The Arcade Fire - Wake Up

[Neilz]

Am I the only one who get's goose bump's everytime I hear this song again? What is it with U2 and great intro's

- Elevation Tour :

Howard Huntsberry - Higher and Higher
Beatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band
New Radicals - Mother We Can't Get Enough

- Popmart :

Mission Imposible (U2 version)
Pop Muzik (U2 version)

We'll we all know the Zoo-TV intro...

All fantastic

 

[Popmartijn]

Was that Howard Huntsberry or Jackie Wilson?
And don't forget the Red Hot Chili Peppers with Higher Ground (original by Stevie Wonder). And of course the Influx Remix of Elevation.

The whole Arcade Fire album is fantastic....but that one song makes my hair stand up. I've seen some sick shows on this tour - and they all flash for me every time Wake Up plays.

I think it was Hunsberry... Anyway, Higher Ground... Didn't remember that one... Brilliant tracks to build up to the Influx Remix of Elevation of course...

What was the song before they came on stage for the ZooTV tour?

"Wake Up" always brings back happy memories for me, more of Philly 1 than Philly 2...the energy of the crowd just became so electric as it started, and Ewen and I were just so excited...what a great moment. Great song, too.

I'm not crazy about Arcade Fire otherwise, but I do like that song. I think it's more to do with the association for me than the song itself, though.

Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Television, the Drug of the nation

EDIT :

I don't know if this is legal on this forum, but since it's a very old and unknown song.. Typical Michael Franti of course... You can download it here :

From the Zoo TV Outside Broadcast onwards it was The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy with their song Television, The Drug Of A Nation (which can be found on the album Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury). For the indoor legs the opening song was apparently Be My Baby by The Ronettes.

Thanks alot Popmartijn and Neilz!

I still have yet to hear this song. I can't find the cd in any record store in the KC area which is really strange, and it's not on Rhapsody or iTunes (of course, I checked those 2 places a 2 months ago, so maybe it's up now).

Hell, I should just order it.

Arcade Fire's Wake Up truly is the perfect opener...and yes, it too gives me goosebumps

You were at Philly 1? Where were your seats? I missed Philly II unfortunatly. Which night was better in your opinion? I hear Philly I was generally a better show. I wouldn't know though.

I'll be going to the first Philly show in October though . I'll have GA, maybe I'll see you there if you're going.

I got it from iTUNES UK in June.

I should elaborate..... I meant to say when I hear some of the bootlegs from ZooTV that song comes on.

 

[Harry Vest]

I don't get the "Wake Up" thing - "Rebellion" and especially "Power Out" are way better songs by the Arcade Fire.

 

[Marko]

Wasn't Stereo Mc's "Elevate my mind" the intro for elevation? It was in Torino as I can remember..

 

[FUIrish]

LOVE the arcade fire intro but my favorite ever was the addition of thin lizzys "the boys are back in town" after sergeant pepper at Slane II!!!!!!!

 

[coach]

In the third leg of the elevation tour, they played all you need is love, the sargent pepper's , then the influix mix. I was in L.A. and Las Vegas, I still get chills!!!

Wake up is an amazing intro tape!!!, they should open for u2.
