[@dr.sinawahn4156]

So ahead of her time. Genius at work.

[@natasatapuskovic6690]

Amaizing...she is so powerful...❤❤🎉

[@tedreburn3568]

Yes, wish would have. But, I can honestly say My partner and I have seen her 7 times in our lives. We have traveled to see her.. She never disappointed. Laurie Anderson has been an integral part of our lives. Shes a genius. What more can you say. She belongs in a " hall of fame" of her own. No one else compares

[@jair5417]

meredith monk, pamela z, and diamanda galas are all artists in the same orbit. youd love them if you dont already know them. these 4 women are my favorite electronic composers and performers of all time

[@vassalagem1]

Hello. Do you know if the full text of this show was published anywhere (book, whatever...) ?

[@livelyarts49]

I can relate, and feel the same myself, and that goes for a few of my friends as well, she's an integral part of our lives and I for one, agree on every accolade!! 🎉😊🥰😍🤩🥳

[@karlshallowhorn7258]

What a treasure. Words cannot express her genius.

[@laviniawinter702]

This woman is so phenomenal and to be able to stand there playing her incredible instruments and recall all her poetry without a glitch. Amazing

[@thehimer3903]

IMHO the greatest living artist

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

feels so prescient - in 1997 the world did not seem so dark to me... "speed of darkness" seems to describe the past 5+ years so well

[@DodderingOldMan]

I genuinely think she just has the best voice I have ever heard.

[@junglie]

Thank you for posting this, Lauries Heart of a dog helped me enorously after the death of my mother, Loved her work since O superman. Love & light to all her fans.

[@brylorbs69]

Thank you for posting this! I was fortunate to attend the world premier of United States 1-4 at BAM. It was a two night performance that changed my life. This woman is a national treasure.

[@maha77]

I saw her perform 'The Speed Of Darkness' in Los Angeles in the late 90's, amazing show!

[@TyroneEpps]

Her music is better live & in the studio❤❤❤❤

She came up with the Web based Master Class before Master Class existed.

[@MJK1965]

Phenomenal

[@gronkuspillsberry6252]

[@ZOGGYDOGGY]

She moves my ID, tickles my Ego and stimulates sublation of my Superego.

[@maximococononjis]

I had no ideia about this show! So, so good! 🎩🦜🎩

[@thepressuretechnique]

I've been a huge fan since Big Science.

[@securityrobot]

This reminds me of her performance at the Dominion Theatre, it must’ve been around the same time as this. That show had projected images in the background whilst Laurie performed.

[@oa5341]

Oh Laurie, this is just amazing as lol

[@soonsmyth9981]

WOW 🤩

[@cmcillekens]

La historia de Alejandro está en un poema de Robert Graves.Borges dijo que probablemente era una historia muy antigua.

[@sidDkid87]

*the one, the only...*

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

interesting how the performance ends - first with a "traditionally beautiful" song 1:29:10 , as if to appease a potentially alienated audience - but in the ending on the most freakish note with the pillow speaker as if to make the avantgarde savvy folks go ?!?!?wtf 1:36:00 - gotta love the Anderson :D

[@beatrizsanbram9910]

que pena que ningun video estè subtitulado al español -castellano porque es super interesante su visiòn, su crìtica al sistema....

[@TheVoiceOFMayhem1414]

Is the part with the violin a song of her somewhere? :o 40:43 it starts. Sounds amazing! Also 1:01:26

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

25:50 is that the same keyboard preset used for the Mac startup sound ? :D

[@UpandDownRacing]

Applause sounds very chunky at 0 + a few seconds. Hope the rest is simply very old data streaming equipment getting started.
