[@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!

[@EirikskarbNedregard]

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

[@WayWillow]

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

[@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.

[@HerrEngels]

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

[@pukeyourguts]

[@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]

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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@nikstlittselpmur]

How much i love No cars go TT_TT

[@takemeawaytojanuary1]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@DannyWonder]

Wow that’s a strong set list

[@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.

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.

[@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!

[@susanhartline7539]

And I also Love the time period of Regine mainly playing drums.

[@michaelegan3774]

I miss the Suburbs tour. Their outfits and presentation are just so outlandish now in the Reflektor tour. Can't they just be normal again like this?

[@williamwilliams6358]

Yeah they'll stop playing as the reflektors soon. Just appreciate their Bowie-esque alter-ego phase.

[@BeardedSailor1]

i doubt you could ever call win butlers hair not outlandish xD

[@LeoR3000]

I must say I enjoyed every second of the reflector gig I went to, very hard to fault these guys

[@sebadrum16]

Pretty sure they will go back to their normal phase for their next album. But then the album after that will be some crazy haitian black metal or something LOL I was able to see them on their Suburbs tour at Bonnaroo and in Miami last year for their Reflektor small club tour, and i can't really pick which one would be best. Both were life re-affirming experiences.

[@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.

[@SBrian-ns8qz]

I love so much this concert that I decided to split the recording and make a "live album". It is available here : uptobox.com/ym8mibh8owhz (I do not own this material but enjoy sharing this amazing performance).

[@nickdawson3754]

widM they have a moogerfooger on top of the keyboard so I'm assuming that's what's doing it, but there is some sort of delay in the piano that is really awkward. It's super apparent during "The Suburbs"

[@widM_]

isn't that intentionally? I mean don't they doing that on every concert?

[@chyloto]

No official song name but it's the theme song found playing in the dvd menus of Scenes From The Suburbs, the short film Arcade Fire and Spike Jonze made. It's basically an extended and instrumental version of The Suburbs (Continued). I listen to it ever so often, so amazing!

[@cheapseat]

"We're punctual at least, right?" A reference to Guns n' Roses turning up an hour late the previous night.
