Bjork, from my (alyssa) perspective
The entire day leading up to the show I was so excited/nervous I was in the bathroom several times, if you know what I mean. On the way there I realized it had been some time since I was that excited for something.
When she came on stage I couldn't stop smiling. She opened with a new song "Earth Intruder's." The emotion and excitement was building. I thought, "I think I'm gonna handle this without crying, this is good." Then.......her second song was "Venus as a Boy" which happened to be the song I was singing while I was getting ready for the show....I lost it. Not only did I cry, but it was the ugly cry. I had to concentrate on stopping or I knew it would be non-stop the rest of the show. When she sang "All is full of Love" i cried more. Some of you might remember this was the song I walked down the isle to on our wedding day. It was full circle for me and Conor, Red Rocks is one of the first places Conor took me on my first trip to Denver and there we were watching the person perform that our equal love for got us talking 4 years ago.
The sound was incredible! it literally felt like all the worries of life fell away for the moment. But reality set in quickly after the show when Megan and I stood in line for the bathroom and a severly drunk girl ran in, dove under the sink counter to grab two huge industrial size rolls of paper towels, then ran back out pin-balling from wall to person to wall to the door to get out. This was followed by our long uphill walk to our parking spot which required walking in and out of a long line of cars. Try walking uphill with a ton of people in the thin mountain air trying not to inhale all of the car fumes.
Regardless, it was incredible. Words can not fully describe.
