Not the only "serious" live recording... edit
This statement: "United States Live remains, to date, the only serious attempt at producing anything approaching a full-length recording of any of these performances" completely ignores The Ugly One with the Jewels - a recording of a performance from her Stories From The Nerve Bible tour - and should be removed.

- Although this concern was voiced a number of years ago, since the statement is still in the article, I say it should continue to remain because "Ugly One with the Jewels" was a collection of excerpts, not a complete show. As of 2017, United States Live still remains the only official release of a more-or-less complete Laurie Anderson performance piece (unofficial recordings have circulated of her Moby Dick show and some others, but nothing officially released by one of her labels or authorized by Anderson). 136.159.160.5 (talk) 18:04, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
"Slightly truncated" edit
We say that the CD release was "slightly truncated". Is this true? I've looked it over and it looks to me like the CD has the same tracklist and running time as the LP, but I could be wrong. Anyway, if there's a difference we should specify exactly what it is, otherwise take that comment out.—Chowbok ☠ 15:59, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
- I agree. I have both formats and I notice no difference either. Since no one's responded to this query since August, I think it's safe to remove the statement. If someone can provide a source to support - or perhaps there is another CD edition that is truncated - the information can always be put back. 136.159.160.5 (talk) 18:05, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
