Has rainbow-colored confetti ever fallen over Benaroya Hall before Sigur Rós played there last night? During “Gobbledigook”, the clap-along, sing-along, extra-drummers called from the wings closer of their main set, the foggy indoor air was met with technicolor spotlights and filled with paper showers. And then they came back for an encore.
If the symphony hasn’t already added special effects to the repertoire, they just might have cause for considering it.
Finally someone writes about this amazing show! Ive never seen anything more awesome in my life. I guess I can stop going to other concerts now.
Thanks! I should write a bit more — like all Sigur Ros shows I’ve ever seen, this one was entirely overbeautiful — but I need some processing time!
I was told that when Flaming Lips played at Benaroya, they also did the confetti thing.
that doesn’t surprise me; although it is really hard for me to imagine a Flaming Lips show at such a sit-downish venue. at least everyone stood up for the end of sigur ros.
