Richard really does beat the shit out of Will doesn't he?! Thanks for posting this. I've only ever seen No Cars Go from this performance. One of the greatest bands of all time.
La energía que le ponen a esta canción recorre ni cuerpo, es una sensasion increíble! No sera un éxito o la mas popular pero lo que provocan en mi es inexplicable, super canción!
well realistically no one in arcade fire has a traditionally great singing voice but that's part of their appeal. In my opinion the 3:01 mark in this video are some of the best vocals I've ever heard. Just listen to the intensity. Technically trained vocals would ruin this music. I mean it was david byrne who said that the better a singer's voice the harder it is to believe what they're singing.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Brayden Mustafa Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
It really is perfect though. And amazing. It sounds just like this on the album. She kinda rules, sings like this and plays drums and accordion. Like... WHAT?! Coolest chick ever. Period.
They were at Rock en Seine again this year and I saw them, it was EPIC! "Wake Up" was echoing all over the place while the rain was pouring down... it was just epic, one of the best moment of my life.
blown away again, went to see them again last night for the second time and they blow the roof of the men arena. they where out of this world, the whole crowd was on their feet by the second song. thank you arcade fire for what was a brilliant night.
When I listen to this song I hear The Decemberists, The Who, and Kram. It is not bitter, nor is it sweet, it is not mediocre. It is truth. It is emotion… And I love it all. :D
This song was based on a true story of Christopher Johnson McCandless, also known by the pseudonym Alexander Supertramp (Alex). After graduating from college in 1990, McCandless traveled across North America and eventually hitchhiked to Alaska in April 1992. McCandless is the subject of Into the Wild, a nonfiction book by Jon Krakauer that was later made into a full-length feature film.
WHAT A BAND!... Seriously, perhaps I like a little bit more a couple of other bands, but the Arcade surely are great, for me, one of the best three bands of the 2000's ... And they are kind of crazy when playing... Im in love with them
My favorite Arcade Fire song...although Neighborhood 1 is really really good too (and Rebellion...ok never mind I like they all!). Brilliant combination of sounds, and their intensity is very usual
@MegaBILLYBOB66 I was at the same gig and it was unreal. I've never seen a band capable of such technical, thoughtful music, delivered with such ferosity. Outstanding performance by an incredible band. I have to confess that I was stood up from the first bar of Ready to Start until the final bow after The Suburbs!
I don't know, but I like both Muse and Arcade Fire. Both are pretty much in the same place of my top 5. By the way, this is completely beautiful. The instruments sound better live. Damn, such emotion. I love this.
Funeral will always be my favorite by them. It's like a friend to me. Whereas their newer stuff reminds me of my past experiences and regret them - which is cool in it's own regard, but Funeral will always be there to make me scream, cry, and to make me feel empowered.
I was at the show, it was just amazing. they put so much energy in their music, with Richard and Will fooling around and still be able to play their part in rythm, they almost put everyone on their knees in the audience. remember in one of the song Richard played to make the cymbal fall just to drive the technician mad. seeing this poor guy going onstage, put the cymbal up just to have richard throw it down again as soon as he turn his back was so hilarious and yet so sad for him.
There might be nothing in this world that makes me happier than watching this video. (And yes, great sex is considered). I think it crystallizes what Arcade Fire were at at that moment and what they were becoming. Something inexpressible. Something glorious. Something wonderful. That they had the presence of mind to get a video document that was so exquisitely shot and brilliantly edited to capture the seminal moment is one of art history's great fortunes. Look at Win. He couldn't care less what's going on around him. It points up what's so comically perfect about these antics between Richard and Will. They highlight how Win never, ever pays the least bit of attention to anyone else on stage while performing. It's as if these two are going to whatever extreme they can imagine to get the attention of their big brother (well, in Will's case anyway) and still failing. All that's left is to rub out the frustration with sticks on each other's heads. Would be funny in its own right, but since they're accompanied by the screw-loose tidings of "Laika", the percussive / concussive antics are compositionally vital.
Oh my gosh! Those two guys running around beating up each other look like they are having the time of their lives! THIS is why I love Arcade Fire. Their live shows are incredible. :)
Fair enough, in hind sight I should not have posted on here, but when I saw this band I was blown away & was like "are these guys for real!?". This is insane and I don't get why people don't see that. I know I put myself in a lions den, but I was compelled to comment. I will not post here anymore & take your advice to let people like what they want. But for the record I still find this music insane and in the bottom range as far as talent goes. Like a well prepared meal vs moldy mac & Cheese.
Arcade Fire is so funny. They are so dramatic, it's always right on the edge of just being silly and ridiculous, but they're music is so great that they don't cross that line :P

my love for this song is just inexpressible
Will and Richard should have their own wrestling show
Now they have boxing ring like stage :)
How about some horse riding?
Real musicians, playing real instruments, and using their heads to create something original and listenable! Thank you!
Probably the best live version of this song on UA-cam! The Reading 2007 version is also awesome.
check out Reading 2010 as well
Conan O Brian is my fave :)
I love how the intensity of Règine's voice at 3:00
Beautiful song. What a spiritual catharsis.
Fucking beautiful performance!! With Owen Pallett on the violin.
I miss these Arcade Fire
they blow now, ever since that grammy
they are just like that
they are so into it
it is what makes them amazing
Richard really does beat the shit out of Will doesn't he?! Thanks for posting this. I've only ever seen No Cars Go from this performance. One of the greatest bands of all time.

i think they're probably the most internationally loved band
This song is just so beautiful.
Seeing them live next month.. I cannot wait.
This song is amazing esp the chorus part! Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it!

Oh I love you for this comment, and damn do I love David Byrne... Well said both of you 🥰

@Brayden Mustafa it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
there is just so much energy and passion in this group! Plus a shit load of talent and genius! Truly spectacular! :)
the cinematography of this video is exceptional.
If you were there here's the memories to go with the tingles if weren't, just get a read of what you missed
Man, this is far more brutal than Slipknot O___O
I don't really know why, but I keep coming back to this performance.
Come on Alex, you can do it!
It really is perfect though. And amazing.

thank you arcade fire for what was a brilliant night.
I like this video, it' is so crazy... I can see it a million times and I won't be bored.

I will never get over this :D

I was at this concert in Paris...they were incredible. Amazing Canadian talent! Thanks for posting it!
Love this song! Brings me close to years when I think about Supertramp. Arcade fire are such an amazing band, and I love how they really just go crazy
WHAT A BAND!... Seriously, perhaps I like a little bit more a couple of other bands, but the Arcade surely are great, for me, one of the best three bands of the 2000's ... And they are kind of crazy when playing... Im in love with them
Que música que tem adrenalina curto muito
I totally agree, I took my daughter to there show and she was smiling the whole time!! We have another fan!!
best Arcade Fire video ever! thanks
those percussionists rock my world. One plays the other. I love it!
they are so young, what a promising career ahead of them
Olha a energia dessa performance, cara! Gostaria muito de ter estado ali.
My favorite Arcade Fire song...although Neighborhood 1 is really really good too (and Rebellion...ok never mind I like they all!). Brilliant combination of sounds, and their intensity is very usual
Incredible live performance, incredible band, incredible song. Absolutely awesome

Muito bom!
Incrível! Saudades de ver eles ao vivo!
i love arcade fire. their so original, and their music is so unique, catchy, and has great lyrics.
That was the first song I listened to ... and from this moment I knew Arcade Fire is my favourite band ...love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know, but I like both Muse and Arcade Fire. Both are pretty much in the same place of my top 5. By the way, this is completely beautiful. The instruments sound better live.
Damn, such emotion. I love this.
Ricky i love you, thanks for showing me this band. they are simply amazing.
Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, & Godspeed You! Black Emperor are 3 great bands that are from Canada and its the best music out since 2000.
This song needs more attention. Jesus fuck this is such a powerful moment in music.
Funeral will always be my favorite by them. It's like a friend to me. Whereas their newer stuff reminds me of my past experiences and regret them - which is cool in it's own regard, but Funeral will always be there to make me scream, cry, and to make me feel empowered.
This is band is fantastic! So versatile, so fun, energetic, and it makes me wanna dance and freak out all at the same time!
What makes this so amazing to listen to is the build up before they play the song.
One word: shivers.
Two words: Will and Richard.
I was at the show, it was just amazing. they put so much energy in their music, with Richard and Will fooling around and still be able to play their part in rythm, they almost put everyone on their knees in the audience. remember in one of the song Richard played to make the cymbal fall just to drive the technician mad. seeing this poor guy going onstage, put the cymbal up just to have richard throw it down again as soon as he turn his back was so hilarious and yet so sad for him.
simply amazing!!
I really, really, really, really wish Arcade Fire would come to Pittsburgh. I would love to see them live.
I think these guys are fantastic and fresh!
Saw them at Memphis yesterday. BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER SEEN.
i love them. i just love them.

Best gig I saw last year was these guys. By far.
A very underrated song. And what a great performance!
Oh my gosh! Those two guys running around beating up each other look like they are having the time of their lives! THIS is why I love Arcade Fire. Their live shows are incredible. :)
When they kick into higher gear around 2:45. Hard to beat in Alt Rock Hist.
Production teams can't handle Arcade Fire, their sound is so much more powerful live.
Richard and Will are always the best part about any live performance of this song.
i'm speechless. they're brilliant!
I love Arcade Fire. What a brilliant band.
They are saving music
One of those band's you'd max out credit cards to go see. F'n Awesome
they're amazing live-- I highly recommend it.
Vocal style in this song reminds me of David Byrne. Amazing band and I would not compare them to anyone, they are truly "ORIGINAL".
These guys are great! They're like a cross between The Commitments and the Revenge of the Nerds bands.
2:45 this is the TRUE Arcade Fire
(L)

these guys are the slipknot of good music. they have so many people on stage. love it.
So incredibly powerful!
The intro brings me to tears... They are so wonderful. I can't wait Succubs.
they're incredible live, second best live band i've seen behind the flaming lips
People like you wear away at the small amount of hope I have left for humanity.
Sweet lovely version :)
i Loved the fight scene, hehe, go to my favorites, definitly.

@FORD5000solo2001 We greatly appreciate it.
Best regards, Germany
¡Grandes, grandes! Me encanta como brota la melodía -del kaos...
I got to see them at ACL 2007, front row. The Neon Bible tracks sound utterly epic, live. They threw in some Funeral too, naturally.
gaaah...every member of this band is talented
playing that many instruments
damn i wish i could see them live
Arcade Fire is so funny. They are so dramatic, it's always right on the edge of just being silly and ridiculous, but they're music is so great that they don't cross that line :P
I’m in love with the violinist
I love how Will and Richard are fighting. Greatest thing I've ever seen.
