"Sharkey's Day", "Excellent Birds" just take over your conciousness and transport you elsewhere. In my Tower days I would play "United States Live" from start to finish, no one ever complained. "Everyone wants to be #1, but no one wants to be #0".
I saw Phillip Glass do a live performance of "Beauty and the Beast" and it was pretty awesome, but I never wanted to meet him.
So I think it's set, DM's close friendship with Laurie Anderson will result in a nice breakfast with me and her discussing how pop music can combine with art to touch a common chord in the general populace.
I always liked this one from "Home of the Brave". The visuals with the giant drum sticks and the rubber neck guitar were great. I don't think it's on any album other than later anthologies:
