This was my favorite song they did last night. All of the best songs live were her own that she adapted to the full band (well some have four parts on record, but this is the first time I saw her perform with them all), but I think the new songs sounded great live well. Killing type was a lot of fun. Berlin sounded pretty great. I really like her as the front woman. She has so much energy and her fans respond so well. Very energy filled room. I do think she shines the brightest when it's just her and a keyboard or a uke. It feels more inspirational.
I'm reading this thread and just sitting here wondering why the hell so many people have a problem with her having fans play in her band for free. If I could play an instrument well, I would jump at the chance to play with Amanda Palmer and I'm not even that big of a fan. She isn't exploiting anybody. There are no tricks or broken promises. People know exactly what they are getting into.
oof. good reason.
goes to show how good our so called "confirmations" are.
