All I could find is a documentary - http://www.filmlinc.com/films/on-sale/preserving-a-legacy-einstein-on-the-beach

*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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Originally it was a collaboration with Steve Reich called Music for 30 Musicians but they got into a big fight and everybody took sides.
