Alice Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Aww so I finally saw them 10 days ago ! They were incredible ! The quality of the sound was awesome too. The Venue was so gorgeous. Basically, everything was perfect :heart: ! They were really nice too. :nice: And wow, one of the guitarists speaks french really well :shocked2:. Matt was also impressed because he said that we were the first crowd ever that actually clapped at the end of the certain song (I can't remember which one, argh!! :confused:), apparently people always clap at the certain moment they think is the end of the song but isn't ! :smug: But Laura, I can't say they were better than Vampire Weekend :tongue: because those were equally awesome, seriously ! Edit : They didn't play the new song. :disappointed:. The setlist was great though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejan Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I had a great time, this might be my favourite concert of the year so far (music wise anyway) have you ever been to some "non music concerts" before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fietssleutel Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Did you see them at Osethingie? have you ever been to some "non music concerts" before ?Aww, I nearly missed this post. :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah... though I was standing to get a good spot for Arcade Fire so I didn't get as close as I would've liked (there were two stages next to each other... I was at one and the national was at the other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fietssleutel Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 That's harsh, basically choosing between The National and Arcade Fire. What did you think? :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I could've seen them both but couldn't have gotten close for both. So since I like AF more (though The National are great), I went w/ them. I thought The National were really great live! Definitely would see them again live!

MrMagpie Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 haha Mike I grabbed that paper on the way out of town yesterday too. Love how it talks about Lemonworld so much and they didn't even play it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fietssleutel Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Lemonwooooooorld <333333333Would love to see them live at some point :thinking:Go see them in small venues if you can. Their performance is better suited to those than to festivals and larger venues. Can't wait to see them again, next week and also in November. Both are festivals unfortunately, but I'm not really complaining about seeing them three times in half a year. :D I could've seen them both but couldn't have gotten close for both. So since I like AF more (though The National are great), I went w/ them.Arcade Fire triumphs The National hands down (depending on the location, setlist and atmosphere of course) so it's a very logical choice.

geekchic Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I was front row for them at Lolla! Matt sang Mr. November from the crowd! It was crazy. We were all jumping around him yelling the "I won't f*ck us over" part. Pictures on my Tumblr: http://geekchic0017.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Mr. November is the pinnacle of live performances. And then into Terrible Love....so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're basically doing what I did....working backwards through their discography. Its wildly satisfying. same here. The more I listen to one album, the more appealing becomes the one before it. I never planned to get Alligator until I got really used to Boxer. In a few weeks I'll probably come around to Dirty Lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
