so, i saw her at the radio city, then at the united, then at the apollo, and now at the garden. i must say the show at the garden was the best! her voice was perfect (more so than before). 'unravel' gave me the goosebumps! 'i miss you' was a great UH-MAAAAY-ZING!! the energy was ridiculous. she was more chatty with the crowd. danced her a** off. the confetti and other stuff was nice to see. they finally got rid of that white screen with screensaver-like lasers. overall, the show is more polished than back in may. it's a shame that there were no cameras around filming the show. this would've been the PERFECT volta tour dvd... thank you for an outstanding show!

Another fantastic show.

Min Xiao-Fen and Antony were guests and made the night all the better.

One thing that is dependable with her, her shows are so unique and even unique within the tour to some extent. It was true at MSG. There were slight variations that only she could pull off.

I think the length and quality of the Hyperballad sing along was outstanding. She had her hand to her ear to ask to her louder singing and she certainly got it. The crowd saw that and then the energy flowed. She took over and soared. By the time the show was over she had the place pumping with the beat of DI.

She hates to be called cute. She can list so many things for which she is _Skilled._ Producer, composer, singer, musician, etc. I think she should also consider adding another skill: Master of Concerts.

so this is the third time that i've seen bjork perform and it was absolutely amazing! first of all being in general admission was the best decision ever because i was so close to the stage that i could see the muscles in her neck working as she sang, it was incredible... i saw her in san francisco earlier this year and even though the set list was almost exactly the same, the show was so different... she seemed much more into it than in cali, the set was a bit different as were the wonderbrass girls costumes... she seemed very happy and her vocals really showed it... every song was obviously wonderful, every time i've seen her she has played unravel and i just can't take it so i break into tears... joga, pagan poetry, tpiam and desired constellation were so beautiful, hearing her sing with antony and min xaio blew me away just gorgeous, and the rest was a whole lot of ass shaking goodness! she was so cute singing cover me, making faces through the whole show and really enjoying the audience. army of me was really brilliant and the hyperballad/pluto break is always undeniable! for the encore when she was singing to the girls during oceania all i could think of was "what a perfect snowglobe" it was so adorable and finishing with declare independence is obviously the signature of the tour. in the end, i couldn't have wished for a better performance from her. i love you bjork! your music moves me and has changed my life. thank you so much for being true!

Thanks for the streamers you threw out to us. I will keep them forever. Bjork and all the artists gave 150%. What a wonderful show. Please do me one favor. Help Santogold get a CD out, they sounded great and were really confident on stage. Wow, what a night I'll never forget ...................... ...................... ...................... ......................

All I can say is that,her set-list kicked major ass and as usual,she was nothing short of just plain,"AMAZING "! It was so cool,during "Hunter",she opened her fists and shot these "spider-web" looking stuff at us. Her voice was unbelievable and her band rocked so hard! "Hyper-Ballad",was so,so hype!!! She also brought back a lot of older tunes too,which she performed better than ever! She even spoke more than I'm used to!!! She had a great connection with us(the audience)! What I thought was awesome is that she had us sing the first lyrics to,"Hyper-Ballad"! The sound was excellent! It doesn't hurt either how hot she is!(LOL!) The songs from,"VOLTA" sound even better live and the "Medúlla" were just AWESOME!!! To all of the Brazilian fans:YOU'LL SEE!!!

the show was fantastic. I got to stand way up front in the pit, and the energy Bjork and the band gave off was palpable and exciting. The setlist was great; they performed some of my favorites, including "Unravel," "I Miss You," "Joga," and "Desired Constellation," which they didn't perform at the United Palace gig, which I went to also. The show also included a lot of the visual effects that weren't at UP, including the silk thread shooter, the flames, and lots of confetti. It was an amazing night, with an amazing atmosphere, and the openers were great, especially SANTOGOLD, whose music is this great mix of urban and 80's new wave. Great stuff.

At last I've gone to my 2nd bjork concert this year, this time at MSG. One word: AMAZING! Other words: BREATHTAKING, EXCITING, ENERGETIC, STUNNING! I went to see her at Radio City in May, and i have to say that this concert tops is 1000% better than that! She was more energetic and lively, talked with the audience (despite the fact that she's just the shyest little thing when she speaks), smiled and danced, showing that the night was for her love and adoration to the fans! The performance itself was also 1000% better than Radio City! Her entrance is always explosive and ecstatic...during Homogenic she let out the spider web string at the audience...during Innocence and Declare Independence there was a shower of confetti...seeing her dance and do lots of body and hand movements while singing her heartful songs just brought tears to my eyes...the highlight of the whole concert to me was when she sang Hyperballad/Pluto (i loved how she let the audience sing along acapella), had the Wonder Brass girls stand around her in a circle while performing Oceania (and the lovely bjork bowing and dancing in front of each girl, just adorable), at the end of Declare Independence, she shouted "raise your flag!" and the audience replied "higher! higher!"...and it was a lovely surprise to have her sing Desired Constellation (breathtaking!!!), Cover Me, and Unravel...and it was nice seeing Min and Anthony again as well! Overall, it was an unforgettable night!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU BJORK!

Being my first Bjork show (and first concert ever at MSG) this was an especially great show for me, as I'm sure it was for the entire audience. Her vocal quality was so superb, especially during Desired Constellation and Wanderlust. She was totally focused on the music and she was really enjoying herself. In the beginning, I think during Hunter, she shot out the silk webs from her hands which was great! I only wish I had been in the GA Pit so I could have gotten one!

The Volta songs sound so much better live than on the album; I See Who You Are was drastically improved for this show, it turned out to be a real crowd-pleaser! Antony was great on DFOD, it really was 'diva duet'!

As for the Army of Me/Hyperballad/Pluto/DI part, it was so much more than I expected. The beats were unbelievable and her voice was even more so. I was dancing the whole time, just headbanging like crazy and waving my arms and screaming "HIGHER, HIGHER!!!" She even let the crowd sing for a while on Hyperballad!

Well my throat is sore from screaming and my hands are swollen from clapping, but those tickets were worth every penny. Thank you Bjork for giving us such a great show!!!

Definitely one of the best shows I've ever been to. The last time I saw Bjork was for the Greatest Hits CD, but I didn't like the venue for that place too much which kind of ruined the show for me a little. This time around beat it hands down. Santogold opened and was great. Can't wait for her album. Today was her birthday so the crowd sang to her, which was nice. The Klaxons were a little disappointing. Their music is ok, but I don't like the vocals much. They were having a lot of technical problems with the guitars too, which probably didn't help them.

We definitely lucked out with special guests though. Santogold's performance featured Diplo djing and Spank Rock even came out for a couple songs. They had some girls playing strings too who came out to dance with them by the end. Then Bjork had special appearances by both Antony, singing The Dull Flame Of Desire with her, and the pipa player Min Xiao-Fen on I See Who You Are. I also loved seeing Mark Bell play in the band. It was Matmos last time, and they were great, but Mark Bell and Bjork together are a perfect combination, in my opinion. He even got to throw in one of his own songs. The end of Hyperballad mutated into LFO's Freak seemlessly.

I'm leaving a lot out just because I'm tired now. But since there's no setlist up yet, this was it as best I can remember it. I probably have the order wrong.
