I was simply blown away when I finally got to see Bjork perform live for the Volta tour recently... a 10-piece brass band is nothing to sneeze at, they filled in admirably on the songs that were originally recorded with strings.
Of course the venue could have had a lot to do with it: outdoors in Burnaby BC Canada (I drove up from Seattle), not hot, not cold, not windy or rainy, and show ended by 9:30 pm.
At some points it felt like being inside a dance club or rave, even though it was in this huge outdoor amphitheater, which was pretty amazing to me. Probably the most enjoyable concert experience I've ever had, and well worth the drive 3+ hours each way to see it.
