Arcade Fire - The Suburbs | Later... with Jools Holland, 2010 | Part 3 of 3

[funk3yfr3shkid]

an upbeat song about a sad future...

[squeezeslemons]

Sounds just like the studio version but better....freakin awesome.

[littlebeartelevision]

best live performance I've ever seen

[yetiite]

Wow, Win's best live vocal i've heard. Which is funny, because it was also on Jools that I heard James Murphy's best live vocal during I Can Change. Something in the water there eh.

[jmaki814]

Arguably one of my favorite bands of all time! Pathetically, I just started listening to there music about 3 months ago...better late than never! What a breath of fresh air!

[SilentGunman]

@jmaki814 I know what you mean. I had never listened to them before, but now after about a month of listening to their songs, they're my favorite band.

[HoneydewHuey]

This song reminds me of Tears for Fears, lyrically and to a much lesser but still 'there' extent, musically. In a good way, definitely.

[TheDesertExile]

I really didn't hit me how powerful this song could be until I saw this...I'm gonna need to listen to the album all over again lol

[fergal46]

ongeveer het beste wat ik de laatste jaren gehoord heb!

[revolutions88]

The violin players are gorgeous!

[OrgasmicTantrum93]

he is amazing

[aridnepenthe]

This song never fails to bring me to tears. It's so beautiful...

[lordbossank]

Two people are dead inside

[91airballoons]

one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!

[bongsmokinghippy]

beiber can suck my cock

[adamgergich96]

@bongsmokinghippy he probably would ha.

[thenurispunk]

french canadians are weird. and weird in my book is awesome.

[KayoDaughters87]

@thenurispunk The .members of Arcade Fire aren't natives of Quebec. Regine herself is Haiti, the rest are from through out the United States and Canada. The Butlers are from Texas.

[donnyv78]

@KayoDaughters87 Regine is from Quebec, not Haiti (it seems her parents lived in Haiti). But the band is based out of Montreal.

[whochachi]

And this video only has 43,000 views and Bieber's 1,000,000,000,000,000, why?

[isrealcaldera]

@whochachi I feel your pain.

[ZeroEntity84]

@whochachi Ah but who's music will live on and be remembered :) Arcade Fire!!

[petwin12]

@whochachi I'm a little bit disapointed that Arcade Fire have so much views. The quality of a band is not the number of views on Youtube, or the number of prizes (like this fucking Grammy that they should have refused). I really love this band because they make incredible songs and albums and they put so much passion in their shows. The problem is that this band (Win Butler mostly) takes too seriously this success (and things like number of views on Youtube maybe). (sorry for my english)

[whochachi]

@petwin12 All I'm saying is that it's sad how so few people know about this band and just good music in general and instead listen to shit radio music like Bieber.

[petwin12]

@whochachi Yeah, of course I understand completely. But Bieber sings for success, he has what he wants. Arcade Fire played songs for music (at the beggining) and now has a lot of success... when too much people know a band, it's difficult for a band not to become pretentious (U2 is a perfect example).

So, "it's sad how so few people know about AF" like you said, but it's a way to save the spirit of the band.

(again : sorry for my english... Im french)

[Nostalgios]

@petwin12 If you like a band, you like a band. I have loved them for seven years now..everything they have ever produced grows on me, and that isn't going to stop because they started to win awards, or more people are watching their videos. If you fell in love with the music in the first place..there is nothing anyone can do to take that away from you now is there? If you really want to save the "spirit of the band"...support them through thick and thin.

[whochachi]

@petwin12 I understand what you're saying, but even though they are extremely successful they are still making beautiful music. And your English is fine, it's actually better than half of the people that live here.

[wordswithnickinthem]

great song but the mixing feels off

[TheEcat777]

Jools crowds are the worst. Are they on ambien?

[TheValvesoftware]

GOD Bless!

[leighand73]

one word - amazing

[kibadunno]

What kind of bass is that?

[mastodon2806]

good song they dont need 2 drummers particularly the girl drummer

[TheHazary]

This song live is so good!!!!

[joelnohnn]

This song is brilliant and moving.

[2012LuciferRising]

Without a doubt one of the best songs ever written...reflective, apocalyptic and oddly hopeful.

[CitizenErased191]

I couldn't concentrate on the song because the back of his collar needs sorting out!!

[lyndy2010]

@CitizenErased191 Agree now I've seen it:) Close your eyes - magic

[FRHRST]

This song brings a tear to my eye. It makes me feel so happy, yet kinda feels heartbreaking. Ohh, the emotion is too much for my little hormonal teenage soul.

[guezchris]

A lovely piece of foot stomping, soul(sole) nourishing goodness.

[chutney674]

really good song. has me mesmerised from start to finish

[taylorgeorge1123]

"so can you understand, i want a daughter while im still young." gives me the chills

[shootgoats]

@taylorgeorge1123 "I want to hold her hand, and show her this beauty before the damage is done" Brilliant...

[TheAlicepip]

I love the emotion on Wins face from 2:50 until the end

[bj80]

quality song, quality recording. later with jools always produces near studio quality recordings! and people say the album is over produced, sounds the same live to me!

[bz4kh]

THIS is art. Exceptional.

[MrMoodysGarden18]

1:26

her face???

[bongsmokinghippy]

2 people like justin beiber

[hplayer081]

I hate that we don't get this show airing regularly from where I am.

[ShakeitSofiia]

it freaks me out that this song, or others by this amazing band, doesn't play on the radio in Portugal (as far as I know).

[andrewjcmillar]

playing edinburgh castle september :O so awesome

[Funstify]

@andrewjcmillar Yes, it will be

[Groundbase]

great song, dunno why they need two drummers though

[ChrisMillerMusic11]

@Groundbase

They're a band of multi-instrumentalists. The woman plays so many different instruments and she was delegated to drums on this track, I suppose. Not sure of the exact logic, but she's not just a drummer.

[mysteryskater48]

@ChrisMillerMusic11 I wouldn't say that, Regine plays a pretty nice beat in Tunnels.

[ChrisMillerMusic11]

@mysteryskater48

That's what I was saying. I meant I'm not sure what the exact logic of putting her on drums in this song, because two drummers aren't really needed in this song, but she does more than just drums in the whole scope of the band.

[luyendao]

@ChrisMillerMusic11 You mean Regine ;-)

[FRHRST]

Such a beautiful song.

[nrsrymj]

I could watch Sarah Neufeld play the violin forever.

[Mlee20202]

@nrsrymj Agree 100%

[chutney674]

heard this the first time it was played on the radio on zane lowe's show. didnt really like it thou. now listening to it again i realise that it is a wonderful, beautiful peace of music

[blackbeltbrown]

what is the guitarist using? as a pick thing? in the verse..

[holdsteady25]

@blackbeltbrown i think its an e-bow

[soleilmh]

I love Tim's hair!!! 1:30

[Lawman05]

The emotion in Win's voice is just amazing. Bring on 1st December!

[23lFrench]

@Lawman05 Im going to be there aswell, VIP BOX!!!!!!

[Mlee20202]

I like 2:29

[starstruckstarfuck]

I am glad that for this tour they actually gave Marika a mic :D

[Mlee20202]

@starstruckstarfuck Which one is Marika?

[starstruckstarfuck]

@Mlee20202

the blonde violinist

[karatekween33]

@starstruckstarfuck me too, she actually has a very lovely voice! if you've ever heard her in her band silver starling you'll know

[starstruckstarfuck]

@karatekween33 Yeah I checked out her band after seeing her sing here to see what she does sound like ^_^

[livininTBSkliniek]

@karatekween33 isn't that sarah neufeld?

[karatekween33]

@livininTBSkliniek the blonde viola player in the silver dress is marika anthony-shaw, the brunette violin player in the blue dress is sarah neufeld

[totomorris]

Great musical backdrop too life. Moving vocal live performance.

[rareflorence]

4:57 i love her insane amounts

[rareflorence]

3:49 i love her more!

[rareflorence]

2:18 i love her!

[isrealcaldera]

They came to Los Angeles and they were AMAZING!!!!

SO much energy in their atmosphere

lights and voice and instruments just take you away absolutely breathtaking

[fatihozenFB]

Last night at BBC, few minutes away from my home...I cannot wait to see them on the 1st Dec in London!

[naseoj]

fucking gorgeous.

[prodigyofpeace1983]

Great performance everyone! I hope you make it to my part of Texas one day. Would love to catch your show in Lubbock, Midland, or Odessa.

[Theblizzardking]

Omg, they should've clapped a lot louder.

[lyndy2010]

@Theblizzardking Think they were stunned. So brilliant and emotional

[steveh]

@Theblizzardking

we're British, we don't clap loud.

[booshaddict1990]

@steveh speak for yourself lol
