Amazing show, but waaaaaaay to short! She was onstage for about 70 minutes. To the music, I though everything from Medula was horrible, and i thought most tunes from the new album were hit or miss... Some new songs i hated (Earth invaders, Declare independence), but i really enjoyed "Dull flame of Desire" with Antony, which I really loved, my fav song of the new record. I also enjoyed "I see who you are" which is another highlight to me. Yoga was perhaps my favorite song of the night, although Venus as A Boy was great all stripped down.
It did sounds like they lost the beat a few times, a friend said it sounded like a DJ trainwrecking. I know the keyboard player was off time at least twice which surprised me. Also, to me the horn section was a bunch of amatures, they sounded bad. Musically i enjoyed the horn section, but their tone was horrible. Oh and should be illegal to encore with 2 new songs! Thats crazy! I think artists should reward the audience with something they know and enjoy, i would have liked to hear "Unravel", "Cocoon", or "human behavior" at the end.
All in all, great show, Bjork is amazing. Her voice, presence, and passion is inspiring. Although i paid over a dollar a minute (which is insane), this show was worth it and more.
The Opener Konono #1 was fantastic. Really fresh to my ears, something i've never heard before, amazing grooves. I will be checking these guys out for sure.
