Last week I mentioned I went and saw Sigur Ros at Alexandra Palace and it was Uh-mazin, so I wanted to follow up that mention with some sweet pics and a saaweet vid! Yeah the show was great. Opener, For A Minor Reflection are an Iceland based band as well and they killed it with an all instrumental set featuring guitar work reminiscent of Sigur Ros and Explosions in the Sky. Check em out here if you want: http://www.myspace.com/foraminorreflection ..After they ripped it up for awhile the Choir Boy and Co. finally hit the stage. They opened their set with an amazing rendition of "Svefn-G-Englar," followed by "Glosoli," and "Ný Batterí." "Gobbledigook" and "Hoppípolla" were in there too, but what really added to the show were the amazing psychedelic visuals, the sheet/wall of rain during some crescendo, and the confetti canons during the encore. Yes it was a quite a night and to give ya a good sense of it all here are some nifty shots I nicked from another blogger who likes to be referred to as crazybobbles, theres also a couple of my own as well...So thanks for the pics bobbles it was indeed a hot gig!
And just for good measure heres an awesome vid of "Svefn-G-Englar," with good sound quality as well:

while i thought this tour was pretty decent, the general consensus of the sigur ros fans i know was that it was a little disappointing, and that it paled in comparison to the takk tour. i think the poppy elements of Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust take away from the introspective nature of sigur ros which i really loved and respected in their earlier albums.
