Fucking genius, seeing The Michael Nyman Band play live is something every music fan should experience. The only show that my wife has ever been brought to tears by- and she is one cold bitch.

Does anyone know where this took place?

@CptSchmidt i'm afraid it does. and as for bernstein, more people have heard his music and performed his writing than have seen him conduct, so... now, as for leaving my bias at the door. don't sweat it. i would never, ever bring this junk up with my students. there are far too many amazing geniuses to teach as great examples. I bring this guy up in a lesson as often as i bring up kenny g in a jazz lesson. (never) to make things clear, i don't dislike all of his work, but this one, i dislike.

@rhumbaphone According to your website you are a "music educator". I sure hope that you do not "teach" according to your own biases. This is not "crap". An educator would be able to appreciate this for what it is and would not be so quick to judge or call people a "douche" for liking something they don't. I don't like Baroque, but that doesn't mean I think it's crap or that people who DO like it are douches... What a closed, crass and bigoted guy you must be.

@rhumbaphone You are a fool. To take music lessons does not make you any more qualified to appreciate music than a layman. To compare Bernstein to the great composers is foolishness - he was known for his conducting more than he was for his compositions. Because you think this is "crap" does not mean that it is. Nyman has been doing this his entire life and he would not say it is "crap".

@SpiritOfSolace Ah! This is indeed good to hear. The sound is pretty good for mono, and the letterboxing never bothered me, it was only the abrupt edit at the end that kind of flattened it. We all look forward to seeing MORE!

I hope so!!

Man oh man... this is my all-time favourite piece of music, the best live thing I've ever seen. This is a rare piece of footage indeed - it doesn't exist on DVD; not this exact performance anyway. Any chance you could could re-record this in a higher resolution, WITH the applause? Huh? Please?

@Grigor437 That's actually on my list of things to do, hopefully when I have some spare time later in the summer. It would certainly be nice to do a copy without the letterboxing and in stereo, which couldn't be done at the time of the original uploads.
