Live in the living room
(Prefacing Ninebarrow's live and free internet show this Saturday Feb 11th 2023 19.00 hrs GMT www.ninebarrow.shop/onlineconcerts)
One of the major plus points from the peak Covid years were the sheer number of live music internet shows, often acoustic sets from musicians' own homes. Sometimes they were available for a small fee, sometimes for free and sometimes there was the option of a donation to an artists's chosen charity.
That phenomenon has now translated into a more commercial opportunity but one still worthy of consideration. Being one of our long time favourite bands, we were delighted to discover that Sigur Ros were offering a live two-hour stream from the final show of their 2022 world tour. It was their homecoming to Reykjavík's Laugardalshöllin, Iceland, November 25 2022. The cost of access was just $14.99. Given that concert tickets for such a major band can be incredibly expensive, that seems a decent deal.
The photo above shows Jonsi live on Kim's tv set in Houston. Clips from that show are sparse on YouTube so here is one they made earlier. It is their 7th appearance on the jukebox. This was their 17th and penultimate track from the Reykjavik show
