I was impressed that a musical about emancipation could ironically create an enslaved state for performers and audience members.

That's interesting, judging by their website I had assumed that the tour was winding down, it's in Paris in Jan too. I am so tempted.

Watching it but hope someone is capturing it so I can watch it at my leisure later. So good.

Holy crap!!
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:54 (twelve years ago)
bizarre to watch it with quick cuts & close-ups. initially seems to go against the grain of the whole experience but the longer you watch, the deeper it sinks
hope this comes out
― Milton Parker, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 19:01 (twelve years ago)
Oh I hope so

*phew*
Q - Will "Einstein" live on without you and Bob?
A - Part of the idea was to set a performance standard for the piece, and now the whole thing has been filmed -- this production. We had felt that would have to be done in order to present the piece in the future. So now, in principle, I think it can be done.

XP - On this tour you mean? Yes, possibly not on others
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:29 (twelve years ago)
They do seem to be cracking through it at a fair old pace though, the site says durée 3'20" which is odd, when I saw it it was at least four hours long.
― my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)
What's killing me is how it's the same people now who have been touring this for what, nearly 2 years? What does their head sound like when they go to bed at night, that poor kid.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)
It's already been on for close to 3 hours

I wonder how his skateboarding skills are coming along! When I saw the NY show I kinda laughed because he seemed unsteady. I'd imagine after X amount of performances he'd be doing ollie's off the stage by now.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 00:56 (twelve years ago)
Anyone got a link to a download of this? Would rather not stream it...

Wonder if this will actually be any good (the 1968 recording, not the fucking didgeridoo thing)

I actually really want to hear the fucking didgeridoo thing, but only out of morbid curiosity.
― mirostones, Monday, 17 February 2014 17:40 (twelve years ago)
Attempted to listen to the fucking didgeridoo thing on Youtube. Interminable. Your suspicions were correct.

Glass up until Einstein <<<<<<<<<< Glass from Einstein through the Dance pieces >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Glass ever since. the only outliers are Music For Twelve Musicians and the Candyman soundtrack, both of which kick much ass.
