We performed two “new” songs last night. That is, songs that we, Björk and the present band, haven’t performed in public before: 5 Years and I Miss You. I love them both. Let’s perform them a lot more!

Jónas! Everyone was outstanding last night, you rocked us all the way to the top of the amphitheater! I was there with five other friends and we couldn’t get enough. The crowd became a sea of bright cell phone screens, replacing cigarette lighters of yore. I Miss You just pulls my heart out, I’m glad it was a new edition to the tour. If you could, give Björk an ecstatic hug for us? (*_* ) (^_^ ) ( _> ) (0_0 ) (*_* )

i’m sure the brass adds a whole new heartiness to those songs!
in the accounts ive read, everyone was blown away!

Yes! Both of them are of my favorite songs!!! I wish i had seen you perform them at NYC!
Now i just hope that you play them when you come to Mexico

I saw your performance in Chicago and I must say I think you are brilliant !
I have played piano since 5 and so I recognize someone with a love of the instrument immediately and you have it !
Perhaps I will be in Toronto but I am not sure yet . If you play Reykjavik again even if alone I will be sure to see you there . You should get a myspace account so people can speak with you directly ha ha .
Have fun with it ! Takk Fyrir !

“I Miss You” was certainly an unexpected (and wonderful!) treat. One of the best performances overall that I’ve seen.
Jónas, you’re fantastic!

Yes, thank you so much for playing “I Miss You”. You have no idea how happy I was when you performed that–it was the first song I ever heard by Bjork, and I still relate to the lyrics about waiting for your dream guy to come.

Blooooooowwwwwn away! My friend and I and all around us were so happy to hear both songs. The Minimalist Venus was awsome too.

Hi…Great show in Chicago…
Could you by chance give me any insight as to the music that was played
before the show and between acts.
Some of it was really good and I would like to check out more of it.
Thanks!

Taniagr: I have no idea if we are coming to Mexico. And Zoggferry: The music in the interval was South-Japanese motown songs from the 60s.

i’m working on my illustration of the UNITED PALACE show, but i didnt get a good view of the image on the banners @ the far left & right of the stage ( the ones shaped like this: http://nornsisland.com/banner_reference.jpg )
ive been able to draw the fish, alligator & frog, but i cant see what animal is on the other banner…if you have a chance, & it isnt inconvienient (or detracting from the magick) would you post a photo of the banners?
thank you!

Thanks Jónas…
It was good stuff.
I’ll have to see if I can find some.
Any idea what the good “thumpa thumpa” stuff was from before the show?

for some good Japanese Motown, check out The Scooters!
The Scooters was formed in 1978, and are “Tokyo’s Motown Sound”.
The band changed members 5 times, but currently consists of 5 female vocalists, one who also plays saxophone, and 5 other members (keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, MC/percussions), including SHINDOÌ„ Mitsuo (art director for Contemporary Production (C.T.P.P.)
they are so fun, & the main vocalist sounds like the happiest person on the planet!

Hello Jónas
Thanks for keeping up with the blog. I am very excited because I will see you perform Saturday night in Mountain View. Can you tell us a little bit about the sound check. I imagine that the musicians need to do a sound check before every performance. What time does that usually happen. I ask because the Shoreline Amphitheatre where you will perform this Saturday is an outdoor venue and it is possible to listen to the sound check if one is just out side of the theatre. If you would be so kind as to reveal this information many fans will be greatful as we are desperate to hear you as much as possible. Any chance that Hunter might come back on the setlist? Also, I hope the band and yourself have a good time in the Bay Area, I encourage you to go out and party in San Francisco after the show.
Thank You.

I’m so jealous that Red Rocks got ‘I Miss You’, because this is the show I was originally trying to go to…but anyways I saw you guys at RCMH so I can’t complain, but I am really glad that she decided to play this song on this tour because with all the horns it seems like it would be unbelievable!

the show was a dream come true for me. now i can die happy and grateful to see bjork and band.
newsom was a treat too, wow she has a short skirt on at the party!
i was with the juggler crew, you looked tiered sitting on the couch, hope your legs
recover and the last bit of drive goes easy for all of you.
so grateful for getting the FULL show!
