Debut Tour

The Debut Tour was the first tour by Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk, and it mainly focused on her album Debut. She toured from 1993 to 1994. The tour was released on VHS and DVD as Vessel. A separate release, Debut Live, contains material from the 1993 MTV Unplugged performance, which features a much larger set of backing musicians, noted for their wide variety.
