“Dental insurance is involved in this song.” That was Tanya Donelly’s intro to Belly‘s hit “Feed the Tree” (“put silver where her teeth had been”) Wednesday (8/10) at Bowery Ballroom, their first of two nights there. Mind you, in front of a devoted crowd happy to be seeing a band that broke up 20 years ago, just about every song in Belly’s 20-song, two-set “An Evening With” night was treated like a hit. We got most of the favorites from the band’s two albums, Star and King, along with a couple b-sides (like “Spaceman”) and new songs as well. The night ended with Star‘s final song “Sway” and video of that, along with the setlist, is below.
Pictures from Night 1 are in the gallery above. Belly play Bowery Ballroom again tonight (8/11), which is sold out.
If you missed it, check out video of Tanya Donelly and Thom Yorke duetting on “Untogether” from Belly & Radiohead’s 1993 tour.
