I can't tell which app she's using. Is that Logic Remote?

Laurie Anderson rules.

Not sure about the app, but it looks like a first gen iPad. Also, an Akai LPK-25, Korg MicroKEY37 and an NS Design violin. I found another pic where you can see she has a MacBook on the ground.

That violin is actually her own invention, called the tape-bow violin. Per wikipedia:

"In 1977, she created a tape-bow violin that uses recorded magnetic tape on the bow instead of horsehair and a magnetic tape head in the bridge."

One of the cooler instrument inventions.

My first was the Mr. Heartbreak tour, from 1984. Still wear the t-shirt (only on special occasions, though, because it it really is too small).

That's cool and everything, but the one she was playing at this particular event was most definitely one of Ned Steinberger's creations.

She winked at me (with them dimples and that twinkle in her eye) in the basement of Annie Mae Swift, (RTVF building) on her way to do a show on WNUR, 1981, made me feel like, oh...Superman. Still wear the wink (inside)
