Was Doug Yule a more conventional player than John Cale? Yes, but even Jimi Hendrix was a more conventional player than Cale - pick anyone in rock music - who wasn’t a more conventional player than Cale."Jonathan Richman

John Cale setlists 1999
London 1999-04-27
Third night of the four nights of readings at London's ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts), UK as part of the mixed-media event Dead Agents - April 27, 1999.
It included live footage of the John Cale Trio in Prague, an exhibition of b&w photos taken by Eve Vermandel, readings by Cale from his autobiography What's Welsh For Zen, a collaboration with American DJ Adam Dorn, and readings of selected lyrics from his back catalogue.
The new piece Dead Agents is based on the book Between Silk and Cyanide by former Special Operations Executive (SOE) Leo Marks. Astrid Williamson handled the backing vocals for Dead Agents. Each night ended with the screening of a film, in this case the Words For The Dying documentary.
