Clips From Arcade Fire’s Madison Square Garden Concert Last Night

August 6th, 2010

I’m still digesting The Suburbs, but here are some good clips from the Terry Gilliam-directed, YouTube-broadcast Madison Square Garden set last night. I’m diggin’ all the color in the band’s outfits (you’ll recall the black and white Victorian steampunk steez the band employed in years past), and jeezus christ, how tall is Win Butler?? Anyway, this seems to be the only three videos released so far (aside from this backstage prep one). I was kinda hoping for a “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” or a “Suburban War”, but beggars can’t be choosers, I s’pose.

Update: Some of the videos were moved or altered somehow, but they seem to be working fine now. They also have more songs up now at the YouTube page.

I haven’t seen a Seattle or Portland date yet, but they have almost zero shows booked for September and October. Let’s hope!

Update 8/11: Arcade Fire will be in Seattle Sunday September 26th at Key Arena (bah!).
