  • excellent clip.

  • Great video, thanks for sharing!

  • Back in the eighties he went on tour with Laurie Anderson an Brian Gorno.

    Brian Giorno was reading his poems through this echo device.

    In this video, bougrroughs seems to have borrouwed the echo machine.

    I don't realy think it suited him. I prefered when he read straight, like he did in San Francisco. But what can one do?

    The videos that survive are the videos that survive.

  • it was the ritzy cinema, not the academy.

  • i was there for all of the four nights, he read a lot from cities of the red night, and at that time the unpublished place of dead roads.

  • Dread white teeth in a shadow glow, gleam wicked phosphate triggers at ejacular causeways. I dreamed i was in a car with Bill last night, we put a whole cigarette in his cheek like it was a snuff pouch, drove down a tunnel cliff, caused me nearly to faint

  • Many thanks.

    You don't know where Bill lived in London in the sixties by any chance?...

  • not sure to be honest, definitely before 1986. I think this is footage from "The Final Academy" UK tour in 1982.

  • What year would this have been?
