When I saw the movie Friday Night lights 20 years ago I automatically became a fan of Explosions in the Sky. Every time Peter Berg released a movie I was wishful that he had Explosion's do the the music score for the movie, like Lone survivor not to mention other films this band was part of. Finally getting to see them was a bucket list concert for me. They were powerful to see, on key and amazing. Reason for a four star review is a 1:20 minute play list is very weak some people traveled great distances to see the show and just as you sit down, get into the grove the show is over. They could have played 3 0r 4 more songs and skipped out on the awful opening act. I feel they missed a couple great hits. Felt as if they just wanted to get out of dodge. also, maybe a little to much dry ice but that's being picky.

EPIC! The band was so on queue and they all moved together like an instrument, my heart was full and I’ll never forget this show.

My second time seeing EITS and another set list for my collection. This band is more than live music, they are an experience. It is telling that on both occasions I have seen them live I have gone alone, yet I soon found myself in good company as fellow fans can't help but share their love for this music (and ask to take pictures with the set list haha). Whatever city they're playing in, if I'm there (or nearby) it is an auto-smash on the ticket purchase button for me. Please let it never END.

About Explosions in the Sky
Explosions In The Sky is an American instrumental post-rock band, which formed in Austin, Texas in 1999. Munaf Rayani, Mark Smith, and Michael James had just moved to Austin from Midland, Texas, and drummer Chris Hrasky had just moved to Austin from Rockford, Illinois.
The band quickly gained a reputation for their live shows even amongst other established local bands such as Lift to Experience. They also garnered a small amount of media attention as a result of their second album, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever, due to rumors linking it to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks - The album was released in late August 2001, with liner notes containing a picture of an airplane and the text "This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow".
"The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place" is their third full-length album (counting "How Strange, Innocence" as their debut, see below). It shows the band has developed their characteristic sound to its full potential and the album has been critically acclaimed.
Friday Night Lights, the football movie based on the book of the same name, featured a soundtrack consisting mostly of songs by Explosions in the Sky, both original (as found on the Friday Night Lights soundtrack ) and from earlier releases. They are also frequently played in the TV-series sharing the name.
21: The Rescue, an experimental work for which the band sat down for eight days creating a song for each. The clapping and finger snapping on "Day Eight" is a good example of a harmonic restructuring of their old sound.
How Strange, Innocence, the band's debut album, was finally remastered and re-released, making it accessible to a much larger audience. The first pressing consisted of only 300 CD-Rs that the band would later regret handing out as they felt the work to be naive, musically simple and not up to their standards. They have since learned to love, as well as hate, their debut as a showcase of their emotional range and emerging talent.
The newest full-length album, entitled 'All Of A Sudden, I Miss Everyone' came out as of February 20th, 2007. The band is now on an extensive tour supporting the release.
