a little delayed, but anyway, the bjork concert in NYC last friday was the best concert i think i've ever been to. bjork is in top form performancewise and is putting on such an entertaining show. think "bjork pyrotechnics" is an oxymoron? i thought so too, but they were used to really beautiful effect during joga, pluto, and another track. also, since it was coney island, there were fireworks in the background; first before she went on stage, then during 3 songs much later (i believe she arranged these ones, they weren't the weekly fireworks that go off fridays in coney island). the icelandic string octet were great. i've seen it all is really good w/ no beats, all strings. very avant gard style. scatterheart was a rare treat as well. she also did the new song desired constellation. one of the best parts was a bunch of crazy techno, including pluto, the soft pink truth remix of it's in our hands, and a really frenetic version of hyperballad. she rocked out human behavior and it was over. basically, see bjork whenever, wherever you can, it's well worth it. i didn't get to go for free like i almost was able to, but i paid a lot less than face value for the best possible tickets and had a really great time. |

i saw her once, it was my best concert ever too :D Bjork live is such an experience! |
||||||||

|

matmos performed with her right? man... Id love to see this... tickets are sold out here though... :'( or where... it might have already happened. but the point is. I wish I could have seen it. guess ill settle for the live DVD... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
oh yeah, and thanks tits, for bugging me to listen to more bjork i like her more now :) |
||||||||

zeus i HIGHLY advise going to the venue anyway and scooping up tickets right before the concert starts, or during the opening act. you can buy them for much less than face value depending on how good a bargainer you are. for an even $80 i got 2 tickets that list for $65 each NOT counting ticketbastard fees. and i could've gotten them even cheaper than that too but sigur ros had already started (and bonnie prince billy had already finished :( ) and i wanted to get inside and enjoy the show. bjork on the m-i-c matmos on laptops, electronics, and mics zeena parkins on harp, accordian, and other live instruments icelandic string octet (no leila) no photos.. but bjork.com has some in the gigography |

I dislike bjork, shes over-rated..look at you all - rating her excessively. when will it end? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm ticketmaster doesnt have any bjork... and I see no links to where to buy tickets on her site... probably sold out... ...hmmm...might have to buy outside the venue... |

it was a great show here in seattle too. but sounds like the ny performance was better. either way, it was still in my top 10 best shows ever. |

Zues try tickets.com that's where I got mine. Although they're pricey it's worth it. I'm pumped for this show on Sunday and I just found out it's Labor day on Monday so the party will be in full swing. |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah I should really pay more attention to what day, month, year it is. It can really become a burden sometimes. |

I'm goin to see her at suffolk downs on the 31st. I'm so excited! I rarely ever go to concerts, especially for groups that I actually like. |

the word 'over-rated' is over-rated no it isn't, just over-used. |

GOD i seriously yearn to see her live i love her thanks for the review tits |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

awesome show, she played a lot of my favourites and one b side that i absolutely love... the venue was interesting....fireworks every friday on coney island through labor day(this from a local), that firework display happened before bjork came on.....then during the show, for several songs more fireworks fell from the sky, i'm sure bjork arrainged those ones tho....=0) it was hot, and sticky and it was a long time standing, but worth it!! her voice is beyond perfect.....if there is such a thing.....i couldn't believe how amazing she sounded, i'd love to see her again.....and hope i get another chance really soon. have fun xlr and child810 make sure and post a review from your show !!! |

XLR they moved the show just so you know, to the Fleet Pavillion. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Who knows what they'll do about the seating, first come first serve would be utter madness. |
||||||||
|

child810 thanks for letting me know. |

i really wanted to goto this performance but was out of town.. reading this makes me realize i shouldve went :( |

bjork sang everything perfectly and with so much energy and power. she's a masterful singer, on the real. and she's so entertaining to watch, bounding around the stage, and just making you really believe every word she's singing. and wow the songs are all so good live. the arrangements are all totally new for the concert but not so radical that you don't recognize the song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're welcome XLR. Man I just got back from getting booze for tomorrow. Considering the price of beer at these events I need to get a nice buzz on beforehand. I'm so pumped. I'm watching Live at the Royal Opera House right now, man oh man! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill be at the boston show too. from what i've heard, the fleet pavillion is a better place, though smaller than suffolk downs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That show sounds EXACTLY like the one i saw on Roskilde. Really good, fireworks and all. Second last track was pluto, and it fucking ruled my world for a couple of minutes! anyway, i was really spooked sometimes during the concert. But yeah, really good experience. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehheheh glad to hear Bjork used pyro's at other shows......it was NOT at all what i expected to see at a Bjork show. she played pluto at our show, but i think her live take of Human Behavior was most surprising....pyros and all how was the Boston show !?!??! |
||||||||

I was at the Boston show last night. It was marvelous. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs opened, and then she came on at around 9:30. She opened with hunter, then played a good mix of her classics and some new stuff. Joga, Pagan Poetry, 5 Years, Bachelorette, All is Full of Love, Isobel were all great. She had an awesome harp/keyboard player, and a 6-person string section, plus two guys on computers. There was a video screen that was used during some songs, and there was various strange imagery projected upon it. The finale, Pluto, was intense. Everyone really got into it. There was a lot more distortion on the final moments of the song. For an encore she played a track I didn't recognize, plus Human Behavior. Most people didn't seem to start dancing until the latter half of the concert, and by the end everyone was really getting into it. All in all, a fine performance by a very gifted and unique artist. I won't forget it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only drawback with my show was we didn't get videos because it was an outdoor concert(!) and the wind would've knocked over the screen i won't forget the show either!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So hot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, the show was amazing, probably the best concert ive been to (tied with sigur ros) the security people at the pavillion were assholes though, one of them came over right in the middle of the show and harrassed my friend for alleged possesion of a camera. that ruined my mood for a few songs. oh, and the two guys with computers were matmos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
She played some tracks i didnt recognice that where really distorted and spooky. Something from the new or what? i'm not THAT much into björk.... anybody else know anything about this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at our show seems like EVERYONE had a digital camera.....they didn't search too well. i tried to take a picture with my cell phone but it doesn't zoom and so it didn't come out too well. what i don't understand is people CALLING people and having a convo DURING the freakin' concert.....that drives me insane. i wanted to K/O a dood who was looking for his friends via CELL PHONE during the radiohead show.....how annoying is it to try to be listening to the music while some idiot is yelling behind you.....saying .....wave your hand.....while about 1000 people are waving hands and dancing around. ALMOST ruined my show!!! freakin idiots !! pardon me but it's getting ridiculous out there! |

these are the times we live in... |

|
|
true but people need to have common courtesy for others. i nearly smacked the shit out of that guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... but in all honesty... If I was in his position... Id do the same thing... if my friend was somewhere lost in the crowd... id want to find them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was being a total asshole. he could call to see where his friends are AFTER the concert is over, OR he could've walked away so no one had to hear him. seriously, it was complete silence until he made his phone call to see where his friends are out of pure curiosity. absolutely obnoxious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, well... if it was just for curiousity, then yeah, thats rude. I misunderstood... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more than rude, it ruined 2 songs for me and i paid $50 for my ticket. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you say anything? or anyone for that matter? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i said "shut the fuck up" in a fake megaphone voice and then i mocked him. i also caught myself about to slap him (lightly) across the arm or midsection without looking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know, the people with cell phones at concerts are rediculous.. i happened to look around and notice three people in my immediate vicinity talking on cell phones during joga. it was absurd. |
