We are very pleased to announce the long awaited DVD release of Bryan Ferry’s ‘The Bete Noire Tour’.
Originally released as ‘New Town’ on VHS in 1989, this classic live concert is taken from various performances filmed during the ‘Bete Noire’ European Tour Of 1988 and 1989. The DVD is a fascinating insight into Ferry’s moody and mysterious live sound of that period.
Mixed in 5.1 surround sound, the tracks blend into each other via a melting pot of guitars, percussion and synthesizers. Promoting his 1987 album Bete Noire, the show was a mixture of that album, plus other BF solo and Roxy Music tracks.
The musicians on stage are:
Bryan Ferry, Andy Newmark, Neil Hubbard, Luico Hopper, Clifford Carter, Steve Scales, Jeff Thall, Michelle Cobbs, Ednah Holt and Yanick Etienne
Also included in the package is the previously unavailable ‘Konixxtreffen 2002’ concert in Munich, which celebrated Virgin Germany’s 25th Birthday.
This show was filmed in front of a huge audience outside the historic Konigsplatz in the centre of Munich.
