Björk Sets Her Lasers On Stun At The Sydney Opera House!

The line, that wound its' way around past circular quay before the gates opened just demonstrated the multitude of fans who had waited years to see their favourite Icelandic songstress and were not do be disappointed!Having to stand up every so often as bums went numb on the steps of the opera house became somewhat of an obligatory exercise as we waited patiently for the blistering sun to disappear behind the closest building in proximity to Observatory Hill and then came the MC telling us not to take photographs but that didn't dampen anyone's spirits as NYC's Shy Child appeared onstage. They were, well, interesting but not really my cup of tea.The next half hour flew by as my girlfriend and I contemplated lining-up in the never-ending queue for food and drinks that seemed to disappear into those waiting infront of the stage for Bjork to appear. We timed how long it took a woman to get from the end of the queue to purchase her drinks and then decided very adamantly against it as she was still in-line as Bjork's band procession marched on-stage and took their places to the right just as the very woman herself bounced across the stage to stop in the centre whilst the introduction for the catchy Volta opener; "Earth Intruders" rung-out across the forecourt!Flares blazing and the crowd hypnotized by her singing I knew we were in for a very special night. A few quieter songs followed and "Hyper Ballad" exploded at the end with an almost remixed outro with green lasers flashing crazily about the stage and above the crowd into the beautifully temperate night.Then came the aggressor "Army of Me" with confetti tape falling from the sky in front of the stage and the lighting going completely berserk it was a sight to behold and an emotional overload came over me.Then came the closer "Declare Independence" with fan-blown confetti tape and in operatic finale style, we were treated to what Sydney does best in times of mass celebration; fireworks! The crowd erupted even moreso than during the aforementioned "Army of Me" and as it all came to close the band strolled casually offstage and the queen herself simply said "Thanks for tonight" and that was it.Purely phenomenal!
