Philip Glass Ensemble "Train/Spaceship" part 2

Philip Glass Ensemble perform "Train/Spaceship" (part 2) live at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London in 1982. From a VHS only release called Four American Composers: Philip Glass by Peter Greenaway. I also want to take this opportunity to plug my band the D. Sticker Ensemble, so go visit our new website http://www.stickersongs.com/ and hear samples from our new album "Seasons of Sticker". It's available to purchase on-line.

i'm sorry, but this is garbage.

I guess on your quest to "go find your own awesome" you will encounter garbage along the way and feel the need to tell others that the awesome they found is garbage. Thanks for the insightful and productive critique.

this video is pretty fu*king dank!! the repetition at first i loathed i mean i thought it was "f"ing stupid i mean a real pretentious waste of time however the more i listened to it i realized just how much i loved it because i couldn't stop thinking about it i would wake up in the middle of the night thinking about this ridiculous music. rock over wells theatre london rock on chicago kodak see what develops

I had the opportunity to see the full Einstein on the Beach performance at U. of Michigan last week. It was quite a spectacle. The audience was worn out by the experience!

That sure was a pretentious way to say "people think their personal opinions are fact".

I am still trying to figure out the math on this!

It's pretty amazing to watch them perform, but this is probably my least favorite Glass piece. It feels just as mechanical and static as his music is often accused of being (but really isn't most of the time).

i love that MASSIVE high note the vocalist hits at 6:01, it's fun to just watch her hit it

@mrsticker2 Now, now children, be nice. Everyone's allowed to voice their opinions: freedom of speech, people. :)

Chord transitions at 0:53 are amazing! Wow, Mr. Glass! Bravo!!! You rock, sir!

[governmentflu81]

brilliant!

from 2:10 "HAND!!! wow the Addams family!!" (anyway wonderful piece.. good job Phil!)

It's interesting, in it's way, that when someone can't conceive beauty in a particular musical space they interpret that as beauty being impossible in that space, rather than being able to recognize it as their own conceptual predisposition.
