Live In London (DVD + CD) (2010)

"Since Spektor got her start by performing wherever and whenever she could, its no surprise that her live show is still one of the most compelling parts of her artistry. Shes come a long way from scrounging for gigs in basements and comedy clubs -- all the way to Londons Hammersmith Apollo theater, where she recorded this DVD/CD-set. With its immaculate but not oppressive sound quality, the collection gives listeners the best seat in the house. Her charisma shines especially brightly on Eet, where her masterful vocal leaps carry the song, and on Blue Lips, where a string quartet adds weight to the songs musings. The well-balanced set list works best on DVD, where viewers can see how ably Spektor interacts with her band and the audience on Apres Moi, Dance Anthems of the 80s, and Us. Die-hard fans will be particularly thrilled that the hard to find songs Silly Eye-Color Generalizations and Love, Youre a Whore are here. A document of the woman in her element."
