damn. how is a youtube hosted stream getting overwhelmed. i had no idea arcade fire were so big.

edit: started working again, neighborhood 2 playing.

They sold out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. :lol

 

[Dies Iræ]

Perfect stream for me, great quality, sounds awesome.

 

[gimmmick]

Hi arcade fire.

 

[K.Sabot]

And people think Neon Bible is shit.

 

[big ander]

I'm not watching because I'm seeing them on Sunday

edit

And people think Neon Bible is shit.

Who thinks that? It's worse than both Funeral and The Suburbs, but that's not saying much. It's still great.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Basically everyone on YouTube over the next hour and a half will probably check this out. That's insane.

And people think Neon Bible is shit.

Technically this was on the EP first. Not that I don't love Neon Bible.

 

[kingocfs]

Yep, this is awesome.

 

[Empty]

i'm not sure those dead souls need to be dignified with the word 'people'.

Great marketing.

 

[knicks]

This is really really cool.

 

[gimmmick]

Any arcade fire fan doesn't think neon bible is shit, it's just that they set the bar too fucking high with funeral.

 

[Cohsae]

They do put on a pretty damn good live show. So much energy, they just go nuts.
I remember at Big Day Out a few years back at one point 2 of them started running around throwing drums at each other. Was rather funny.

 

[K.Sabot]

OWEN PALLET YEAAAAAAH

 

[knicks]

Sprawl II better get played.

Edit: Fuck yes Haiti!

 

[Empty]

haiti <3333

 

[kingocfs]

Not like they need it, but I feel like the logical next level for this band is some full-orchestra shit. I think that would just blow too many people away.

 

[cubicle47b]

The sound keeps cutting between low and high volume. It's distracting. Still, this is pretty awesome.

I bought Funeral when it came out, but it was almost a begrudging purchase because all the hype was just ridiculous. But then when I saw them play Laika on Conan, I "got" it. That's one of my favorite late night performances ever, up there with ATDI on Letterman/Conan.

 

[Expendable.]

damn stream is terrible over here :/ still enjoying it though!

 

[Cmagus]

keeps kicking me man turn all that twitter shit off the page

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Sprawl II better get played.

Edit: Fuck yes Haiti!

Haha. Just got shown up

 

[GoutPatrol]

Empty Room is my favorite song on the album.

 

[GoutPatrol]

My audio just started sounding like a 14K RealPlayer stream from 1999 for 15 seconds.

 

[AndyD]

Perfect stream for me, great quality, sounds awesome.

Same here. First time i have ever seen a live concert on the internet of a big good band. I like it.

 

[gimmmick]

Wake up must be amazing live if it is the song they close our their shows too.

 

[Cmagus]

just looking at their site they are playing in Toronto on the 14th that would be cool 64.50 a ticket though but i dunno this is impressive

 

[BreakyBoy]

The stream was finally perfect throughout Haiti. It's acting up again, but I'd be happy with just that performance of Haiti. Wow.

 

[Empty]

i adore regine singing in french. well i adore the sound of french in general, but her voice doing it just makes me melt.

:lol I was going to say thanks for the heads up.

Chances are that show is already sold out.

 

[Dies Iræ]

I'm going!

 

[Expendable.]

If they put out a blu-ray of this = insta-buy.

 

[Cohsae]

I fucking love the internet. Seriously, are they going to do this live streaming for other concerts? When the stream works (which is most of the time) it's fantastic. Looks and sounds great.

 

[Inferno313]

Oh yes. The recording is great. I'd pay to watch it again without the internet hiccups.

 

[Expendable.]

I'm going!

I'm kinda dying to go! No one would wanna drive from Rochester to Toronto though :/

..and checked yesterday, not sold out.

 

[Helmholtz]

The cutting between high and low volume is really fucking lame. Otherwise great performances so far.

 

[gimmmick]

I'm surprised how well they sound live when compared too their LPs.

5 total planned in this Unstaged series. John Legend, The Roots coming up sometime.

The stream has finally settled for me! So great.

 

[Empty]

that rendition of the suburbs was fucking fantastic.

edit: crown of love!!!

 

[Inferno313]

Crown Of Love!

 

[criesofthepast]

just looking at their site they are playing in Toronto on the 14th that would be cool 64.50 a ticket though but i dunno this is impressive

$64.50 includes the ferry ride and shit. im going

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

FUCK. Late to the party, missed Suburbs

Crown of Love!

 

[gimmmick]

Crown of love <3

 

[barnone]

this is fantastic! I really want to attend an Arcade Fire concert in person now.

 

[Cohsae]

Fuck this sounds epic live.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Seeing them live, you realize they are way more a live band than they are a studio band. Which is saying something.

 

[K.Sabot]

:lol Pelvic thrusting tambourine player.

 

[Inferno313]

Holy crap. This is mindblowingly good.

EDIT: FUUuuuu Technical difficulties.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Yes, here comes the tempo change!

Yes.... Rococo rococo rococo rococo... That fuckin' guitar riff with the chorus effect is epic.
