i thoroughly enjoyed the show tonight, it exceeded expectations. some delightfully blissful moments especially in the first half of the show. the missus, who isn't a fan of sigur ros (she says they sound like whale mating calls) thought the show was really good too.
t'was the quietest, most respectful crowd i have ever seen at the club. jonsi came out to huge cheers and then kicked off the show with a solo acoustic number (eventually joined by someone on marimbas, adding occasional accents). you could have heard a pin drop. why can't all shows be like that?!? dunno if it's going to be as non-chatty tomorrow night, i suspect tonight's crowd had a higher percentage of fans/devotees/etc than tomorrow's show.
highlight for me was "tornado". on the album it semi-operatic, tonight it bordered on dance music. closest the crowd came to dancing all night.
if i didn't already have plans for tomorrow (tuesday) night, i'd consider going back for a second dose. if anyone here is on the fence about seeing this show - get off the fence, go to the club. it gets a strong recommendation from me.
