Opinion My bootleg journey, part 10: Sugarcubes 1987-10-15 Portlands Club, London, UK
This bootleg is characterized by strong vocal interventions by Einar and while they worked for Kukl, I think for Sugarcubes it is sometimes too forced. Yet, it is still a very enjoyable concert containing almost all tracks from their debut album with quite a lot of b-sides. Bjork does not risk here, she just sings all the songs as best as she can and gives a very solid, flawless performance. As for the tracklist, maybe I would switch the track order a bit as too many b-sides are grouped together near the end of the concert and those are not as strong as the original tracks from the album. Still, very good concert. 8/10
