There were three support acts: Jherek Bischoff, who played bass (and some ukulele), a band which I think was called Simple Pleasures, the lead singer reminded me a bit of what Bono must've been like in the Dandelion Market days, and then Danish singer Lydmor, who blew me away. She seemed so fragile at first, but she delivered an amazing set, and later came back to duet with Amanda.
On to the main act - everyone in the band came onstage wearing awesome skull makeup in honour of Halloween, except Amanda, who turned up at the other end of the hall, with her ukulele, and started off with 'Creep'. Okay then!
As the evening progressed I heard a lot of songs that I didn't know, seeing as I only really know the Radiohead stuff and 'Theatre Is Evil', but I'll be sure to check out her back catalogue now.
Pictures below are courtesy of the lovely Ida Salomäki that I met outside the venue when it started raining, and she extended her umbrella to me, and we ended up hanging out together all evening in the front row :)
After the show Amanda signed autographs, and Ida and I tried to calm down a bit from an absolutely mindblowing evening. This was NOT my last Amanda Palmer show for sure :)
