One of my favourite live albums - Roxy Music - The High Road - only 4 tracks on the album but what an album.

I prefer the quality of the album to the live video stuff but here's a link to some of the video stuff they were doing on the tour at the time -

im not a big fan of either Bryan Ferry or Roxy Music but I listened to the live "ep"..
two of my faves of theire are on it, both covers...Like A Hurricane and Lennon's Jealous Guy.

I too am not a big fan of Roxy Music but this is one album that just works for me - the other one is Avalon. He also did a solo live DVD in Paris which is stunning.

^^^I really think his Boys and Girls is an excellent album too. It ought to be, with all the brilliant personnel he has on it! MK, David Gilmour, Guy Fletcher, David Sanborn, Omar Hakim, etc., etc. He commandeered half of Dire Straits, right there, in true Ferry fashion, lol!

I bought Avalon on vinyl when it came out, loved it,
bought it a few years later on cd, but it wore thin very quick for some reason..
that said though, the production is spot on IMO.

superb live version...
thanks Jerome,
I could listen to that song all day and not get bored with it...
BTW,
did you ever bother listening to Lennon's original by chance???
