please please

is their someone who have live recordings of David Sylvian live in 1988. (80days tour)

I bumped into David about a week ago in a computer store in the Boston area. Remarkably, he remembered our first and only meeting two years prior. He actually remembered what we talked about (my photography, his brother Steve's fabulous drumming). What a gracious and humble artist. Love him.

You were so lucky.. I'd be so intrigued to know what fellow artists have/do influence him to make such amazing and unique music.. I guess Ryuichi Sakamoto must have started him off exploring more avant-garde sounds??

Ciao Daniele,

purtroppo non è facilissimo trovare materiale di Sylvian. Io comunque sto sempre all'erta essendo uno dei miei artisti preferiti.
