Hearing this song at Oxegen was honestly one of the best experiences of my life!

iMuse

That song never gets old after all this time

ElaElaElano

Jesus, someone pass me the tissues, I'm welling up.

Just wow.

MrStuffins

WHAT A SHOW!!!

What a great decision it was to think "ah, sure i'll check out the first song"

Lads, it's been emotional!

Good night.

johnny_ultimate

And it's done. Great gig, well worth staying up for.

And now as it gets bright, to bed! Cheers guys for the company

Didn't think I could love Arcade Fire more but I do now. Must admit it was an emotional ride.

was anyone else lucky enough to catch them at Oxegen this year?

Yeah. They didn't get as big a crowd as they deserved but man, the folks at David Guetta have no f*cking idea what they missed out on. They were great, but even since then, the new songs have taken on a lot more muscle. It's kind of a shame this webcast hadn't happened by then, I think people would have had a far better idea of what they're about.

Thing is, I wish they'd figure out how to nail down whatever they have live onto a disc. Month of May has been one of my favourites since I first saw them play it, but the studio version is far too flat by comparison. I wish they'd try the songs out live a few times and hammer them into shape before committing them to disc.

I wish I'd seen this thread sooner, btw.

I'm curious, have any of ye not heard them much or seen them play before?

If Jill V is online, is there any remote possibility of burning bridges? Can't describe how much I love that song.

Sorry for the delay

For what it's worth, I only know of them ever playing that once, years ago, so it's unlikely to resurface anytime in the near future I'm afraid.

Ah, that's a shame. Always felt it was good enough to emerge onto an album, in the way no cars go did, but who knows- maybe it will some day!

I'm still in a haze after that performance, they were amazing.

There is an instrumental studio version of it floating around, I can dig it out if you don't have it, but I think the lyrics are kinda the making of it.

jill_valentine

Out of interest, I think they're on Jon Stewart on the 12th.

Heisenberg.
