The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1(Tunnels) @ Lowlands

[hackett1607]

they always give their all when they're performing. it's rare these days.

[mathieuplasse1]

Best performance of this song on Youtube

[lovelivelaugh004]

Guhh! I love everything about this band-3 Including the redhead, haha!

[bassEADG]

3:04 about, it starts ramping up noticably



[blackfeiticeira]

I fucking love this b and!!!

[Wayavas1337]

this song is about the ice age

[revton3197]

@Wayavas1337 I'm fairly certain this song is about the the Ottawa/Montreal ice storm of 1998

[magpaw7782]

najlepszy utwór...kocham 

[oasaaslls2002]

Uh...SuperFelacio, sounds like you need to stick to your day job.

[bahrsalic]

i`ve seen them live in munich a few weeks ago andit was one of the greatest live show i ever seen,they had such a great clearly powerful sound and they were so powerful on stage..it was like an intimate ritual with the audience....thanxs arcade fire

[TheHungryMusic]

they hella sped through it towards the end.

[IsThisEvenEdible]

@TheHungryMusic

yeah, I don't like live versions of this song because Regine obviously doesn't practice drumming w/ a metronome

[SuperFelatio]

Are these the guys that did "I would walk a thousand miles?"

[BeatlesWooHoo]

@SuperFelatio HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA . Sir, you just made my night.

[lynelhutz]

If you were a child growing up and you suddenly realized that your parents did not control the weather. Tis song if for you, truly awesome

[jonnytheleyther]

Best band around at the moment.

[batmansascientist]

Arcade Fire blow my mind.

[deadk133]

Anyone else going to be seeing them at Lollapalooza this year?

[climber910]

Yeap... Right there, the best new band of last decade...

[Amnesiac2121]

@corncornrocks yeah, surprisingly I was still able to get pit tickets. Now its just a matter of moving my way up front. Have a good time man!

[sleuth79]

First Arcade Fire song I ever heard...never looked back.

[Amnesiac2121]

I just purchased my tickets to see them in Atlanta in August. I havent been this excited for a show since my 12 year dream of seeing Radiohead came true in 2008. I'm predicting a religious experience will be had. Cant wait!

[lazah67]

@Amnesiac2121

HELL YES! I was at the radiohead concert there in 2008 and I'm gonna be there the tenth too! Cheers man!

[corncornrocks]

@Amnesiac2121 yes i am seeing them in boston, same tour, august 1st. i almost had front row ticks but now its more like 5th or 7th. ill live.

[PrincessTigerlili]

I'M GONNA SEE THEM LIVE TONIGHT :D :D :D :D

[seaofseeof]

My (at the time) 16 year old self was there in that crowd. I'd heard the band around the time the Pitchfork hype started but wasn't really into it and I gotta say, I still am not a fan of them (always been more into Broken Social Scene), but the sheer PERFORMANCE completely and UTTERLY blew me away. Such an emotionally charged performance can't help but make an impression on an emotionally charged 16 year old. I'll never forget that performance.

[medicatedmarrionet]

GOING TO SEE THESE GUYS LIVE IN AUGUST!!!! I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!

[msane4XX]

@medicatedmarrionet HEY SAME HERE!! Where you seeing them??? merriweather post pavillion?

[reejis99]

Funny how Regine is a far better drummer than Meg White, but it's like 4th down the list of her primary instruments.

[harrynoob17]

they are so undrrated! their lead singers voice is so beatiful and peculiar at the same time

[alexcriminal14]

Its just amazing how they perfom here!

[sierrathevampire]

just an awesome band...period

[SigmaShark97]

speechless........amazingly talented.

all i have to say :)

all i should have to

[olivier92160]

an incredible band on record and especially on stage. They will be back in 2010 ...... good thing

[danyellbella35]

INCREDIBLE!!

[RogueRholm]

What a kickass song, what a great band from my hometown! Just pure awesome stuff.

[arcadefire4life]

0:03

What instrument is Richard using?

[MinistryOfAwesum]

ive seen it before, not sure what the name is, but its basically a little keyboard that makes sound like a flute, air goes in, and makes a sound depending on the note pressed. kinda like a flute and kazoo mixed? :) hope that helped.

[camelspider99]

its called a melodica.  there relatively cheap too.

[arcadefire4life]

Thanks! I'm going to buy one. (:

[inserthear]

It's a melodica if I'm not mistaken.

[vileddisorder101]

uhmm, the singing was actually really good. You try concentrating while playing a song with all that energy on stage and see the outcome. In this case, he and they did wonderful.

[thegroupishere]

it's a shame he can't sing as well as the record, but hey that's what modern music is. They definately are one of my favorite bands though

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

wtf are u talking about?

[luyendao]

lol...that says a lot! I don't think i've ever bought an opening band CD either...except for a little band named the Pixies opening up for ...well i forget the main act lol.

[MissRachiie2009]

WHAT A FUCKIN PEFORMANCE

[uluairi]

I just love their passion, impossible to do bad music with that passion.

[007Mechanix]

Awesome Song.

[Lukecf94]

Arcade Fire is definatley one f the best bands of our time. along with Sufjan Stevens and Muse.

[Galefox]

Don't forget Grizzly Bear!

[Paulhundreds]

I love these people the performance was outstanding for sure. Every single one of them were multi-talented

[Paulhundreds]

This is officially my favorite band. I love this song and their performance was outstanding!

[49tonio]

wiseguy sarah is the lovely violinist

[Ompaloompa99]

they kinda remind me of a modern ... pop ... pink floyd which is pretty refreshing to hear

[Neowilly]

a little bit, but you have to recognize that they have their own style. btw i love arcade fire

[TheKlabb]

This song changed my life...

[medicatedmarrionet]

@TheKlabb Tell me about it. =]

[mbanda07]

@TheKlabb I know what you mean. It feels like magic each time. I couldn't believe music was able to reach this levels and transmit this kind of emotions and feelings, so peculiar.

[martinka279]

so nice to listen to the mp3, but this life performance not exactly at the height. they are passional and i like this, but technique in live performance totally crap

[alexcriminal14]

@martinka279

They don't want to be perfect. Their perform is amazing, there is an emotion that we can't feel on Mp3.

[alexcriminal14]

@TheKlabb

Me too.. I can't explain.. but i feel it

[abbasitareq]

@TheKlabb =)

[49tonio]

sarah im in love with her

[WlSEGUY]

which one is sarah? drums or violin?

[Crinklefry]

This group is soooooooooo amazing - I just LOVE their sound. Thanks for sharing!

[msane4XX]

"But oh well, we'll give it a try..."

[webel789]

wow they have so much passion

[quackydoodles]

so goood!

[gabriellabellaaa]

I'm so upset I've never seen them live.

They are so amazing.

[davidnavancavan]

what a track......love it

[PleaseSuffer]

great live performance!

[domscientist]

their best song i think

great live

[bernardzyx]

Great song! Great video! and Régine rules on drums.

[Trageikeman116]

haha, she's badass, but she's fucking terrible.

[darkpanzito]

love her

[obrienaj]

Amazing.  Anyone have video of this from PBS' Austin City Limits concert (not the outdoor one) ?

[CASSIEBURLINTONG]

i don´t have words.... it's wonderful... wow!

[IvyMike777]

This is their best live song IMO. Seen them twice and both times this song seemed to move the crowd the most. Great video, thanks!

[colligsulli14]

Wow

[sparkymagoo76]

Arcade Fire has given me hope again!

[slimjim6666666666]

Great performance of agreat song..such passion & energy-there is I dare say no better live band in the world at the mo!

[guitaristX007]

switchfoot live. definitely. you gotta be there though.

[stenualdo]

@slimjim6666666666 Perhaaaaaps... but Broken Social Scene, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and possibly Fleet Foxes would give them a good run for their money!

[davidgruty]

@slimjim6666666666 i think this song is much inferior than the original. No much intensity

[armandtanzarian]

Is this the only AF song where Regine plays drums?

[IndiePolak]

She also plays drums on

The Well and The Lighthouse and Windowsill live :)

[naseoj]

and crown of love.

[larsifarsi]

CHILLS

[MrMackeyMmmkay]

This is one of the first Indie-Rock songs I have ever heard, and it's still the best.

[vertigo45]

they need a live album!

[lucyargentina]

i would buy that

[hgldypgldy]

makin a live dvd...

[jeremyput]

Wow A melodica Im really Impressed !! excellent Song. Jx

[iChromatic]

I work in a departmentstore for designer fashion (prada, giorgio armani, donny karan, dolce&gabbana, jil sander, oscar de la renta, etc) and on many days, we listen to arcade fire. a great atmosphare.

and the costumers love it, too! :D

[yarahahrwe]

I love the Killers, but it's apples to oranges. This is art, that is entertainment.

[turbak]

one of the best songs of all time and one of the best bands of all times=)

[mattcattt]

Ok why the fook have ppl negatived and marked 2 of the commemts below as spam just 'cos they sed arcade fire were not as good live as the killers... pathetic really

[1smart]

love this song........purify my mind...

[SIlvrest]

the killers comments are absolutely bias bullshit - however there was no need to thumbs them down. How you can compare a band that makes MUSIC (arcade fire) to a band that makes HITS (the killers) I do not know...I think AF fans will know what I'm talking about.

[EnigmaComposer]

lol i like how they sped up... it felt like more than some of their other live performances though lol. I was drumming along and it felt soo much faster by the end lol

[chlolou10]

i wih i was sarahs violin string...ahem! i have listened to so many bands over the yrs and none have come anywhere near this lot for moving me....they have that something extra..something special...this song is beautiful, and its amazing how their live sound tops their studio sound..i know of no other band who can do this so consistently.

[splendraville]

I agree the only band as good as this - on all levels including Live is The Killers - past and present.

[itsonlynatural]

The Killers are, in my opinion, the best band live. Their songs move me, and Brandon really rocks the show. I saw them at Lowlands and when they played When You Were Young, I had tears in my eyes.

Great performance! I'm so glad I went! I wasn't sure if I wanted to go, because my back was killing me, but all the back aches were worth it in the end! Arcade Fire give one hell of a show.

[splendraville]

Totaly agree with you! The Killers are so unbelievable Live saw them at Wembley, Sydney and Melbourne. Arcade Fire are great though a close second, but The Killers are no 1 for sure! :)

[sirmelancholia]

You're not familiar with The Who I suppose....

[shotterseire]

some one help me, i can't stop watching vids of this band.

[rarrington]

im with you mate. they are the best.

[SIlvrest]

same

[lamoleverde]

tom delonge owning backing vocals at 00:48

[0fenderbender]

hahahahaha

[xinezito]

PERFECT

[JMo93]

what is he playing at the very beginning of the vid?

[awyea]

its a melodica

[olivier92160]

they are great, perhaps best group in the world !!! will see them in Bruxelles on november 2nd

[WigglyMiggly]

Win's brother sure can sing.

[superariell]

PERFECTION!!!!!! they are the best damn band!!!! i just find myself listening to themall the time! what makes even better is trhe fact that they have so much fame, but they didnt even go major the stayed indie, and i just think that is remarkable!!!!!!!

[brahimov]

Sensational performance, amazing song. They were again great @Lowlands 2007. I'm looking forward to seeing them in Amsterdsm in November!

[joshsirjoshules]

i don't think human language can describe how great this performance is.

[undersolo]

That's why music is king!!!!! It is the universal lingua!

[DonnieDarko160983]

great performance, looking forward to see them @ vienna.

[stacey5029]

Fantastic, out of this world, I was at Lowlands with my lovely fella Jimmy and walked away in a daze after watching this so i'm just so made up to be able to watch this again - and again - so thanks xx Julie Baines

[blablaoko]

im getting in love with their music. and this song is fabulous.

[Innersoul1]

I love Regine on the Drums! Brilliant!

[Lolya44]

Ils sont passionés par leur musique... :D

[borisbellah]

Absobloody exactly!!!!!!. Ive wet my self listening to that badboy of a track ,safe.

[paranoidtolosa]

FERPECTO!!!!!

[spencerslide]

I love music, i love all kinds of music, ive seen all the key mover and shakers - you name them....thing is, no other debut album in recent times can touch Funeral and tunnels is pure and simply a masterpiece....u2, Bowie, Chris Martin and many others agree it is one of the best albums of the last 20 years and possibly the best debut ever!

[NoekieB]

Wooh, I was there! It was such a brilliant show and I fell in love with them immediately. Even my grandma loves them, haha. :D

[nash244]

brilliant

[hortegat]

je râle encore plus que le concert fut annulé à Bruxelles quand je vois ça. Vite, une autre date, siouplait!

[mpauger15]

English Motherfucker! Do you speak it?

[allanbayer]

You realize how retarded you sound mpauger15? Arcade fire music and music in general has no boundaries in language. Btw Arcade fire have a few french songs and they're awesome. Typical center of the universe american

[sonnycrocket]

This song gives me goosebumps

[listenheredc]

oh my gawd,this song is so great. I just saw them perform this about 2 hours ago and they put so much energy into it. amazing.

[chocuz]

wicked song

[luyendao]

great quality video, thanks!

[SamKellett]

@detroitup: Sure, if you put U2 and Oasis in a dumper now, it may not change music because they've already influenced so many their style and ideas are timeless. They have both changed music an incredible amount and I believe Arcade Fire will too in the next few years.

[SamKellett]

@conorcar: I'll agree with you when you say Arcade Fire are one of the most creative bands around at the moment, but "[Oasis'] singer has the worst British accent I've ever heard", hate to break it to you, but he is English and that is what people from Manchester sound like.

@krijgdeklere2: Nail on the head.

[SamKellett]

@GoOSU669: Oasis are not horrible, they are a fantastic band that completely saved English music in the 90's from crashing and burning. Sure they've petered out now, but their original two albums (that's Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory) are two of the best albums ever.

Radiohead are also fantastic, but I don't see how you can use them to judge another's music taste. Just because they don't like band A doesn't mean they're music taste is bad, just different to yours.

[krijgdeklere2]

Oasis and Arcade fire are totally different... Both very great! If you don't like it go listen to your own brilliant music...

[nghi50]

Arcade fire is the heat...their sound is sooo unique. I'm these past few weeks I've been drowning my ears with both albums (funeral and neon bible). I don't know what it is about their sound that is so beautiful, but it makes me want to listen to it 300 times a day.

[conorcar]

oh god he said they need lessons from oasis.. oasis are possibly the most annoying band ever!! the singer has the worst british accent ive ever heard.. and they could all do with a wash! arcade fire are possibly the most creative band ever.. the singer is awesome and the drummer is awesome too!

[GoOSU669]

Oasis is horrible, but let me guess you proably think radiohead sucks too.

[logrolls]

Oasis are the most overrated pile of poo. This band are inventive,fresh, and intelligent.There is really nothing bad to say! Apologies sayhitoyourtom-not all brits pepper their posts with wanker and other expletives..!!

[aplausomerecido]

Qué grupazo!

[sayhitoyourtom]

Also I am sorry I did not add the word "wanker" into this babble, because it seems like the cool thing to do in this forum, I am from the U.S. that would probaly be why.

[sayhitoyourtom]

Arcade Fire is a highly intelligent band and I agree, I doubt many can even match their lyrics. I suggest that you dont compare bands together, that is just a mistake, because there will always be some person to tell you that your <b>opinion<b/> is wrong.

My opinion- Arcade Fire is amazing, and if you do not like them, Then may I ask why you clicked on this video?

[ejrenteria]

u2 is balls? lol wtf does that even mean?

[ginteardrops]

best band of our times.

[spongebather]

these wankers could use some somewriting lessons from Oasis & U2, I kept waiting for an actual melody, stupid bandname, singer can't sing, terrible drummer, complete merde

[FranzFerdinand55]

wtf u talking about douche? this band is hella awesome. i wanna see u write something as good as this. singer sucks, but only cause hes nervous drummer is good. ur merde and crap and govno. idi na hui pidar. u2 is balls and oasis are a buncha cocksuckers.

[ibecomenumb]

oasis? please. at least this band's lead singer isn't a total wanker.

[oldcolonyfire]

People like you shouldn't bother commenting on decent music. Just stick to your Oasis shite, I'm sure it'll do you good...

[detroitup]

Actually, if someone put U2, Oasis, and Arcade Fire in the dumper it would not change music one inch. This is very mainstream musically, let's be real, the difference is that they write these self-love/self-pity lyrics that a lot of people seem to need someone to say for them. Actually, U2 does that too, and Coldplay, etc etc ad nauseum. And Bowie forgot how to write moving songs 20 years ago, so he's no judge.

[lamoleverde]

douche

[allanbayer]

arrribe..lil mexican boy who doesn't know the meaning of douche. Right lamoleverde!

[banditbubbles]

Amazing.

[Narcyssus]

Hah, I was there.~

[k1chi]

[cozomank]

Can't wait for their new album, neon bible to come out!

[junskey]

[rosskillie]

the fire are coming to the uk this march.... cannot wait... amazing songs and an amazing band...

[amanuelsobredo]

holy shit, that was amazing!! can't wait for their upcoming album

[FranzFerdinand55]

its a busy band-so many people doing every job! lol.

[nexuspain]

ey...seriously..I've been in the music my whole life and this is the loveliest thing ever,I never heard something like this in my entire life..I've found out my way..seriously

[kapsi]

Napoleon Dynamite plays with them?

[mitsukaizero]

haha I thought he looked like him too... arcade fire is flippin awesome. Can't wait til the new album comes out.

[omniculex]

Such a versatile band of musicians... I can't believe Regine handles the drums on this song.  ^_^

[Muenzer2]

I just love the song! =)

[sasukenebe100]

honestly my favorite song of all time. i will die hearing this song. i love you

[skyblu92sb]

My god, they sang it PERFECTLY.

[sasukenebe100]

<333333333333 i love you so much
