Sigur Ros live

I.HATE.YOU.

:heyjealousy:

If anyone does go to see them, don't do what people did on Friday night and spend the whole gig ssssshhhhhhhing everyone else and being generally anal.

Great gig though. They played the whole of Takk..., opened behind a white screen with their shadows silhouetted on to it and closed with their encore behind it as well. The encore was absolutely amazing as they played just the 'pop song' (Track 8 from ( ) ) for about 15 minutes. Played for about 2 hours in total, never letting up once. Great band, definitely buy tickets if you can.

I will be the first to shush people if they are being rude. I don't think that's anal. At a show like this people need to sit down and shut up. Or at least shut up.

Watch the full-length Iceland show here. They said it's the most intense show they've ever done.

[joyfulgirl]

Somebody needs to watch this webcast of the Iceland show and talk to me about it. Seeing as how it's mindblowing and all.

I got my tickets this morning to the Denver show. Front row center mezzanine which imo are the best seats in the house.

Congrats on the tickets.

Criag Killborn show

 

[joyfulgirl]

Thanks.

The performance last night was beautiful although I don't think it convinced any of my friends that they should go to the show with me because it wasn't one of their mind-blowing moments but beautiful nonetheless. I guess they picked that song because it's short. I missed the orchestra. Better have the orchestra at the show in a couple of weeks.

Really wish they played something other than Heysatan last night.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Really wish they played something other than Heysatan last night.

Like I said, it was probably chosen based on the length of the song. Most of their songs are too long for talk show slots.

 

[impy13]

I just wanna say that I'm listening to AB again and, well...

Olsen Olsen just makes me smile.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I am so psyched for the show next week. First row mezzanine.

If you haven't seen the webcast of the Iceland show yet, go here now!

This sort of makes up for the fact that I'm missing them in Ft Worth next week.

Thanks joyful!

Ohhhh they closed with Untitled 8. That's definitely my favorite Ros song.

Olsen Olsen starts around 1:02 but you'll want to back up and start around 1:00. Or watch the whole thing all the way through 3 times like I did. It's just stunning.

Biiiiiiiiiiiiig news....

Last night, I sent my father the link to watch the streaming show from Iceland.

We were going to see Van Morrison on the 6th of March. We both knew we couldn't go to both Sigur Ros and Van The Man, so he opted for Van since it's his favorite artist of all time.

I got a call this morning saying he sold the Van tickets and picked up Ft Worth Sigur Ros tickets instead because he watched the stream and figured there was no way he could miss that. 3RD ROW. Oh man I am excited. I would MUCH rather go to the Ros than see Van.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Cool dad.

One week from tonight!

I'm more excited about this than Coldplay the night before, but then again I've seen Coldplay several times already.

I keep watching the stream joyful dug up and it's getting me really really pumped.

Thanks, EP. So then your expectations were met? Or not? Wasn't sure.

I'm as excited about Thursday's show as I have been about any show in the last year, and that includes U2.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I keep watching the stream joyful dug up and it's getting me really really pumped.

The band said that that was the most incredible and intense show they've ever done in their life so I hope it hasn't ruined me and created unrealistically high expectations. I still can't get over how great that show is! Everytime I click on the link I'm afraid it's going to be gone.
