Lydia Lunch - 1989 September 20 - Powerhaus, Islington, London, UK

This is one of Lydia's spoken word shows. The track titles are my own creation. The "Conspiracy of Women" CD (not the same show as this by the way, that's from Berlin 12th April 1990) has no track titles so that's no help. I also discovered there's an official VHS video release of her 2nd C.O.W. show (in Los Angeles, Feb'90). I've no other information on it and haven't seen it so I've no idea if that gives any track titles.

This is the first "Conspiracy Of Women" show, and the only one in 1989.

According to http://www.fromthearchives.com/ll/chronology10.html (a very good Lydia Lunch resource) some of the other women on stage are Marcia Schofield [The Fall], Jessamy Calkin, Pat and Liz Naylor [Blast! First's press agents].

Hecklers are dealt with in Lydia's inimitable style and there's even some violence! This show is amazing to watch. Wow, some of the audience really seem to hate her. Why did they go? Surely they knew what to expect. I'd love to see one of her spoken word shows, to be in the front row & experience her at full force would be an absolute joy!

There's a slight dropout at 16.35 (I played that part more than once to make sure it wasn't just dirt on my tape.)

Her C.O.W. show in Amsterdam on 18 April 1990 was broadcast on Dutch radio on 22 April 1990. Maybe someone has it and can upload?

I also found a 10 min extract from a performance that was shown on "Off Beat", German TV. It's on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kujnl4Dys7s ) listed as 1989 but April 1990 seems more likely as this was when she did some performances in Germany.
Bonus interview

"Transmission", Super Channel, 1989

08. Interview

Length - 6:05

The interview included clips from the 1985 film "The Right Side Of My Brain" (which I've removed), so broadcast date may possibly be a year or two earlier.

When I watched the interview on my pc (by playing the vob file in media player classic) the audio went out of sync when it got to the first edit, but it plays fine in windows media player (and most likely other media players) and plays properly when you burn the DVD and play it on a dvd player.
