Roxy Music chronicled what turned out to be their final tour of the 20th century by filming a show in an outdoor amphitheater in Frejus, France, on August 27, 1982. The group, promoting the Avalon album, drew only three selections of its 14-song set list from that disc, "The Main Thing," "While My Heart Is Still Beating," and the title tune, otherwise ranging across its entire career. While the show couldn't be called a greatest-hits concert, the U.K. chart items "Love Is the Drug," "Both Ends Burning," "Dance Away," and "Jealous Guy" did turn up, along with old favorites like "Do the Strand" (the first encore) and the appropriately chosen "A Song for Europe." A welcome surprise was a version of Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane." The ten-member ensemble, fronted by tuxedo-clad Bryan Ferry, worked its way efficiently through the performance. Ferry, who dispensed with bow tie and jacket after a few numbers, restricted his remarks, most of them in English, to occasional brief song introductions. While fireworks were fired off during the encore, the staging was actually minimal, making this a performance more about music than visual adornment, with Ferry emoting expressively before giving way to guitar solos from compatriot Phil Manzanera and saxophone work from Andy Mackay. As such, it was a video more likely to be enjoyed by fans than initiates. (The same show, with a slightly different track list, was the basis for the 1990 album Heart Still Beating.) -- William Ruhlmann (allmusic.com)
