Arcade Fire. Formal wear or costumes only please.

[lazarus]

Not playing Awful Sound but a Rolling Stones cover instead = Fuck Off.

And seeing Arcade Fire live is worth one failure.

Attaboy

I am going to the Toronto show. Blazer and jeans a good idea?

 

[PhilsFan]

I am wearing a suit.

 

[subnet]

It's hard to raise the roof with a suit

 

[cobl04]

Not hard to raise the roof in a onesie though.

 

[Danny Boy]

Just hard to raise anyone's libido.

 

[cobl04]

in my experience, that's not entirely true.

 

[subnet]

Oooo sweet hahaha

 

[LemonMelon]

Just hard to raise anyone's libido.

Or raise the urge to let Cobbler live.

 

[bono_212]

Speaking of which, Dan, you're free!

Cobbler, what the fuck is up with the Bowie survivor?

 

[cobl04]

What the ever loving fuck are you talking about?

 

[bono_212]

Don't you fuck with me.

Just caught my first show of theirs last night. Pretty impressed, overall. A lot of the newer material came off better than I expected, particularly Here Comes the Night Time and We Exist. The duet between Regine and Win during It's Never Over (Hey Orpheus) from across the arena also played out well. Got treated to a cover of Prince's Controversy too, which was pretty cool!

I was lucky enough to be dead-center in the front, so I had a pretty decent view for most of the show. Two guys next to me were pulled up at the very end of It's Never Over, probably because they were wearing masks at the time! Win also came by a bunch and I even got to bang on his guitar strings a bit when he lowered to the crowd during Neighborhood #3. Crazy stuff, haha.

trevgreg - do you remember what time they took the stage?

They went on somewhere between 8:45 and 9:00, which I remember thinking was pretty early (probably closer to 8:45). The doors opened around 6:45 and the two DJ sets started around 7:30 or so.

 

[anitram]

Awesome, thanks very much! That helps me a lot as I think I can make it for 8:45. No interest in the opening acts anyway so not much of a loss there.

 

[trevgreg]

No problem at all! Hope you have a good time. It was pretty fun on my end!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

You just came back from 30 degree weather, no? You must be frozen.

 

[bollox]

Toronto was off tha chain last nite. Special guest appearance by Mayor Ford. The regional cover was a Constantines song I had never heard. Was kind of hoping for 'Worst Behavior.' Muthafuckas neva loved Arcade Fire.

 

[BoMac]

Let me know if they are any good live. Thanks.

They are quite good live. I know, I'm shocked, too.

 

[BoMac]

Spent 5 weeks in sunny, 35 degree weather so, yes, I am frozen. Worst part is I was told it was in the double digits earlier this week.

 

[PhilsFan]

GA was sold out by the time I got to buying Arcade Fire tickets so I ended up in a club box and don't have to worry about standing in line in the below-freezing weather. Really the only good thing about it other than being able to buy beer much easier.

Wow you missed a hell of alot of really shitty weather also. But you got the final dump on Wednesday I guess lol.

Glad to hear you made it back safe

Fixed.

I was in GA in Toronto and was blown away. Win Butler out dancing to Dan Deacon with the audience on the floor, was a hoot.
