Bjork Live from Iceland. These shows were postponed 6 times with 7 different dates due to covid. That's got to be a record. Even Bjork herself had forgotten how many times on her IG updates. They were actually announced after the first Covid wave and were due for August 2020 as Iceland had avoided getting hit, the only gigs by a major artist to happen anywhere in the world. I had had the Faroe Islands basically to myself, and flew into Iceland only for the shows to be canceled the very next day as covid finally hit the island. In the end the shows went ahead 15 months and many more cancelations later in Oct/Nov 2022, still one of the first set of gigs to happen worldwide in 20 months. This is the 2nd of her 4 shows at Harpa on Oct 24th 2021.
(Added to that, my first trip to Iceland in 2011 Bjork had played 4 shows during the 11 days I was there but whatever way I tried to adjust the trip, I wasn't able to catch her. So, after all that, this was a pretty special moment.)
