that I could attend the show at RAH in March with my family (sitting on a bench in Hyde Park drinking wine as an aperitif). Does anybody know if the recording is from one of the nights or if it is a mixture of both?
So now we know what BF has been doing during the lockdown. And such a good gesture to share the profit with his excellent band. I´ve just done the mandatory ordering.
Bonne journée à tous!

Well that's an interesting point because the blurb says 'all proceeds' not 'profits'. Being a pedant, I assumed that meant the whole purchase price was being donated with manufacture costs being met elsewhere. It's a term that can be both confusing and misused but has significant impact, especially in this instance.
