I love this DVD!
It opens with the Icelandic Octet tuning their instruments, and they play a small classical tune. Then you can see Bjork enter at the right, the audience erupts but she stands off to the side listening to them play---
She's barefoot, and wearing a cute little angel dress and has her forehead painted white :-) She dances around throughout the whole concert---and off to the side it looks like she has two glasses of what appears to be red wine and white wine?
Her first tune is Hunter, it's a wonderful rendition--she sings "I'm the hunter...you just didn't know me!...you just didn't know me.." lyrics that are on the booklet with the Homegenic album, but aren't sung on the cd..
Her next song "Come To Me" gets a poignantly beautiful introduction by the octet--I wish it was on the Debut cd..or some cd..
-All Neon Like--I wish THIS version was on the original album--it's gorgeous--she sings "..don't be angry with yourself..sweet heart" :-)
She sings You've Been Flirting in Icelandic:-) ---
Isobel is next with Immature---where at the end she sings- "How could I be so Immature, to think he could replace, the missing elements in me??--silly girl.. silly girl.." :-)
Next is Play Dead--I was happy it was included!! --and it's sung beautifully
Then Alarm Call, but she doesn't do the "beeps" for the clock :-I---she sings " It doesn't scare me at all..no! " and the audience laughs and applauds
Human Behavior she obviously has fun singing-- she cries out-- "They're TERRIBLY TERRIBLY moody!! " but then smiles coyly "but oh to get involved in the exchange---is ever so, ever so satisfying"--afterwards she mimics smashing a guitar against the stage! :-)
After that Bachlorette and Hyper Ballad---Pluto is really exciting they get the lights flashing behind Bjork ---and with the final notes, she does this little head-banging dance!-
After Pluto she appears to leave the stage together with the Icelandic Octet and Mark Bell--but the audience won't stop! So she comes back out and sings The Anchor Song first in Icelandic then in English---And to finish she sings Joga
She closes--
Introducing the "Extraordinary Icelandic string Octet" & "The FANTABULOUS Mark Bell" and bows
I was a little bit disappointed Unravel, 5 years or All Is Full Of Love--wasn't listed in the line-up--but I was very happy :-) after viewing
Bjork is UNPARALLELED and absolutely charming...
