Sigur Rós Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Silence

An short clip of Sigur Rós´ small concert in Olafsvík, Iceland. This silence has long been sought after by Sigur Rós fans around the world, but is always ruined by some drunk fan´s yell or something. Here it is silent for almost a minute except for a tiny child counting 'one, two´ in icelandic and laughing. What could be greater in this silence than a child´s laughter? Only in rural iceland would this sort of thing ever happen.

oh yeah, the coughing is the lead singer breathing. it´s artistic, i wouldn´t worry about it.

I didn't catch it on video, but the second night of the 2 performances in Tokyo last spring was quite exceptional; and I "think" the silence did remain an entire minute without any disturbance. I was at both, and clearly the second night rendition was MUCH better than the first. Too bad for the first night goers, who only got to see that night.

I love Sigur Rós so much that I learned the code to write the ó in Rós (ALT+0243)

Seriously, it would be awesome to get to know them! :)

i saw them in benaroya hall (an acoustically perfect classical music hall; interesting place to see lound music) in seattle and the slience in that concert was unbroken. I thought I slipped into a time warp, no one moved, or dared to breathe. The anticipation is almost erotic. Have they always done the silence? I saw them in Manchester on the same tour and I cant remember if theydid it.
