Excerpts
“A lot of time has passed since his first film, 'The Harder They Come,' and Jimmy Cliff has lost some of his momentum, which boosted him into stardom. But his show tonight, featuring his early hits, seemed to be just what the audience needed and wanted.”
Jimmy Cliff, concert report, page 9
“From the worst kind of dyed-hair-and-leather poseurs to preppy looking tourists, The Downliner attracts them all. Add to that a few bikers, bartenders, and nondescript others and you have a pretty interesting crowd, if a bit obnoxious.”
The Morrells, concert report, page 19
“Although she only played fragments of her seven-hour piece 'United States' she pushed, pulled, and wooed her audience with a variety of electronic sounds and physical images.”
Laurie Anderson, concert report, page 27
