Arcade Fire Gigs

I was at both Arcade Fire gigs in Dublin’s Phoenix Park the last two nights. For the second gig, I remembered to bring my camera along to take a few snaps. I recorded the whole of “Intervention” too. It’s a poor quality video but I was really only messing around. I wasn’t intending to record the full song but I stuck it up on youtube anyway because, well, have you seen some of the crap that gets uploaded there?

The gigs themselves were excellent, with the second being slightly better than the first. Mostly because we arrived there early and got pit passes but even more mostly because they improved the setlist a little – dropping Black Wave/Bad Vibrations and adding in both Windowsill and Headlights Look Like Diamonds.

This was a terrible quality photo but I attempted to unterriblize it by playing around with some effects. Looks kind of interesting now, I think.

Although both gigs were thoroughly enjoyable, they couldn’t get near their Electric Picnic 2005 performance. That bordered on a spiritual experience!
