Comments

Superb audience tape with a very clear and powerful sound. Music and vocals come through well upfront and pretty solid, and crowd noise is only placed between songs. Some major problems made Sćglópur to be stopped halfway. Then, the band played Gítardjamm to make time, so the problems could be fixed. After that, they resumed Sćglópur on a second attempt.

 

Note the band played two concerts the same day at the Calvin College Fine Arts Center in Grand Rapids (MI, USA). This recording documents the late show, which started at 10 pm, while the first concert started at 6 pm.
