Sigur Ros

I saw them tonight at the Chicago Theater (lovely venue).

Amazing.

I sat very still and drank it all in, and wished I were in thousand other places at the same time, while still being able to hear the music.

Hearing that sound live is one of the better things in life. Hearing that sound and being able to drown in it, completely sober, is also a wonderful thing. I can still feel it thrumming in my bones and swimming in my eyes and tingling on my lips.

Reflective, absorbent, full of light.

i'm seeing them here on Oct. 1, and i really can't wait. yours is another in a long line of glowing reviews. i'm savoring the anticipation.

in my own concert experience tonight, i saw Dead Can Dance, which was also breathtaking and utterly absorbing. it's something i waited 15 years for, and i wasn't disappointed. if there's any way you can get to see them, i highly recommend it; best show i've seen in a long time.

I have ALWAYS wanted to see them. I got to see Mogwai a while back and they're beautiful, but SR is beautifulest.
