sigur ros - heineken music hall - 171108

in my next life, i want to be a ros, a sigur one, and also a photographer, and a (real) barman, a sailor, a last cigarette, and a tree, blowing in the wind ... a wonderous gig, from the start on, with the shadows of the drummer and singer on both hall walls, and jonsi lit by 4 spots singing in his guitar, sounding like a star in outer space ... next fljotavik followed by vid spilum endalaust, with a bass better than many pumping tunes, remix this one, techno boyz ... creating the same effect as festival, later in the set, but here with a faster pace ... in between hoppipolla, with the drummer going crazy at the end, and med blodnasir, with us singing, and some of the better post-rock available, overpowering those few who still wanted to talk ... icelandic tunes, cold with hot geysers bursting out ... they left after hafsol, the bass with drumstick song (and flute at the end) and gobledigook, with us clapping along, nananananana, and a confetti storm ... then the first encore, a piano, organ, jonsi just singing and a soft bass, the most quiet moment, you could hear a snowflake fall ... and m, this is how silent i, and we all, sometimes feel, with this song giving comfort, whispering that it is all alright ... last one the amazing popplagid, unleashing something from deep within, now complete with a snowstorm on the stage ... crazy, mad and beautiful ... when i go, take this song (the live version) and play it loud ... very loud ...
