Arcade Fire

****ing Rococo...

I'd genuinely rather Flashbulb Eyes.

But yes, amazing what a couple of mild tweaks can do, also somewhat unpopular but it's good to see Haiti binned, really isn't a great live song.

Haiti is ace live! Plus this album lacks Regine so any songs with her on vocals are welcome (though In the Back Seat would be ideal)

[arcade fireman]

I'm seeing them down here in Sydney a week on Tues so will report back! Hopefully we will get 20 songs as its their own gig as opposed to BDO

[home to you]

This is much better but seems a bit all over the place IMO

[CHRLY]

That's brilliant, amazing to see normal person straight into rebellion.

And I'm not to bothered about Haiti I'd rather have others over it but if they play it as well as all the songs I want them to play then I'll take it as an extra.

They still haven't played it's never over, a tack that many consider to be the best on the album. I find this strange

[rjb94]

Good to see they're changing it up a lot, gonna be a bit of a gamble with what we get though. Don't get Rococo, was dull on the last tour and I imagine it's still dull now. Would much rather Modern Man or Suburban War

[Porcelina]

They played It's Never Over quite a lot in November, I saw them play it at the Roundhouse.

Unless you're thinking of Awful Sound...?

No I mean yet on the big tour, saw it at blackpool it was amazing!

[WS_Jack_III]

So I had Haiti on repeat last night for about 15 minutes.

[DJL]

Much better. Not a fan of rococo, suburbs 2 seems a bit of a waste imo. I would miss Laika, Intervention and We Used to Wait (though they rarely seem to play that) but otherwise perfect.

Oh and the last seven songs are pretty f**king spectacular

I was thinking that about suburbs 2, pretty pointless

[efcfanwirral]

Straight into rebellion after the first song is the way I think- massive tune early on!

should cheer you grumps up ey

If they are restricted to a 17 song set thats pretty ideal, like Rococo myself but it could be swapped with any song. Only thing I'd moan at is that were probably not going to get the Power out to Rebellion Lies facemelting interlude anymore eh?

[WS_Jack_III]

Do they always end with Wake up? I'd rather they ended with No cars.

[CHRLY]

Do they always end with Wake up? I'd rather they ended with No cars.

Towards the end of last tour they messed around a bit, like Hyde park they ended with sprawl 2 I think and for the manchester gig they ended with the suburbs but it is a great set closer and I'm looking forward to it more than anything else this year.

You really do love no cars go don't you

yeah I do, it seems much more of a set closer to me. Wake up is a good song too just i'm not feeling it as the closer but you lot all seem to think it is the perfect end.

I like to think your mind would change on the night, I'm hoping that Wake Up on the Pyramid will be a 'moment'.

[efcfanwirral]

I think wake up will be THE moment this year, and perhaps anything else will seem like an anticlimax after it!

[Winslow Leach]

If the Power Out/Rebellion interlude is indeed no more, then this is a sad day.

To be honest I'd be happy with either Wake Up or Sprawl II as a closer, they both seem right to end with.

They have to do this.

[Tuna]

As closers, I'd take:

• Headlights Look Like Diamonds
• Power Out -> Rebellion
• (Antichrist Television Blues)
• My Body Is A Cage
• In The Backseat
• Half Light I + II

only 1 of those is remotely likely hahah

[CHRLY]

If in the backseat ends up anywhere in the set i will cry of happiness

[DJL]

Couldn't have put it better myself. They can mix it up when i see them at earls court but at glasto that's the perfect ending.

[Vanderlyle]

So.. for the big AF fans out here - which albums get most airplay?

I've got Funeral, Suburbs and just got Reflektor. Is it basically split between these three? All pretty good IMHO. Except for Jonathan Ross appearing in the middle of Reflektor. Unnecessary.

[DJL]

Don't discount neon bible, particularly for no cars go and keep the car running which they will almost certainly play. It really is spread between all four...
