Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls performed recently at the Orange Peel and there are reports that she put on one hell of a show.

This story reviews a subsequent show, but mentions Palmer’s “topless rave outro” in Asheville:

Unfortunately, because this was an early show at the 9:30 Club, the set had to wrap up by 9:00 to allow the crew to change the stage over the the late show (Eagles of Death Metal). Palmer was forced to omit some of the songs from her setlist, and judging from reports from earlier shows, D.C. missed out on some pretty fun gimmicks and covers. If anyone was expecting a replay of her topless rave outro in Asheville, they left disappointed. But they were probably the only disappointed ones in the whole crowd, lost in the collective euphoria that the best shows can elicit from all in attendance.

This YouTube video from Palmer’s Asheville show looks to catch some of the nakedness:
