Sigur Ros performed last night at Massey Hall to a full house and it was one of the best shows all year. The band had my attention for the whole 90-odd minutes they were on stage. The band started out slow, almost in complete darkness, and picked up the pace. They would again slow things down only to erupt and send waves of beautiful noise towards us. My favourite part of the night was the encore. Illgresi was beautifully performed and Gobbledigook, at the request of Jonsi, had us all standing up and clapping along throughout the whole song. For the finale huge plumes of confetti fell upon us like snow.

Hopefully someone recorded the show as i didnt take my gear with me.
