I was there back in 1987 for the world premiere, one year before I was to meet Cale in person and have him pose for my double-portrait (www.ritchardrodriguez.com/4-portraits.html#Anchor-47857). I've waited all these years for what I consider to be the definitive version of The Falklands Suite, before Brian Eno got a hold of it, and Cale would rearrange the entire thing, youth choir recorded in Wales, orchestra in Russia, Cale's vocals elsewhere. Nothing beats this live impeccable experience. THANK YOU FOR POSTING!
I have two elder brothers, so I was listening to strange music concerning my age( and still I do ;) ). This concert was two days before my 12th birthday and I was dying to see it -of course, my parents didn`t allow me to :( From the day I had the album, I took it with me to my hair stylist, because I wanted to have Cale`s haircut-I still do ;)))

The word maverick was invented for this man incredibly talented
no words. beautiful.
this looks and feels very 1987
But it sounds timeless
So great music... I'm looking for the scores of this... In particular Songs without words I and II....
