by BSamra on 2/14/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensDespite recovering from an illness, Bjork sounded absolutely phenomenal. Her voice as clear and resonant as ever. The venue was gorgeous and the songs from Biophilia translated very well live.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Bjork has one of the greatest voices
by Inora on 2/9/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensTruly one of the greatest concerts I've ever attended. Bjork's vocals and stage presence blew me away. The choir and musicians excel at their craft.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Bjork is a force of nature in her own right
by Nobieandluby on 2/8/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensBjork's Biophilia in New York was phenomenal. The Hall of science is the perfect setting for her work and the intimate atmosphere means that both the artists and the audience share mutual feedback which is so rare in events these days. The instruments are interesting enough as sound creators but also asworks of art - particularly the gravity instrument used in Solstice. It was so good to see them up close and we were lucky enough to be able to meet the musicians afterwards. Bjork is always brilliant, with her musical sensibilities influenced by so many genres and that voice... We would recommend it to anyone. If you think you only like classical music, give this a try...

by dmt9000 on 2/8/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensA terrific, intimate show, in a fittingly strange venue, the 100-foot-high, rippling Hall of Science cathedral. I arrived obsessively early, and after freezing outside with the other fanatics for a few hours, was rewarded with a front row seat, well worth the wait. The set felt short at 1 hour and 40 minutes, but every moment was intense and otherworldly. The Tesla coil used to create rhythms on Thunderbolt was amazing, and although it was used on another song or two towards the end of the set, I found myself wishing it would have been used the entire time, as the sound was deep, powerful, and unique. The gravity harp was also a unique and intriguing addition to the incredible (and lovely...and barefoot) Icelandic space choir, and all of the musicians were great. Best of all, Bjork was just a few feet away bouncing around and singing her heart out, and her voice was in great form. She was wearing little space shoes and a dress with what looked like inflatable seashells or Smurf ears or lady parts. Having seen her several times over the years, starting in the late 80s when she performed with The Sugarcubes at Jones Beach Theater, I can confidently say that this was my favorite performance of hers and ranks among the best concert experiences I've ever had. I only wish it had not been so difficult to secure tickets, as I would have liked for my sisters and friends to be there too.

by Dvice42 on 2/8/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensI am so thankful to have gotten tickets to this concert. It exceeded my expectations in every way! At one point Bjork stood five feet from me singing directly toward me! Her voice is pure magic, absolutely one of the best on Earth. All I can say is the pure joy of listening to such a great artist in such an intimate setting. I will take the experience with me for the rest of my life.

by MellieSH on 2/8/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensBjork is astounding; this show was amazing & absolutely genious. The combonation of this venue and album and artist I will remember as a once in a lifetime experience. If I had musical Tesla coils I'd use them everyday.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Very pleasantly surprisingly intimate!!
by vafromva on 2/6/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensWOW- what an amazing show! First of all, the venue is so cool. Even the entrance to the museum had been "Bjork-ified." I wish I was able to get there at 6:30 to check out more of the exhibits! Next, the actual setting for the performance was so cool! The stage was round and in the middle. It seemed like a private show - Bjork was so close!! Videos and moving features only enhanced the awesomeness. The sound was fantastic. I am so so so so glad that I was able to attend this show. Spectacular. Also - she played a few of my favorites that weren't from Biophilia! The pleasant surprises lasted throughout the evening!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Bjork - one of the best shows ever
by Jeff666 on 2/6/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensLiterally mind-blowing. The venue (NY Hall of Science) was amazingly beautiful. The stage setup was awesome with the crowd on all sides and only a rope between the crowd and the stage. At points, Bjork was directly in front of us, like 5 feet away. Five or six double-sided video screens were arranged in a circle above the stage... playing visuals from the Biophilia ipad aps (which could be played in another part of the venue... along with other Bjork-related exhibits). There were large, custom made instruments on stage such as a tesla coil, a gamelan/celeste organ, and some other strange, huge objects. Along with a roughly 10 person Icelandic choir, a live drummer, harpist, and "DJ", Bjork sang all the songs on Biophilia plus more from her past in a performance lasting about 2 hours. The finale was amazing and everyone was blown away. The first night of NYC residency at the Hall of Science in Queens was out of this world.

by Subdvidedkid on 2/6/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensI was literally less than 5 feet away from Bjork while she wailed into the microphone the songs "Mutual Core" "Hollow" " Thunderbolt" and "Pagan Poetry." To be that close and see her intensity, her focus, her passion-- is inspiring. I'm convinced that this venue was the PERFECT venue for this show, this album. The instruments invented for the show, the use of iPads, the production value-- the wonderful choir-- that SICK drummer-- could only be done in the round and with less than 700 people. The show was about an hour and a half with two encore numbers. Bjork delivered. Completely. Best yet-- the VIP ticket I bought was completely worth it. I got to meet Bjork after the show and see the AMAZING project going along side this fantastic exploration of science and music.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Disappointed
by Hommepourfemme on 2/5/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensBjork is one of the best vocalist of the century, sounded great friday nite in Queens, looked great too, but only if you could catch a glimpse of her straining your neck to look past all the obstruction of a very poorly designed set, and choir back up girls blocking your view. Set design, lighting, and distracting girls in terrible shiny costumes looked like a high school production, from 1988, at a midwestern HS with a very small budget for the theatre department. It was a disaster visually. Best part were the musicians, harp player, percussionist where superb,sound was mixed well too. but That was it..At many points I just closed my eyes and listened, but I wonder should I have done that, with the CD in my apartment, and looked at poster of Bjork, and saved myself $150 instead?
Rating: 1 out of 5 Get the cheap seats ....Go for the incredible venu
by Hommepourfemme on 2/5/12New York Hall Of Science - QueensOk, I was very excited to see Bjork, this was to be a very intimate show at the Science Hall. I arrive at 7:30. I grabbed a glass of wine , I see a few downtown celebrities, Kim Gordon, As Four, some famous fashion photographer. I bought the 150.00 seats because.well standing and general admission can trying. we go to our seats and dispite having seat numbers are told the seats are first come first serve. OK???? So no problem we moved and figured it out. THE THE PROBLEM ALL OF THE SEATS WERE LIMITED VIEW..THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS BLOCKED THE VIEW IN THE BACK...HELLLO HARP, THERE WAS A SPECIAL MOVING PROP AND A LARGE ORGAN. WE MOVED TO THE OTHER SIDE AND HELLO DRUMS, HELLO STUFF.. THIS IS COMPOUND BY THE LARGE CHOIR SHE HAS PERFORMING ON STAGE AS WELL. I REALIZED THAT THEY PUT ALL THE celebrities in the area with the best venue of the stage STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT . The music was lovely , howeve on a small stage she has at least a dozen woman " dancing" and singing around her. the stage was too crowded to really get a sense of her as a performer and it was under lit ( bjork in the dark..anyone) Perhaps this will play better on a larger stage but as a show was a fail and was disappointing. The fact I paid 350.00 when I could have paid less is crap. The management knew the seats were crap and should of price the show better. Also at that price perhaps the Talent should play to the audience spending the money and not not the "cute" people upfront. I get all the conceptually stuff but it is a show of the talents artistically ability to pull it off , with all the gear on stage and the choir ,the bad lighting, it was muddled... The price was just not worth it for me.
Rating: 5 out of 5by Sigurapakottur on 2/5/12New York Hall Of Science - Queens Biophilia Live was the best musical performance I have attended. I hadn't seen Björk previously, and I was expecting a "rock concert" vibe, but this is really something more on par with the Metropolitan Opera or LA Symphony in terms of pure quality. Björk has put together an astounding event, rife with professionalism and surgically precise musicianship. She never once missed a pitch, and her voice sounded identical to the albums. Still, even with all the technological wizardry and musical precision, Björk managed to make the whole thing feel very organic; her preparation and painstaking rehersal of the choir was so good that it became invisible, giving the whole thing a pagan campfire air. Two hypersmall criticisms: 1. the seats/standing are excellent (you are literally 10 feet away from the performers wherever you are), and Björk does a good job rotating to give everyone a view. That said, she relished a bit too much attention on the $1,000 seats. Yes, they are paying 10x as much as everyone else there and mayhap should get 10x more Björktime, but this seemed an odd élitist statement from an artist that doesn't strike me as such. 2. The sound system is beyond compare, but the undulating concrete walls in the hall of science occasionally turn everything into a bit of a sonic muddle, particularly when harmonies get very intricate or volume gets very loud during the encores. A small complaint though as sound overall was very good.

Rating: 5 out of 5 WOW
by princbruno on 2/5/12New York Hall Of Science - Queensonly one word can describe this show "WOW" .. Bjork sounded amazing and the NY Hall Of Science was an excellent venue for this show. I recommend you go to see at least 1 of these few performances remaining. It was unforgettable. THANKS SO MUCH BJORK..
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best concert I've ever been to
by Crappyshoes on 12/15/10The Apollo, Madison Square Garden - NYI've been to a whole lot of concerts and I have never seen anything like Bjork. We saw her at MSG at the end of the Volta tour, but before that saw her at the Apollo at the start of the Volta tour, the day Volta was released. Bar none the absolute best live show I have ever seen. And her opening act Spank Rock was also awesome (at MSG opener was Santogold before she hit). Perfection.
