530.0. "Laurie Anderson " by JUMBLY::OCONNOR (_....people just float) Thu Nov 02 1989 13:43

    Hi,
       I'm hoping that any American or Canadian(!) readers may be able to
       help me with this. I'll be in the States (and Canada) between 22 Nov
       and 22 Dec. Mostly in the Boston area...and then Ottawa.

       I've read that Laurie Anderson (`Oh Superman' etc) is playing
       concerts in that general (huge!) area about that time. Does anybody
       know the exact dates and venues ? I could probably post this in a
       U.S. music file, but I've never even looked at them.

       Thanks in advance. (that's if I get any replies!)

    - Tim

530.1	The Phoenix comes out on Friday	HYEND::SCHILTON	When they said sit down,I stood up	`Thu Nov 02 1989 17:38`	4
	If you can wait until tomorrow, I'll get you a rundown of her and some other stuff if you want. Sue

	Thanks Sue. The NME ("Bible") mentioned dates recently. They were not specific though. - Tim
530.3		WELMTS::GREENB	Assault on Room 7	`Fri Nov 03 1989 10:19`	5
	Tim, have you got any Laurie Anderson lps? The one that starts off with the track 'Sharkey's Day' is an absolute corker. I think Peter Gabriel also guests on one or two tracks.... Bob

	"Sun's going down like a big bald head..." Yes Bob I have just two, "Big Science" and the soundtrack to the concert movie. I've forgotten the title of it. Both, to use Dave K's term are quite `spacey'. U.S. writer William Burroughs turns up on it. In the film there's a short waltz with L.Anderson and of course reading `Sharkey's Night' in his dull monotone. "You know I can see two _tiny_ pictures of myself And there's one in each of your eyes..." Nuff said. - Tim Hey kawbsawbee!!
530.5	Well, it was there last week!	HYEND::SCHILTON	When they said sit down,I stood up	`Fri Nov 03 1989 13:13`	8
	There is no mention of her in this week's Phoenix, but don't worry....I'll find out (I'll check the rubbish for last week's. I remember seeing a big photo of her and text that I didn't read.) If you want to know in general what other stuff will be in the Boston area just say so and I'll type it in. Sue
530.6	5 album live set - United States	RAB::KARDON	I must not think bad thoughts	`Fri Nov 03 1989 14:46`	6
	Laurie Anderson fans should also check out "United States", a live five album set. This album is hard to find nowadays, but really worth it! I'm hoping against hope that some day it will be released on CD, but I don't think the LA demand would warrent a 3-CD set. -Scott
530.7		JUMBLY::OCONNOR	_....people just float	`Fri Nov 03 1989 15:05`	8
	Yes it would be good to know what else is happening then. I'll check last week's music press again but I'm pretty sure the exact dates are not in it. I've just bought the new cassette(LP/CD) `Strange Angels'. Haven't heard it yet though. - Tim
