Bjork tour - buy tix for NYC now, or hope for a D.C. dat

[Vas Deferens]

she skipped DC two times after 1998
 
 2001 with the orchestra (vespertine tour)
 
 and
 
 2003 the one with the fireworks

I wasn't in the D.C. area for the shows in 1995 or 1998.
 
 But now I sorta wish I'd roadtripped up to NYC and caught one of her shows earlier this year (I think she did three shows?) in venues MUCH smaller than Madison Square Garden.
 
 Ah well...

Yep,
 
 Radio City, United Palace, and the Apollo...
 
 I think I said it in a post earlier this year after it was confirmed she was coming stateside and would play coachella..."you have to go to Bjork, because she seldom comes to you."  
 
 The most dates she's played in any particular 12 month period since turning solo 15 years ago is 45 WORLD WIDE, and that was in 95, since then it's usually in the 30 show range including festival appearances.  
 
 Now with another child it's only going to get worst though she's playing quite a few more than I expected this time around.
 
 But whatever the effort you have to make to go to her will be richly rewarded, and despite the cavernous space at MSG she'll turn it out, always has always will.

Yep, I suppose I learned my lesson there.

there will not be a DC date
 
 every time she tours, she plays places that are bigger than she is here
 
 rather than build on the audience she has here, at the right size venue, she keeps skipping DC, presumably to wait until this market catches up with everyone else
 
 trouble is, as she gets bigger here, she gets bigger everywhere else and then the whole problem moves up in scale
 
 I think she would solve this problem by playing here & working the market, but it's not up to me

But there's a market for her in Atlanta? And Detroit?

A GA PIT ticket for this show at MSG (at face value of course) has just become available, PM me if you're interested.

Somebody has grabbed it.  Thanks.

Well I went to the Detroit show last night. One of the best shows of my life. Very emotional, strong vocal performance from Bjork. M.I.A. was the SHIT! She blew it up rightly...a lot of love was shown.
 
 I got a copy of the setlist, and scanned it in for you guys.
