Fantastic show, esoecially for hardcore Bjork fans. The focus was on intense, pulsating electronic balladry and Bjork's powerful, emotive voice. The material was primarily less accessible but superb songs from "Homogenic," "Vespertine," et al, interspersed with the excellent new "Volta" material, opening with a chugging "Earth Intruders." Lots of colorful characters in the audience and plenty of flava, too! Classic dance hitmaker Bjork didn't appear until the final few numbers, with a smoking "Army of Me" and the always undeniable "Hyperballad," my all-time favorite and evidently loved by many in attendance. The accompaniment and backing choir were flawless and the final encore of the incendiary "Declare Independence" sent us out into the chilled night with a roar. We needed the extra energy to deal with the Shoreline's horrific parking lot and its lack of a cohesive way out. One day they will have as many people guiding you out of the lot as they do showing you where to park.
