I know Coachella keep their recordings after the livestream but this is an all time Arcade Fire set. They sound incredibly tight. When you consider the songs they’ve left out, it really was incredible! really excited about the possibility of a similar set at the farm, hopefully longer!!

Bucketsquad Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I enjoy that so much, I'm listening at work so I had to be quick with the volume when he was swearing between songs but that just kept me on my toes haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mwk525 Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 This is the first time I’ve ever listened to arcade fire (apart from wake up from the money heist ) and that set has sold me on them! Can’t believe I’d never listened to them properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transition from Powered Out to Rebellion lies is just perfect. Works every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a good set when they do that transition. I haven’t had the chance to watch the Coachella set yet but I’m looking forward to seeing it. It’s really exciting having them back, they’re the best live band around for me. I know it was criticised as an album but they were on incredible form during the Everything Now tour. They seem to be going about this album campaign in a better way too, playing smaller shows to get people excited again and not annoying people like the Everything Now promo stuff seemed to. For all they’re maybe not quite the size they once were, I think this album will go a long way to putting them back there. Their popularity might vary a bit at times but @Ddiamonddis spot on with his comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has confused me, sorry, has it been released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 18 hours ago, dotdash79 said: I think festivals have done well this year as the holidaying aboard option was uncertain due to covid, as the picture is clearer expect the bump to be over. I expect a couple to sell out fast but the rest to struggle. I'm not sure - Reading/Leeds sold out in a day and I don't think a whole lot of people who booked that chose it instead of a holiday due to the age demographic, same with Boardmasters. I think there will be a few more years of this and then it will calm down a bit. I wonder if the cost of living crisis is helping festivals vs abroad holidays or hindering them.

Johndenis Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 8 hours ago, Ddiamondd said: To stretch the Talking Heads comparison to breaking point — it's really heartening to know that a) AF still have it in them to pull out Road To Nowhere / Wild Wild Life-level late career bangers nearly 20 years in b) Whatever intra-band friction led to Will's departure and EN's vague air of self-loathing has been mollified, rather than leading to their splintering. Not sure Win's solo career would be as vibrant as David's. They're better together. I've seen AF many times and enjoy them a lot. However I think it's quite a stretch to compare them at all to Talking Heads. AF have much less "crossover" hits and they've also probably come over a shorter time frame - 8 years? The new song that I've heard sounds like an average tune is being disguised with a fair amount of bluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking Heads: 3 Arcade Fire: 2 However...and again, in my opinion, assuming the general public will only listen to the Radio 1 of their time...but Arcade Fire are just better. Their two mega hits are as good as Psycho Killer and Road to Nowhere and Once in a Lifetime, despite being big, is shit. It's their Everything Now. Arcade Fire's first three albums decide the war. They win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
