Not that I can pick a favorite, but this one incorporates a lot of what I'm about... the unusual, leveraged to full effect. This whole concert DVD is full of amazing moments.
So Diki, who/what is it? No name, no download...surely it cannot hurt to post some I.D. on the link???

Dennis, all you need to do is click the link and the title will pop up even BEFORE the track plays. You don't HAVE to listen if you don't want to. Sometimes, a surprise can be nice. Who knows? Perhaps someone actually listened to this rather than going 'Bjork? The weird dressed girl with the weird voice?' and passing on a great listen...
My hands hover over the Command-W (close window in mac-speak) every link I click, but most times, I'll at least find out if it is WORTH a listen.
Thing is, you start threads with a LOT of embedded video in them, they can take quite a while to load. Just providing the link speeds up the page load...

I didn't think I'd like it, but I did. And I'm really old. DonM
Yep well now that I know it was bjork, I am even happier I did not click
I do understand what you said Diki, but then you are usurping the right of the person to decide for themselves if they want to listen or not. When you also note briefly the artist, or what the link is about, that at least gives the looker the option.
Plus I just think it is plain courteous to give a brief explanation.
Best thing about the links is the other video links to the side of it. You can go on a journey of discovery that will take you to places you NEVER expected to be if you just start clicking on them. I hope you perhaps had a listen to a couple of other Bjork videos if you had the time. I can highly recommend just about ANYTHING from that concert, and if you like the live versions, going back and checking the originals can be an eye-opener.
I've been fascinated with her since the mid eighties and the Sugarcubes. One thing you can NEVER say of her is 'I've heard THAT before!' and, after forty years in the biz, that's SO rare...

I have so many favorites but one I really like is Beth Hart singing her composition and playing piano on "I Leave The Light On". I first heard her singing with Jeff Beck. And I love her music. She is like a modern incarnation of Janis Joplin.
or for more fun covering Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love"
