We had a fine show yesterday. Did Vertebrae, which I don’t recall having done before. And we ALMOST played Where Is the Line. Not entirely sure why that was dropped from the setlist at the last moment.
Apparently the Olympic Hall in Seoul, where the concert took place, has wonderful acoustics - it is completely dead, which means Björk had perfect control over how things sounded. So fragile songs like Vertebrae, Aurora and the like could at last be performed.
And now we go to Tokyo!

Wow. Exciting news! People have been hoping for a “Vertebrae by Vertebrae” performance ever since the tour started! I can’t wait to listen to it.

You should talk her and Mark into doing ‘I Go Humble.’

I was there when bjork performed Where is the Line at Radio City, it was BRILLIANT! It should be performed more often!

Finally, VbV
I think, this is the song that many fans (including me) had waited for from the tour start on.

The show last night was amazing. I would never get to see this show back home in my little Canadian city, so it was a real treat to have Bjork and the entire band blow my mind last night. From the walk on to Earth Intruders through to the the remixes on Army of Me and Hyperballad the entire set was killer. The entire team deserves a huge round of applause- 90 minutes of non-stop go. It was great. I only wish I had the cash to go catch the show in Tokyo, too, because I’m sure the audience there is going to be awesome!
I’m going to have to read through the blog and find more information on some of the touch screen equipment being used during the show. You all made me so happy. My friends and I came out thoroughly impressed. Thanks so much.

I caught the show here in Seoul. was really amazing. Thanks for coming to Seoul. No one every comes here. anyways the show was great but I had a a question about he “pre-concert music” It was really cool the stuff I’m talking about was kinda like gamelan music mixed with blues. With some sort of Asian vocals. I thought they might be Indonesian but not sure. Anyways if you know what I’m talking about and know what it is please post it here or email me at mr_moula@yahoo.com. thanks a lot… and enjoy the rest of your tour!

Hm, my comment seems to have been eaten, but it was a big compliment to the Seoul show. It rocked hard and I had a great time. I was thoroughly impressed by all the performers.

I love Bjork and have been a huge fan since back in the Sugarcubes days. I was at the Olympic Hall show last weekend. It was fabulous but have all the shows on this tour been so short???? Vertebrae was amazing! As was Joga. I really loved Declare Independence too! I wish you much continued success on the tour 감사합니다
