I was at that show, too. Serious Moonlight tour at BC Place, and the Tubes played first. I also recall that Peter Gabriel nearly drown in English Bay earlier in the day, and invited the Coast Guard members who fished him out of the water to attend the show as his guest.

I've always preferred this version over the one on "So", this one has much more energy and spunk.

I don't understand the favourable reviews from my fellow RP listeners. Perhaps because I don't know Laurie's work, but, with this song in particular, I think the original version is so much better than this one.

More Laurie please...more, more, more

I'm surprised this is the first I've heard Laurie Anderson on RP. Play more please, and not just the song with Peter Gabriel on it. Lots to choose from.

Oh yeah! Such a cool tune.

This one goes to 11.

Laurie Anderson Bravo! Oh, was Peter Gabriel on this, too? Who knew?

This is too funny.

Laurie Anderson was a jaw-dropping show (89 or 90 I think?)

Anyone know what she's up to these days?

I remember being so dissappointed in the 80's when I read an interview where Laurie said she was taking voice lessons, and wanted to sing more.

We could do a whole thread of favorite song quotes from Laurie...

"Hey... gimme that pen"

Here! Here ! I agree! More please.......

First time I heard/saw PG was the lead in for David Bowie in Vancouver wayyyyyyyyyy back. He nearly upstaged the main event! Blew us all away. Nice sound here.

More Laurie Anderson songs please.

Her work is conspicuously missing from Rp's play list
Try Strange Angels; Hiawatha; Kokoku; Big Science, Let X=X, Etc.
Wonderful stuff that stands the test of time

Excellent birds ...

There are two versions of this song, I think: Anderson's and Gabriel's. I like them both, but give the edge to this version.

EXCELLENT!

Yes!!!

This is different than the one on So, right? The only thing someone standing on their head is ready for is a kick in the face.

In order to counterbalance your "I'm not going to take it anymore" votes, I am going to vote "19" on each Peter Gabriel song. The average will then be "10" (I think. Please check the math). Isn't that nice? Yes. Delightful.

Ok.

First time I've heard her here. Could the uploader upload "Mr. Heartbreak"?

This is 80s stuff that you never heard often enough to get tired of it.

I saw "End of the Moon" a few months ago in New York. What did you think? I loved it, although it felt rather abbreviated.

Lucky duck - she's been to Sweden all of once that I know of. *dreamy look*

Perfect timing!

I'm actually going to see her in concert tonight here in Toronto.

She's doing a one-woman show called "The End of the Moon", presumably based on her experience as artist-in-residence at NASA.

I wonder what ever happened to my CD of this... Excellant!!

Thanx...

Does PG donate to RP?

No.

Does he donate to hundreds of talented and deserving artists around the globe of whom we might never have heard if Peter hadn't stuck his neck out to record and promote them? Is he creating a sphere of influence that is impacting musical trends not just in parts of the world from which people like you would never buy a CD but also on the slightly-less-inane-than-20-years-ago nu-metal bands you hear on mainstream radio, pushing them away from the groundbreak-in-their-day but ready-to-be-replaced conventions of the British invasion with rhythms and tempos and lyrical structures from the hidden recesses of human existence? Is he, perhaps, the reason Radio Paradise exists?

I dunno.

This was a great album. I agree with the posts below. Let's hear Sharky's Night with Mr. Burrows. Check out "Home of the Brave", the movie for the complete picture.
