I had to listen to that when I saw this thread. Also called Manifesto. That and Stranded are my favourite Roxy albums. Surprised there's nothing from Stranded on the setlist.

I suppose some bands are back on the circuit without any original members and still call themselves by their original name, but for me, thats Trigger's broom. Roxy with just 2 members just isnt Roxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also Like all the John Gustafson Albums Yeah, amazing playing. Gary Tibbs is also credited for bass on Manifesto (the album) but I can't find individual per-song credits. Any idea who played on which songs? They're both pretty handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also Like all the John Gustafson Albums Alan is certainly on the High Road live album and numerous Frèjus videos on YouTube… what a groove to lead into a classic Johnny Gus bassline! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed Mick! I'm still trying to nail Re-make/Re-model... some superb basslines on the early albums, and I need to listen more to Manifesto and beyond...

cetera Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Neil Jason (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Jason) is a phenomenal bassist. Loads of big 70's/80's NY sessions as well as performing extensively with the Brecker Brothers. That's also him with the fantastic bassline on 'Fame'... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
