synopsis
Roxy Music vocalist Bryan Ferry has long been one of the suavest men in pop music, and he supported his 1999 solo album As Time Goes By (a collection of pop standards from the 1930s and '40s) with an international concert tour, that, in March of 2000, brought him to the beautiful Le Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. Bryan Ferry: Live in Paris at Le Grand Rex is a home video that preserves the Paris date from Ferry's tour, as he croons such classics as "The Way You Look Tonight," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," and "Just One of Those Things" as well as a few Roxy Music favorites, including "Love Is the Drug" and "Avalon."
