Roxy Music
Oakland Auditorium 1979 (2lp)
Roxy Music's 1979 album, 'Manifesto', along with its corresponding tour marked a much-anticipated reunion for the group. Although the band had not officially broken up, they had announced an extended hiatus in 1977, so the members could record, tour and pursue solo identities in the music business. By the sound of this show, Ferry and the band took their return to the Roxy legacy as a pretty momentous opportunity, and used it as a springboard to launch the band on new, unexplored artistic trajectories.
