Wake Up! It’s Arcade Fire Concert #2

Today was the 5th and final show for Arcade Fire at the Judson Memorial Church(flickr set) which Clarence and I had the pleasure of going to. It was frickin awesome. We saw semi celebrity, John Norris, amongst the crowd looking very blond and old. You can probably see him singing along in the video of Wake Up.

This show trumps the show I went to on Thursday big time. I am so glad that I was able to go twice. If you’ve never seen Arcade Fire live you have a chance to catch them in May. They will return to NYC for 3 shows and my recommendation would be to go to the last show.

Here’s some videos I took!

Wake Up. They opened with this in the crowd and I was right next to them!

My Body Is A Cage during the first encore.

Neighborhoods #2 (Laika) during the second encore and only the second half of it. My arm was tired.

UPDATE:
I was checking out NPR’s coverage of the concert and I found a slideshow. I was pretty close to the band during Wake Up so I decided to see if I was in one of the pictures. Here I am behind Regine with camera in hand recording the video posted above!
