Amanda Palmer

There is definitely nothing like an Amanda Palmer concert. I've been a fan of hers since her Dresden Dolls days, and she's only gotten better since then. I'm also a fan of her husband, the author Neil Gaiman, and I can see why they fit together so well.
I'm not sure how I would classify her music, other than incredible. She always puts on a great performance, and this was no exception. "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" is one of my favorite albums, and her performance of "Astronaut" was incredible. I get that she's not for everyone, but I can't help thinking that the people who don't "get" her really don't know what they're missing.
She has such an energy in her live shows that I can help but feel bad for people who don't see her live. Every concert is a production, a work of art. Each individual live performance is like a unique, one of a kind album that you'll only ever hear just then, and it's beyond words. I really can't think of any other way to describe it.
If you ever get a chance, you need to go see one of her shows. Even if you've never been a fan, I think you'll change your mind afterwards.

It was so much more than a concert. It was at times extraordinarily theatrical, and at other times, she would speak to us so genuinely, authentically, she whisked me off to a world where she and I were sitting alone, sharing our lives stories, stopping periodically to make art. Just wow. We’ve never personally met, but we’re friends now, we love each other. I know this because of the way she revealed herself to me, and the way I wanted to reveal myself to her. On the ride home, SHE inspired me to talk openly about my own trauma, with a personal acceptance, in a way that I’ve never before achieved. It was a small moment in the car, in the way home. I doubt anyone noticed. I felt it, though, it’s still with me today, I keep running her words back and forth in my memory, and I’m happy today. Her sad show was a release. One I hadn’t realized I’d needed so badly.

Amanda Palmer always shows her dark side, and by collaborating with Edward Ka-Spell the darkness became blinding. The trio on stage created a melodic trippy vibe that at times felt a bit like a horror movie.
They threw in a couple of Dresden Dolls classics, playing Mrs. O, toward the beginning of the set and finishing off the night with Half Jack. But, the spotlight was equally put on Edward, so if fans were hoping for a performance full of Amanda's "hits", they may be disappointed.
However, Amanda fans know that every time she comes around, she will be bringing something new and different to the stage... unless it's a dolls reunion.
And even at a dolls reunion, there will be something new. Her creative juices are always flowing!

amazing. incredible gig. I know Amanda Palmer from the days of Dresden Dolls, but never seen her live. I do have most of her albums - but I did not know what to expect from a live gig. The gig was an ultimate experience of beauty , darkness, brutality and deep sadness - all package around a gentle and charming delivery with plenty of dark humour thrown in. Amanda gives her audience everything - real part of her - and was over more than 4 hours !!! Only her, with a piano and ukulele - and huge personality and voice.
Will definitely go again to any possible gig of her in London.

Every detail of the performance was there to make you feel at home with your friend, who needed to vent and to be listened to, needed someone to cry and lough with. And I did, so as dozens of people around me.
It was a very personal, strong, feminist and incredibly inspirational recital, which is an absolute 'must go' for women across the world.

The set with Edward K-Spel was awful. Only one vintage Amanda song, and the rest was that inwar-looking, pedantic dirgery of their new collaboration album. Very disappointing. I give Amanda a lot of slack as an artist, but this was two hours wasted. Why can't she come to New York to do her own songs?

AWESOME..one of the great entertainers and truly amazing people making art.
emotional, funny, touching, spontaneous..you feel connected to this woman through her songs and her stories.
i am looking forward to the upcoming Dresden Dolls shows she mentioned :)

Simply.
Spellbinding.
Great venue, jherek bischoff was immense, Neil gaimen too.
She was funny, sad and poetic too.
....
The ambiancee and size lent itself to feeling like a house party, intimate and inspiring.

I am emotionally satisfied and full after the Amanda Palmer show "There Will Be No Intermission." God bless her for delivering this show night after night. It is charged and connects so many dots. Applause.

Just go and see her. She's a force. She'll probably make you cry. In a good way. It was my 4th time seeing her live and it gets better every time.
