Amanda Palmer - Apocalypse Please - (Muse cover) - New Years Eve 1-1-09

Amanda Palmer starts her piano cover of "Apocalypse Please" by Muse at her late New Years Eve show at the Bowery Ballroom in NY.

She stops playing when she realizes her microphone isn't working and then restarts the song 2 minutes in the video.

You can't hear because she doesn't have a microphone, but Amanda replies to "Well, the piano sounded great" by saying something like "I thought it sounded good too!" right before people laughed.

She's joined on stage by the Danger Ensemble.

HAHA! That must be a compliment to Amanda!

Unfortunately Youtube has pixelated the video (by stretching it out) so it isn't as clear as the original, so your remark isn't as backhanded as it may seem :-P

I've NEVER liked any Muse covers, but Jesus, Amanda Palmer <3 You freakin' genius :D Is there anything you CANT Sing?!?! :3

[SoaringMuse]

Amanda's voice isn't bad, Idk what you guys are talking about. Pretty good performance overall, I see she's imitating Matt's vocal style.
