G watched the live streamed concert of Arcade Fire at Madison Square Garden in New York two nights ago, and was raging about it all last night. She made me sit down and watch this video in particular. It is a delicious live performance if you like the flavors of drum and bass, wrapped in Arcade Fire packaging.
It also has inspired us to buy tickets to see them next Saturday in Toronto on Olympic Island!!! It should be a wild ride! We await the date with gleeful anticipation.
The album version is sadly not as rich as the live performance. Most of the time I am less satisfied by live performances, but in this case I think the song is enriched. The album version is like a new leather jacket, but the live one from Madison Square Garden is more like the broken in leather jacket that fits just right.
Also, for those who might have heard Arcade Fire once or twice, here or there, keep listening! If your experience is like mine, eventually you will question how you ever didn't like them! And start at the beginning with "Funeral" and then move on to "Neon Bible".
