unfortunately it's already sold out.
if someone has normal priced tickets (not those insanely high ebay prices) please PM me!

I really wish I could see them somewhere, sometime, but I couldn't afford to go to the festival they played in Norway :/

Has Owen been playing with them on any concert, this tour?

[dannyboy]

He played with them at the Osheaga music festival in Montreal. Best show I've ever seen.

[Alyssa!]

Saw just the AF crew in Boston. I couldn't tell if it was me, the crowd, or the band who didn't grok with the new songs, but even the "low points" (i.e. spot-on performances of "We Used to Wait," "Modern Man," and "Sprawl II" (I think) ) were great. This band tears me apart.

In case for some reason you don't have the new album yet... NPR in the US is streaming the entire thing.

[emilypoulain]

the whole album is available for download on amazon for only 3.99 for those of you without vinyl fetishes

[dannyboy]

Ah got it but it still makes me wish I had a record player so I could listen to Suburbs in its awe inspiring entirety on beautiful vinyl. You would think that a record player would be a worthy investment one of these days after all this complaining.

guys. i just bought a ticket for tomorrow night. i have 200 dollars to my name and i just spent 60 on this ticket. i am working 7am-5pm tomorrow, getting on a bus, going and then coming back the next morning for work.

i dont know if i'm crazy or devoted, pahaha, but i am HAPPY.

Apologies if someone's mentioned this elsewhere, but Youtube is currently streaming tonight's Arcade Fire show at MSG (Owen's playing with them too!)

There are some clear quality issues going on, but I'm hoping they'll be ironed out.

That was actually a pretty bangin concert. I loved Win's "this is live as shit" when the drum machine screwed up.

[czaravm]

i loved the show, despite all the technical difficulties that they had, it was rather epic, i just wish that my feed hadn't cut out during Empty Room -- that is quite an epic jam.

[Deleted]

So how was it Owen??

Biggest crowd to date?

Do you feel like Led Zeppelin???

[names]

From the webcast alone, that was immense. Is it me or does Win Butler look far more comfortable in front of a gigantic crowd than he ever did in front of just pretty big ones? He caught that Sprawl II false-start like a damn ninja, and he's right, it is stuff like that which makes a live show.

Must be said, for such a big guy, he proved unexpectedly nimble on that railing.

I reckon you're in luck.
