Arcade Fire - We Used to Wait | Reading Festival 2010 | Part 13 of 16

[boardproductions]

Why are the people trying to clap along with the piano intro?

[jav9err]

5 people Dont used to wait

[2531jae]

Sarah Neufeld is beautiful good song

[chyloto]

What a band!

[lemans24fan]

whats the protocol for throwing out a trash can?????????

[bassEADG]

@lemans24fan - recycle it

[marilesmanga]

power out? hahaha #fail 

[MaTTyWiLLiSx]

Im assuming the 3 people who clicked dislike were deaf and the whole 'Power Out' title mix up send them over board

[Iphone4isnumber5]

I love this song

[4demon9]

This was an amazing performance, but sorry Regine your timing on piano was way off.

[TBW92]

@4demon9 Actually, what you're hearing is the echo on the piano. The echo was turned up much louder than the original sound. If you listen to Crown of Love you can hear the same thing. It's kinda distracting but it isn't the worst thing ever.

[4demon9]

@TBW92 Yeah, didn't really ruin the performance.

[4demon9]

WIN RAMPAGE!!!

[bassEADG]

TESTIFY!

[aretiredsuperhero]

lol 5:10 you can hear someone in the crowd singing Wake Up!

[snotsthepig]

i just weed in my pants.

[Melanie36740]

I'm going to see this live.. And I have to say I'm pretty excited about it.

[DinaanBumm]

@Melanie36740 hyde park see you there

[Melanie36740]

[alekirikas]

ΤΑΞΙΔΙΑΡΙΚΟ

ΕΛΑΣΣΟΝΑ



[bassEADG]

@alekirikas - It's all Greek to me :)

[earzmundo]

the violinst looks like chloe from smallville and i lover her...and this song...fuck yeah

[ChrisUG]

Regine is not happy about her out of sync piano!

[jouetdudestin]

omg all the screaming girls O_O

[jagger1001]

whatever happened to the cordless mic :)

[kmikee]

@jagger1001 It seems that Win won't give up his vintage ElectroVoice EV 664, even for one song. LOL! Yeh, I'm an old concert sound guy from the '60s & '70s.

[TheAutonomiser]

@kmikee Yeah but I am pretty "shure" he has a Shure Beta 57 inside that EV 664 shell.

[kmikee]

@TheAutonomiser Yep. It looks like you're correct. I found a close up photo, but I think it's a 58 with a beta 57 windscreen. You can see the number 58 in the photo.

[MrLewi212]

why do the R+L guys always get the songs wrong, dont really care they could fart in my face when this is on and i would still enjoy it, so glad i was present at this!

[MrLewi212]

why the hell for the past few songs has it had the incorrect songs come up, dont care really they could fart in my face and id still enjoy it, so glad i was present!

[yupyup51]

i like how he whips his hair at 51 and no reference to tat annoying song :)

[TheoHuxtable07]

Guys, I'm not crazy, but this performance reminds me of U2 when they used to be good, specifically when "Sunday Bloody Sunday" came out. This video reminds me of that U2 music video. I think it's because of the same genuine energy in the songs.

[NoelKilledZombie]

The only thing bugging me is the drums and piano being out of sync. Other than that, amazing as usual.

[svenpenie]

@NoelKilledZombie the only thing that is out of sync is the piano it's really annoying she plays it faster and slower every time think she doesn't know how to play it once speed or something. but as you said it is a great performance

[WaterLilyDreams]

this is going to be absolutely amazing at bonnaroo! I can't wait :D

[mikeks0t]

Hi folks! Good job. Saw your writeup in the ham mag QST. Like the drum logo and the old QSL cards on the big screen. 73 & 88 de KS0T Duluth.

[howardmoon1234]

4:10 the Arcade Fire symbol for the third album (you know, the black diamond with AF in it) is in the background and again at 4:18

[musicloverkl]

Such power; such brilliance. Such unique, raw, unmatched musical exploration, in sound and lyric. Just breathtaking.

[gogolplex74]

lol what's up with these random backgrounds?

[PoisonedApathy]

@gogolplex74 The backgrounds are letters, postcards and stamps. "We used to wait for letters to arrive" :)

[howardmoon1234]

@gogolplex74 they're postcards. This song is inspired by the notion that no-one takes the time to write letters anymore and everything must be fast and immediate. We Used To Wait... now we're too impatient.

[Sellout234]

How can one person dislike this :D this was awesome live :D

[Got2Bored]

@Sellout234  you were there?

[gentoo1991]

@Got2Bored Yeah front row all the way straight after the libertines :P

[Got2Bored]

@gentoo1991 damn...... SCREW YOU LUCKY POEPLE xP

[MrsPopeJohnPaul]

it's weird, i don't remember there being a delay in the piano when i was there..

[freydey]

lol power out?

[troyr92]

Regines timing isn't out. I think it's the echo perhaps? Or the amp? But you can hear this delay quite a bit on "The Suburbs" and "Crown of Love". Saturday at Reading is my highlight of my year so far!

[domlo66]

@ArcadeFireTube2 no its cos they've got this delay on the piano- you can hear it thoughout the whole gig. It must be pretty offputting to Regine or anyone who plays the piano

[scottybeans]

she's perfectly on time

the main channel for the piano is non existent

same effect on the suburbs

seems like there were tons of mixing problems on this show

[basketcase5295]

any one else notice that regine is usually just a tad off beat with her piano skills in this song? haha its okay regine we still you love you

[ProspectHammer]

@basketcase5295 The Suburbs and Crown of Love have similar problems. I'm guessing it's because the microphone is recording the initial sound as well as the echo. Since the echo will take slightly longer to reach to microphone it will make it sound like the notes are doubled.

[basketcase5295]

@ProspectHammer that makes sense. hmm

[ProspectHammer]

@ProspectHammer to reach "the" microphone

[BrandonsVictim]

@basketcase5295 Id say its cause its a festival,there not in a closed space so it's alot harder
