Totally grooving! You can definitely hear the influence this band had on indie rock/dance rock. Great performance, I love all the interplay between the bass and guitars and those vocals right on the money.

What a groove! It has more than the original to my ears. More swing. Fantastic attention to detail and all the tricky parts nailed - the ones I was avoiding as I was playing around with this song earlier, lol. Superb and tasteful - both in the playing and the mixing. Absolutely killer!

This is one of the Roxy songs that was on regular airplay in the states so I know this well...and it is a great tune...
very cool cover Pete...love the guitar work on here...you got it nailed...
I could almost believe this was the band as they were older...cool stuff...
and i would add that for me I should think it would be totally acceptable in the fest for someone else to do the same cover...I think some wouldn't though...
anyway great work

Man this is solid cover. That sax part is hard to ape on guitar. Nailed it. Grooves real well

Smoking cover as I was not familiar with a lot of their work I have been listening to different songs and they sound like it would take some work to cover them Can be appreciated in this cover lots going on

One of the most memorable Roxy Music songs done with style. The vocal sound / performance is especially great!

Great work, a tough one to pull off and I think you pulled it off with style. Great bass work and a superb arrangement, really polished production and an excellent vocal over the top with great harmonies. A really impressive cover, well done!

Great cover. One of my favourite RM songs.
Really liked the bass and the vocal harmonies.

Stellar job on this one, Pete! First Roxy Music song I can remember hearing, and this sends me right back. It's got that perfect, locked-in rhythm, just like the original.
Well done!

Great stuff, Pete. Confident performance and the treatment tilts towards Sound and Vision era Bowie in my ears.

Brilliant cover, totally in the groove here Pete. Your rhythm guitar and bass playing is so tight and a really solid vocal. Enjoyed that had my head bopping along here on the sofa!
