Arcade Fire & David Byrne - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) at Irving Plaza

[DrRosenpenis]

Plenty of awesome here. Byrne has fantastic hair.

[PoetryHound]

crappy sound quality. Thank goodness there are other vids of this tune with AF with Byrne.

[5AU5AGEROLL]

Is this the Skrillex remix version?

[walterbrob]

I cant believe in this day and age something with this sound quality stumbles across the net.Does noone have a decent copy?

[dacaplan]

@walterbrob This video was posted 5 years ago, it was not shot "in this day and age." At the time, pocket cameras did not take high quality video, as I have said several times in the comments. This is the only copy on YouTube, so instead of complaining, maybe you should just be happy that you saw it all.

[DXslilgangsta]

what brand of toaster did you record this with?

[NonSilentKiller]

goddammit i wish we could actually hear what's going on

[walterbrob]

so///nonone got a decent performance of this????

[girlwiththeorangehat]

Awww this is soo sweet, I kinda wanna cry! :,)

[kyucka]

sound is just perfect for message and time....:D

[RuledByMars65]

and YOU LOVE ME TILL MY HEART STOPS!

Love me till I'm dead

[mrshbtnms]

Quality of video and sound are both poor but ya got love David Byrne !!!

[roadcspeed89]

just found out about this guy and man i wish i was their you can just feel how awesome the atmosphere was. Any luck on the pro video of this?

[doireallyneed1]

Is there another video of this moment with better sound?

[dacaplan]

@doireallyneed1 Not that I know of.

[doireallyneed1]

@dacaplan,

Thanks for uploading this one. Wish I was there.

[toasterder]

Wow whoa what the...

I couldn't help but smile when I watched this. Totally felt it, it was great even through this crappy video... man I would probably have died from Euphoria if I was actually there, woot.

[anchorlove06]

Wow, they've performed with Byrne, with Bowie... Who needs a grammy with friends like them?

[blackrum55]

I love this

[luke8352]

Out of all the clips of this song on Youtube, i always go for this one. I think perhaps the distortion makes it almost unique or as if your there! I truely LOVE this song.....

I'm so glad Wall Street 1 & 2 kept it alive :)

[variationsthereof]

ohhhhhmyyyy god... i totally wish i could have been there

[dacaplan]

@variationsthereof It was epic.

[dacaplan]

@variationsthereof It was epic.

[dacaplan]

@variationsthereof Yes, you do.

[gherinquad]

"love me 'till my heart stops, love me 'till I'm dead..."  One of my favorite lines in any song. So simple and honest and beautiful.

[Maenay]

love it, love it, love it

[newarchrk]

This is amazing

[Croutonza]

would trade my left nut to have been there for this

[milleralive]

david byrne - you are the man.

[Anella53]

I´m a Arcade fire-David Byrne´s fan, so what can I say?Amazing!!!!!!

[VioletSpanxx]

Jealous!

[ThePistolPedro]

Fucking awesom. Love the way he's still got the SMS moves!! Great man, playing with a great band....

[princessfrigga]

remember this like it was yesterday. epic epic epic. still gives me goosebumps.

[ma7t93]

does anyone know where to get this version?

[yellowpowerranger94]

god i wish i was there.

[luckyhorsecinema]

Wow ... best version i've heard since i rolled down the matahorn in an very big oil drum

[elforbez]

guess the mic was in the bass drum... lol

[RanchoCoral]

holy distortion

can we have it again less gain?

[IIIkidAIII]

its a shitty camera man you cant really do anything about this

[ButterBHG]

Yeah, would've been great had the audio been better.

[christou44]

Mon dieu que c'est beau!!! quelle énergie, j'en ai presque les larmes aux yeux...

L'enregistrement est certes dégueulasse mais alors, cette version d'un de mes morceaux préféré de talking heads est vraiment démente...

Si quelqu'un avait d'ailleurs une meilleur version de ce live, je suis preneur!! (je peux toujours rêver je sais...)

[sensi35]

wow must of been wicked atmosphere

[tsferg]

This is the worst audio version of this song on youtube but you can feel the energy. That is the best thing about seeing the arcade fire live, and it really comes through in this clip....love it.

[whatevs226]

thanks for posting!

[jlrme1]

Also, for the inquiring minds: this show was sold at $10 a ticket. I payed $50 at the door from a scalper, it was worth it!

[jlrme1]

The really funny thing about this show, was that from the floor if you looked up into the VIP you could see both Eric Clapton and David Bowie watching this, hanging over the rail. To think I just ended up there on a whim after a failed apartment search in Brooklyn.

[dudi137]

That's unreal. Unreal.

[sparkleewater]

I am so envious of anyone who saw this show.

A magic collaboration! I have loved David Byrne since he started with the Talking Heads The Arcade Fire is one of the most outstanding bands currently. Like the bands of the 60's---they they ask us to think and be beg them to 'keep it up'. I love this video just wish audio was better but I WILL certainly take what I can get, here.

[amatoanima]

OMG!

I wish the audio was better,

BUT OMG!

: )

Someone, anyone have a better clip? (still thank you for posting)

[sporky3333]

Two GREAT acts - one really lousy sounding video.

[ronannestor]

savage. shame about the quality though. Still... savage.

[saveandquit]

wow!, just wow!!!

[RobotGirlCandySwirl]

This is beyond amazing. Like, David Byrne. Whoa! I love how they all keep looking at him, and they're clearly like "I'm on stage with David Byrne!". Ahh.

[eeelectricboogaloo]

david byrne + return of tim's zombie dance = awesome.

[darklordrandy]

David Byrne is quite simply is the man. Also just picked up Neon Bible and am really enjoying it. I so wish I was at this gig.

[theshakedownstreet]

HAhA ARCADE FIRE N DAVID BYRNE WOOT

[jlrme1]

I was at this show. This song was a perfect ending to one of the best lineups I've ever seen. Thanks for posting this.

[rattlesnakeCdla]

david byrne is the best, thanks for posting this.i made a video of whales edited to this song, check it out if you like.

[TykoEaston]

Fantastic! I actually love the raw distortion in the bass that occurs with footage like this. I thinks it's so exciting! (as if David Byrne isn't enough musical titilation)

[reyesauteur]

would have fainted. im sure

[askl23]

Bass?! Needs more cowbell!

[BettyDane]

I just love what he does with his hips :-) I'd almost forgotten that he does that thing live. Tour again, DB!

[rumoso]

i have 2 words for whoever posted this: THANK U!

[commodoresparty]

the bass is straight outta a techno dance party...Dance? Don't mind if I do! UTZ UTZ!

[mermaid86]

ha ha ha....that was a funny comment. UTZ UTZ (keep the party going)

[bubbrubb1]

my god. i wish i was there.

[dangergoat33]

if you google around there's a wav with much much better audio quality

[sanddreams0]

Could you give a link? I can't find it...

[TangerineNZ]

go david byrne! you rock baby.

[telaw]

great if not for the killer bass..

[farmarmy]

that level of bass = hearing loss

[farmarmy]

what is with people and bass now a days

[moonlitesymphony]

These silly concerts with having pwoerfull sound...

It's a cheap microphone at a concert with LOUD SOUND. Bass can EASILYL over power the lighter frequencies on cheap microphones and even good ones.

[Daninkorea]

I can't hear the bass...turn it up~

[dacaplan]

There is a pro shot version of this show, who knows if it will ever be released.

[BustedHeart]

everything was beautiful for those few seconds of no bass...

[Karen604]

Awesome!!! i do not care quality of video-audio, this is great!

[lightupmyroom]

Oh man, and I was going to go to that show too.

[jonasbo]

at least we know it happened..

[Alianger]

great dancing, at least.. love this song.

[LobsterMassage]

I'd kill for a good copy of this audio.... send me a message if you have it.

[nuvahk]

I can't even distinguish David Byrne's voice.. you the sound quality is bad WHEN.... Thanks a lot for posting this, as beggars of course, can not be choosers.

[Ric33333]

Pump up the volume !

[dacaplan]

Folks, this was shot on a canon sd400 with a small condenser mic on it. The sound was never going to be any good.

[bitemyballz]

Sorry, we the viewing public have become jaded and spoiled. Thank you for posting this, I do enjoy watching it.

[DudermanGG]

@dacaplan Don't you mean 'shot on a small, portable microwave-oven from the late 80's' ?

[awwjeah]

This could have been fucking awesome. What the fuck? Why did someone set the base to "kick your fucking ass."

[Qchucka]

this would get a much better rating of the sound didnt suck, thats a shame....

[themanwhoshotfirst]

sounds like a xiu xiu remix

[Yewneekorn]

heh, so true. Anyone want to clean up the sound? I'll pay you in juju fruit.

[bitemyballz]

Nice visual of David with the band but the sound sucks.

[benskiboy]

wow

[ocottsatman]

My friends went to this concert and made fun of me for not going. It sucked, I wish I went. This a great song played by another great band.

[Ghettoyuppie]

my favorite song also, and a very cool version of it.

[masqueradefilms]

this is a cool version of my favourite song
