By the time ‘Viva!’ arrived, Roxy Music had moved from cult innovators to one of the most important and imaginative forces in 1970s music, and this live album captured the thrilling arc of a group who had already transformed rock’s aesthetics, ambition and attitude.
Recorded across three legendary UK venues - Glasgow Apollo (Nov 1973), Newcastle City Hall (Oct 1974) and Wembley Empire Pool (Oct 1975), ‘Viva!’ acts as a sort of alternative greatest hits of the band’s first era.
