The last, latest?, live apperance of Brian Eno was where? >Sorry 801 Live September 1976 in incorrect. With The Passengers in Saravejo >in my book. Sorry, STILL incorrect. Brian Eno played live last month (on 13th October at 19.30 in the Volcan del Cuervo) in Lanzarote. "It was fantastic! The whole thing took place in a volcano (extinct, at least during the concert). You had to leave your car on the nearby road, and climb into a bus which carried you a few hundred meters through deeply fissured lava fields. Through a wide gap in the crater wall you reached a plain ground covered with black gravel. In the center they had installed their gear, only separated from the audience (1700 people) by a knee-high fence. The audience space was surrounded by a number of speakers. Everybody was sitting on the ground (you were given a cushion plus a paper bag for your rubbish plus a small cardboard ashtray when entering the crater).The whole area was very sparingly lit, just a few spotlights illuminating the crater walls, plus a number of white cones lit from inside that were distributed all over the audience space. The "stage" itself had no illumination at all, except for two small reading lamps and a ufo-like standard lamp.Eno's workplace had his good old DX-7, another (master?) keyboard, two Kaoss Pads, and a number of FX devices. Schwalm had set up a Prophet VX, a Nord Lead synthesizer, also a Kaoss Pad, plus some smaller devices that I could not identify.The concert consisted of 3 parts, totalling circa 75 - 80 minutes. They used a number of pre-recorded sounds / themes / tracks from CDs, to which they added sounds / themes live.Naturally, they made extensive use of the possibilities given by the special location/setup of the speakers. Thus you were surrounded by sounds moving around, or jumping from one corner to another.Most of the material featured the human voice extensively. For instance, the first minutes of part 1 consisted of a looped phrase whispered by a woman's voice. Copies of this loop were gradually added, thus forming a rhythmic structure that was then taken as the base for improvising.Several times Eno added (processed) live vocals. Familiar elements during the concert included a section of a track from The Shutov Assembly (possibly "Ikebukuro"), and spoken words from Future Light Lounge Proposal ("... imagine a bowl of animal fat ...").The concert ended with a BEAUTIFUL melodic and rhythmic theme (unfamiliar to these ears) that perfectly "resolved" all the tension that had been built up during the evening.A unique experience - despite the fact that it got rather chilly in the volcano!"

Perhaps that is why of all living British artists he is the one whose work gets the richest showing in the opening displays at Tate Modern.... Perhaps his strangest work at Tate Modern is Marcel Duchamp's The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even (1915-23) - or rather, the reproduction that Hamilton made of it in 1966, and that Duchamp signed." Duchamp made the original "Large Glass", Hamilton reproduced it, Duchamp signed it... then Bryan Ferry made the album!

Grant was correctly referring to M Chambers as a porn star... the famous lady who became particularly famous for appearing on the front of the Ivory Snow washing powder box before going on to hard core movies. M Cole is the Stranded cover model, and if memory serves she was reportedly the first model to show her pubic hair in Playboy. Whether or not that qualifies as "porn" depends on your point of view, I suppose (no pun intended). Is it Cole or Chambers whom you have seen on the Playboy cover, Han?

I understand that Van Morrison wrote Crazy Love, i e it is not a cover version for him. As for Richard Hamilton, it was the answer last time around, but then Marcel Duchamp came up. I like doing these things, because it is educational even for the one puyying the questions. I end with what might be an apocrypital piece of trivia: Q. What happened when Ferry met Ann and Nancy Wilson of the Fabled Rock Group Heart? A. How is your brother Brian?

Diamond Head pre-dates the 801 concept. Listen Now, K-Scope and Prim Gits (as we like to call it) were PM solo albums. 801 Live was a corporate effort to which all 6 members equally contributed and were, as a result, equally rewarded. Listen Now only had the '801' tag given to it when we went on tour in 1977. K-Scope wasn't toured (though a track that went on it was played on the 77 tour). Prim Gits is effectively just PM. The 801 tag (as PM later applied it to 801 Latino) was to cover live performances of ad hoc bands.

Marilyn Cole was a London Playboy bunny who was the Playmate of the Month sometime early to mid-70's (maybe even playmate of the year?). I've got the centerfold stored away in my box of Roxy/Ferry clippings - maybe I should dig it out. Most recently she ran a business selling/designing swim wear.

It is essentially the same as Elvis's arrangement without Elvis's little hiccup. My wife observed that he sounded like he had a cold when he recorded the song. McCartney's "That's All Right" is very strong. Elton sounds alot like Jerry Lee lewis and obviously he knows his way around a keyboard. A few photos would of been nice...Also, a little info on some of the more obscure songs couldn't of been that hard for the producers to drudge up. I don't know if the artists are doing a Jerry Lee or a Johnny Cash or a Carl Perkins tribute on some of the tracks. I see some real laziness in this production. Now again I'm ready for some Ferry original songs. It has only Been 7 1/2 years. Running out of time. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Nov 2001 10:10:32 -0500 From: KB Porter Subject: Re: [AVALON] Re: Trivia Dear Daniel: Thank you for the 60 questions, gee all that thinking made my head hurt! You win, hands down, for all the work you put into this 'trivial' adventure. Does anyone have an idea why Manifesto's lyrics were not commented upon publicly? I've always thought the lyrics were interesting and refreshing, they paint such a vivid picture in my mind. Wasn't England in a social commentary state of mind, musically, when Manifesto first came out? Did Manifesto chart? Best wishes.
