Laurie Anderson on German TV bei Bio 1984

[@fonitronik]

I saw this paricular show back then when I was a teenager. From then on i wanted to make electronic music, it complete changed my course. Thank you Laurie Anderson!

[@antondillet466]

A artist from a different world. I love her work!

[@johnturtle6649]

an* artist

[@zachtbd5585]

I love her words halfway through, that she wants the avant-garde and the pop worlds to cross paths more often. One of the most powerful artists of both the 20th and 21st centuries.

[@Cimbarius]

wow - can`t believe they showed such a performance in German TV back in 1984 (in that time there were only 2 main channels in West German TV) - Alfred Biolek is a good host and presenter - and he seems very interested.

[@joeyocom5087]

The Violin bow has recorded tape on it and the Violin has tape pickup heads on it. FUCKING GENIUS !!!!! Watch the 1986 show here !!!!!

[@AlexanderGoeres]

i destroyed my cassette player back then to build such a thing myself. i just ended up with a lot of electronic junk and very angry parents who couldn't believe what i had done to my beloced cassette player ...

[@nadjakracunovic6986]

I'm completely speechless after what I've seen.

[@stephanepaul8150]

She is so beautiful.

[@kainaumann]

What a wonderful woman!

[@leafnlore2712]

Brings me joy and inspiration still. LOOOVVVEEEE

[@julio_scissors]

[@NeilVanceNeilVance]

Amazing even more today.

[@JohnTLyon]

Check out her exibit at the Herschorn (?) museum. It is amazing!!!

[@jameshollyelsa]

Fabulous stuff thank you for posting

[@dssarr]

LOVE you Laurie!

[@paulwarren9854]

Laurie..😍

[@markmower6507]

I know Laurie Anderson but that blew my mind. Makes me want to look for the rare public service announcements.

[@arnejoppien]

Listening to Laurie Andersons sound creations makes me being convinced that the great Avantgarde group 'Art of Noise' has been influenced very much by her genius.

[@jonsills5783]

She's so Ahead Of Time !

[@reidplombon3604]

Sehr geehrte Frau Anderson- Ihre ganze Karriere ist eine großartige - und laufende - Inspiration. In diesem Fall mag ich es, dass Sie auf eine Ironie Ihre Lage hinweisen (4:16 im Video).

[@beekay5914]

Flawless beauty and deep talent, wow.

[@OTANERFLORES]

amazing

[@herbnerd7]

LOVE IT!!!!

[@silkroadcaravan]

Still my Hero

[@PsuedonymousPatron]

so young...

[@CCKruse]

I imagine this kind of performance in german T.V. today.. what happens?

[@MrAnswerification]

She should play a Bond villain.

[@Asherov]

A Bond violin!

[@laralengel2214]

She should play Bond. Playing a Bond violin.

[@rauldossantos6542]

Fantastic! How much she can say with a few words

[@Zeppolino100]

If you get frustrated earlier, make sure to skip to the 7 minute mark. Otherwise you will miss something wonderful.

[@HeirOfNothingInParticular]

This is fabulous! Love her so much. Wish I could find a video of the tour I saw in the 80’s… that would make me so extremely happy.

[@johnturtle6649]

you can find her doing saturday night live back then.

[@geraldfrank1630]

[@a_tih]

i'm pretty sure everyone thought that Laurie was in love with them. you know.. with that look of hers

[@baronsaturday2103]

Lots of girls/women don't know they have that effect on men when they're just being friendly, I know I didn't. And a lot of them will know one day that if you're smiling at a (strange) man, there will always be men who think you fancy them, and make their move. And if you got a guy in front of you who doesn't like to be turned down or whatever, you've got a problem. So, don't show too much affection to people you don't know, cause it might hurt you. (On the other hand... if you like it, make wise decisions..)

Oh Laurie.

[@fabenyc]

PIONEER!! The original electro godmother!

[@linda5ft]

far beyond her time.

[@kerenchadwick6535]

woah that second "song" i don't know what you call it, lol but it was totally clever and she had a wire in her MOUTH !!! And she is very pretty....

[@Drivethebeat]

The famous "Listen"

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

Her German is quite good, the accent is quite tolerable.

[@timhofstetter5654]

I was very surprised.

[@rree9550]

cringe

[@ryanvincent6506]

Back when she was sort of post punk.

[@frankramrath8433]

Hahaha. Genau so geht es mir manchmal. Granulare Samples - und was nun? Was damit anfangen?.

[@johnturtle6649]

I didn't see it before, but she is the female Elon in a an earlier time

[@fufufoofoo]

Annie Lennox's American friend/Colleague. Both Original and Creative, slightly different directions. Also Cyndi LAuper...

[@marcelodutra4753]

what a beautiful little girl, lovely voice...

[@Zeppolino100]

A beautiful woman and person, yes.

[@rubystone493]

A woman

[@robertofrattini4388]

I still wonder when does the performance start.

[@nowayout8773]

Nash the Slash is also extremely unique and talented

[@nallasivam3270]

[@WarrioRAbsolutE]

For some weird reason she reminds me of Elon Musk...!

[@HeirOfNothingInParticular]

Eeew…. Take that back! 😂

[@AbeedHossain]

This bitch is a fucking genius

[@thomasheinzel7343]

vieleicht taugst du nichts als individium

[@AntonKuznetsovMusic]

well that's pretty basic MIDI triggering... I hope there were more impressive things electronically in the 80s

[@Asherov]

Well, this is pretty much basic KEYBOARD usage...

[@carpetcrawler79]

Have you ever heard her albums???

[@araveofonesown2402]

Midi was just invented around that time!

[@timhofstetter5654]

Were you not alive in the 80s, Anton? Oh. You probably WEREN'T. So you wouldn't know.
