Essentially the Only One

The amazing thing about YouTube is that you can find almost anything, even from times that seem very pre-video. Here's a wholly delightful clip of Roxy Music from 1972, when they were at their glam rockiest and strangest, and this was the band that played my first ever rock concert in that same year. At Reading Town Hall. Truthfully, I clearly remember very little about it except it was very loud and very bright. So it's a treat to find this clip to fill in the gaps that my memory has shaken out. Curiously, my strongest and most visual memory of that night comes from outside the hall and standing in the parking lot, either queueing to get in or waiting afterwards for a ride home.

Such a long time ago. I still love the song though. Imagine, an oboe in a rock song.
