Short segment featuring Larry Fischer performing on the street in L.A. sometime in the early 1980's.

From Videowest, a show that used to air on channel 9 in San Francisco in the early 1980's. This was a great show that provided exposure for "alternative" or unknown artists (music and other forms), who otherwise probably wouldn't have gotten it in the days long before the internet.

Even so, this particular segment is still not unlike the typical exposure for Larry in mainstream media -- treated as a novelty or curiosity at best, approaching borderline ridicule at times. Here he is, strangely, incorporated into an odd sort of sneer at L.A.

Any minor quibbles I have with his treatment in this segment aside, at least he got some exposure -- eternally grateful to the Videowest folks for that. Larry appears to be in good form in these performances. I have to wonder if there's any chance that by some miracle the original video tapes of these performances in their entirety might be laying around somewhere. That would be something I'd love to see.

This is taken from a tape-to-tape copy made on ordinary home VCRs way back in the early 80's, which then sat on a shelf for almost 25 years and was recently rescued, so that explains the technical quality (or lack thereof).

I do wonder if things might have been different for Larry if the abundance of digital media equipment and exposure outlets that exist today had existed 30 years ago.

Rather depressing view of how war affects everyone. Warning, rather graphic. They Might Be Giants perform a song by Phil Ochs.
