Fantastic.
The show started with Matmos and their experimental music, whose sounds
pheres made me get into trance. Then there was Björk on stage (the
audience welcomed her with applause louder than all the music that
night), sitting in a spotlight with an unamplified musicbox playing it
while shiny snowflakes slowly fell down glittering around her and she
appeared like a princess in a fairy tale. And what followed made me
almost unable to speak for the rest of the night: Silent songs, Björk
singing only supported by a harp, Gotham Lullaby as a prayer for
Manhattan with tears in the eyes of the audience, monster versions of
songs like Bachelorette and Isobel played with orchestra, choir and
Matmos and at last Human Behaviour and Our Hands that made the audience
get up and dance.
Thanks to everyone involved.

"...this is an alarm call, so wake up, wake up now...."
This was an evening I will never forget. I was not sure, if Björk would
go on stage because of the apocalyptic events in the United States. But
when she came, it was like a healing to the audiences wounded hearts.
She asked us to pray for the victims in NYC, and i could not stop
crying. This wonderful human being sang with all her soul against
terror, she made us believe in love again. It was an unreal atmosphere,
and I would like to thank everyone at the concert, that I was allowed to
share this experience with them.
Never give up. Peace.

Hello!
I was also in Stuttgart and it was great!
During the concert, I heard about the terrible things in the USA. Bjork
sang a prayer for the victims and people in the United States. In the
beginning of the concert I saw, that Bjork was a little bit sad. But
during the concert, she felt better and was dancing at the end. I think,
she was very very sad, but she wanted to forget it for a moment. Matmos
are very crazy people and it was really funny, how they made noise and
music. I was impressed and surprised. Just crazy. Bjork herself was just
as good as '95 (Munich) and '97 (Frankfurt). Hm, perhaps she was just a
little bit better this evening.. ;o) She was singing about 2 hours with
a short break between. It was really unforgetable. Just Bjork.

Hi there,
I've seen Björk live in Stuttgart yesterday-even though I thought the
show would have been cancelled. However, Björk performed and it was a
wonderful evening on a horrible day.
After 3-4 songs, Björk asked the audience if they speak English, and
then she just said "I think we're all a little upset because of
what's happened west from here on an island called Manhattan" Then
they played a song by an American woman called Meredith Bryce [Meredith
Monk // lunargirl] or so, about
Manhattan.
After all, the show was amazing, especially the final songs. My
favourite was "In Our Hands", a not yet released new song.
Keep going,
Sebastian Hoffmann

First of all I would like to thank all thI was there at stuttgart last
night I couldn't believe the atmosphere, I'm almolst crying as I write.
she didn't say much during the concert, at the "Manhattan"
song she said "We're all a little bit upset about what happened
today at the island I've been calling home and we'd like to play this
song as a prayer" (something like that). I almolst fainted when I
got home.
the concert was very, very good

My highest respect for Bjork, the concert-hall was filled with her
emotion and sensuality. She performed the song "Gotham lullaby (?)"
for the Island Manhatten. A day and a concert I will never forget. Thank
you thousand times for your help, Björk.

the concert was very, very good
Lide
performers on this great evening. I don't remember everything in details.
I'm shocked about what happened in Manhattan. But the concert w a s really great. We had
our seat in the second row so we had an extraordinarily good view onto
the stage and were able to see faces and everything else. I never saw a live performance of Björk
before and i was really stunned how much emotions and power she
transported with her songs. Everyone on the stage seemed to be
extremely joyful and happy to make this concert happen. Björk sang one song as a prayer for the
victims in the United States especially for those on Manhattan. Again I don't find any words for what we
expeerienced in Stuttgart.

I was at the Stuttgart show tonight and
Bjork said we should say a prayer for the people on the island west of here. and then she performed
Gotham Lullaby a song she said is about NYC. I'm in the US Army stationed in Germany and we are on
a high alert but this is only a precaution to protect ourselves not anything more.
sincerely
Randy
