I know it's a bit wierd replying to my own post but I have had a good listen to this concert and I am so impressed. I have never heard Roxy rock so well.
I read that AM did not like the Viva album saying that it was "overworked" and "didn't sound like Roxy". The original plan was for Viva to be a warts and all double album and I guess this Newcastle performance if more or less what they had in mind.

I have never warmed to Viva but I instantly liked this concert so I guess Andy was right as per usual.  |

What can I say - a brilliant depiction of Roxy at their live best - interesting to note they were planning the live album in 1974 and its a real shame they didn't go down the route of a double live from this tour.
I just wish I had seen this tour.

"If It Takes All Night" is freakin' brilliant! I love this version. Bill and PM, thanks for putting the forum back up - I've missed it these past few years. p.s., friends, check out this autographed LP gatefold of the first RM album (signed during the 2001 tour - and yes, that is Bill's signature...): www.amenfoto.com/gallery/concerts/roxy_music_album.html |

Very interesting! So who did play on the first album, Graham Simpson or Kenton?  ?? |

I thought Graham Simpson was on the first album as the official bassist, following his departure however, it became more of a guest role with the amazing John Porter (my fave), and John Gustafson following. I'm sure Rik Kenton, Sal Maida, and John Wetton etc filled the live duties. |

I thought GS played on the first album and his photo is on the sleeve of my vinyl "RM". Have a look at the link above - the photo on that sleeve is of Kenton!!
