Wed 26 Sep – The Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem
Lierally, the best 2 and a half hours of my life. Danced for about an hour to LCD's electric jams. They played all their crowd pleasers including Daft Punk Is Playing At My House, Tribulations, Someone Great (featuring Regine of Arcade Fire on xylophone), and North American Scum (featuring Arcade Fire's Win Butler on backup vocals). Their set was about 10 songs long. I can't remember exactly how many. Then came the main event: Arcade Fire. They opened with Black Mirror off their newest album, Neon Bible, to a crowd of over a thousand people. This was followed by a non-stop, in your face slew of musical genius including Haiti, Intervention, Neighboorhoods 1,2, and 3, and(Anitchrist Televison Blues), among others. They closed with Rebellion(lies) but were then called back for an encore by a crowd still thirsty for a little more AF. They then played Old Flame from the Arcade Fire EP followed by the powerful Wake Up to finish things up. Then they bid us adieu and went on their way. …
