You see that? That's Grace Jones' huge bendy head. Last month, she played at the Royal Festival Hall in London, for a one-off show and I'm really glad I went.
And before appeared in the flesh, a filmed version of Grace (huge, warped, massive) flickered on above the stage and started singing her forthcoming single. Pretty impressive, too, even if it wasn't a mile away from one of those 'effects' you get on apple mac webcams. Anyway - more bands should do intro-films (much like Devo do). There's my two-penneth.
You can read a review of Grace's gig here, if you like.
Edit (October 2008) - Turns out the film we watched his the video to her 'comeback' single - Corporate Cannibal.

For films as warmup acts, nothing beats The Eels, who last concert we saw, showed an autobiographical documentary complete with interviews and home movies. His dad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Everett
was a famous scientist who helped developed the theory of quantum mechanics. Deep stuff.
Aha - that sounds like the documentary he did for the BBC. I saw that, I think.
