They had been well warmed up be opening act Estere - the young lady-funk diva from Wellington who produced a wonderfully joyful, effervescent set of songs with just her MPC (called "Lola") for accompaniment, and some of the best on stage dance moves the Civic has ever likely seen. The diverse audience was on their feet right from the opening chords 20 Feet Tall, which brought Badu on stage, and they jumped up and down throughout the evening, eventually filling aisles, and creating a sweaty circle of gyrating hips and waving arms in front of the stage.
The Civic might be a seated venue, but that didn't stop plenty of the crowd from getting their groove on as soul sister Erykah Badu shimmied her way through more than two hours of RnB and hip hop influenced nu-soul from across her 20 year career. Erykah Badu remains the reigning queen of nu-soul
