Watched this sooo many times....it's now 2023 and it's just as brilliant now as it was then x

[@gravesyy6696]

I've watched this gig so many times, but that Tunnels performance never fails to give me goosebumps. Incredible

[@RenQuark]

The chorus and the crowd are just 😍

[@karafraki4090]

Me too!

[@mrsusan248]

Amazing 🤩 Suburbs does the same for me ❤

[@Utubin]

Yes ,this band is so amazing,puts me in a natural tranquil state of mind,body,spirit. To affinity and beyond,love this music. 10.27.24 Atlanta

[@EirikskarbNedregard]

51:41 Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) Get better every time you see/hear it... One of the best live performances ive seen soo far.

[@barrymurphy402]

Wow. Best live version for sure.

[@HerrEngels]

This is still one of the best concerts I've ever seen - and I wasn't even there.

[@pukeyourguts]

i was

[@GlauberSilva333]

I agree. I watched several concerts of them on youtube and none of them got to create the atmosphere that this one got.

[@CristinaMorales44]

Herr Engels I 100% agree. I love letting it play in the background. Favorite KZbin video hands down.

[@mazza369]

I was at the Leeds one, and it was fucking amazing.

[@Readybear77]

Fkn amazing band live !!!

[@paumatus526]

Intervention…. Simply the best song, and here they are with the best performance of the song!

[@duncanwcraig9668]

Intervention. sigh, an extraordinary song and story.

[@blinkblue-47]

Hands down my favourite performance by any band ever.

[@freddy333ful]

Thomas Byrne Ive been watching this set for three years, and last yr i went to a Jay Z concert and I was bored out of my mind... nothing compares to AF.

[@olgalebedeva1542]

ENDS UP.

[@Ruaidhripadraig]

The cross-over from Power Out to Rebellion (Lies) is haunting... Not too many things in music captivated me in the way that did.

[@lenshayler9570]

Watch tame impala at melt festival 2016. The outro to Apocaplyse dreams is the best piece of music I think I've heard!

[@DWSully14]

+Leonard Shayler that's one of my fave seconds of music ever.

[@lenshayler9570]

DylFTWynne it's unbelievable isn't it. Although I must say my FAVOURITE piece of music ever has to be the 30 seconds or so in A Day in The Life by the Beatles where they sing "ahhh, ahhhh, ahhh" (you know what I'm on about if you've heard it) that is truly hauntingly beautiful

[@widM_]

I live for their live transitions.

[@SkinnyMacGyver]

Luckily saw that transition live at a different festival and... your words are perfect. I was captivated and almost unprepared for the sheer wave of euphoria that they unleashed.

[@marilyn8225]

I love this performance of Arcade fire. One of their best. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@adamscoll8791]

This band is so unique and amazing, it's hard to put into words. I was at of their shows during their Reflektor arena tour and was truly moved. I went in as a casual fan, but left as a fanatic (I immediatly purchased all of their albulms.) Then I come to learn that they purposley keep their ticket prices low and give a nice percentage of the proceeds to charity (specifically to causes involving Regine's ancestral country of Haiti.) Not only are they are great band, they are great humans.

[@KrackerJacker]

I had the same experience, was a casual fan until I saw them headline a festival during their Reflektor tour. Absolutely amazing band.

[@heardashot]

Great post! God bless you Adam. Never a truer word spoken. So happy to be a fan of AF. Their music is surely a tonic for the soul.

[@SkinnyMacGyver]

Couldn’t agree more with this comment. Seeing them live changed me for the better.

[@SandraLovesSun]

indeed

[@gregreeves4884]

Looking back at this over 10 years later, I wish I went into this set loving Arcade Fire as I do now. Going in not really knowing any of their songs and still, it was the best headliner I've ever seen. The sign of an incredible band.

[@tomwkid]

Exactly the same here. It's when he said something like 'I don't know what we're doing here'. I was thinking 'yeah, I skipped Pendulum for this, show me what you got' and they blew my mind. The whole crowd singing back to their tents.

[@cagataycaglar4511]

No matter how many million times I watch this over years, it still blows my mind like it's the first time, always looking forward to new content

[@jordanpomeroy1937]

One of the best festival headline performances of all time and i'm unbelievably happy to say I was there. The ground shook.

[@SkinnyMacGyver]

Dammit do I envy and respect you. Can only imagine. This set is historic in my mind, and I genuinely don’t think I had to be there to make that judgment. But still, the envy is strong.

[@kelly-annehedges4131]

Wow so lucky I think that I would love to have experienced this

[@3Horus]

Wow that’s a strong set list

[@kelly-annehedges532]

No one is coming with the hook.. Arcade Fire listen to the crowd singing No cars go..They're enthusiasm is infectious.. Thank you for my daily Happiness fix.. 😀

[@Baxendale96]

So awesome how they all switch instruments, they really are a one of generation band. I'm going to glastonbury this year to see them alone!

[@Shoostep]

All time favourite show from my favourite tour ever. Must have listened to this 100 times now. :)

[@cagataycaglar4511]

Same here, absolutely the most legendary show ever!

[@tomwinnett3920]

One of the best bands EVER created. I wanna see them live!

[@trees4485]

I was here for this. A little fact actually before Arcade fire preformed at reading they weren’t really on the UK raider. They were known but not widely and me and my friends had been fans from the start. We honestly thought there would be a few people at the stage because they were so unknown. But I am not even joking when I say pretty much the entire camp was standing there by the end. People were crying hugging dancing and I have never felt that ever again from a gig. The sun was setting and it was absolutely beautiful. Everyone was talking about them after and I started hearing them on the radio. Absolutely overwhelming but so deserving as this band honestly are just incredible

[@warmwinter1953]

I'm such a latecomer to this band. I was genuinely thinking "where are the great bands/musicians gone?" Then I stumbled across this and without trying to sound too dramatic: it restored my faith in modern music. Epic epic stuff.

[@tooitchy]

warmwinter Must be cool to find them after they have a full catalog available, I started with their self-titled EP, waited impatiently for Funeral, and was actually let down with Neon Bible. I've warmed to NB, and Suburbs over time, but haven't really been into Reflektor. Ill probably think it's a classic in 5 years...

[@Purchata]

Darren Kehrli I think it's classic already. By the way, i found Arcade Fire many years ago and hate them for a long time. Well, now it's one of my favourite bands of all time. Love hurts xD

[@olgalebedeva1542]

EPIC BALLAD OZ.

[@hopelines1397]

There will always be great musicians. Strange truth about art (and magic moments in life): the magnificence isn't recognized at the time. Later, we ask ourselves how did I not stop and bury myself in the beauty of that moment? In the late sixties, a band called "Love" made a masterpiece album called "Forever Changes". It didn't sweep through the nation, and only the connoisseurs of great music know about it now.

[@takemeawaytojanuary1]

Amazing, I can fell this energy in my room, four years later and through a video!

[@emmaquarterman]

I was on the front barrier for this- honestly one of the best shows I’ve seen. Seen them since and it was also amazing, but there was something special about this one.

No "HIT SONG" but a HIT BAND. Welcome to the internet and the 21st Century!

[@legniak1]

Amazing show and brilliant crowd! Perfection 👌🏻

[@WuteverCanada]

Been a musician all my life in Toronto and have seen a lot of Canadian talent for many years. I caught this band on Austin City Limits on TV last night. Although they still need some polishing for the live act, I didn't change the channel, I liked their energy, their talent, their variety of instruments, their positive attitude during the interview after the show. I was instantly a fan and will be following them as they progress over the upcoming years.

[@warriorfight111]

Still one of the best bands on earth, along with Vampire Weekend. I remember seeing them after "Funeral" came out, and thinking "In ten years, I'm still going to love these guys." Well, they don't disappoint.

[@LeoR3000]

i saw them for the first time last month and was not disappointed, I think in 10 years I will still like these guys, good music is timeless

[@JimFyfe-tb2df]

I always come back to this show! A better version of Tunnels I am yet to find on KZbin, and the segue between Power Out into Rebellion is still the best thing this band does, no matter how many times i hear them do it! Wake Up still gives me chills. I don't think there is a better live show on KZbin of this band at the peak of their powers!

[@rossmacpherson8140]

Was lucky enough to be there. Out of all of the headline performances I saw at Reading when I went between 2008 and 2014, this was the greatest. Being front-middle for that transition from 'Power Out' into 'Rebellion' was something that will stay with me. A set and a Saturday night I'll never forget!

[@thebigkrischan]

This is the best AF-concert on KZbin. Great sound quality and an awesome crowd! The band at their absolute peak, with an amazing setlist. I am so looking forward to seeing them again in summer! Best regards from Germany.

[@jeancharlesdu21]

I agree with you but just watch their gig at Coachella 2011 ! These live performances are tied, to my humble opinion !

[@christiankellerman9206]

This is easily the greatest festival performance I have ever seen.

[@LeoR3000]

Magnificent bunch of humans

[@Stevieboywonder16]

The way they perform Tunnels is mind-blowing, it's so consistent until it gets to the ending and then they all just crazy, I love it.

[@Rubberfooted]

This performance of Power Out is UNREAL. Bassist is straight up shredding with that dark tone, Win is belting the lyrics like it's his last show ever, Will is wildly hitting those bells, and that monster of a beat drives the tune. And then they just jam the fuck out at the end. It's my favorite Arcade Fire song but this live performance proves that further.

[@cagataycaglar4511]

Aaah! And especially that transition into Rebellion! The best one of all times...

[@danielcrompton5702]

It's a monster

[@rudyb.gutierrezc.1083]

That was one of the first show i´ve ever listened to in youtube. I love this masterpiece.

[@nickynoo86]

They just seem to love being up there so much, the pure joy of performing and making music is what makes these guys so incredible. They put so much into each and every performance!

TheSleepwalks radiohead is more than just wank, they're the worst band in the world..Liam Gallagher said it well: On Radiohead’s ‘The King Of Limbs;: "I heard that fucking Radiohead record and I just go, ‘What?!’ I like to think that what we do, we do fucking well. Them writing a song about a fucking tree? Give me a fucking break! A thousand year old tree? Go fuck yourself!" (Thequietus.com, March 2011)

Such a great set. My first time seeing the band was at Leeds Festival that same weekend and it was unbelievably good. Was a similar setlist but they played Empty Room instead of Modern Man. I ran from the front section of The Libertines over to Shikari's NME set, and then back to the main stage in time for this - well worth it!
