Amanda Palmer is one of my favourite artists. She is passionate, alive, bawdy and vibrant.
I was so lucky to be able to see her in concert a couple of weeks ago. It was simply the best concert I have ever seen, and I can't imagine seeing anything to top it.
We bought the tickets before Christmas, and I was really nervous about going. Not only because of the idea of the crowd, but for the fact that I was going to meet some SGF friends in person for the first time. The concert was at the Sydney Opera House (the above clip is actually from the night that I was there), in The Studio which is a lovely small venue, very intimate. We were right at the front of the floor area which had been set with tables and chairs, giving the theatre a lovely cabaret style feel to it.
She performed with a string accompaniment and with the theatrical assistance of The Danger Ensemble, doing songs from her new album "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" and some Dresden Dolls work as well.
I wish that there was more footage of the night to show you. And more footage to relive.
