Sigur Ros

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's got Hoppipolla, but also several of their other most melodic songs on it - Saeglopur, Milano, that type of thing.

Coldplay were obviously listening.

Do what I'm doing and leave Foals for Lisbon. 

ZZ Top > Ronnie Spector > Sigur Rós for my Friday night

 

Fair point, I keep forgetting they're playing NOS for some reason so that's an option I'll have to consider... until they clash with FJM or Courtney Barnett

OR miss the last 25 mins of savages after you've bust a gut to get up there after Foals. 

(I've been looking at this all week and finally admitted defeat this morning). 

I think I might join you in defeat Scruff . Sprinting all that way to The Park to catch just over 1/2 of their set isn't really worth it!

Anybody know the Primavera set list from last night?

No Hoppipolla.....

the rest of it, though!

i'm assuming since they played the same setlist as the other night that it was once again just the three of them on stage without any accompaniment?

This would make me sad. Its a good setlist, but I do like Hoppipolla and think it'd be a great moment at glastonbury.

[russycarps]

No brennisteinn is a surprise too. Hope they play it at Glastonbury

[Titters]

I've just had a flashback to when I saw Jonsi a few years ago, and the chap stood next to me 'singing' along enthusiastically. 

I hope I don't meet him again for the full SR show.

They were really good, however if you've seen them before with the orchestra you may well feel they're not quite the same act without it.

I think it was a pretty similar setlist to what they played at the rehearsal studios for their fans, so probably similar to what they'll play on JP. I saw Hoppipollla live before and it wasn't that good live - and highly unlikely they'll do it as a 3 piece. Popplaggio really is an incredible way to end the set though.

Gutted about the lack of orchestra/whatever but I'm still very excited, and if they stick with that setlist then we're on to a winner. Still find it odd that there's just one new song despite them advertising it as trying out a bunch of new material - maybe they realised that that + just the three of them probably wasn't the way to go with festival sets

[russycarps]

I really hope they play I gaer for us.

It's quite simply bloody brill.

[FloorFiller]

@arcade fireman how did songs like Staralfur, which on record has huge orchestration, come across without it? Find it hard to imagine

[ThomZorke]

Having seen them with orchestration, I clearly felt something was missing. It was an impressive show and it was still really good, but it could've been better with orchestration.

Visually, this may have been the best thing I've ever seen. Incredible visuals fitting perfectly to the songs. Really can't describe how beautiful that was...

I'm with you there, one of their best tunes IMO.

Yep, as much as I love the soaring crescendos, Brenn offers something different and gets the crowd moving.

Stroking their chins with the other hand?

Oi oi...back in your cage, Gonzo!

@russycarps - one of my friends at work was one of the lucky 300 or so who went to the warm-up show in Redditch (still can'r believe they played there - I live a few miles away and it's a hole), so I have an idea of what they've been rehearsing. Though I would love to see it too, I don't think they've got I Gaer in the arsenal for this tour

Damn your friend got lucky there. 

Shame about I gaer, it's always fun to watch the unaware crap their pants when the song kicks in properly after a minute or so!

I must have heard it 100s of times and it still jolts me when the drop comes!

She was really lucky! The fact that it was in Redditch made her absolutely convinced it was a wind-up, even when all of the confirmation details were emailed. I told her that no way would anyone bother with that degree of detail for a troll! She said they were amazing - just the three of them.

Though my least favourite (but still excellent) incarnation was their most recent, with about 9 on stage and no Kjarri (  ) I do hope they have at least a little help. I can't imagine them pulling off Starálfur with just the three of them...).

Haven't seen them since they were road testing some of the Kveikur songs pre-album release, so pretty excited. The JPT will be where the beautiful people are...

Presumably you'll be wearing your trademark 'Yes, it is me. I am russy' t-shirt so we can all pay appropriate homage...?

How does a three piece work? No keys?!

[Field Commander Jefferson]

A lot more is programmed, drummer sets stuff off I think??

 

Either way massively looking forward to this one

duno why but i thought it was gonna be the three of them playing and that's it - nothing else going on - which is why the idea of Staralfur seemed odd. if they've got the strings programmed or whatever then it's not ideal but better than nothing i guess

[FloorFiller]

obviously don't watch if you're looking for a surprise when seeing them, but this looks incredible. any doubts i had about the three piece pulling it off gone in one fell swoop. they are gonna destroy the JP tent

Looks great - roll on Citadel!

It still sounded pretty great. The set they've picked works well as a three piece, but it limits them somewhat too IMO.
