Arcade Fire - Month of May | Later Live... with Jools Holland, 2010 | Part 2 of 2

[MartaStarbucks]

oh my GOD.

[chyloto]

This band can do it all. Incredible!

[maclennan73]

Even though they persist with that gypsy chic look and cut their own hair in wacky ways (all of which made me think they were just trying too hard).......they still manage to sound huge (especially here) only proving that, although popular (and commercial) they really are something special.

[johnforcamerica]

@maclennan73 I still believe that girl gives identity to the band

[anonymissdeb]

True greatness is not always understood at first. I didn't like them when I first heard them. SORT OF liked them the 2nd time. The third time I couldn't stop playing and stayed on youtube listening to every song I could for about 4.5 hou;s straight. Their challenge, I imagine, it to keep that high octane energy from getting away from them and just sounding like noise. Their genius is they make you feel like they are about to lose control. Effen LOVE this group!

[Thom0890]

I don't even know what to think about them anymore... I mean, it's not like a band... it's so much more, they're just incredible, amazing, awesome... honestly they're better than any band i've seen on stage!!!!!!

[JetMetropolis85]

Richard kills the guitar in this song.

[4demon9]

I just love Will's scream and the elephant noises Richard makes with the megaphone!!!

[cdea1]

I just paid £94 to see them at edinburgh castle in september... judging by this video it'l be worth every penny:-)

[adamgergich96]

2:31 worst camera cut in television history????

[FucklyDuckly]

@adamgergich96 thought the same, fucking wanted to see that jump

[EnjoyTheSurface]

i wanna see and hear this band live, before i die.,,.,

[555bladerunner]

Funny how their live performances are often better than studio. Richard Reed absolutely rocks in this piece. And notice how Sara glances offstage at 2:53 and smiles. She's got that look; like she KNOWS they nailed it! Amazing performance!

[feba95]

EVERY performance they do they look like kids in a candy store, experienced kids.

I love it!

[788269]

I just like how big Win Butler is. Like at the end when he's walking off of their little prepared performing area. He's pretty fucking intimidating. Rockstars should be a little scary.

[columbiars]

min 2:29 max hell yeah!

[tehscott]

so young. so young. so much pain for someone so young

jesus he nails that line.

[KeithOlands]

Jesus - I keep trying to get something enjoyable out of this band. But this is just unlistenable. Those Grammy performances were just godawful for a band with a few good songs.

[Andre121194]

i thought he was ganna go smash the guitar :O that would of been fricken awesome! 3:30

[RingoWinfrey]

Do I see Adele on the right at 0:08 ??

[zickzackhosenkack]

@RingoWinfrey yup :)

[monsters247]

wat kind of guitar is the singer using anybody knows ?

[fern244]

This is the best live performance of this song out there. I challenge you to find me one that sounds better. Seriously.

[Lutoniro]

This song was made to be performed live. I dont get crazy about the album version, but this is just overwhelming, now ill go and pick up my brains.

[elieplus]

Amazing !!! How energetic, i feel like climbing a mountain after this one!

[Nostalgios]

@elieplus Month of May, it's a violent thing.

[vinunleaded]

Astonishing what you can do with four power chords!

B5 E5 G5 A5.

I fucking love it!

[platypae333]

This was one of my least favourite songs from the Suburbs up until today when I suddenly fell in love with it.

[cassino761]

@platypae333 well it's been the same for me for two or 3 monthes now, so enjoy !

[MonitorMx]

IMPRESIONANTE!!!! O.O

[MagneticZeroFlowers]

This is STELLAR! I love them!

[mickdimas]

Happy May Day!



[liliana93]

do these videos take incredibly long to load or is it just me???

[nataliafaun8]

@liliana93 that's Win's fault. Hes a giant)))

[spydereleven]

@liliana93 Probably youtube tbh... i got annoyed with it so i upgraded my internets.. i think youtube dedicates bandwidth for VEVO bs

[CerpinTaxt1983]

gonna see them in July and Broken Social Scene in August. They are my 2 favorite bands and they are from Canada as am I :)

[nrsrymj]

I hated this single at first. I was like "What is this Queens of the Stone Age"? But then I remembered: They do it all.

They should rap.

[unicornhugger88]

ahhh i just jizzed!

[Dirish666]

Yeah BBC 2 .It has 2 8 week runs from may 2 june and october 2 december but i hear it might b getting scrapped cause BBC gave all their money 2 jonathan woss.

[mguygh]

the two girl on the strings are hot

[thecelticmandolin1]

What channel is Jools Holland on? I've seen so many good artists on here.

[nodgerdodger]

@thecelticmandolin1 BBC 1 or 2 normally late at night.

[einXtein]

Some Quebecois don't suck. Some.

[chappelldrew]

any band with two drummers has my vote

[markieowen4eva]

I didn't even like this song until I saw this.

[mnmcrue]

1:10 :)

[yonkytriel]

Just Amazing ! O.O

[Papadupulous]

What kind of guitars do they use in the vid? The bass looks like an Eastwood, but I dunno about the others...rr

[iSabotage]

@Papadupulous Chances are it isn't eastwood, eastwood makes replicas. A big band like Arcade fire would prolly use the originals.

[stacybearable]

This song defo took a bit longer to grow on me , probz because its really different to most of their stuff, anyone who dont really know their stuff , this probz aint the best song to listen to for an example of their music, look up ...wake up, rebellions, tunnels, we used to wait, well and the lighthouse, keep the car running.... Most of these songs are the very reason i got into arcade fire... And now i couldnt live a day without listenin too them... They really are the best band, in my lifeti

[luyendao]

Wow how much Jools has aged!

[ahmdsyhmi]

they deserve more than 'Album of The Year' 

[RingoWinfrey]

shocked! shocked! shocked! shocked!

[billas1515]

@RingoWinfrey We were shocked in the suburbs!!

[alepulsar]

the sound in this video is kind of crappy; but it doesn't matter...what a great band!!!!!

[mrbiggles52]

Barbra Streisand was shocked in the suburbs!!

[soulflower84]

vince vaughn??

[winonarunner]

Wow just heard this on the Grammies and had to see if this song is really as bad as it sounded a bit ago, and now they just won and are playing another song, wtf is going on. I don't hear anyone saying encore?

[mysteryskater48]

@winonarunner This song is one of Arcade Fire's more rebellious songs, you might like some of there more laid back songs, listen to there debut album, "Funeral"

I'm sure you'll like it.

[halifuckinfan]

@mysteryskater48 Laid back? Have you looked at the lyrics on that album? Don't lie to people.

[zammmerjammer]

@winonarunner Are you kidding? I fucking love this song! Reminds me of old skool 70s NYC punk rock.

[cmacphail85]

I love how he puts the guitar on the amp at the end

[0Joandcherry0]

Excelente su música. Vengan a Perú por favor!!!

[seblikestoparty]

I love thi so much better than the studio version!!!!!!

[nrsrymj]

1:09 -1:15

love their little synced up moves, Especially Sarah

[naseoj]

this proves that Arcade Fire knows how to rock the fuck out

[geekUSA18]

supertrixxx is right. You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar But I Feel Like a Millionaire is my favorite QOTSA song. Maybe the Battlefield 2 commercials worked it into the Arcade Fire writer's subconscious.

[supertrixxx]

veeery reminiscent of Queens of the Stone age from 2:33 and to the end.

[Ngooo]

@supertrixxx I always thought this song sounded like if QOTSA made a cover of Cactus from Pixies.

[WilfredsBackUp]

Now even the punks don't have an excuse not to love the 'Cade Fire.

[Meltdown56]

Intense

[father042]

I jut had sex

[dandelionhero]

When some people sing, it sounds like they're screaming, used to doubt it, but then I saw 0:49.

[losdaniels1990]

1:51- 1:55  º+ºTHIS IS POWERº+º

[nctarheel11]

Syncopated delirium.....love it.

[Rubywine]

Stunning performance. This is the first time I've ever felt excited about Arcade Fire. Maybe I need to look at them again...

[ValentineFenderUser]

FIB 2011

;D

[IndieMusicFan13]

I am a huge Arcade Fire fan, but I would have to say this is my least favorite song of theirs, though I rather like this particular performance. I guess Arcade Fire can do no wrong!

[tacobell0874]

I love how scuzzy those violins sound in this song. Crazy effect they have.

[torsoboy86]

watching earlier performances of this song, i really enjoy how they've grown into it. brilliant!

[TheJoedad]

At end, looks like Win planning taking guitar to audience but told to go back !

[BaskerJacobsen]

@TheJoedad I think it's because of his short jack cable :)

[muzzilaneous]

@TheJoedad lol, perhaps cause last time he broke a camera :)

[dandelionhero]

@TheJoedad I'm fairly certain he was putting his guitar down in front of the speaker to cause feedback for the ending.

[iluvhockey9]

1:06

Will <3

[thedaniel805]

awesome song from an amazing band!!!!!

[karatekween33]

1:41 marika looks like she's about to explode... what a babe.

[seblikestoparty]

@karatekween33 Yeah she is!!

[Valgarv100]

Amazing song !!!

[tycm1234]

what a fucking great band !!

[TomHook10]

Gotta love Jools "...and now let's start where we finished..."

[alexcriminal14]

Sara is so hot !

[Theblizzardking]

Wowzas!

[muteculture]

What an incredible performance!

So much energy!

[jimbobjimminy]

Oh Hai the Sex Pistols.

That's what I love about this band. Like Bowie, they can fit seamlessly into any genre

[chebguy]

That is the best performance of this song I have seen...

[ArcadeFireTube]

This is an incredible performance of this song. Scintillating!

[mysteryskater48]

@ArcadeFireTube What are you doing here!?!?!?

[sunshinefromhell]

@mysteryskater48 LOL

[rolandihno]

one word....AWESOME
