PJ last night in Boston, and the patron-gathering DC photo I forgot to post
Hello loves.
Time to dig out my old homage to The Peej from 2008. Taken in the bus parking lot of Glastonbury by my assistant Beth Hommel.
Here’s the OG….
The show was transcendant.
Here’s some pix:
Watching other (great) artists reminds me who I am, what music is for, what it is we can collectively do when we get it right.
She was ablaze at MGM in Boston last night. Theater Peej, fully embodied, treating us to a 2 hour piece of theater starring her and her band of gentlemanly men men.
She absolutely slayed it. I’ve seen her a half dozen times on three different continents (starting in something like 2001) and man it’s such a goddamn pleasure watching her dig deeper into her craft every tour. Like Nick. Kintsugi artist. Art person. Stage knower.
Nobody else gets to do what she does. Björk, kinda. But truly, nobody in a rock venue gets to command this kind of focus from her audience on the bare and unapologetic back of her massive and unbelievably personal, impersonal, gorgeous, deliberate, fleshy, cold, weird and varied body of work.
There is fucking nothing on earth like PJ Harvey.
Also I’ve missed being in a town where I run into 14 people I know and have worked with when I go to a show. I am so happy to be home.
Also, parking was gonna be fecked since Post Malone was playing Fenway Park one block from the Peej at MGM so WE TOOK THE T.
If you follow me on IG, I posted a dumb story when Post Malone’s motorcade (with full police detail) drove by us. It was silly.
