Not the strongest of singers, Ferry is often drowned out by the sheer stamina of his backup band. But it's impossible, still, not to be transported by the stylish earnestness and whiff of decadence in his soaring vocals. Highlights include Roxy's rather wonderful cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," and the essential disco anthem "Love Is the Drug." Modest DVD supplements include a discography and a cute feature that identifies the musicians by face. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Bryan Ferry in Concert (Live in Paris at Le Grand Rex, March 2000)
Excellent for any Roxy Fan I was very interested to get a live performance DVD from one of my favorite musicians, Bryan Ferry. I wanted to hear the standards of "When Time Goes By" mixed with his Roxy and other solo efforts.
Bryan Ferry always had a great stage presence and the DVD showed his style and elegance. Always fashion conscience, his horn and rythym section were dressed in tuxes and string section comprised of beautiful women in black leather pants and they let their hair down at the end.
While I figured the standards and some Roxy tunes ("Oh Yeah", "Jealous Guy", "Avalon") would translate well into this orchestra format, I was unsure of other tunes listed on the jacket. But two songs from Country Life, "Out of the Blue" and "Casanova", were masterfully done. "Casanova" had a blusey-jazz-calypso beat to it that I can't get out of my head.
At the end, the climaxing songs ("Avalon", "Jealous Guy", "Let's Stick Together", and "Love is the Drug") bring down the house.
All in all this is a real treat for all Roxy Music fans. Bryan Ferry is at his best and the band and audience react to his incredible performance.
I highly recommend this DVD for all Roxy fans.

This DVD contains some of the best moments from Bryan Ferry's stellar 1999-2000 "As Time Goes By" Tour.
Ferry has never shied away from interpreting others' songs. He even re-did some of his own creations on his "Let's Stick Together" solo album. Listening to Ferry's cover songs is akin to looking at the same painting and discovering new things in the process.
Aided by the fresh arrangements of Colin Good, Ferry's tradition continued during this enjoyable concert at Le Grand Rex in Paris in March 2000. Ferry's setlist includes 30's songs from the October 1999 release "As Time Goes By", his solo stuff, and some Roxy classics.
Ferry may front the stage; but the true stars of the tour were the musicians. It is awesome to see a classically trained ensemble perform the "harder" early Roxy songs like "Chance Meeting" and "Casanova" and casually switch into faithful jazz renditions of Cole Porter.
This DVD captures the versatility and the charisma of the most underrated performer in the late 20th century. This is a must-buy for all Ferry/Roxy Music fans and those who appreciate honest renditions of 1930s music.

a truly wonderful performance by one of the greats, who through innovation and vision manages to constantly entertain in so many ways.
The musicians on this tour and the song selections are magical, blending modern with classic in powerful ways.
Ferry brings so much musical joy to the world.
