    I think that tecnology is giving us a new chance for know about music. It´s my first time watching an on-line concert, and its a very good expererience. Sigur Rós it´s one of the most original bands in the world, your sound its unique.
    I would like to see you live (really live) some day.

    pretty great. never done an itunes festival before but the video quality was fantastic, the sound was great and the show itself was amazing. I’m just bummed that i missed the first 5 songs, all the stuff from the new album. I got tickets to see sigur ros live in october and now i’m more stoked than ever.

  • Stuart Hobday

    says:

    The soundscapes Sigur Rós create are breathtaking. Jónsi’s voice is achingly beautiful. Varúð followed by Untitled #8 (Popplagið) was perfection. Beautifully emotional. Thank you

    iTunes Festival app worked perfectly on my iphone. I’m completely blissed-out by your amazing performance. Thank you so much, Sigur Ros!

  • Tom

    says:

    I watched online, and having seen the band twice I must say I wish I could have been there for real again! However, this stream was the next best thing. The sound was great, and everyone on stage seemed to have a lot of energy which made for another amazing show. Although all the songs sounded great, I think Brennistein and Kveikur stood out as some of the most powerful performances.
    Takk fyrir!

  • Valeria

    says:

    One of the best gigs I have ever been to!! Thank you so much. Managed to pick up tickets this morning and have just got home after going to see you at the roundhouse. Didnt know what to really expect but, I will certainly be buying your albums and looking out for seeing you again.

  • Andrea

    says:

    Your music is truly magical. Looking forward to seeing you live next month.

  • Melissa Navea Varas

    says:

    I just love you guys, you’re magical like no other band in the entire world. I really hope to see you in my country soon or later, I can wait for you, just come to CHILE someday.

    Thanks for makes me love all your music, the nature feeling, the beautiful thing of being alone, specially for all the little things you have done for all of us, the people who was waiting for something real, deep, and simple at the same time.

    You’re the home that I finally found, so thanks again <3

    Amazing gig……modern classical music is my description of your beautiful soundscapes. First time i’ve cried at a gig……cathartic.

  • Jack

    says:

    Douchebags – show the video of your show for those that weren’t able to see it live, idiots!!

  • Anne

    says:

    You guys are amazing!!! can’t wait to see you guys LIVE!

  • Shelby

    says:

    I’ve now seen you guys once live, and twice through internet streaming, this being the second time. The streaming experience isn’t the same as seeing you live, but it’s much closer than just listening to your albums. I also LOVED this set list in particular. Fantastic as always, takk!

  • pterry dactyl

    says:

    The sound was perfection – warm and immediate with every nuance present, every color audible. The camera work was sophisticated, interactive and captivating. The set list hit all the right emotional connections. The musicians merged to make music that was spellbinding – a living breathing organism at the nexus of the cosmos. Your attention to detail coupled with your obvious love for the music and your audience never ceases to amaze me! See you in Atlanta!

  • nic

    says:

    i’ve seen sigur rós five times in the last year, and their showmanship never falters. excellent sound and setlist. best part? i can watch it again later. great job guys, og takk fyrir!

    Thank you so much! Still hope to see you live… I’m glad that I’m finally saw you this way.

    It was a really amazing show as usual!
    It’s no problem to gett up early in the morning at 4:30 in order to watch your gig, yeah this is Japan.

    You guys are so generous to stream the live twice for free.
    It’s so lucky that everyone around the world can see the most magnificent live show in rock scean today so easily.

    And the lightings of the live at jodrell bank was really great.

    please make the DVD of this tour, I’m gonna buy it for sure.

    TAKK FYRIR from Japan!!!

    says:

    Amazing show I love it thanks Guys

  • Neil

    says:

    Takk for the best free ticket a human could wish for. It was a joy to see you play at the Roundhouse, a much smaller venue than I thought it would be. Thanks to the ticketing I managed to get very close to the stage as there was only a small amount of “proper” fans there although I think there must have been many more by the end of the night. The quickest 1hr 45mins ever!! I could have stayed another hour.

    Hurry up November with Nottingham and Wembley.

  • Miguel Ángel Pérez

    says:

    Great show!
    Watched it remotely.
    Since the video came live I’ve watched it nonstop.
    Really looking forward to see the show in Mexico in a month.
    Fantastic job, guys.

  • Megan

    says:

    Looked completely insane live! Still can’t believe I won tickets to see my favourite band, and couldn’t go! I loved the mix of older and newer songs and I desperately need to get tickets for Nottingham. I also really loved the lighting!

  • mdebrosses

    says:

    just perfect as usual !!! the new songs are really wonderful and I can’t wait to see you in Luxembourg. One question is it the tracklist for the whole tour ? Because it would be so amazing if you are willing to play Staralfur !!!

  • Anna Fernandes

    says:

    So beautiful and powerful last night. So glad to have experienced new and old songs I have loved for many years in the flesh. There were so many different moods and tones to be felt, in the sound the light show and visuals, altogether great lovely sensory moments. I was sat upstairs so overlooking the stage and the crowd and the floods of oveehead light, so to see the show from that scope was amazing. I LOVED the choice of exit song, I love this song anyway! Very intense and climatic sound – goose bumps for sure- and as always simply mesmorising to watch Jónsi perform with great emotion and heart last night.

    Thank you for the stellar set. The best things in life are free! xx

  • Kim

    says:

    Awesome last night. As amazing as the first time I saw Sigur Rós. Feel so lucky to have won tickets! Evocative, skillfull performance. Pure and inspirational. falleg hljóð. Tear jerking and overwhelming. Takk fyrir. My Icelandic is terrible but I’m sure you get the idea :) x

  • zoogal

    says:

    Even trough the stream, with a little help of projector and speakers, the world has stopped again we have all been very lucky to have experienced Sigur Ros live again. I have only been to one concert in person, but every one one them is an experience, even when streamed. Thank you for making it available on line for repeating moments of joy!

  • emily

    says:

    Thank you for your excellent performance!!!!! Although I watched it from i tunes since I live far away from London,in Greece , it was a very powerful experience for me ….You know very well how to make so atmospheric and unique music . OMG, I felt like I was there….
    YOU ARE PERFECT BECAUSE YOUR MUSIC “SPEAKS” TO OUR SOULS!!!!!! I
    ”ll try not to miss the opportunity to enjoy you in one of the upcoming shows somewhere in Europe.

    You traveled my soul in your melodic paths …
    Thank you !!!!!!
    Love you
    Emily

    Was fortunate to get into the show through the standby queue after waiting a few hours. Sigur Ros were wonderful as ever. The wrap around screen really suited the shape of the venue, and the setlist was a great collection of old and new; clearly the new songs were not as well known, but I think they could turn out to be amongst the best live numbers. Was impressed that the band played for almost a full two hours considering this was a free event. Took a few photos, do have a look: http://rdgsmith.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/sigur-ros-at-itunes-festival-camden-roundhouse-london/ – Takk!

    Even on my Iphone it was sublime.

  • Angela Heap

    says:

    I have been a fan for many years, and have had the privilege of seeing Sigur Rós live for the first time this year – in Manchester in March, and at Jodrell Bank last Friday. Sublime, perfect, epic, emotional… there are too many words to describe the experience! I watched live last night too, it’s great that this was streamed for free :) I can’t get enough of this band, I listen to a lot of different types of music & have been to a few gigs, but this band are by far the best in the world! Luckily I am seeing them again in Brighton later this year, & I can’t wait, thank you Sigur Rós for doing what you do, I hope you never stop :)

  • christina

    says:

    i absolutely love sigur ros. i’m from malaysia and unfortunately we’re not able to watch iTunes festival this year. such a bummer! REALLY HOPE YOU WOULD SHARE THE VIDEO WITH US ON YOUR WEBSITE/FB!! went to urbanscapes malaysia last year and your performance is still fresh in my mind. was the best ever!

  • Annette

    says:

    I am a new Sigur Rós fan. I was cleaning house while listening to the iTunes Festival and had to give this group my full attention. I had not heard anything so beautiful, especially Svefn-g-Englar. I am thankful I can continue to enjoy the concert on iTunes, share with family & friends while I comb the Internet learning about my new fav group. Because I don’t know Icelandic Jonsi voice is a human instrument. Aural ecstasy! Thank you!!

  • Felipe

    says:

    You are simply amazing, and your concert was just beautiful. Jonsi should try being more charismatic with the audience though, nevertheless the band is simply amazing, and Jonsi as cute as hell.

  • Here and there

    says:

    What a show!!!
    And I would have never imagined I could say thank you to Apple…
    I installed Itunes despites all my prinicples and thanks to that, I could follow all this magnificent gig!
    I really appreciate the first part with all the new songs. But what I really love was all your classics that you play in a new way! untitled 8 was so different from the mast time I heard it in France.
    so please, come back again in France, I want to see you again!!!

  • u.s.fan

    says:

    I am so disappointed !!! I missed the live show, and tried to view on the iTunes Festival… upgraded my iTunes as was required… STILL not able to see the concert :( I noted that many comments were left on the festival page that many others were not able to open the concerts streams… PLEase find out whats going on!

    Are there any plans to add southern California to your Autumn tour? I would love to attend, but the locations are too far for me.

    Estuvo increíble la presentación en el i-tunes festival.
    Gracias por este regalo.

  • Jack

    says:

    I loved the show. I saw Sigur Ros live in Boston earlier this year and it was magnificent – so grateful to see them again on iTunes. The live instrumentation and orchestration with the large band is just so gorgeous – Hrafntinna live is one of my all time favorite pieces of music (I love it on the album – but live is just breathtaking). I have told many people that I think that Sigur Ros is the greatest band ever, including the future! There will never be another band like this and I’m so glad I’m alive and able to see them while they’re around and playing. Here’s wishing them many more albums and musical adventures together – because this is just great. Thank you Sigur Ros – and thank you to iTunes for the concert. Great great show.

  • Pete

    says:

    It was great to see SR in close up so to speak, but having been to Eden and Jodrell Bank, while it was a great show (as always lately) I did really kind of miss the sheer massive visuals of the outdoor shows. (I was lucky enough to get to 3 of the March shows too (Manchester 1, Wolverhampton & Brixton 3) which were all Brilliant but there was just something extra about those two outdoor gigs).

    Great to see Varud ‘promoted’ to the encores – I know that a lot of people on the boards and critics think Valtari to be a weak album (personally I think it’s a wonderful piece of work) – so it’s really ironic that Varud, off an album that was supposedly difficult to tour, should be the highlight of the show for many.

    Roll on November… See you all then :-) Takk x

  • Brian Ellis

    says:

    Philadelphia, 20 September 2013: My third Sigur Ros show. This was by far the best. Great mix of old and new songs. Thanks for coming to Philadelphia again. Thanks, Orri for the drumstick too! Awesome. Come back again soon!

    Asheville, NC ~ First time experiencing.

    I was nervous and excited, the anticipation… how it would feel hearing the most beautiful sounds and seeing some of the most talented artists born. Thank you so very much for coming to the US – Beyond amazing, thank you again.

  • Bárbara Cano

    says:

    I have just discovered this amazing sound, how can I have lived without it? Now I’m studying this beautiful language and in a year time I’ll visit Iceland. This stream has changed my life, thank you for opening my horizon. From Spain,
    Takk fyrir. Sjáumst.

  • Annette

    says:

    Thank you Sigur Rós & iTunes festival because of iTunes festival I found this band. I have watched the video almost daily and was sad to know October would come & it would be over. Since 9/3/13 I have purchased every SR album & have loved learning about this group and their change & growth over almost 20 years. I love my albums but feared I’d loose the sound that I fell in love with & started it all for me. I just found & purchased the SR EP of the iTune Festival!! I am so happy. I would have loved more selections, especially Sevfn-G-Englar. But I am just happy to have some of the sounds I love. I plan to see you soon when you return to the US. But if it takes too long I may have to learn how to take a trip abroad!! Thank you for helping me rediscover my love and connection to music.
