Quality/Performance: 89/100

As Ive said before, for some reason the most incredible concert recordings seem to come from this venue. This one is no exception. You can hear its in a big hall but the way the sound fills the hall is so beautifully done as to get a feeling of depth, weight and the sheer power from this music. A wonderfully different sound from the last 3 posts. We see Milano and Daudalagið making a first appearance. Milano in particular a nice surprise as it isn't listed on the notes. I really love the 'background' singing on Milano that Jónsi does. I can't remember if its unique, the way he does it here but the way he ends Milano is exquisite. Also there is a very interesting extended version of Daudalagið here with the intro lasting 4.20!

For some reason every Sigur Rós show from this venue has been spectacular, with this one being no exception. The whole concert is exception although sadly its let down by 'soft clipping' of the bass drum. With a bit of imagination you can pretend you are there at the venue and the bass drum is mic'd a little too loud...which in general works! with the exception of Lagid i Gaer in which the bass is very noticeably clipped. Don't be put off though, the sound itself is wonderful. In fact of all the various 'sounds' from these audience recordings this is my favourite type. Im wondering if some of those lovely DPA mics where used?
