Bjork - Live at Shepherds Bush Empire Reviews: The best Bjork DVD out there  2007-11-28 - Bjork is my life. I have all 5,000 (or however many) of her DVD releases and this one is the best. This one starts out deep and gets more uptempo as the show goes on. This show represents her dance-oriented electronic music which is what earned her the title 'Queen of Dance Music'.
Interesting  2006-07-25 - I have 3 other DVD's of Bjork - Volumen, Greatest hits and Cambridge. These are absolutely brilliant. I was dissapointed with Shepherds Bush. My reasons are:
1 The engineering of the sound is poor. Often I struggled to hear her voice over the instruments.
2 The choice of instruments - even though bold and daring did not pull it off in my opinion. I much prefer the previous arrangements of these songs. Mind you the use of the piano accordion was very novel.
Despite these negatives I still enjoyed this DVD. Had I not purchased the other Bjork DVD's I probably would have given this DVD a rating of 4.
The 3 Bjork DVD's I own are truly special and perfect in every sense.
Little more vocals please  2005-01-16 - Everything about this is great but the band is a little louder than Bjork's vocals at times. Nonetheless, this is a great concert. Bjork is in great form. The musicians are extremely talented: the percussionist (awesome), accordianist (very nice), pianist and electronic mixers. The songs are arranged exquisitely and the timing is nothing short of miraculous. Some songs really come alive like Violently Happy, Isobel, Big Time Sensuality, Possible Maybe. The stage is designed really well, the lights are awesome and set the moods well. More of the electronic stuff is towards the end. Bjork also does an awful lot of dancing which is really entertaining. Camera work is very good.
Simply wonderful...  2004-08-30 - Taped during her highly-evolved "Post" tour; highlights include "Headphones, "Hyper-ballad," & "I Go Humble."
DIRECTED BY AN IMBECILE. WHAT A WASTE...  2004-07-20 - Want to see close-ups of audience members, stagehands, and background musicians working keyboards, drums and synthesizers - while Bjork sings OFFscreen? Then you've come to the right place.
Could have been a glorious concert film, but unfortunately the moronic film editor seems to be interested in everything EXCEPT Bjork! Time and time again, while Bjork is hitting the high notes of an impassioned stage performance - the camera cuts AWAY from her and the lens is directed elsewhere.
Just what you always wanted: ENDLESS footage of fingers working the dials on an amplifier or a drum machine or some goddamned thing, while Bjork sings her heart out - OUT of camera range, that is.
This DVD will leave you exasperated and furious. I was ready to strangle the cameraman after viewing the $%&*@ thing. If I'd just wanted to hear her voice I'd have played the CD.
You should too. Save your money.
