Volta is definately an outdoors, live experience. I had my doubts about going on the Conan O'brien show, but like incufish23 said, even when it's not all 100% perfect, it's still better than so much of the crap that is out there right now. don't be hard on yourself. you've been playing amazingly, even when you don't think so. sorry you got sick. vitamins, lots of liquids, lots of rest, fresh air, dress warm enough. you'll be fine. :) you guys need a mountain top, not a lateshow stage, all cramped. you need an outdoor ampitheater.

Sorry the Conan O’Brian show didn't go so well, we all have off day and Björks worst day of preforming usually is better than 75% of most shows. :) Any way best wishes.

I think you all did great!! It's one of the best TV performances I've seen lately (considering the last hyped up one I saw from another performer was completely lip synched... won't mention the name), Aw, well don’t be too hard on yoursel(ves)… I think you all did great!!

The second part of the chorus is so powerful that when played only during the end of the song I actually think there is more of a built-up then there is on the album version. I remember you played it the same way on SNL. That was the first time I heard Wanderlust. And I was actually a bit disappointed when the album got out because I felt the album version gave the good part away too soon.

Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and if you get the kind with cinnamon, that helps boost the immune system a little. And it makes your breath cinnamonny. Anyway, enjoy your much needed vacation!

I was at Madison Square Garden this week in the front. I still am having wonderful dreams every night about that experience. Last night I dreamed about the rendition of Cover Me... I wish that would come out in a live CD version. Have a good vacation and thanks for updating this blog so often. It was a wonderful journey since I saw Radio City at the beginning, your posts for months, then The Garden this week. Twas a great summer for me ........... ........... ........... ...........

That particular song live has an energy that was lacking on that tiny stage and was dwarfed behind the lense. You all were just too big for that environment. I agree with you.

My thought after watching is that this could be due to the sort of "artificial" environment compared to the typical live performance. The requirements of the talk show, in which everyone has to be quiet waiting for the host to get done with his introduction, and then start playing one song, on command, is quite different from a concert, in which the artist or the band can prepare themselves as they please and start when they are ready. ALso, if they make mistakes in one song, they have a whole set to "redeem" themselves. Compared to the shows I saw, Bjork seemed a little constrained/restrained, and didn't seem to be singing with the effortless, soaring quality that makes her, when at her best, such an extraordinary performer. Still, any Bjork is better than no Bjork, so I'm glad I stayed up to watch. I've said it before and I'll say it again, do yourself a favor and see her live.
