I'm quite sure I saw a review of the concert on gaffa quite some time ago,
but let me just sum up some salient points in case even one person is
discouraged by the previous post.  Her show is _long_, long enough for an
intermission.  But it doesn't drag on.  It's also _media-enriched_, with
6 still-frame screens, and three movie screens.  Thirdly, it's _extremely
good_, as are all Laurie Anderson shows.  Witty banter, social observations,
excellent music.  And the omnipresent vocoder.  Go.  Now.  Even if you've
seen every monologue 20 times on every channel at once.
