I been looking this song for years! I had this entire concert in an old, long dead computer and I lost it and I couldn't find it anywhere. 2:37 the audience reaction when Bjork starts to sing "Downtown" is priceless "wait a minute she is singing a Petula Clark' song?" :D

Thank you for post this gem!

She's the provocative notion that Lady Gaga strains to be... Say what you like about her voice. She makes every song her own...

[Dentakulator]

I was at this show - no microphones, no sound system. Magical.

@MTondeleo if i remember correctly, she didnt use a mike for these performances. that is why these performances were done in a chapel, to make the use of the acoustics.

This just became my favorite cover ever!

@cocacolaoso what the hell are you talking about? the song is over at 2:37. i don't hear any audience reaction there.

[Darkschneyder]

love her cracking voice

[MTondeleo]

This voice is one in a million. But where is the recording mike? Sounds like it's in the middle of the raucous audience a mile away from  Björk. Used to like Petula, but this one tweaks it up a notch!
