2013.09.02 Roundhouse, London, UK [Re-Master]

Lineage: 88,200 / 32bit > Ozone 5 Mastering Suite > dither 16/44
Quality/performance: 100/100

The band really gave it there all on this one. Many smiles were exchanged during the performance. During E-bow especially you can hear Jónsi adding subtle embellishments which he only does when everything is very much on form and he is happy!
One benefit from a recording such as this is that you hear clearly many of the more subtle elements in the mix that are usually missed in the totality of the sound. The sound itself is very big and colorful which works very well in the context of the video and with closed eyes imagining you are there!
Superb mixing on this, the soundstage is particularly well done. There were, as expected no dynamics on the nriginal although it was far better than some. I corrected this to some degree. I didn't do much to the audio, mainly lifted the voice and audio and a few tweaks here and there.
Over all this is beyond superb hence the 100/100 score. It just sounds so much like how the experience of a Sigur Rós concert is. Wonderful

  3. Very nice indeed. I was lucky to see them 'warm up' at Jodrell Bank a few days before. Don't forget to check out the intro Alex Somers did for that. http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/tour/2013/20130830-jodrell-bank/ it makes a great intro to any 2013 concerts (followed by yfirborð).

  4. The sound was so incredible for this performance that it literally took my breath away on several occasions (and yes, that comes with tears too... I'm one of those Sigur Ros crying fans...can't help it!!) THANK YOU for this!!!! The concert was briefly on YouTube but was taken down quickly....hoping that the itunes full video stays for a long time.....

  6. When I watched the stream of this concert I couldn't help but think that Jonsi sounded a little tired, wasn't nailing the notes as consistant as he usually does. But maybe I was wrong. I'm going to DL and listen to this, maybe I just wasn't hearing right. Thanks for the show, Jon. Keep 'em coming!
