Two songs, including "Let My People Go." Bad video on my VHS tape has been replaced with still frames. The audio is intact. Since "Night Music" is almost twenty years old, no longer on the air, unavailable on DVD or VHS, and only partially excerpted in this segment, I believe it falls under "fair use." Specifically, "the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work." If the copyright owner makes this show available on VHS or DVD, then I will remove this video from YouTube without complaint.

Jul 24, 2008 - She looks so formidable and scary, but I saw an interview with her recently and she was a very warm person. Highly intelligent, humorous, very open and honest. I don't think a lot of artists really live out their stage persona.

Jul 26, 2008 - Holy...! Never knew she appeared on Night Music! I remember she appeared w/ John Paul Jones on John Stewart's old nighttime talk show.

Jul 28, 2008 - I was lucky to be in the audience when this show was done. It was the first time I had heard Diamanda and it almost scared me. Also on this show (if I remember correctly) were Sonic Youth, Indigo Girls and Evan Lurie. during a great deal of the show, Daniel Lanois sat directly behind in the bleacher seating. It was an interesting night and a great way to end a week in NY for the AES Show.

Sep 10, 2008 - I think her attitude toward idiots probably would keep her away from reacting on their comments.

Oct 18, 2008 - Que no te de lastima... Es mejor que halla gente mediocre y patetica en este mundo sino todos no podrian ser interesantes, inteligentes y profundos. Creo que es mejor asi, mas misterio para nosotros que se jodan los retrasados. No entenderan jamas el significado de el universo ni de la oscuridad real de alma. Todos no pueden entender. Es mejor asi yo creo.

Oct 19, 2008 - como diría el chavo del 8: ESSO, ESSO, ESSO!... jaja... totalmente querido!, más para nosotros... tiene que existir el contrario para que exista el complementario :)... como la luna y el sol... sólo que en este caso no tendría problemas de ser el sol o la luna...pero no me agradaría tener que elegir entre abierta y mediocre :S... gracias a dios ya elegi hace rato! :P jaja... Gracias por responder :) abrazo en luz!

Nov 8, 2008 - This is quite a hair raising performance. I saw this and Diamanda with John Paul Jones on the John Stewart show when they originally aired. Talk about hair raising! Check out that video also. It's truly alarming. These videos are really good seen back to back. Unforgettable stuff.
