Roxy Music/Avalon World Tour Rehearsals 1982

In 1982, before the “Avalon” tour, Roxy Music’s very valuable SBD rehearsal sound source is now available. The sound quality is almost perfect and is recorded on a clear stereo soundboard in good condition. Until now, Roxy has never had anything in the form of live rehearsal, either official or unofficial, and this is probably the first time. The source of the sound source is presumed to have been leaked by a related party, but unfortunately there is no clear data, so based on the band’s records, it is predicted that the location was Wimbledon, England, and the time was from late July to early August. Masu. The content is almost full of the songs for one performance on this tour, and the performance is characterized by an extremely high degree of perfection. They have probably already done a lot of rehearsals and are now in the final checking stage. Highlights include the performance of rare songs such as “More Than This,” “The Space Between,” and “Eight Miles High,” which were rarely or never performed in the actual live performance, and especially the Japanese title “Yoru ni Hatakete”. Why isn’t “More Than This”, which was a hit in Japan, played at the Japanese concert? It was a strange number, but since Ferry says “problem number” before this song, it seems that it was decided at that time that it was not suitable for live performances and it was dropped from the set list. . Although the take here is a little difficult to sing, it is a song that is worth listening to live. The album “Avalon” was characterized by the finest sound creation with a floating feeling that has never been heard before, but this rehearsal sound source does not faithfully reproduce the sound of the album, but is arranged for live performance. It’s easy to understand and hear what has been corrected, and the high sound quality makes it feel like a re-recorded best album. The vivid conversations and interactions between the band and chorus that can be heard between songs are just as enjoyable as the performance. Please enjoy this sound source that will surely satisfy not only Roxy fans but also 80’s Western rock fans. Avalon World Tour Rehearsal: Summer 1982 STEREO SBD Disc 1(48:30) 1. The Main Thing 2.
