The Arcade Fire

Hmm, I didn't queue for tokens, got given twice as many as I paid for (as did my friend), so got monumentally drunk for bugger all and had a great time. Loved the venue personally, felt like an indoor festival. Both support acts were awful in my opinion. Makes the mind boggle that a band gets a chance supporting a big name and then just say this is XXXX to introduce each song and then stand mot

Clinic were disappointing, Arcade Fire were what I expected. Something that's consistently hyped by all and sundry, yet fails to deliver, just as they did at Brixton. I must be missing something. Dull venue, dull crowd, dull lightshow, dull bands, dull gig. Tokens... Have none of you been to a Festival before? I queued for about 5 mins for tokens and didn't queue at all for a beer...

The venue was awful and the sound and acoustics were dire but Arcade Fire were amazing, I couldn't help feeling that they were just so much better at Brixton though, but that might have just been the venue. The event organisation was an absolute joke, I'd never been to a gig at Ally Pally before and it's unlikely I'll ever go again. I was pissed off to have missed Clinic though, were they good

They went on about 9pm and played through to 10.30pm. The queues were mad - we only just got in about 8.45pm and then spent 20 minutes queueing for drink tokens. Horrible venue and stupid organisation for gigs.

Anyone know what time Arcade Fire went on last night? I know the doors at 6.30 - just wondering how long the support acts went on for?

First time I've been to a gig at Alexandra Palace, I loved it, I was right nea the front and I almost touched Win at the end of Rebellion. Argh, so near yet so far! I just wish I'd bought £30's worth of screenprint posters AFTER, because I was fearing for them all the way through! Was being tossed around like I was cast out to sea in a storm! Amazing gig though, lost my voice completely! :)

Just fabulous. I hate the venue but had a big grin on my face all the way through. Fantastic sound, fantastic staging and visuals. Gig of the year for me.
