Great show by Bryan Ferry at New Orleans beautiful Saenger Theater on March 16, 2017. I'm a fan of both the weird, rocking early Roxy tunes, and the sultry, multi-layered smooth Avalon, and latter day solo stuff, and as usual, this set list included both. Top notch band (no surprise), and Ferry remains about as cool as they come. It was my 4th or 5th time seeing him, and probably the best. Surprisingly he has been skipping both of his last 2 superb CDs this round of dates so far - Avonmore and Olympia.
The set list: The Main Thing, Slave to Love, Ladytron, Oh Yeah, A Waste Land/Windswept, Out of the Blue, Zamba, Bete Noire, Stronger Through the Years, Like a Hurricane (N. Young), Tara (instrumental - superb!), Take a Chance With Me, Remake/Remodel, In Every Dream Home a Heartache, If There is Something, More Than This, Avalon, Love is the Drug, Virginia Plain, Both Ends Burning, Jealous Guy (J. Lennon), Editions of You (by which point the whole theater was rocking). Superb!

Great setlist indeed. I thought he retired some years ago. Anyway, on his homepage he offers a double-CD-live-album recorded in 2015 which also has a very impressive setlist. Regarding "If There Is Something", Tin Machine did it better.

Killer setlist. This sounds like a Roxy show. For a Bryan Ferry solo show I would have expected an all white jacket affair; all mellow. And therefore I would not have gone. Obviously I'd have missed out.
I have decided recently that "If there is something" is one of the great songs.

I'm with you all the way on this; terribly overlooked masterpiece in his back catalogue.

His first 4 solo albums are as strong as early Roxy albums.Quote

That was the first Bryan Ferry or Roxy Music-related album I ever bought, It has some of Bryan's better original solo songwriting. The musicians on it are good, too, especially Chris Spedding.

For the life of me I can't figure out why there hasn't been an official release of the Roxy BBC sessions. Maybe everybody has the boots.

Bryan Ferry´s cover-albums are crappy. (except As Time Goes By) His masterpiece as a soloist is Boys And Girls, he never did anything better afterwards.
Olympia & Avonmore are decent but not what it´s used to be. Quite boring compared to Boys And Girls/Bete Noir/Mamouna.
