The music that Sigur Ros produce is, as you say, open to interpretation. I find in me it stirs emotions and thoughts, so it’s quite introspective and evocative. That doesn’t really lend itself to standing up for three hours.

They also don’t have that many ‘stomping’ tracks. Only in their latest album do they have more than one. I almost suspect they may have deliberately set out to get a few more concert-friendly tracks. In the few concerts I’ve been to I’ve not been struck that Glasgow’s quite the place for such. I recall Jose Gonzalez having to point out that a sad song he was singing wasn’t really the sort of song to clap along to.

All that said, not sure the Royal Concert Hall, or similar, would have been a better venue for their music. Sigur Ros seem to occupy a strange space between concert band and sit-down-and-think music.

All said, I loved the concert, and was truly pleased to be in the same room as these guys, but it didn’t quite move me as much as I’d hoped.

Those quiet moments when we’re alone with their music are where Sigur Ros really thrive.
