An Evening with Bryan Ferry

I know I am a bit behind with some of the reviews, where does the time go?

On the 4th November Bryan Ferry performed at the Royal Albert Hall.

Starting off with the jazz of The Bryan Ferry Orchestra (without the great man himself), the evening got off to a rousing start.  All his musicians are consummate professionals.  When he himself took to the stage (in a very dapper jacket) the atmosphere went up a level. Starting slowly he built up the tension, the power and the volume.

Ferry has an extensive catalogue from which to choose material and some of his choices were rare and unusual.  He avoided Avalon (could mean he was worried by the female vocalists).  Sadly he included Jealous Guy.  On one level I don't mind this song, however, it's not a Ferry or a Roxy Music composition (despite being a number one).  I just feel that too many people come along just for that song and there is so much more to Bryan Ferry than that.

By the end he had the whole of the Albert Hall on their feet dancing the night away!
