The
Post tour saw Björk travel the world from 1995 to 1996 promoting her second album,
Post. However, the majority of these concerts were not recorded or preserved as Björk did not start having soundboard recordings until the
Homogenic tour in 1997. In 2002 when she was preparing collections of her live performances for
Live Box she had to rely on the audio of videotaped performances of the Post tour. The recording she chose was of a special free concert given on 27 February 1997 exclusively for members of the Björk
fan club. This show took place 4 months after the conclusion of the Post tour and was recorded at
Shepherd's Bush Empire in London. The first release of material from the Shepherd's Bush gig was on
VHS on 16 November 1998. Two songs were omitted from the tape, "
It's Oh So Quiet" and "Sweet Intuition", the latter a
Post-era B-side which had its only ever live performance at this concert. Three years later on 19 November 2001 the concert film was
re-released on DVD. When
Post Live was initially announced, it contained 18 tracks including every single song featured on the Shepherd's Bush DVD (albeit with a few of the performances swapped out for promotional TV appearances) and a performance of "It's Oh So Quiet" from the French TV program
Taratata. When the CD was finally released however,
Post Live contained only 13 tracks, omitting "
Venus as a Boy", "You've Been Flirting Again", "
Human Behaviour", "Crying" and "
Violently Happy".
Live Box was released on 18 August 2003. The video of
Post Lives "It's Oh So Quiet" is featured on the bonus DVD found in the box set. The stand-alone CD edition of
Post Live was released the following year, on 1 June 2004. ==Reception==
