Summary: 

I sat in the first row of the balcony at BAM for the Penguin Cafe, and they
were *marvelous*. It was especially interesting to see Steve Nye (whose
production for Japan and XTC I personally like very much) performing with
them.

When it was over, we hooked up with my Vietnamese pals and went to Chinatown.
When I got back to the place we were staying, someone told me that the 9:00 PM
performance for the 7 Dec was broadcast live over the radio. Perhaps someone
here on the USENET taped it and would be willing to share a copy.

The performance itself was a nice mix of all three of their studio recordings,
with predictable emphasis on Broadcasting From Home, their last (on EG).

If you are lucky, you can pick up the first two penguin Cafe's in the cutout
bin. EG has been dumping a major part of their catalog of late (time to get
a fresher copy of Discrete Music to replace the scratched up one), and the
PC is no exception.
