Bryan Ferry has a new solo box set out and in the course of its promotion has been talking about the tricky live debut of one of his most successful singles, 1985’s Slave To Love.
In an interview with the Guardian, Ferry spoke about its composition and its live premiere on the largest stage of all - Live Aid: “The drummer broke his snare-drum skin, the bass was in a different tuning, (David) Gilmour’s guitar wasn’t working properly, and someone had to tape another mic to mine because it wasn’t audible.”
