(Harm of Will)
Wanderlust


I was at this show today and it was around 76 minutes long with a 20 min intermission at the interval. There was a projection behind Arca and Manu which showed a video of the new songs with the lyrics underneath and the beats and notes were animated.

She sang History of Touches at the beginning in English, then finished the song in Icelandic. It also felt like she ended the song early. Not sure if this was due to the lyric video was not in sync to where Bjork was in the song, so maybe it threw her off since she was looking up at it often.

Come to Me was absolutely incredible! A brand new version of the song with the strings just sounded so epic. Here's a video clip I found from instagram user migguelanggelo: https://igcdn-videos-f-2-a.akamaihd.net ... 6648_n.mp4

The non vulnicura songs had a projected video up that was much wider than the small screen with the lyric video. And projected were videos of all different types of insects, others being of nature.

I know Bjork did not want video or photos during the show, and for the most part people were very respectful of that. But that being said, I hope we get a few more videos or maybe even a recording!

Here is one that has clips of a bunch of the songs:

Would love to hear other people's thoughts on the show. I love Bjork so much, but I really wished the show could have been a little bit longer.

Thank you so much for posting the links.
I hope a full length recording of this performance surfaces soon.

[apodesta1]

i love that version of wanderlust!!! praying for a vulnicura live

[faber]

Great you enjoyed the show, but why is Harm of Will written in brackets? Was it played or not?

[MartinSlovakia]

wow, thanks, this was nice. if there is a bootleg somewhere, let me know, please

btw, I cannot image this setlist to be performed on festivals. this deserves chamber-like atmosphere.

[m.thr.n]

I'm pretty sure she'll change the setlist for festivals and open air gigs.

BTW this string rearrangement of "Wanderlust"... WOW!

It was played but not the full song.

My favorite from all of the clips I have so far seen.

[Burnface]

It seems she also sang Notget a bit lower. It's kinda decaffeinated, but I love her dances in this one. It always sounded very Spanish and almost flamenco to me!

[Dot]

Wow! Black Lake and Notget!...
Her painful thank you at the end of Black Lake along with the eternal applause was so touching

[charlesolivierwm]

Are you sure she was singing in Icelandic for HoT? It seems like she wasn't able to sing the lyrics so she just did va-vee-ahh!

Edit:

[...] And on the short song History of Touches she couldn’t sing the words at all, replacing the lyrics with her trademark ah-sih-mah-lay-kah-ah-ah Björkish.

[m.thr.n]

WTF was that projection behind her during "I See Who You Are"? Was that the molting spider video she mentioned somewhere?

Looks like it. Well, it looks like a spider. Good spot.

WSJ 'review'. Or 'list of the things' if you will.

[Leafonthewind]

I love the setlist ( Wanderlust with strings and Undo? Yes please ) but I'm worried about the absence of Atom Dance.
I hope it's temporary until she figures out a solo version but seeing how often she performed past duets with Antony...

[Here4thenew1]

Does anyone know if there's a clip/snippet of "Family" circulating anywhere?

It's like no one cared about that one.

Lionsong was amazing!

omg LMAO HoT was just awful.

I find it hard to believe she couldn't remember ANY of the lyrics from memory? I think at this point, the fans know her songs better than she does.

[faber]

^my impression seeing the video is that she didn't want to sing those words.

[Anak]

^my impression seeing the video is that she didn't want to sing those words.

Could she have forgotten one line and thought she might as well do the whole thing in gibberish?
Lmao yours makes more sense though

[faber]

^but yours is a possibility too xD

I am pretty sure she forgot the lyrics because she turned to the screen, which was not displaying the words correctly. As to whether she decided at that moment to simply continue with gibberish or really forgot all the lines for the rest of the song, it's hard to tell.

Thanks for the link! It made me live the concert again, in my head.

Some real good recordings from night 1


Lionsong + Awkard History Of Touches



I See Who You Are + Mouth Mantra + Wanderlust

[charlesolivierwm]

I already feel nostalgic of the Vulnicura era. I discovered Björk in the Biophilia era, but I've signed up on this 4um during the Vulnicura era especially for the presale of NYC shows of Vulnicura. They said they were sending the presale code to the Björk fan club, so I wanted to be sure I wouldn't miss that.

I've been to this concert and it was so great. I'm listening to the bootleg we have of it. The version of Come to me is so great, and the quality is very good!

I was so thrilled to see Björk in New York, the moment was so unreal. I would like to relive the moment again.

I've been very distracted by the screen displaying the lyrics though. I'm glad they removed them in the other concerts.

I'm listening to the Black Lake recording. I remember being there, listening to her, and feeling hurt for her.
It is so nice to hear all people clapping their hands after the song, during a long time, to support Björk.

A little late to this. Did anyone download them before they were taken down?
