Takk...
It is really hard to start and try writing about last saturday. Not because it was a bad day but because it was a wonderful day (after we had escaped the Deutsche Bahn that is). We´ve spent the weekend in Dresden to see Sigur Rós, the town and each other.
It´s not worth writing about that incapable bunch of idiots that is the Deutsche Bahn. So when we finally arrived in Dresden it was already dark and late, late for a concert that starts at about 8pm. So we rushed to our hotel - which is a wonderful place, highly recommended. ;)
The taxi we ordered turned out to be a black Audi A6 which we thought was woah, cos we felt like VeryImportantPersons...well, at least I did. Haha.
So, eventually we got to the Kulturpalast, got our tickets and found our seats. Amina were just playing their last but one song and it sounded great. Also, I loved their dresses.
The lights went on when their show was over and we had some time to look at all the people as well as the venue. Everyone was very calm, relaxed, friendly.
We didn´t have to wait long. The curtain came down and the band went on stage. Applause. They opened with Glósóli.
I can´t remember in what order the songs were but they played I think all songs from Takk, Ný Batteri, Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása, Untitled 1. Of course, Untitled 8 was the closer as usually.
The fact that they played Viðrar... AND Untitled 1 is still unbelievable cos that were the two songs we REALLY had wished for. And it was awesome hearing them live.
Oh, btw. some morons HAD to clap their hands during that short pause in Viðrar.... Phew. But it was breathtaking, goosebumps-giving nevertheless.
I don´t wanna moan about people not paying attention but talking to each other (I couldn´t hear them - thank XXX - but it was enough to have her head in my field of vision all of the time. >:-( ) it´s just a waste of time ;).
Oh, here´s one of the pictures we took:
Yeah, what can I say that has not been said yet? Not much: Just the usual words: amazing, breathtaking, awesome (drummer!!), beautiful (especially Jonsí´s voice), calm, exciting...etc.
I´d love to see them again some time. Hope they come back. Until then, Biðin Gerir Mig Leiðan.
