SIGUR ROS (London Wembley Arena, 21/11/13)

Well, that was far more awesome than I expected it to be. Wembley Arena is a big ol' aircraft hangar of a venue and that doesn't normally make for a particularly enjoyable musical experience, but man, if Sigur Ros didn't completely nail it tonight. Crystal clear sound, a strong setlist (albeit one that didn't feature Olsen Olsen) and spectacular lightning that incorporated truly judicious levels of lasers and strobe. And of course, there was Untitled 8, which could have sundered the heavens in the midst of its monumental cacophony. Almost as good as their End of The Road performance, which is really saying something.
