Sigur Ros – Nyja Lagid (live, 1999)
To mark the 10th anniversary of the Icelandic release of Sigur Ros‘
breakthrough album Agaetis Byrjun, Sigur Ros have made available
two exclusive live performances from the original launch party
concert at the Icelandic Opera House on the night of June 10, 1999 -
back when few people outside Reykjavik hadn’t the foggiest clue who
they were. Nyja Lagid video – filmed originally for Icelandic TV and unseen
for years, this shows the boys when they really were still boys,
performing a song that never made it onto Agaetis Byrjun (or any
subsequent album) and disappeared from their set-list shortly after
this date. The film also records the last show by original drummer
Gusti. The audio of this live recording was featured on Sigur Ros’s
first ex-Iceland release, the Svefn-G-Englar EP.
