Great piece John. I had the privilege of seeing Roxy Music at their peak on the Siren tour at the Orpheum. The encore was his incredible cover of A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall and it started to rain on the stage and I recall the drummer, Paul Thompson had a towel on his head. Eddie Jobson was one of the finest violinist in rock history. Many years later we saw Bryan Ferry at the ACL Moody Theater in Austin and he was still amazing. His vocals on In Every Dream Home a Heartache were just as powerful and evocative as ever. I have nearly all of the Roxy Music albums and I still enjoy listening to his well dressed songbook.

I cannot quite recall who I attended that show with. I was still in high school and I didn't have a driver's license but I think I went with Janet and Sean. Do you recall who you went to that show with?
