Arcade Fire - Live at the Knust, Hamburg, May 18, 2005 (Audience Recording)

What - a - show! Arcade Fire came and blew the crowd away. They sang, cried, played, hammered, danced and ran around, some band members even climbed up the stage lights - all that happening during the first song already, collectively even increasing the madness during the show. And it was extremely loud. (I was lucky enough having my earplugs with me.) After this evening everyone of us was sure having seen the concert of the year. It was a positive earthquake we'll never forget. My then-almost-lover S. - a dedicated Cure fan - felt unable to join the rest of us for an aftershow drink. He just slipped away in silence.
By DJFK's special request you find the whole 64 minute show here as a fine audience recording @ 320 kbps. The Knust club still has a small, but very nice photo gallery online where this thumbnail origins from. You might as well like Arcade Fire's superb radio gig on KCRW (aired Jan. 15, 2005), to be heard (and seen!) here.
