sigur rós finished their month-long european tour with a phenomenal concert
last sunday in reykjavík, iceland. you can watch the complete 132 minute

review from the concert. in addition to amina, the band had a large icelandic
brass band with them onstage during the songs ny batterí, sé lest, hoppí

of all these musicians onstage assisting the band resulted in the most

sigur rós in laugardalshöllin, reykjavík

*****
"the best thing god has created"
sigur rós seemed to be in better spirits last sunday than when i saw them
last. their new album, "takk...", has done very well, both critically and
commercially. its tone is considerably lighter than that of their slow and
melancholic previous release, "( )". the band's mood might also be explained
by the fact that on sunday they held the most phenomenal pop concert ever to
take place in iceland. icelanders hardly ever get the chance to witness
seventeen musicians on stage at one time unless the band is icelandic – the
cost of travel and accomodations for foreigners is simply too high. this is
why it's convenient that we have a band as wonderful as sigur rós, and such
talented musicians to assist them on stage. the marriage of these musicians'
talents resulted in a truly unforgettable evening.
when a semi-transparent silkscreen separated the audience from the stage, i
began to suspect we were in for something special. the band members entered
the stage with the intro song "takk" in the background as the crowd watched
the enormous silhouettes of jónsi, georg, orri and kjartan appear on the
silkscreen. they launched into "glósóli", much to the crowd's pleasure.
with a roar of guitars in the second half of the song we were abruptly
introduced to the band's rock personality. a divine yellow light bathed the
screen and auditorium, and goosebumps creeped down my back.
the screen was pulled back and jónsi commenced attacking the strings on his
guitar with a bow. somehow, this wall of noise faded seamlessly into the
delicate intro of "ny batterí" from "ágætis byrjun" as a nine-piece brass
band played the horn intro. darkness pervaded the stage until pounding drums
burst into the song and bright lights blinked to the rhythm of orri's precise
but minimalistic drum beat.
the remainder of the concert continued in this dramatic manner. in nearly
every song there was a divine moment of sound or visuals: the auditorium
filling with smiling faces as the brass band playfully marched across the
stage during the end of "sé lest"; the extraordinary string and brass
arrangements of "hoppípolla / með blóðnasir" and "olsen olsen", and the
crowd's sincere, involunatry applause as they recognized the songs; the long
silence during the middle of "viðrar vel til loftárása"; the pleasure of
witnessing the band's synergy on stage and the ease with which they exchange
instruments; bassist georg playing drums while orri is busy playing on one of
the many keyboards on stage.
one of the concert's most exceptional moments was during last song before the
first encore, "heysátan", one of the best songs of "takk...". the four band
members formed a tight circle in the middle of stage, lit with one simple
spotlight. seeing the band so intimate after such extravagant precedings made
you forget there were five thousand other guests in the auditorium. the
massive stage had suddenly transformed into a cozy garage or basement and i
felt like a fly on the wall at a rehearsal of theirs. when the song was
finished i hesitated – should i applaud them back to the stage? wasn't this
the perfect end to a flawless concert?
the other concert guests had no such hesitations. they wanted more. sigur ró
s returned to the stage and played "hafsól", which first appeared on 1997's
"von" but has now been released as a reworking on the "hoppípolla" single.
the b-side to the "untitled #1" single followed, accompanied by an effective
video backdrop of white birds on a black background, sitting on a wire. as
the song floated on the birds came and went, resulting in a state of
timelessness. the song closed with the birds and orri sitting alone on stage.
orri played a simple but moving melody on electric piano. the crowd roared
with applause when the song finished, scaring the birds away so that they
flew off the wire in unison.
the stage emptied until jónsi positioned himself in the front of the stage
and thanked the crowd for their reactions – it was time for the last song,
"untitled #8" from ( ). the beat transition in the middle of the song
triggered the silkscreen to move over the stage and the enormous silhouettes
of the band, which a moment ago seemed so friendly, suddenly towered over us
menacingly. jónsi's shadow was most prominent, appearing to be alone on the
stage. the lonely hopelandic reminded me of the cries of a wounded animal.
when the madness took over and all the band members began to thrash the
instruments violently, their shadows merged with indistinct and ominous
images which appeared on the screen while powerful lights blinked randomly in
all directions. the chaos was ultimate. the tones and images became
unseperable in my mind and it all seemed like a wonderful nightmare which
would never end. but it did end, with orri smashing his drum set, and sigur r
ós had proved themselves to be one of the best bands in the world.
but the climax of the concert had occurred much earlier, in "viðrar vel til
loftárása". i have already mentioned the long silence before the line "við
riðum heimsendi". though this was particularly sweet, nothing could have
prepared me for the flood of emotions that came upon hearing jónsi singing
the line "the best thing god has created is a new day". in one instant all
the memories of my life appeared to me, just as is said to happen when we
die. i saw a white light which was not of this world, all the muscles in my
body contracted in one brief moment, and an indescribably blissful shiver ran
through me when the muscles all relaxed at once. a tear fell down my right
cheek and i had to tighten the grip on my significant other, sitting to my
right.
the person sitting to my left ran off shortly after this song and didn't come
back. i imagine the song touched him so deeply that he realized he had made a
mistake and decided to run down the stairs, into the embrace of his loved
one. just like in the movies. except it's real.
