July 29th, 2006 was a day-off on the Heima tour, so today we're sharing this recording of Vaka (Untitled 1) which was filmed a little bit after the Heima tour. Filmed outside Sundlaugin, the bands old studio in Álafoss.
Recorded 15 years ago today - July 28th, 2006. "Up early to leave for the 400+km drive to the Öxnadalur valley half an hour shy of second city Akureyri in the middle of the north of Iceland. Everyone sleeps for the first half of the trip to make up for the short night we’ve had. We wake up for lunch in Kjartan’s hometown of Blönduós and eat at his recommended café just beyond the fence of his old high school. He is welcomed as a friend by the owner, who it turns out used to be his headmaster.
Once again the sky is azure and the sheer exhilaration of being outside and doing this amazing thing – a free tour of Iceland! – makes everyone (well, me at least) feel somewhat elated. We pick through the flatter marshland and straighter roads of the region around Varmahlíð much quicker than on previous days and arrive at the breathtaking site of Háls in Öxnadalur in good time. Thanks to the fine weather the stage is open to the air with no super-structure to interrupt the dramatic mountain backdrop." - John Best [yt][/yt]
