have you ever seen teenage riot as a set ender, or nyc ghost and flowers, or the ultra famous Hallucinogenic preserve's the diamond sea?
seeing thurston screaming rolling on the floor while almost swallowing a mic and lee jumping on a little amp with sorta tibetan bells ringing hanging from his hands while smiling and waving at the audience isn't much of a "return to the song"....Maybe this is not the "standard definition of experimental" (which is, imho, a contraddiction in itself), but it sure isn't that predictable, unless you think saying "oh, now they'll do something strange with that thing" lessens the impact of their actions, but this could be applied to any kind of music.
All of this has nothing to do with laurie anderson, just my take on sy live.
