DecayToDeath Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 1 hour ago, Derek™ said: Of course there's a little bit of inflation to consider over the last 11 years, but that's a huge spike. I'd love to see them for $60, holy shit. A few weeks before Radiohead, in April, I'll be catching Sigur Rós – those were $75 after fees, and I thought that was pretty hefty. I haven't seen either band live so I'm excited, don't get me wrong, but my bank account certainly doesn't share the same level of enthusiasm. I'm still wondering if it's worth it to see Sigur Rós because of the price. That being said, I'd see Radiohead for that price no doubt.

My guess is you really have to love this band and be very familiar with their music to enjoy them live, otherwise it's pretty damm boring. P.s. this is my opinion so no need for anyone to get all crazy DecayToDeath, nancy_raygun, lampwick and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigur Ros on this past tour was ten times better than Radiohead on the King of Limbs tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy [and own] everything they've put out but I only legitimately "know" 3-4 records really well. But considering the visuals and general experience, I think they'd put on a great enough show for it to be worth the $70. My coworker and his better half - who was completely unfamiliar with Sigur Rós - made an 8-hour drive up to Portland to see them last year. They both said it was amazing and borderline life-affirming. Coming from someone who's never listened to them before, that's quite the statement. I've heard nothing but overwhelmingly positive reviews of their live shows – minus youspinmeround's, up there – and have seen enough footage to suspect a $70 price-tag will be worth it. At least for me, anyway. But I digress. This thread is for Radiohead, no Sigur Rós. I actually have no idea what to expect from Radiohead, live. But for $120 I'm expecting to leave the venue with a new outlook on life. DecayToDeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untiliwakeup Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 I've never heard anyone call sigur ros live boring before. Life still can surprise you. skycriesmary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I was a little disappointed the first time I saw Sigur Ros. Wouldn't say boring, but underwhelming. I had also saw Jonsi a few years before and his show was so damn good, my expectations might have been a little high. When I saw SR in September, they were quite good.

I had a period where I downloaded a bunch of bootlegged live shows and there wasn't a dud in the bunch. Set lists when they headline are usually loooooong too from what I've seen. Judging from recent setlists ~23 songs which is pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, this last show was different as it was just the three of them playing. No string section and stripped down guitars. It worked beautifully, as did the jaw dropping visuals. You're in for a treat. As well as with Radiohead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Sigur Ros a half dozen times since around then, they're great... the last time I saw Sigur ros, this most recent stop in Vancouver as a three piece, was THE BEST concert i have ever been to, hands down. I'd put radiohead and Tool as my two favourite bands, with sigur ros somewhere in the top 5 or 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy_raygun Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Anyone know if they're touring with an opener, or will it just be Radiohead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I can't really imagine them as a live act as a 3-piece. I could be wrong, but doesn't it sound kinda bare and thin without all the keys/organ/synth stuff that Kjartan used to add? I feel like he was such an integral part of that band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 When the tour this year hits the US would someone be so kind as to post a photo of the merch available? A coworker wants to know what will be available. Thank youuuuu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
