I managed to catch this one on TV entirely by accident. Bjork performs with a full orchestra, a choir from Greenland and her usual techno band. As watching full-on spectacles that is all too typical with concerts (ala Cher, Janet, etc.), Bjork returns to the concert experience that beautifies her music rather than distracting from it. Watching her actually sing her music (instead of lipsync in her videos) with the full complement of musicians like she did in the studio absolutely put goosebumps on the back of my neck. Instead of massive choreography, pyrotechnics and high wire acts, Bjork concentrates on her music and elevates to a level I've never heard before. If you're a Bjork fan, you absolutely must see this concert! If you're not a fan, watch it and you'll be come one.
