I attended this concert. The interplay between Bjork, the mixer/synthesizer guy, and the orchestra was fantastic. When she came out, Bjork sort of botched some of the vocals during the first 2 songs. Then she took a short break, came back and belted out vocal masterpieces like the one in this video. At the end of the filming, they came back out and re-did the first song with Bjork's warmed-up vocals.
3:56 . the climbing up when she said emergency is pitch perfect, and the vibrato at the end of the word when she got to the last note of the word was perfect. That was the worst description i've ever given anything.
i was at this gig in 1998 and it's in my all time top 5 gigs ever (and I've been to 100's). She nailed this song and her reaction at the end confirms she knows it. There is an official DVD which came out in 2001 of the whole gig which I was so happy to find a copy of in HMV St Albans. Thank you.
This is my all time greatest love song ever - simply beautiful. I have to say that the live version beats hands down any recorded one i've come across so far - absolutely sublime.
i love her for many years. i cannot fathom my life without her music. it would have been a much different line of fate. she is my serendepitic serenity
everybody saying that Björk cant sing needs to open up their ears. She dont sing false and She has the best voice and She makes super wonderful music that always gets me to heaven. and no matter what you write She is the Best.
"One of the earlier DVD releases was recorded in Cambridge, 2nd December 1998, featuring The Icelandic String Octet, and Mark Bell (LFO), a very close concert, balancing the abstract electronics by Mark Bell, the strings from the octet with her beautiful voice." Perfect.
Forget every song in the world. Hunter + Jóga + Unravel + Bachelorette + All Neon Like + 5 Years + Immature + Alarm Call + Pluto + All Is Full Of Love (1999 version) = the greatest experience you will ever have. Jóga is by far the greatest song on the planet. This version is incredibly beautiful, 99% because of the falsetto vibrato at 4:02. Thankyou, Björk.
o que e bjork? pra mim e um ser magico que vive em todas as dimensões ,e sabe sentir o prazer em coisas simples e canta o que ve e o que acredita,consegue levar as almas mais sensiveis pra lugares lindos com suas canções,bjork na realidade não tem desrição pois uda como as estações mais sempre é essencial e magica.bjork você é uma grande sabia mesmo sem a conhecer eu sinto isso e posso entende-la.
the whole show was very good. This aired on Trio if I'm not mistaken--I think the accompanyment is the Icelandic String Quartet (or something close to that. )
Could someone tell me what she's singing in 4:13? She does that line more often... and I have no idea what she says or what it means. Wonderful performance, by the way. I love this song.
This was a filmed-in-studio date, not a concert date? Was this why the audience seems a bit, well, shy...? Anyroad, this song is wickedcool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love so much how she smiles at her orchestra and they are smiling. This is so incredibly beautiful.

I love to listen to her when i'm stressed out her voice has a way to calm me down
i love the way she changes the song she sings everytime. perfection indeed.
superb performance of this song...the best one yet!

wow this was really nice it is slower and calmer its very beautiful. Bjork rocks loved her dress.
One of the better vocal performances we will ever see. Glad I saw it!
How can she be so wonderful? She is truly a living miracle! She should live forever.She is one of the greatest singers of all time!

I love the song...great performance from Bjork!
High art. Literally. Hugely emotional and the highest possible level of artistry in songwriting/arranging and performance. She's one of a kind.
Superlatives^100 + some more. Absolutely awesome. Perhaps the best female vocal ever in existence imo !
The most beautiful version of Joga I've ever heard! Imagine BEING THERE, damn those people were lucky
I am coming here everyday, just to have this blast of bjork! Perfection Exists!!!!
amazing singer. real versatile
Her epic face at the end. Haha. She's awesome.
This song is so beautiful.

Mamma mia!More than beautiful.I love Bjork.

They gave her the Polar Music Prize which is the equivalent of a nobel prize but for music.
2011 and still amazing......none of these so called women artist aint got nothing on here.....beautiful..when she smiled..OMG
this is the most beautiful song I ever heard
her voice is always perfect....sound likes the album basically....so good!!
Just fucking sublime...she is probably the only "pop" musician of our time who truly deserves to be called "an artist"
she sounds EXACTLY the same wen shes live
that is very rare
god, bjork is just so, indescribable
the whole show was very good. This aired on Trio if I'm not mistaken--I think the accompanyment is the Icelandic String Quartet (or something close to that. )
oh. my. god. there is nothing else to say.
i love bjork.
absolutely beautiful....i saw her in plymouth and it was an incredible experience
She looks and sings like an angel :3
Simply UNBELIEVABLE.
this is the best performance of joga
just magic! endless thanks....
despite the lack of a de-esser...
This performance is compelling, she is made from pure talent.... WOW
this is the best joga performance ever simply awesome
Her hired musician's seem to really enjoy her music. Which is rare.
Oh my god, she is freaking amazing!
so touching it makes me cry.
at 3:45 you can see the two female voilin players softly smile and I think it is because of how amazing bjork is.
good god, that was beyond perfect
3:39
I'm speechless
It's incredible. I get it too... I love it
wow... i've never seen her sing live... she's the real deal.
wow, it seems that the end was improvised. and it was very very good.
Sublime...the Goddess...
i had goosebumps from 3:39 to the end. incredible performance!
"you don't have to speak I feel emotionallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll"
gives me chills and swells my soul
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BJORK HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
This performance is like a cure for depression
Me pone la piel de gallina solo escuchar esta cancion
powerful indeed...
Wow, I'm speechless
Nice version. A little slower than the record but I appreciate the variable.
...Bjork was like 'yeah!' at the end! :0)
Gave me chills..
#Björk You are heaven to me
just perfect
there was a magical moment right at 3:44 and on!!
i like this version of joga
@albicha I was always wondering what that part meant... cuz like you said I've heard it in her other songs just at like different tempos and stuff....
03:48 my favorite part
She is so sweet...
Does anyone know if there is a recording of this or a version of it on any available CD? I'm desperate to have it ......
love it
beautiful

Wonderful performance, by the way. I love this song.
Beautiful :)

Anyroad, this song is wickedcool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
absolutely
Does she say "Fuck!" at the very end? I know I sure did. This woman is amazing.
yeah!
I wish I was there. More than anything.
Hi, what is the title of the DVD? I would love to get a copy of it. Thank you!
@bobsagart
Me too, genuinely touching. Thought I'd miss the beats too.
its actually alt sem hann sér, which means all that he sees or everything that he sees
How beautiful to heaaaaaaar
she do a mistake at the first chorus but this song stay the best ever of bjork
amazing
merci
6 star rating!? mind blowing
das ist allerding eine schlimme misskonzeption. Björk hat zwar einen eigenen Stil aber eine gewaltige Stimme
Kool Savas hat mich hierher geschickt, doch ich hab nochnicht ganz verstanden warum.
3:40-3:50 magic
Leonardo Vieira Targa I love that moment too
она фантастическая!!!
savas
hmm im not sure i like how she is drawign out the notes
i wish bjork was my mom
4:12 Alsemanche at its best!
wie kommt man von kool savas zu Björkt?? Bin echt neugierig
nahhh... it's just morphine.
ich bin wegen kool savas hier, hab grad 2pac gehört und für DAS hier tupac pausiert... ohh t
tupac vergib mir :)
ich danke savas
Wegen ESSAH hier ! :D
savas hat wohl grad abgespritzt...
this one is particularly excellent.
but find a bad bjork song and i'll eat my hat.
den anfang hat doch der herr bushido geklaut oder?^^
They should have given the nobel prize to her, forget the EU.
