PJ Harvey @ Beacon Theater

Around my birthday there is always a great show to be seen. Last year was the Patti Smith‘s CBGB’s finale show. This year I was treated to a sold-out intimate performance by PJ Harvey. She is easily one of the best female performers of our day and she verified that tonight. Without the support of a band she played about 24 songs and seemed very relaxed and jovial, sometimes engaging with banter from the audience. I am amazed at her range of music from the quiet songs found on her new album White Chalk to the distortion rock songs of “Man-Size” and “Snake”. She jumped from instrument to instrument and sometimes playing and looping several at the same time. The lighting and set stage made her seem like an angel and the set was a mix of new, old, hits, and unreleased songs. A memorable and brilliant performance.
