Arcade Fire

[Comfy Bean]

Forget the 10.30pm delayed story. They are on. Streaming on bbc site sorry I can`t do link. They must have came on early as on the 4th or 5th song ? Looking and sounding good.

Stream is here but it has been on for 40 minutes... http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/errnc8/live/c4frbp

Still no Neon Bible

This has convinced me to sell my jack white ticket to see them again at Hyde park

...until jack white's glasto set tomorrow reminds you why that's a bad idea.

[Babyquack]

Jack'll be back in the autumn. You don't know when you'll be seeing Arcade Fire again!

[guitarbhoy1888]

hmmmm.

wonder who's under those masks

[Babyquack]

hmmmm.

wonder who's under those masks

most likely a mix of actors from the We Exist part and a few audience members (that's what it's been at every one of the gigs thus far bar EC where they got proper actors in)

[lightning1000]

This set list is pretty much perfect so far.

[lightning1000]

And now tunnels. Shiiiiit.

They were great! The only problem was the lack of Porno and the tease of My Body Is A Cage and that is about it. Oh I wish I was there and seeing them at BST (the fact that tickets were £2.50 have made it even worse as well )

Finally, after several failed attempts I get Arcade Fire

They haven't worked out how to play Porno live so have only ever played the first verse or two a handful of times acapella style. They did it when I saw them at the roundhouse and it was magical

[lightning1000]

One of the few bands I've been with from the start and still like.

[blue6field]

They just keep getting better live. Soooo gutted I'm not there tonight

[Pauljoanss]

Got Arcade Fire tickets todayfor 2.50 each so interested to see what they are like this eve

£2.50? How come, any more at that price.

They put staff tickets on sale to the general public in error. They've since removed them but are honouring any that were purchased.

Highlight of the festival so far, along with some new finds.

I've only been into Arcade Fire the last 6 months and barely know their newest album but that was a fantastic performance and by far the best that has been shown on the BBC so far.

Only two songs that I wanted to hear that they didn't play were Rococo and Intervention, however I really enjoyed the stuff from Reflektor. We Exist, Its Never Over (Oh Orpheus) and Normal Person were brilliant and I'll have to pick up the newest album soon.

I was almost in tears watching Tunnels and the combination of Power-Out-Rebellion. Ready to Start was brilliant too.

Came over well on TV. First thing I saw that made me regret I didn't have tickets. It was a great setlist as well.

Agree (came over well) and same here (regret. although i had tickets, just had to bail). But then i think artists with a theatrical flair come over better on TV coverage than if you're there in person sometimes.

[Alan_C]

I'm not familiar with their music other than a few singles, and that was the first time I've seen then live but they were fucking brilliant. Absolutey loved it.

[kemosabe]

Saw them last week at Hurricane festival in Germany and they were poor... They deffo raised their game last night and were much much better

[atomised]

I was blown away last night. The previous 3 times I'd seen them live I found them pretentious and dull. Last night they were euphoric

[Craigston]

Superb performance although I thought regine's vocals were a bit iffy in places. ready to start, no cars go and a sublime version of the suburbs were my highlights.
