Friday night at the American Airlines Center, Roxy Music's core quartet — singer Bryan Ferry, guitarist Phil Manzanera, oboist/saxophonist Andy Mackay and drummer Paul Thompson — put on a dream concert.

The notion of seeing Roxy Music live in concert seemed like a complete fantasy at the dawn of 2022, one of those"Wouldn’t it be great if toured again?” music-specific daydreams. Only a handful of bands whose members still live and breathe seemed immune to the seductive pull of the"reunion tour" — Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin come to mind, as did Roxy Music.

Despite only the lower portion of the area bowl being open for an audience — and the entirety of the sections opposite the stage covered by black tarp — the crowd still seemed sparse, not to mention rowdy. There was a surplus of whooping and hollering that recalled an audience at a Doobie Brothers concert that contrasted the elegance onstage and off.

Throughout the show, the various band members smiled widely and obviously. It was clear they were having just as much fun, if not more, than the audience. Opening the show with"Re-Make/Re-Model," the first track on their self-titled LP it was obvious that the song and nearly all the songs that followed had been adjusted to drastically lower keys in order to accommodate Ferry’s increasingly limited voice.
