Good (but not great) performance at Prospect Park tonight.

I'm still trying to figure out the significance of that girl running across the stage

dry_pretzels · 01-08-2012, 11:52 PM

NPR has an audio stream of last night's performance here, if anyone's interested.

the_gloaming09 · 02-08-2012, 02:23 AM

I saw them last night. The show was incredible! One of the best bands I've ever seen live!

It was also cool because at the end of the show as I was trying to get to the exit I was walking next to Jonsi's partner Alex which was cool but didn't want to point him out or whatever. Afterwards I was sort of wishing I just tapped him on the shoulder and thanked him for Riceboy Sleeps since I love that album.

I was considering going to the Brooklyn show, but there wasn't enough time.

According to a FB post they made she's the girl from the ryan mcginley varuð video which they released this week.

Ms Magpie · 06-09-2012, 07:09 PM

Hello. Just came here to say that last night's concert was really fucking awesome. I loved the songs and ahhh everyone loved being there on the stage and they were happy to put on a great show. I loved the projections and those little lights on the stage and just about everything. Jónsi's voice was perfect and I loved his long note thing, it was absolutely amazing. Oh boyyyyyyyyy.

I got the setlist, too.

Alien Radio · 06-09-2012, 07:43 PM

Omg, I'm so happy for you. (And envious, obviously). I didn't get to see them (school + lack of money (actually I'm saving money for Arcade Fire next year)). And they performed Vidrar, which is my favourite song ;___;

dry_pretzels · 06-09-2012, 08:27 PM

^^ That's awesome! Good to hear that they put on a great show.

Still waiting for them to come back to North America for this tour . . . if they ever do.

You should've gone, too

But I understand it was hard to swing it because it was a work/school day. Vidrar is my favourite song, too! And it was so strange when they played Glósóli... people shouted in approval and I was baffled as I didn't know people knew that song.

Are Arcade Fire doing any shows next year?

Did you miss them when they were there? I think they'll come back when they tour the next album or whatever they decide to do. It doesn't look like they'll stop.

They were one of the headliners at a music festival near my town last month, but money was a bit of an issue, so I wasn't able to go. They didn't play any of their own shows near my area either.

I'll just have to catch them the next time around.

Ms Magpie · 07-09-2012, 03:00 PM

Oh I see. They didn't play their own show here, either... it was a tiny tiny festival thing with three acts, Sigur Rós being the headliners. They did bring their own lights and loudspeakers etc. so it wasn't bad.

Hopefully they'll come back to the US soonish so that you'll get to see them, too.

Yes, unfortunately (why are all concerts I want to go to on Wednesdays???). But luckily I am able to see Radiohead.

Glosoli was actually the first song I've heard by Sigur Ros

They will release a new album in the beginning of 2013 and then go on a tour. Hopefully they'll come somewhere close. Maybe even return to InMusic festival!

Ms Magpie · 07-09-2012, 08:43 PM

I've no idea

At least it's easier to travel during the week as there are more options.

I can't remember which song I hear first but maybe it was Vaka.

Didn't know that about AF. Interesting news, I hope they'll play somewhere close to us.
