the close - minded 'prick' has balls to have Cage on his show, he has to present this music that he thinks is fascinating to a live audience in a way that they can understand. The presenter knows the value of Cage's work but must frame it this way for it to be taken in by the audience.

This is genius - Cage maybe would have approved of the audience laughing as this is part of the indeterminacy of each individual performance, as is the inability to use the radios as intended. Much more fun than listening to Coldplay.

I don't think much of this, as music, but Cage seems like a charismatic guy! Also interesting performance.

this is basically industrial compesition (think most horror movies, or silent hill) before such a thing truley existed, this man was more genous than anyone at that time could have ever known

It's possible the jurisdictional union dispute actually improved this piece, at least visually.

I really thing that the audience honestly loved this.

How lucky we are to have this kinescope clip exist! I'm sure it is being watched again due to its mention in this week's New Yorker. I would have loved to hear what Henry Morgan thought of it; he being quite outspoken. I would also love to know how much of an appearance fee Mr Cage received. Probably less then $100.

@nyhyl Totally agree.
This comment has received too many negative votes show
this is so fucking sad there is nothing here with that open minded atittude there is music when I clean my ass this is art but is not music, is just art because most avant garde people make something stupid and others will say= wow man you are the best, I was curious for this guy and now I know he was a Thief and sucks.
