As the World Turns

This is a really interesting compilation album, designed by an anonymous artist.

The nicest thing about the 1999-2000 As Time Goes By tour is that Bry performed a hell of a lot of songs, way more than any subsequent tour. The set list kept evolving, although usually this meant more of the 1920s songs were dropped and more Roxy classics brought in. Consequently, no album of a single concert could have all 31 vocal songs, plus the six instrumentals, that were played on the tour.

I don't have a copy of this myself, but I bet that it's great fun to listen to. The artwork disappoints me; I don't care for fancy fonts on track lists, and sources for each performance would have been preferred. The front cover appears to be from the "Dance With Life" video, and the inside a shot of the girls from the "ow-ow-OW" part of "Let's Stick Together" from the Grand Rex DVD. Still, a terrific project overall.
