Last night, Arcade Fire appeared in New York in the historic Madison Square Garden and YouTube in collaboration with American Express and Vevo showed the entire concert live in many countries around the world, with Terry Gilliam as director.
Of course Greece was not on the list, because truth be told we are a small market for these companies and of course we do not have the appropriate audience that would watch Arcade Fire live. Then again, even if we did have the audience, who would choose to be shut in his house midsummer and especially in early morning...
According to SPIN , the setlist you can see below, contains mostly their new album (in a few minutes you'll read our relevant review of the album), and also some classic tracks from their two previous excellent albums ("neighborhoods", Haiti and the "lies of the revolution"):
Setlist :
Ready to Start
Neighborhood # 2 (Laika)
No Cars Go
Haiti
Half Light II (No Celebration)
Rococo
The Suburbs
Crown of Love
Intervention
We Used to Wait
Neighborhood # 3 (Power Out)
Rebellion (Lies)
Month of May
Neighborhood # 1 (Tunnels)
Encore :
Keep the Car Running
Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
Wake Up
In New York they filled twice Madison Square Garden. Rightly considered one of the greatest bands currently on the planet. In Greece would a similar concert have success?
Update 16:57 : According to our readers DandyInDisguise & Kyriakos , the concert was shown on YouTube, even though there was the announcement that it will not be broadcasted in our country.
