| If mere words could describe the emotional spectrum that I, a boy of the sunshine state, had endured that enchanted night - I suppose I would begin by saying: "finally". I still have tickets to the vespertine tour years ago that went unused - which after being lulled to sleep night after night and being brought to tears any number of times... left me brokenhearted just knowing that I missed the most beautiful experience I never had. Alas, when I heard of another chance to be blessed with her presence... all I felt was "finally". I never had one doubt how mercilessly breathtaking Bjork would be that night. She could have sung car commercials for a half-hour and I would have been elated. Just having so many songs like "venus as a boy", "hyperballad", "unison", and so many more be brought to life right before my eyes left me screaming louder than any sixteen-year old cheerleader I have ever known - as well as brought tears of unexplainable joy to my soul that still ring clear today. Her laughter was infectious and every sound, note, mumble, & giggle sent chills of bliss roaming over my entire body like a blanket of happiness ~ as if I were being tucked in a bed of smiles with a cover made of tickles. This is exactly what I wished and hoped and dreamed I would feel just being in her presence and to tell you the absolute truth... from where I was standing ~ Bjork was nothing short of ENCHANTING. After the show, Me, my great friend Matt, and about thirty others stood outside in the forty degree weather in hopes to see her as she exited the venue - seeing as how we flew in from Florida to Chicago to see her and had nothing else to do.. We never saw her exit the auditorium, nor I doubt did any of the girls from Miami (coincedentally) who were standing beside us, but nonetheless - we all witnessed a miracle of pure bliss... and so long as I am blessed to live - I shall never forget that night, nor one moment of the majik that was born that evening. My sincerest admiration - Always & All ways, J.shu! / bless you. P.S. I hope anyone who reads this realizes that "there are such small obsticles standing in the way of such a significant spiritual, sensual and collectively emotional rewarding experience. I encourage one & all - let nothing stand in your way - I thought I knew ecstacy before this night. Now we are very, very well-accquainted. (And I am not speaking of Doves here ladies & gents. Pure & Chemical-Free Ecstacy, love.) /consciouselevate - 3292 |
| I have dreamed of going to a Bjork concert since I was 15 years old! I grew up in a small town in Louisiana so I never really thought I would ever get to see her perform live. When I saw she was touring America again and coming to Chicago I put everything on the back burner and spent way too much on this trip. However, the reality of this concert did not disappoint! I nearly bloodied my feet dancing in gold high heels and it was totally worth it. I will never be able to truly convey the euphoric feeling of the music pumping through me both in volume and intensity. Pluto, Hyperballad, Aurora--all personal favorites of mine and performed wonderfully!! Hearing the new songs from Volta for the first time at this show has made me love them all the more! The lasers and pyrotechnics only added to the full frontal sensory assault of the show. Thank you, Bjork, for such a wonderful experience. As silly as this sounds, this concert was definately a major life moment for me!! /ephymeris2 - 2924 |
| My 5 year old daughter, my sister, my boyfriend and I drove from Louisville, KY to see this show. It was a Mother's Day gift to myself, I suppose, a very expensive one, but I would do it again. She is the luckiest kid in the world. I listened to Vespertine through my pregnancy, and even in labor- Bjork is in her blood. The show was everything I hoped for; I laughed, I wept, I danced (even though no one else around us did). Chicago is a curious place. How can you not dance at a Bjork show??? It is very polite and subdued for a big city. The fishy banners were my favorite, and the flag/hats of the brass section made us deliriously happy. The brass section in general was gorgeous. I didn't even miss so much the vocal chorus they replaced. So much. Thank you Bjork and crew for this (most likely) once in a lifetime chance. When I figure it out, I'll post some pre-show video of us getting ready. We made a pilgrimage. We are cleansed and healed. We are grateful. Terry /metalmonkey - 2916 |
| To see Björk live for the first time after her being the greatest source of inspiration and musical joy for me in years, was the best experience of my life. I am ever so grateful for having gotten the chance to go to this show. It was something i could have never imagined :D It was all perfect. Two weeks after it took place I am still enjoying it, and i will forever :D Greetings from Mexico :) ñ /ñlkjasdf - 2886 |
| In response to the post below: I only drank coffee at the Red Rocks show. Highly recommended. I was amped and super emotionally charged for the whole set and beyond. /Lani Milbus - 2811 |
| Another first timer here completely blown away by this show . . I've been to hundreds of concerts, but Bjork + Radiohead are the only 2 artists that I would do just about anything to see if they're ever w/in 5 or 6 hours of Detroit. I've seen Radiohead many times + they have just killed every set I've ever seen them play. So, my anxiousness and expectations for Bjork were through the roof. From the moment the curtain lifted + the first thing everyone saw was Bjork marching on-stage to the first chords of Earth Intruders, waving her arms around like a crazy person, the strangest feeling came over me . . it was finally happening . . BJORK LIVE!! There's a vibe that is present when she is performing that is unlike anything you feel when you're at other concerts. The set list was amazing - Innocence + Declare Independence are great new songs, but hearing all those Vespertine tunes was a dream come true - especially 'It's Not Up To You' leading into 'Pagan Poetry'. The Hyperballad/Pluto mix is just ridiculous. Imagine the board games 'Battleship' + 'Operation' being played/mashed together (somehow) + projected onto a screen w/ Bjork singing the 2 tracks in the background . . For anyone that's about to see her perform, my only advice would be to not drink at all beforehand. I can drink like a fish, but I had 4 beers that night + they were all w/in about an hour of her going on, + for the first 5 or 6 songs, I could just tell I wasn't digesting the show as much as I should of been. Thank you Bjork for putting on an impeccable performance. Can't wait til next time! /mgriffin - 2794 |
| Absolutely the best show I have ever seen! I feel so fortunate that I had the chance to see her. A dream come true. I almost lost it when she started playing "Unison". It was the one song I wanted her to play the most. I never expected that she actually would play it. After looking at the set list that is posted, I could swear that "Oceania" was earlier in the set and not the second to last song. I thought it went from "Pluto" to "Declare Independence". I thought "Oceania" was like the 6th or 7th song she played. Am I remembering wrong? /kkcmyk - 2790 |
| This was my first Björk concert, and although I did come with expectations, when I began to see the setlist she was playing in other cities, I knew I could only hope she would add more material from my favorite Björk album, Vespertine. Even though the feedback concerned me, I was elated she did 'Aurora','Unison', and 'It's Not Up To You', and being the big baby I am they were the only songs that made me lose it. Sobbing like a big girl in front of my friend! (ACK!) To have expected her to change up the setlist dramatically would be asking too much because of the work and time it would take for all involved to pick up on the song and work out the details of implementing the brass, but I think they did an excellent job incorporating all the musicians to full effect on every song. Before I knew it I was making a fool of myself dancing to 'Pluto' when it blew up in Auditorium Theatre, and probably annoyed the people behind me with my ass in the way of their view, but fuck them for sitting down for such a fun and vibrant concert, and the beautiful use of colors, costumes, and lighting. To expect Björk to play material consistent with following up a previous album is dumb, and I have noticed a lot of forum member doing just that. She's promoting Volta, and the standout tracks on Volta, so it seems logical that she would select material that would compliment the new material, not compete against it. I think she did a great job also with giving people just enough of the older material too. Did anyone really expect her to break out 'Unison'? It is the best show I have been to so far, and although I would have loved to have had the time and finances to see Björk during the Vespertine tour, I am a grateful grapefruit to have had the chance to see her. Now if only someone could convince her to tour the Southern half of the US, I would be overjoyed to see her closer to home. My only complaint was the air conditioning. I was sweating just sitting in my seat, but then again it could have been from my excitement, and the second half of the show (or just my fat ass). I want a studio version of that 'Hyperballad' mix!!! Thanks Miss B for a concert worth travelling up to Chicago from Texas for!!! /hyperdriveone - 2786 |
| After listening to the show again (and again, and again!) Something that strikes me as brilliance on the part of Bjork is the "Horny Girls" Who also do a spectacular job with the vocal choruses. Talk about bang for your buck! Really brilliant. They added a layer of warmth that in my opinion is integral to Bjork's sound. Everything else has been said. Thanks to the band and Bjork for much enjoyment. /skokiebob - 2780 |

| Thank you Bjork and thanks to your ensemble. It was a wonderful show…I was enchanted. Good luck with the rest of your tour and please come back soon. /berlin - 2764 |
| What a wonderful night! My mum was my date for the evening as a little mother's day treat. We had a really enjoyable time. The pyrotechnics were very startling (I read from the tour blog though that they malfunctioned!). Immature, Oceania, and bachelorette were delightful. I spotted four of the girls from the brass band sauntering up michigan avenue earlier in the day. It made watching them all on stage all the more enjoyable. I promised my mom I would put in a bad word for ghostdigital as she really hated the set list; It was funny to watch the old lady sit there with her fingers in her ears, though! JPM /permoda - 2763 |
| This show was the most amazing experience of my life. Thank you Björk for making music that inspires people and always being yourself. Your performance was spot on and worth the trip from Columbus! After ten years of waiting for the opportunity to see you perform live, it really was an unforgettable night! I wish you would've played Jóga because it is my favorite song (by you and of all time) but the set list really was magical and the version Hyper-ballad was out of control! Army of My and Pluto were also great fun to watch with the lasers! Thanks again for making my dream come true! -Josh- /emerald dream g - 2762 |

| Independence sway ROCK REVIEW | Singer-songwriter brings distinctive style to a very unusual show May 14, 2007 BY JIM DeROGATIS Pop Music Critic "Declare independence!" Bjork howled near the end of an inspiring set during a sold-out show Saturday night at the Auditorium Theatre. "Make your own flag!" Throughout her long and ever-evolving career -- which predates even her time with proto-alternative rockers the Sugarcubes (1986 to 1992) and the six proper solo albums she has released since 1993 -- the 41-year-old, classically trained, Icelandic-born singer and songwriter always has forged a distinctive path, and she has rarely failed to deliver a unique experience in concert. Doing justice to her reputation for outlandish costumes, Bjork took to a stage adorned with pendants evocative of a Viking hunting lodge while wearing elaborately embroidered floral pants and a baggy gold dress that looked like a rose viewed from the top. She then proceeded to deliver a 90-minute set every bit as colorful as those visuals. Although the performance dragged during a few of the slower songs featuring only her vocals and harpsichord or electronic backing, her spirited renditions of older, harder-rocking tunes ("Army of Me," "Pagan Poetry") and the more avant-garde and ethereal material from her recent album "Volta" ("Earth Intruders," "Wanderlust," "Declare Independence") were revelatory. The new songs in particular benefitted from the push of a 15-piece band that included a powerful drummer and a 10-piece female brass section adorned in balloonlike, neon-colored jumpsuits and flag headpieces. With French horn, tuba, trombone and trumpet underscoring the regal melodies that are sometimes lost in the dense and joyless mix of the new album, and Bjork's one-of-a-kind, octaves-spanning vocals riding those bold brass lines to ever-loftier heights, she has rarely if ever sounded better. And if you factor in the lasers, occasional bursts of brilliant pyrotechnics and outlandish opening act, it's likely that the Auditorium has never witnessed a night quite like that one. Together again As longtime fans may know, Einar Örn Benediktsson was the loud, obnoxious, seemingly non-musical character who led the Sugarcubes with Bjork, often inserting himself at the most inopportune moments to shout off-key or deliver a blast of gratingly harsh trumpet noise. Missing in action (at least in America) for a decade and a half, he has resurfaced with his abrasiveness undiminished as part of a two-man band called Ghostigital with producer, guitarist and electronics wizard Curver. They opened Saturday's show. As Curver delivered a punishingly loud electro-clash assault, Einar ranted and raved, prancing about the stage and sometimes bounding off it to stroll down the aisle, only steps behind a portion of the audience that ran for the shelter of the lobby to ride out the storm. Those of us who stayed were rewarded with a provocative performance in the great electronic-punk tradition of Suicide, making you think, laugh and surrender to the glorious noise and chaos, and reminding veteran Bjork-watchers of when she first started to fly her freak-flag high. jimdero@jimdero.com http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/music/poprock/384019,CST-FTR-bjork14.article /MWC - 2758 |

| My first Björk concert, and I must say... it was perfect. Thought I hate to play favorites with her music, as I love it all, I do find I favor Vespertine a bit. So this concert was the perfect set list for a Vespertine fan. Aurora, Unison (I HAD to record this one), It's Not Up To You, and Pagan Poetry... Just.... WOW. I always thought I would cry when she's play All Is Full Of Love, but I was kinda sad that I didn't even shed a tear. But as soon as that choir came in during It's Not Up To You, they came pouring. Thank you so much Björk for this fantastic night. I will not forget this. /littledude835 - 2753 |
| To the girl in the red short dress near the front that looked and danced like Bjork. I MUST meet you. WHO ARE YOU? /iceman1 - 2752 |
| well, what can I say. Lavacoolsme, takk for the most amazing seats ever! Did we have fun??? Of course we did. Voudou, she sang Venus as a Boy for me! and when Pluto came on I felt us dancing together. Joy, Aviana, Andrew, so nice to meet you, you crazy kids! Einar, wow, what power and fun, we laughed and head bobbed and felt the beat, takk for taking the time to talk to Kayleigh and me. Bjork, of course you gave me , once again, one of the most memoriable nights of my life. The set list couldn't have been better, your notes were spot on, the energy was all there, I hope you know how much your creativity and most beautiful voice affects myself and so many others. Thanks for tonight!!! ever, ..........Snori. /snori - 2750 |

| A night of sheer power and fantastic beauty erupted from every nook and cranny of the Auditorium Theatre this past 12th of May, during the Volta Tour's stop in the Midwest. Enclosed in the breathtaking architectural structure of the extremely beautiful alternative to arena setting, the anxious and excited crowd all but flew into frenzy as Björk sang a wonderful, almost macabre version of "Cover Me" off-stage. Smartly using the situation to boost the crowd's already 'in panic' hearts that much further, she initiated release as the curtains were finally drawn back to reveal a sight I'm sure none will easily forget: a non-lit figure, a neon glowing band, a drummer, pianist, and electronic group, all with flames of red shooting skyward behind them as music starts pumping out of the speakers. Dressed to the nines in a shimmering golden frock featuring a spiral pattern on the back and wonderful fishnet-type leggings of all colour spectrums on the legs, Björk lit up everyone's eyes with the almost ridiculously talented music and setlist prepared for the concert. Starting off the visible part of the performance with the foot stomping, feel the beat in your muscle, Unicef charged anthem "Earth Intruders," new ground was broken with the quieter side of the night as the lead-in "Venus As a Boy" circulated over the all-standing crowd of enthusiastic spectators. Following with quick succession, "Aurora" worked beautifully with its Vespertine sister "Unison," a first for the Volta Tour, presumably used a replacement for the Antony MIA of "The Dull Flame of Desire." Continuing forwards with the swelled-eye inducing "All is Full of Love," "Immature," and "Pleasure is All Mine" arch, the lady of Iceland surprised once again with the inclusion of another Vespertine song, "It's Not Up to You," again working as a replacement for the "I See Who You Are" pipa-styled experiment played throughout the New York City gigs. As the softer side of the show came to an end with the always heart-breaking "I Love Him I Love Him I Love Him I Love Him" of "Pagan Poetry," Björk thus set in motion the wheels of a much different concert to soon follow. If there is one moment that will be most remembered of this Chicago 2007 concert revelation, it will have to be the "Army of Me" drift, with extreme lasers bouncing off mirror like speakers, sending rays shooting all over the open-mouthed crowd, with the beat that no matter how you try to avoid, will always hit you head-on. This selection was then driven further home with Volta's electronic equivalent, "Innocence," featuring a beat-radiating Björk, dancing and smiling her way through the marvelous falsetto turns and grunting magic of the rhythm. Rather nicely slipping in the Homogenic thump that is "Bachelorette," the brass, true to form, placed a new spin on the standard Björk classic, thrusting new light into the song by improving and creatively rendering the piece for live display. Swinging back once again with the new "Wanderlust," the intake was extreme as the chorus' demanding vocals were never faltered by the 'professional' type Björk displayed; she laid bare the very depths of her vocal achievements. Playing up the "Hyperballad / Freak" mashup that had been put to good use on the previous dates of the tour, there was dancing, smiling, and carousing energy in the crowd and screaming bandleader, as the morphication process took no survivors in displaying just how far "Pluto" could go. The first time this tour I've heard Björk actually scream out each famous note of the song's outro, drove home the need for even more as the Encore came underway. Sporting the Medúlla of the night, the oft-compared High School band version of "Oceania" did not disappoint in the slightest, actually serving as a great mixture of the hard-hitting parts of the concert and the more subtle, Vesper-like moments of the opening tracks. A hybrid of the two worked very well, as the enormous force that is "Declare Independance" broke every sound barrier known to man as each pulsating beat was forced further and further into the everyman's subconscious, inciting political "go get 'em!" attitude in all present. Sneakily fitting in a "thanks for tonight," Björk ran off as the lights came up and every saw the noticeable sweat stains soaking through their shirts. It was a moment of victory, to be sure. Rocking out every song like so few can, the concert was such a wonderful testament to how far music can go (and how far one little Icelandic woman can push through the boundaries of music and vocal styles alike.) Never to be forgotten, this concert will go down in history, not just for being the first (hopefully not last) appearance of "Unison" and "It's Not Up to You," but for really showcasing all that a concert should, but so rarely does, embody. ~ Legendary ~ /oldnavy_21 - 2747 |
| sorry, i goofed up the review by calling "Oceania" with the "The anchor song". guess that's why i'm not much of a sailor. /cheeseheds4bjork - 2746 |
| ...row gg..seat 301...i had a gorgeous view of the stage right dead center and enjoyed every minute of it. we had a little buzz around us wondering....hmmmm...bjork's here, einor orn's here. could we see/hear some sugarcubes songs tonight? the answer was no but the show had so much energy and vitality, i had forgot all about the possible sugarcubes hookup during bjork's wonderful set. where to start?.. well, as what had been the pattern with the last couple of shows in new york, bjork started the night off behind the curtain with jonas sen on the harpsichord opening up with "Cover me". once the curtain lifted, all pandemonium was upon the stage as "Earth intruders" roared and lit up the stage with firepots at the beginning and at the end of the song. from there, the focus of the show was primarily on the right side of the stage with bjork, jonas and the 12 piece all-girl horn crew dominating an 8 song down-tempo set. "Venus as a boy" was just brilliant with bjork really nailing her highs to perfection. i don't listen to the vespertine cd very much as she threw me a bit of a curve ball on naming the next 2. both were performed very well as i figured out "Aurora" at the end of that song but i could not get the next song. i know i've heard it before and i know it's off of vespertine, but doggone it!, what's the name of that one? driving home later and listening to my vespertine cd, i then realized "yes! that's it! it was Unison". past setlists of previous shows didn't show that one being played so it was a first for this tour. still staying with the down-tempo material, "All is full of love" was next as the crowd erupted with joy right from the opening notes. the 12 piece choir really nailed those answer back "all is full of love" chants with bjork and the song was performed beautifully. "Immature","Pleasure is all mine" and another surprise "It's all up to you" were next and i thought really spotlighted bjork's singing range at her highest point in the show. her highs were just as brilliant as can be and her bouncy and playful stage presence really made it hard to focus on really anything else but her on that stage. the crowd erupted again as the opening piano/harpsichord notes of "Pagan poetry" were heard and the whole crowd silenced themselves to hear bjork sing "i love him, i love him...". the 12 piece choir then answered her back with "she loves him, she loves him...". one of the moments of many that happened that are still stuck inside my head. a thunderous pulse of bass started the next song and the pounding rhythms of "Army of me" was next. the crowd is now dancing, feet are tapping and heads are bobbing to bass and drums pounding in your chest. lasers and light special effects and are all around bjork who sang the song with more power and energy than the album. jonus sen provides that bass line on his keyboard that faces the crowd as the bass had a keyboard-y like sound to it. speaking of bass, "Innocence" off the volta cd had the most powerful bottom heavy pulses of the night as everyone's heart felt it beat into their chest. with "Army of me" and "Innocence", you start to see a shift of focus move from the right side of sen's keyboards and the choir to the left with mark bell, chris corsano and damien taylor who been the rhythm section throughout the night but have been in the background to this point providing the glitchy, staccato- like beats for the others to play over. the next song in my opinion was the best of the night. "Bachlorette" was just awesome. as much as i like the version on homogenic, the song had an incredible energy and flow that the cd just can't provide. bjork shows herself as truly one of a kind in the range and clarity of the way she sings that song. just brilliant. jonas sen's piano really comes through strong. just a mindblowing performance by everyone. another new song "Wonderlust" was next and slowed down the tempo but was well received. then came the real up-tempo charge that everyone was waiting for when "Hyperballad" was next. the song starts out with the regular tempo of the cd version but then mark bell got the beat pumped up to close it out which then morphed into the beginning of "Pluto" and everyone in the crowd is dancing in the aisles and bouncing about. bjork just blew me away with the end when she growls outt the closing "ohohohowwa- oh" part building volume and energy until she closed with a blood curdling scream at the end of it which was her hardest scream of the night. whole song was very well done. the encores had a very bouncy version of "The anchor song" and then closed out the hardest song of the night of which everyone is raving about on this tour, "Declare independence". comparisons to digi-punk of this song are close but with that hard bass kick drum that keeps pounding you in the chest, it almost reminded me of a more gabber/power noise hardcore feel to it. the lyrics to definitely make a more political punky song and the wjhole crowd and 12 piece choir are bouncing around. the choir waves these flags with the song and the show closes out on that note. for those of you who have not seen the concert yet but are waiting to see it soon, really watch jonas sen's piano playing. it's hard to not focus on bjork 100% of the time but just watching that guy play piano was mind-blowing. just watch him play for a little while, especially during the downtempo songs. for such a big guy, he plays the harpsichord/piano with such fluidity. he was just awesome saturday night. but he's a very big part of as is everyone in the band who is part of the total package. but he turned out to be the one thing i was looking for that is the unsung hero. bjork's singing speaks for itself. she truly is a one of a kind performer that is rare in the music world today. her high notes make hair on my arms stand up. her emotions into her singing gave me goosebumps at times. her playfulness on the stage makes her more than just a one dimensional performer. she is a top notch stage virtuioso and she commands respect just for who she is. we are lucky to have her. ghostigital opened the show and einor orn was in just top notch "einer orn" form. from quirky body movements around the stage to impromptu dancing and just general overall goofyness, he was a real hoot to watch. a 2 piece outfit, ghostigital songs that stood out to me were "Dream of sleep", "Black sand","The heart" and the set closer "Not clean". i have the "In cod we trust" cd and it has a more dark hip hop feel to it. the live show had a more digital punk sort of sound to it, unlike the album. which is strange because it was the same songs. they had got more power and distortion/ guitars in it live. anyways, einor orn hasn't changed a bit and that's cool with me. i live in watertown, wisc. and drove almost 3 hours to get to the show but it was worth every minute of it. i'm just lucky that chicago is that close to me. as i was talking to people around me at the show, we are so lucky she came here. she blew over big cities like atlanta, miami, phoenix, dallas, minneapolis to just name a few. i don't think bjork is really all that crazy about the u.s. and choses to tour here as little as possible. it looks like she'd rather spend more time in europe and overseas where she seems more comfortable. so if you can get some chance to see her in any american city at anytime, do it! you will not regret it. i think everyone who has seen her on this tour will get behind me on that one. thanks, bjork. you are loved here in wisconsin and throughout the united states. please stay here as much as you possibly can in the future. /cheeseheds4bjork - 2745 |

| Wow. Ghostigital as an opener really pumped up the crowd with their dada-esque music. It rocked. Bjork sang 'Unison' which was the highlight of the show for me, since she hasn't sang it yet on tour. Even from the second balcony I felt like she was singing directly towards my section. It was my first time seeing Bjork live and I will never forget it. Declare Independence! -Patrick- /van05 - 2740 |
| I traveled by train from Wichita, Kansas for this show, and somehow I was fortunate enough to be in the Orchestra pit. Bjork was incredible, and so was the rest of the band. The security at Auditorium Theatre was a little violent towards a guy with a camera - he'll probably have a couple bruises show up pretty soon. Bjork, thank you for coming and good luck with the rest of your shows. - Michelle /uscia - 2739 |
