  • 18 people's computers audio isn't working, so they turned on their radio and played Lady Gaga over it. Looks like it didn't turn out so well...

  • They are so talented it's untrue. There really is no other band these days that live up to the standards of Arcade Fire.

  • COME ON ALEX. YOU CAN DO IT. COME ON ALEX. THERE'S NOTHING TO IT!!!

  • there are 18 assholes that doesnt like Arcade Fire

    and what arcade fire rocks

  • their music calm my soul=D

  • damn you guys are awesome wish i could see you guys live that would be sweet

  • 47:05 See the smile on James Murphy face, he likes Arcade Fire

  • look at all that sweat! lol i appreciate their effort, creativity and happy that they are enjoying the epic performance! he doesn't need to go to a sauna lol

  • the sprawl ii mishap starts at 1:19:33

  • my hair stood on end. and I cried a little

  • THiS IS MY FAVORITE BAND!!!!!

  • i cant breathe

  • thank you grammys for finally making sense

  • just found this band after watching an interview of Trent Reznor (nine inch nails) who claims theyre an amazing live band...and they are. hes right. glad i found this band!

  • i luv it cuz non of them play only 1 instrument..... its all most like there were instruments up there and they took turns playin them

  • i love how they play all of their songs like it's an encore...a.k.a. play every song like it's their last, they just give you all they have

  • Best band since Joy Division. Suburbs and Radiohead's "King of Limbs" will be the best albums for, at least, next ten years.

  • @Calyn666 'King of Limbs' isn't a good album, too much electronic for an ''Indie Rock'' band. Arcade Fire's albums are much better, so lets talk about that instead of the hyped Radiohead.

  • @NotImportante82 Who said Radiohead is a indie rock band? You can never put a label on Radiohead and i like to keep it that way in general :) I don't want to compare these two albums. They are amazing.... separately. Arcade Fire are an incredible band. They released 3 studio albums and all 3 are masterpiece.

  • @calyn1984 I totally agree, The Suburbs and The King Of Limbs are fantastic for two complete different ways. Come to think of it, Arcade Fire and Radiohead are fantastic for two complete different ways.

  • that was absolutely amazing. i almost felt like i was there!

  • the dj/percussion boy is absolutely nuts!!!! i love it! lol he's really feeling the music :D

  • This is a band of true musicians! You have to see them live if you haven't yet! Get their albums and listen to them from start to finish. Amazing!

  • Holy balls, is that a carbon fiber violin?

  • I noticed they seem to actually want to be there unlike most bands/artists who show up and do a mediocre performance. There always smiling and that's the main reason I want to see them live.

  • mh hmh mh mh nice

  • What people need to know about youtube is that pressing F5 skips any adds and installing Ad Block Plus on Firefox will skip any and all ads automatically. Even the ones that surround the screen. So stop bitching, use IE for the most important thing it's ever been used for, which is downloading a better browser, and enjoy add free videos. Freaking morons i tell ya.

  • Check out related videos BLISS GRIZZLY man in a dryer!

  • I can't believe I'm just getting into this band now. The Suburbs is far and away one of the best albums I've ever heard

  • I like sponsored videos better than the shaky ones with someone in audience badly. thank you veto.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

  • i love um, don't even know their names lol but the lead singer has one heck of a hair style, it goes so well with his bell bottoms lol

  • @homeddepo the lead singer is win butler

  • This band means so much to me. Seriously, their music has gotten me through so much.

    Thank you, Arcade Fire, for making the world that much more awesome.

  • Is it me or could it all be louder.

  • @aulleri It's not you, man, believe that

  • Come to Philly!

  • this might be the only time i say this, but THANK YOU VEVO, for posting this, and thank you arcade fire, for being jesus.

  • I wish the arcade fire never won that grammy, so we don't have to deal with people insulting the band...

  • Did I nail this or what with my comments on Saturday b4 the Grammys? I told everyone I knew "Arcade Fire Arcade Fire Arcade Fire". They all looked at me like who? what? And then waiting til 9pm eastern for thier 1st mention on the Grammys. And then hoping they rock the house. And then "BAM" from the 1st second they hit the stage they torn up the house. That was a "hell ya moment" n THEN they win Album of the Year. It was one of the greatest moments of my life. And Im freakin 50yo! Come 2 Motown

  • @MrKirkMatthews I wish my parents were like you!

  • Did I nail this or what with ,y comments on Saturday b4 the Grammys? I told everyone I knew "Arcade Fire Arcade Fire Arcade Fire". They all looked at me like who? what?

  • This is the only way I can ever re-live the AF show I went to three days before in Boston. This is a fantastic band and we get to see them at their peak. They're the next Radiohead, an incredible, transformative group that will remain important in music history for the next hundred years.

  • @JoeFox23 I didn't mean to vote down. I meant to vote up. It won't let me take it back!

  • don't people think outside of the box anymore? They manipulate the lyrics to make you think up the lyrics..i'm glad they won,plus their canadian too!!GO CANADA!!

  • @bnigh5495 well I don't see you with an album so step up your game bitch 

  • @bnigh5495 i think theyr great! i love they songs, u can say they are bad but it will still be my favourite band

  • @bnigh5495 What the band members do individually may not be that spectacular but together they can make the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. They have talent for sure. I mean, most of the band members change instruments at least 3 times during a set! And c'mon Regine is playing a hurdy gurdy! :D

  • @mackie096 FUCK YOU!!!!

  • @mackie096 So what kind of "good" music do you listen to?

    It's a shame that closed-minded, ignorant people don't understand how great real music can be. Oh well, they're missing out on life. We're living.

    Plus if you have nothing good to say, DON'T SAY IT or even bother watching/listening.

  • @mackie096 And what kind of "good" music do you listen to?

    It's a shame that closed-minded, ignorant people don't understand or take the time to appreciate how wonderful real music can be. They're missing out on life. We're living.

    Plus if you have nothing good to say, DON'T SAY IT or bother spending your time to listen/watch this.

  • @MissEdisonChen :****

  • @mackie096 Are you mentally handicapped???

    Because judging by your post you do suffer from mental retardation.

    "dis music could kill someone"

    "THIS IS BAD AND CRAP SHIT"

    Do you even know how to speak English at all>

    Come back when you take some English lessons and some maturity dickface.

  • @bnigh5495 stick to playing wow and never leaving your mom's basement plz.

  • @bnigh5495 I Agree with u man..

  • @bnigh5495 LOL Lady Gaga???

    Wow, just wow.

  • it sounds like that crappy tv on the radio to me, sorry this shit sucks

  • hahaha, I knew this would have so many comments about the Grammys because it is the first video to come up when you search Arcade Fire... Why don't you actually listen to some of their music then you can give a justified opinion. Just because you don't know their music or they won instead of your favourite artist does not mean they are a bad band. They are phenomenal and one of the best bands of the past decade. Its about time they're talent got recognised by "the mainstream" awards.

  • Comment removed

  • @myheartraterapid dude are u smoking crack?

  • @mackie096 no, I just know what good music is!

  • @harrymuse while i generally agree that VEVO is pretty sucky i doubt that this Arcade fire concert would have made it onto youtube in such a cohesive and highly quality form if it wasn't for VEVO

    So perhaps reduce the VEVO hating a bit

  • who tha fuck is them ? get album of the year?!

    damn this muhfucking band!!

  • @lusiya96 Sounds like someone doesn't have a taste in music

  • @SMFApples yeah really fed up the taste of the grammy judgement

    just based on this shit it get album of the year

    and not EMINEM not KATY not LADY ANTEBELLUM not JAYZ

    but is this few shit... they don't deserve it

  • @lusiya96 You named all radio artists, you should be happy an independent talented band won, sticking it to the corporate, mainstream, Illuminati music industry.

  • @lusiya96 Hahaha. why u mad tho?

  • @lusiya96 WHAT! They don't deserve it! They have been in the music business for a decade telling their passionate and emotional stories through song. Maybe you should see that the Grammy's aren't based on who sold the most or who is most played. It's on raw talent. These guys take 7 to 8 instruments and beautiful intertwine them. It's like a freaking modern orchestra is playing. Did you even listen to their album? They were 100% the best choice.

  • @SMFApples YOU DA MAN. Perfect answer, mate. Their music is contemporary classical/opera music, their lyrics are contemporary epic, as they portrait our world and raise it to the level of art. And who writes this is a classical musician.

  • @lusiya96 Retard, go give Eminem a reach around.

  • YOU GUYS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!11

  • i'm like a male lady gaga with a GOOGOO!!!

    killer beats, awesome guitar work, great dancing

    A mix of Techno, Metal, Hip Hop and Punk

    check my music and vids

    MAN GOOGOO

    album now available on iTunes

  • These guys have to play more dates in the States. What is up with that? Four in one year? Come on  do a late summer/fall tour this year.

  • somebody kill william butler please. thanks. everything he does is awful. oh and I was front row at this show, absolutely amazing.

  • WIN BUTLER IS THE SEXIEST MAN I"VE EVER SEEN.

  • @jimmyledzeppelin

    They're playing slightly different rhythms to give the song a layered feel. If you want to a better, more thorough application of the technique try any of the Allman Brothers Band stuff, especially Fillmore East

  • 6 people werent ready to start XD

  • fell in love with them when the funeral came out, and still love em just as much. their songs just hit the spot

  • I think I died of cuteness at 1:23:31 when Win went up and sang with Regine and tried to kiss her

  • I for one thank Vevo for letting us see perhaps the best Arcade Fire in history.

  • August 5th was my birthday, and also the day this video streamed live. I got home late around 10 and remembered about this show and started watching. I was born at 10:10 pm, and at that same time i started to watch this video. Thank you, Arcade Fire, for the best birthday present ever!

  • I fell in love with The Arcae Fire because of "My Body is Cage" and they continue doing perfect songs since then.

  • I'm 50yo and I dig the hell out of this band. One of the most positive vibes in music history! I believe thier Grammy performance will put this band over the top, as many peeps have not heard Arcade Fire yet. This band's mainstream popularity is about to explode! Please tour Motown ASAP

  • i love the semi commune feel of the band. everyone plays just about everything. except the guy who just runs around stage and bangs on shit. he is the heart of the band and this is a classic. Terry Gilliam, American Express, and Arcade Fire, we need a DVD!!!!!

  • Amazing show...amazing...totally need a dvd of this one!

  • i dont know if they purposely cut out the crowd so it would sound better? either that or its the quietest crowd ever!

  • 4 thumbs down... really?

  • I really miss Suburban War in the setlist.

  • woops

  • The crowd aren't very enthusiastic

  • The crowd aren't very enthusiastic

    

  • Great!

  • i've got an arcade foner

  • pottyjams.tumblr.com

  • They put their souls on stage thats why i love their music!!! The Suburbs - Ready To Start - Modern Man - Empty Room. Wow.... Hands Down.

  • this has got to be one of the most raw unbeleivable performances I've seen in a while..

  • Arcade Fire are the Velvet Underground of our generation

  • @adds102 The Strokes.

  • I wish I could have been there to see this too, I remember watching it at home and literally my face was plastered to the screen.

  • Make sure to watch the GRAMMY on Sunday ! ! !

  • How could the crowd just stare at Win when he went down there? Just grab him you suckers!

  • @ToblerusseArt ...she does look like Kim Clijsters. Never noticed.

  • @ToblerusseArt Yeah... She's from Montreal and wrote in French since the beginning of AF

    WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot!

    I'm not gonna say who made it, cos he lied.

    Thumbs up to keep this at top of the page!

  • @anlijur waaaaaaahhhhh. Unless you decide you want to start paying to use YouTube, it won't be changing. There are people starving, kids being murdered, oppression and genocide going on all over the world and the thing you want to rally behind is the non-commercialization of YouTube?

  • @jelswick2

    that is a good point, however to some extent helping ourselves is a stepping stone to helping others.

  • @jelswick2 While I agree with you in principle, I also think that you're underestimating the importance of music in preserving humanity.

  • @anlijur you fail to understand that youtube cannot run free of cost for our free entertainment. it cost google 700 million $ to run google and they've just started (since 2010) making it profitable after years and years of losses.

  • @anlijur Remember when you would never get an ENTIRE live concert, in high quality, directed by an awesome director? Maybe you should be thanking Vevo for giving that to you, not crying.

  • Poor sound on many of the songs, however it does give a great sensation of their actual shows, you haven't seen them? You haven't lived and should do everything in your power to change that!

  • this makes my life complete

  • I love how the audience ooh-oohs 'Rebellion (Lies)' before the encores.

  • they were brilliant in glasgow, i like how win's dad called "wake up" a scottish war song, not sure if this is true but i like the idea though

  • I wish Arcade Fire would come to Perth, Australia.

  • Is it just me or does Win seem really pissed of during Keep The Car Running? He's looking to to left of the stage and says something at 1:07:00. It sounds like "Not Now", then a guy runs on stage. Then at 1:07:44 he shouts something away from the mic.... I wonder what was wrong with him!

  • @02jonesm Fuck yeah Win Butler haha!!!

  • @02jonesm His mandolin gets unplugged and he screams "I can't fuckin' hear it!"

  • @purpleballoon15 That's what I thought happened... after I commented I re-watched it and realised what happened.

  • Is it just the video or was the crowd terrible? At the end when they started up Keep The Car Running there was a mediocre response from the crowd. I (and many other Arcade fans) WOULD HAVE GONE APESHIT, IT'S FUCKIN ARCADE FIRE!

  • @fern244 that crowd noise in Keep the car Running might be whatever Regine is playing... what is she playing?

  • Thank you for (re)posting this! Seeing them at Lollapalooza this year was the highlight of my summer and now this concert allows me to sit in my and reminisce about that great time in Chicago!

  • 47:14, under wins armpit. I swear to god thats James Murphy.

  • Anyone else a little sad to see will up there in the corner? I miss him running around and nomming on curtains.

  • best hour and 40 minutes of my life

  • sooooo goood!

  • i simply downloaded it before it was taken down the first time the whole show was uploaded...

  • just keep the whole concert on Youtube forever

  • @HamBurglerMan I've favorite it. I wish that I'll can come back watch it forever!

  • Best band of the 2000s. Enough said. 

  • Comment removed

  • No Cars No Go??? Really Vevo? Get your sh*t straight!

  • @covey715 What do you mean? "No cars Go" is on there it's #3

  • @uberretroglam thing is they said it No cars no go! Not like No cars go!

  • (only 305 views .... I am sure there will be more later)

    just love Arcade Fire! Gonna watch this all day :))

  • why aren't the crowd moving??! COME ON IT'S ARCADE FIRE GUYS

  • @ilovealexjames the concert I went to, the crowd was way more enthusiastic !

  • Booking my ticket for the MEN on friday, can't wait to get to experience this live again.

  • Officially my favorite youtube video of all time.

    You. Guys. Rule.

  • im all alone sitting here singing with my hands in the air and my eyes closed and i just realized how weird i am. god i love arcade fire

  • still as good as the first time :)

  • Ian Hecox at 4:02 ? LoL jk

  • Thank you Arcade Fire and Vevo for providing this great entertainment for free.

  • merci!! quel live!!

  • merci!! quel live!!

  • YES I can finally watch this without it having it stop every five seconds to buffer!!!

  • the production is amazing, the melancholy flows but they are a bit boring, same rythm all the time, very few pauses and very few songs memorable.

  • @Babagau I took the time to log in to a random computer to tell you youre wrong.

    they are not the least bit boring, considering every album of theres is a masterpiece. very few pauses because its simply music for the ears, no bullshit ranting of opinions or expressions being pushed onto the audience. just raw music, how can you not appreciate that? and very few memorable songs? are you fucking out of your mind? every single piece of music this band has played has become an instant classic.

  • @deathbrainsable "every single piece of music this band has played has become an instant classic." right!! Their songs are performed by David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and U2!!

  • @deathbrainsable

    they are as a good band as an indie band can be in general. Their success is mainly because of the mix of unique production, melancholic vibes and clever usage of social media. Some songs are masterpieces but I think saying this for a whole album is an exaggeration. I think their main drawback is that their style is so specific that it 'd be hard to change it and if they don't, they will just keep repeating themselves over and over. Anyway, time will show.

  • @deathbrainsable do you think they will still be listened to in 30 years, are they that classic, honestly this is the first time ive even listened to then

  • @GuitarsAreMagic there are few bands that last on a large scale for 30 years. this is the first ive heard of them and i have to say im pretty blown away. 30 years or not right now they are pretty amazing!

  • @deathbrainsable They sound a bit like The Cure
