Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem @ Red Rocks

The bill last night made me believe in a kind and all-knowing God. LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire together at Red Rocks = my dream show!


Our traveling caravan were mostly new to James Murphy's eloquence and mad beats, but they all came away loving LCD Soundsystem.

And in no surprise, Arcade Fire delivered the goods.

The light show looked brilliant against the rocks.


Haiti remains one of my favorites live.


Whenever Regine heads to the drum kit, I start to freak out in anticipation of Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels).


Oh to be in the front rows! Win toured the crowd twice!


Wake Up proved transcendent and a perfect end to the evening.

Arcade Fire on Fresh Air

NPR's Terry Gross interviewed Win Butler and Regine Chassagne on today's Fresh Air. Imagine my surprise and delight upon entering my car at 3 p.m. to the sounds of Intervention on Wyoming Public Radio.

Archived interview available via NPR.

Arcade Fire Sasquatch Update

Arcade Fire fan? Yes I am.

Today's evidence in the form of this beautiful memento, ordered today:

Sasquatch - Arcade Fire 5/26/07

Absolutely the greatest act of the day, the year, maybe ever. My expectations were sky high for this show, but the Arcade Fire met and exceeded all of them.

Highlights: Richard pushed Will fell leapt off the stage while roughhousing with Richard during Laika. Win dedicated Antichrist Television Blues to "Jerry Falwell, wherever he is". And a personal highlight: saw Win on his way to the Grizzly Bear show during the afternoon!

I'll try to piece together a setlist, please tell me if I've got it wrong. I'm certain of the first four, and the last five, but the middle of the set was a blur of happiness. I know they played all these songs but not positive of order. And sorry for crap photos ;-)
