the 2001 Roxy show I saw is by far the best “reformed band plays back catalogue” show i have seen - and i have probably seen too many - they were so good! i went as a casual listener and left a devoted fan
saw Ferry a few years back and found it a bit disappointing - he was cool but i found his band a bit underwhelming, i was hoping for a hyper-drilled unit of young guns recreating the studio sheen of his best solo stuff - but it just felt a bit tired and session-y
I remember at the 2011 (?) Roxy shows there was meant to be a bit of tension re Bryan wanting to fold his solo hits into the setlist, and the band resisting - i think they played Let’s Stick Together as a compromise - i certainly would have been outraged if the show i saw had ended with that instead of For Your Pleasure, it was a perfect way to close out a show

Wonder if that was the tour I saw in the little theater at MSG with Rufus Wainwright opening.

If you mean 2001, yes.

i saw Eno perform live in 2009 - it was an event called Pure Scenius, a live semi-improvised collaboration with Karl Hyde, Jon Hopkins, The Necks, Leo Abrahams maybe some other people i've forgotten about! there were three concerts in one evening, with Eno directing the course of each improvisation from a little control station onstage (and very occasionally singing and playing a bit of keyboard). if it wasn't quite as good as it could have been, there were definite highlights and felt like a legitimate way to "see Eno live" - ambitious and interesting, rather than just a trad live show.

Well, went for tickets for SF so bring on the stately chaos, if you will.

I believe Eno did something live with his brother in the past six months in Athens.

I briefly thought that Eno Bros at the Acropolis concert was for this summer and contemplated taking my family to Greece. I’m glad I checked. 😬
