The Roxy Music Siren tour commenced in the UK on October 2nd 1975. The tour ran for almost 6 months, including three dates in Scandinavia, and many shows in the US and Canada. Andy MacKay: “(In the States) we played mainly theatres which suited us. In the UK we were playing arenas, but the audience were great in both”.
Roxy’s Siren album was released on October 31st, 1975. Therefore, on many of the early shows of the tour, including all the UK dates, the audience had not heard the new material. Despite that, Roxy played much of the new album, often starting the set with two new songs, Sentimental Fool and Love is the Drug.
Love is the Drug became a hugely successful single for Roxy Music, reaching number 2 in the UK, and number 30 in the US charts. It has been said to have been a progenitor of future new wave and funk sounds and a big influence on acts
