Great double bill. Wilson's portion is entertaining and illuminating. Ferlinghetti sings two songs with Stephen Taylor to great effect- he has a great voice and Taylor's guitar playing is very well suited. His poems are great too and benefit from his reading of them. Highly recommended!

0-24:20: Wilson's lecture on the resurgence of Shamanism, mostly Chinese.

24:20: Anne Waldman introduces Ferlinghetti
29:30: Ferlinghetti
1. Greedy Blues
2. Breeding Blues
Reads more of his poems, some from Far Rockaway of the Heart.

Ferlinghetti's performance is sweetly dedicated to Allen Ginsberg
