Years ago I used to try to impress the importance of stagecraft on other band members, but they were having none of it.
How important is stagecraft to you?

The other Stagecraft I feel is missing from almost all young players around here these days is the lack of basic Stage 101 knowledge. Perhaps Malcolm could address this on another thread. Perhaps in the Live Forum. I'll jump in and fill in the gaps.

Although, they didn't take an eternity between songs, it was a tight production.

Sigur Ros are deliberately trying to recreate the mood they create while listening to their albums. They're trying to create an atmosphere, not an image. Jumping around the stage / yelling "how ya doin Montreal" etc, etc would completely ruin it...where as if you went to go see, say, The Hip, you'd want alot of interaction.
