Just in case you like Arcade Fire....streamed from MSG.

Stream is kind of laggy though - lame!

Not laggy here.

Pretty cool. Amazing just thinking back 10 years how much technology has progressed.

Torture · 08-05-2010, 08:30 PM

Mine does fine for awhile and then cuts out to buffer....generally as the song is building up.

Seems to be okay (for now) though.

jayswin · 08-05-2010, 08:33 PM

Thanks! They're such a sick band.

Or a 100. Even a 25-30yr. old must be blown away.

I'm in that range, and you're right. Wait, there's Picture In Picture???? F'n eh.

Torture · 08-05-2010, 08:58 PM

This is really cool, but it would be cooler if you could change the bitrate if you're having issues with it buffering every minute or so. -_-

Reggie Dunlop · 08-05-2010, 09:03 PM

Playing smoothly here.

Thanks for the heads-up.

drewboy12 · 08-05-2010, 10:39 PM

wow video is amazing, and Im amazed how good they sound live!

drew24 · 08-05-2010, 11:13 PM

Thanks Torture... Any word on the concert being left up on youtube or am I getting too greedy?

malcolmk14 · 08-05-2010, 11:21 PM

Awesome. Arcade Fire rocks.

DownInFlames · 08-05-2010, 11:29 PM

That was great. I hope they come back here soon.

malcolmk14 · 08-05-2010, 11:30 PM

This is apparently just the first of five "American Express: Unstaged" live streamed concerts on VEVO/YouTube.

I wonder what the other dates/bands will be?

J pold · 08-05-2010, 11:36 PM

The Suburbs is outstanding. The Arcade Fire is an amazing Canadian band, that could be the best ever before they're done.

I thought the main guys in the band were from Boston or something and just recently moved to Montreal? Not a Canadian band per se, but still close enough!

Great band.

Great band.

pretty sure theyre MTL through and through

the show was great, they sound so good live. Really liking the new cd as well. Gotta catch them when they come back out to BC.

Apparently Win Butler moved to Montreal in 2000. He is a Yank, but his wife/singer is from Montreal.

icarus · 08-06-2010, 04:47 AM

Win Butler's youth in the suburbs of Houston provided a lot of the inspiration of the new album I believe. I think just about everyone else in the band is Canadian though?

Saw them in January 2007 and I have wanted to see them again ever since... and I will be in three weeks when they headline the Reading Festival!

Wicked band live.

East Coast Flame · 08-06-2010, 08:29 AM

Do you guys know if this is going to be available on demand? I missed it last night and I can only find three songs on it this morning.

Apparently the next bands that are doing this are John Legend and then the Roots.

enthused · 08-06-2010, 08:57 AM

Damn, I wish I hadn't missed this. I had tickets to see Arcade Fire in Manchester a few years ago, but my tickets got lost in the mail. One day I'll finally see them!
