The Day I Watched Sigur Ros

It finally happened, one of my bucket list needs to be crossed off, I watched Sigur Ros' concert!

It was at Istora Senayan and since it was Friday (10th May), I decided to go there earlier. I arrived there at 4 PM. It was way too early because the gate opened at 7 PM. Oh well, better sooner that late. I met a few school friends there and we ended up watching Sigur Ros together. Got pretty close to the stage but a very tall white guy were infront of me and blocking my view. Thanks to the white guy's friend who let me stand infront of him, I got to the fourth row and got a better view.

The opening was very dramatic. The very wide and tall kind of translucent sheet used as a screen for the visuals and silhouettes. In the middle of the second song, the sheet fell down and revealed a stage with wide screen on the back and lots of lightbulbs stand scattered amongst the band member and additional players. The entire concert was very, very beautiful and mesmerizing. The music, the visuals,  the lightings, the atmosphere. This band really pay attention to the smallest detail. Best night of my life. Definitely worth the money and time. This is, truly, THE BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE.

I tried to get the setlist but unfortunately it's not my lucky day (read: I am too short to jump to grab it). So, I just take a picture of it from those who lucky enough to get it. Some of the lucky people even got guitar picks and drum sticks. Lucky bastards.
