Amanda Palmer was one of 2012’s most intriguing music stories. The Dresden Dolls singer used fan funding to bankroll her latest solo album Theatre Is Evil, as well as fan musicians to augment her live band. Now she closes out the year in New York City by playing Prince’s classic album Purple Rain in its entirety along with the Grand Theft Orchestra.
