Arcade Fire fans here? New video of 'Arcade Fire' live & awesome.

I guess this was broadcast on TV last night somewhere in Europe. It's from their performance at the Les Eurockéennes Festival, Belfort, France in July of last year. Only six songs on the video, but they are all great. The audio isn't too bad. I had it really cranked up on a good stereo system. This is the first good video anyone has seen of them doing 'Suburban War' live. That is my current favorite song of theirs. Absolutely brilliant!

The sound is better than most .... Reading 2010 has a delayed piano sound that is obnoxious ... some others dont promote the strings as mush as they should ....

GREAT stuff .... thanks so much ....

Wet meaning that there was a delay effect on the piano that belongs in the house mix, but not the mix for video.

I know that Regine would never be out of time like that.

And you are correct about the strings. They are intended to be prominent in the mix. They are a very important element in AF's soundscape.

'Suburban War' gives me goosebumps. Love the thundering drums at the end.
