MY BODY IS A CAGE - THE ARCADE FIRE - GLASTONBURY 2007

[@mintygreen8760]

amazzing - when this song came on just after the sun had set there were tears in my eyes. What a band.

[@LuckyLemmons]

this song always gives me chills its amazing!

[@fazmuz]

without a doubt one of the best things ever seen live. Loved glasto and love arcade fire!!

[@sblood311]

Richard Reed Perry is amazing. I love how they all play all the instruments. I tell you for a big guy... Win's hands are quite girl-y. Love this song so much.

[@ytak87]

Best band around at the moment. I love their music.

[@MasterVolo]

Sheer brilliance. Damn I need to see them live!

[@cmeyrick1]

I couldn't agree more, it was so incredible, they just made the whole crowd feel religious or something, it was like magic or something, it's the best live performance I've ever witnessed! AAARGH so good!

[@ytak87]

I like this band so much because they are so creative.

[@RobotGirlCandySwirl]

That was beautiful. Completely awesome.

[@fazmuz]

Still remember being there when they did this...haunting!!

[@setadriftonfishandchips]

this is haunting .... i love this band

[@Sk1nUpUk]

Best live band in the world!!

[@lipassdf]

his voice give me goose bump..

[@whythewar1]

I wish the french horn was more prominent in the studio version, it really is what makes this version so much better.

[@trevlcmd]

i fucking loovve when their songs build up... so powerful.

[@Trait23]

Wow. It must have been so awesome live.

[@UCLTim88]

Wow wow wow wow wow! Mesmerising! They played it at Ally Pally in London when I was there, but somehow messed up the timing and volume of the organ, so Win's voice was barely audible. But this performance is just beyond brilliance.

[@Binbay55]

Goosebumps. Every goddam time.

[@imago88]

awesome! wish i was there:( Thanks for uploading!

[@DavidAlbertoGamez]

AMAZING

[@alansareagleeye]

he´s just sound as arcade fire and it´s fxxinn´good

[@ananasjuice4]

Trippin to light fantastic baby alright.

[@Uberforth]

@UseTheLoo I happened to stumble across another band called the Antlers who use it in a song of their's called "Wake" The pipe organ doesn't come in until about the five minute mark, but I highly suggest listening to the whole thing because it is fantastic.

[@pr4mojo]

holy mother of God this is good.

[@MissKoutsoukou]

im amazed

[@wybsterman]

gotta love em.....

[@TPheartbracker97]

I'm starting to fall in love....(:

[@Ochsenburg]

spiritual, touching song

[@w1ldtr1ck]

@administramation true but all those other songs you mentioned are amazing as well

[@iluvhockey9]

@sabrinabells actually, it's a song by Arcade Fire. Written and first performed by Arcade Fire. Peter Gabriel did a COVER.

[@thehappiestcamper]

Arcade Fire wrote this song. This is the original. Peter Gabriel covered it a few years later.

[@Honeyglooms]

So moving....

[@verucahate]

A shame this song was not included in the setlist for their performance in Mexico City.. Still a wonderful show anyway.

[@Greghall]

My body is a . *Sea of beautiful noise hits you*

[@Tiffany_C_]

They're fucking rocking the french horn. Amazing!

[@cloxwork]

@eagillum when I first heard arcade fire on youtube, they played in front of a church. Their music is like...spiritual.

[@GorillaF101]

just amazing... nothing more to say, but arcade fire rocks! 2:45 - 3:01 gives me goosebumps..

[@andymg]

the arcade fire are that good, that at 1:38 they actually turn the sun on more!

[@Fabsi87]

@iAmTheWalrus1996 Listend to the lyrics, think about it and you know exactly what this songs is about. This song for almost everybody! If everybody break this cage this world would be a better place!

[@Peppet160]

well said

[@Chrissianation]

epic!

[@2n2equals5]

@administramation Amen to you. This is by far their most emotionally crippling and powerful track. Though Intervention should definitely always get a play too.

[@MajicLaMa]

Peter gabriel is behind me now. This version is more emotional and active. Does anybody know who's is the original? Peter Gabriel sang it first right?

[@nisto95]

Band of the decade?

[@Uberforth]

@UseTheLoo No problem. You do the same. You've listened to Intervention by Arcade Fire right?

[@sirhcg]

haha brothers ciders is amazin

[@pwnerinator]

@marcoshvicente No, They're like than both combined! :D

[@protolink24]

@eagillum I've been playing the cello professionally for 8 years. I doubt they would take me on :P

[@Uberforth]

Are there other bands that use church or theatre organs like Arcade Fire does?

[@RemyChef]

Can anyone tell me about Glastonbury? Where is it? What is it? Just curious =)

[@BenjKris]

@nisto95 a tie with Radiohead! Both amazing, unique & innovative bands. Arcade Fire just beats them live though . . best band I've ever seen without a shadow of a doubt!

[@flymetomoon]

Credo...isto não existe, isto é muito além de tudo o que é considerado bom. :o

[@MrLasveguinhas]

So they don't perform this song anymore? Well that's stupid, cuz this is their best song

[@desertmouse1]

these guys know the meaning of crescendo. i just came.

[@Arkk0n]

I think you're probably right. If they wanted it to sound different they would play it differently.

[@lipassdf]

AF are f*cki*g brilliant on live performance..

[@eoincon87]

How immature, yet how funny!! What a band!

[@04211992April]

I'm guessing if the horns are being played like that, it's because Win wanted it that way.

[@gogolplex74]

@administramation well If Intervention doesn't give you chills I won't comment you btw their most stunning song is obviously no cars go

[@nobreath181818]

@administramation They played this, we used to wait, intervention, and wake up at chicago... Stop crying and enjoy what they play.

[@MarcosVicente]

Not a rock band but an orchestra!

[@jackolous]

at 2:41 it looks like hes doin his piano

[@rajeshmukkath]

Régine Chassagne must be very strong

[@kellee101]

Could hAve done without the wind instuments. But its All good..

[@Arrorn123]

suo

[@TLOofMPLS]

I prefer Gabriels' cover. Much more moving with Peters' pain bleeding through his performance.

[@LudaZena1228]

@RemyChef google it :))

[@quigonjinn96]

@TLOofMPLS I completely and fully disagree. It's far more emotional when Win Butler sings it.

[@waitwho19]

my body is a cage> rococo

[@BenAuris]

Four minutes and sixteen seconds. I covered this song. And I shot a video. Watch the video and tell me what you think. Thank you for acknowledging a lot of work.

[@bonniebree187]

Yeah you're right. It somehow sounds really awkward and, I hate to say it, but almost bad with those horns so loud and trilling

[@jsphrodgers]

You gotta be smokin crack to think Peter Gabriel's version is better...Arcade Fire is GREATNESS

[@stickyfiddle]

It's not a different arrangement, it's bad sound mixing for TV. Don't be so moody!
