Cassette (audience, unknown gen, 2 x TDK D60's, from a Camden Market seller in 1994) > wav > Soundforge(normalise uneven L&R channels) > CDWave(split on sector boundaries) > flac(6) (> flacs tagged with winamp)

This is the first of 3 nights she did at the Hammersmith Odeon.
The taper adjusted the levels a few times during the applause between songs.  I didn't try to smooth it out, it's really not that bad.
Tape flips between tracks 10&11, 12&13, 21&22. The start of track 13 is missing, a short spoken piece which I don't know the correct title of.

Laurie Anderson - Slim's, San Francisco, CA, USA - 17.02.1990 (Flac)

Very Good soundboard recording. Thanks to the original uploader.

Thanks to David Gans for the DAT and to Charlie Miller for the transfer.

01. My Eyes
02. spoken word (politics)
03. Good Night Ladies
04. I See By Your Outfit
05. spoken word (Japanese)
06. spoken word (National Anthem)

09. Coolsville
10. Who Wrote These Rules
11. spoken word (farm animals)
12. Hey Girls
13. Manic Depression
14. Sergio Leone + Maplethorpe
15. spoken word (male alter ego)
16. spoken word (more about the clone)
17. Pobre Mexico
18. Hiawatha
19. JFK election story
20. Playboy Club story
21. Beautiful Red Dress
22. spoken word (Artpark performance art)
23. Smoke Rings
24. Walk The Dog
25. Brilliant Pebbles
26. The Dream Before
27. White Lily

Tracking is somewhat arbitrary because the performance moved seamlessly from music to spoken word, and from topic to topic.  Some of these pieces probably have formal names, and some may be mixed together or split apart.  There's only so much 30 year old performance art I can take. 

Enjoy!

Notes: I got very lucky when I found a ticket on the day of this show (at face value). Definitely a unique concert. When Michael Dorf started the show by announcing that Patti Smith was ill and that The Roots were not performing I was definitely disappointed, but that's show business. You can read about what happened with The Roots here: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-roots-bilal-kimbra-pull-out-of-bowie-tribute-concerts-20160330. As usual for rock shows that I've attended at this venue, the acoustics were pretty poor, and it's well captured in this recording. A second show at Radio City Music Hall is tonight, but I'm not there. Maybe someone else? I video recorded only one song, but it's a good one:

Laurie Anderson - HomeOfTheBrave (ProShot DVD)

Another gem from the VHS years that never got a DVD release.

"Home of the Brave" is a 1986 American concert film featuring the music of Laurie Anderson, who also directed the movie. The film's full on-screen title is "Home of the Brave: A Film by Laurie Anderson". The performances were filmed in Brooklyn during the summer of 1985.
The film was briefly available on VHS and Laserdisc in the early 1990s.

This is a rare, high quality DVD that was made using the original Laser Disc as a source.
Picture and sound quality is amazing.

The film included appearances by guitarist Adrian Belew, Beat author William S. Burroughs (who famously briefly dances a slow tango with Anderson during one song), keyboardist Joy Askew, and percussionist David Van Tieghem. Also, Barry Sonnenfeld, who was early in his movie-making career, receives an early film credit for operating "second projection camera" on this film. The film was released by Warner Bros., but was commercially unsuccessful.

A soundtrack album, which contained studio versions of some songs from the film, and live versions of others, was released concurrently with the film (see Home of the Brave. A music video for the song "Language is a Virus", using footage from the film but the studio recording of the song, received wide airplay.

Musical selections included songs taken from Anderson's 1984 album, "Mister Heartbreak" (the film was shot during a tour in support of the album), as well as a couple of selections from her "United States" multimedia show of 1983 and several original pieces. Warner Brothers requested Anderson create a single-friendly release from the soundtrack, so she recorded a faster-tempo, "dance mix" version of the song "Smoke Rings". Ultimately, this recording was not released; however, it can be heard during the All-Night Diner sequence of her short film "What You Mean We?".

The first song performed by Anderson in the film is "Excellent Birds", a collaboration with Peter Gabriel from "Mister Heartbreak". Although Gabriel does not appear in this film and the song is not performed as a duet, "Home of the Brave" was released a few months after a second version with Anderson was released as "This Is the Picture (Excellent Birds)" on Gabriel's album, "So".
Gabriel had also provided vocals for "Gravity's Angel" on "Mister Heartbreak". Guitarist Adrian Belew sings the part more prominently in the film.

Soundtrack
The following pieces are performed in the film:
# Good Evening (instrumental)
# Zero and One (spoken word)
# Excellent Birds
# Old Hat (spoken word)
# Drum Dance (instrumental)
# Smoke Rings
# Late Show (instrumental with vocal sample by William S. Burroughs)
# White Lily (spoken word)
# Sharkey's Day
# How to Write (instrumental with spoken word introduction by Won-sang Park)
# Kokoku
# Radar (instrumental with wordless vocalizations by Anderson)
# Gravity's Angel
# Langue D'Amour
# Talk Normal
# Difficult Listening Hour (spoken word)
# Language is a Virus
# Sharkey's Night
# Credit Racket (instrumental)

Only "Late Show", "White Lily", "Radar" and "Sharkey's Night" appear on the soundtrack album as they are performed in the film. Studio versions of "Smoke Rings", "Language is a Virus" and "Talk Normal" are used on the album, as is "Credit Racket" which is also a studio track, played over the closing credits in the film. None of the other performances in this film have to date been released in audio format.

In addition to the above, William Burroughs also performs two brief excerpts from "Sharkey's Night", the song he performs on Anderson's album "Mr. Heartbreak." In the film, Anderson performs the complete song herself at the end of the movie.
