Spot check: How recently have you seen Arcade Fire in concert?

I was sure Id regret not sticking around even before I finished my two-minute dash across the field.

Needless to say, his strategy backfired just a bit.

That probably sounds like a rock-writer cliche, and I guess it is.

But so would any of the other words I can think of to describe the nights vibe spellbinding?

For once, the hype on these guys live performance is 100 percent deserved.

Thats not to say it was always fun, precisely.

Arcade Fire makeemotionally intense music, and the mood got predictably gloomy attimes.

Too bad whenever I get to seethem again, it wont be nearly soon enough.
