If Bjork’s May performances in New York–her initial return to touring after nearly four years off–were perhaps somewhat timid and apprehensive, tonight’s Madison Square Garden performance was powerful, aggressive, and vocally outstanding. Bjork has regained all of her vocal chops after four months on the road and she seems to be relaxed, in charge, and having fun. Additionally, the band was tight and fluid, and the setlist has added a several new numbers.
My recording was made from the 5th row of the seating section, directly in line with the right PA stacks. As a result, the recording is clear, and rich in bass presence. I utilized the DPA uni-directional microphones so that much of the chatter behind and to my left is hardly noticeable. This is the same recording rig and similar position to the White Stripes MSG recording from July.

Thanks so much for posting this!! This was an amazing show but the acoustics weren’t perfect towards the rear of the stadium. I’m eager to listen to your recording for a different perspective.
um… “Army of Me” isn’t working properly :( otherwise AWESOME and flawless…
I checked all the uploads this morning, but I will check again. It may be that the server was busy (a big rush to download this new recording!). I’ll post here my results of downloading Army of Me.
okay, it seems to be working on the third try. wow…
I downloaded all tracks, txt and md5 without problem. I ran all tracks with the md5 and everything is verified.
Try again, you probably encountered a busy server while downloading Army of Me.
