Arcade Fire - Neon Bible / Wake Up - A Take Away Show

[atamelion22]

Win's guitar is amazing!

[TheKaoticdrake]

Could you be any more fucking amazing?

[MarcoValenchino]

the sound of tearing magazine is just perfect to this song!

[jksafn]

I wish they would do one for The Suburbs

[Donnnnnnny]

Does anybody else here Fap Fap Fap Fap at 0:29?

[palbo4]

@Donnnnnnny why?...nothing's happening...

[MarcoValenchino]

@Donnnnnnny you are disgusting

[CheetosMUFUKKA]

sorry but that girl is terribly unattractive

[thepolecatscafe]

@CheetosMUFUKKA you're not sorry, you're a loser

[claudecarson616]

This video went viral on Sofia

[guitargeek1993]

haha, a whole crowd of white people who clap on 1 and 3. amazing vid and wish i was there though.

[wingsoffreedomtheif]

96 people need to wake up

[menano182]

96 people don't have a heart or soul

[GraditudevsRevenge]

I SWEAR TO GOD IF I SEE ANOTHER CHUCK NORRIS OR THE HANGOVER PART 2 COMMERCIAL OR ANY COMMERCIAL, I AM GOING TO GO BANANAS AND SHIT ON EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT KILLS THIS BEAUTIFUL CHANNEL.

[ColinPatrick312]

These videos make me re-appreciate bands.

[lonelygnomes]

I don't think they were going to fit in the elevator with that extra person in there. He did say please I think. and, they had one shot to make this happen. is that the only thing you see in this beautiful video? there is a certain amount of narcissism that comes with performing constantly. At least he smiled afterward. anyway, enjoy.

[Trors]

ah, the moments when I fall in love with humanity once again...

: )

[BCC5eight5]

95 people got kicked out of the elevator.

[sanmarz]

the whole point of these shows is to see ppl interact with a band and music they dont know at places were they are least likely to find them... kicking him out of the elevator ruins the whole purpose... and the way he does it... prima donna

[hamedolk3]

@sanmarz But didint he take him out becouse the elevator cant lift them all? Or becouse the guy with the magazine is supposed to do a mess?

[WaketheSheeple]

Haha, it was for a video shoot and you people act offended like it happened to you. Get over it im sure who ever that was didnt lose sleep over it, or for that matter turn on a amazing group of musical artists.

[paintlickersgraffiti]

Absolutely love there music but sorry, they seam like arrogant fucks! i please would be nice.

[TheCaptainBro]

Hahahah at 1:24 is that Doctor Who?

[JyeSherwell]

So raw... so beautiful...

[Minnokidd2]

did you really expect the guy in the elevator to sit through that magazine solo without exploding? they did him a favour, plus there was barely any room for non performers.

[RaygunShaun]

How anyone could possibly perceive Win or any of the Arcade Fire as douches is beyond me.

[PsychItsMike]

an elevator full of rude douches, fuck them. They didnt even pick up their trash

[Genkidayama]

Dommage que l'interlude soit si long et les cris du public si forts, ça fait tâche

[PunkBull0]

i hope arcade fire burns in hell

[ckeeton1989]

I like Arcade Fire, but if this douche ever told me to get out of an elevator, I would fucking plant my fist in his smug hipster face.

[AgnusObel]

@ckeeton1989 yeah what a fuck

[musicaeslasvide23]

This video is amazing, wish i was there

[AgnusObel]

@musicaeslasvide23 they would probably kick you out of the elevator, the need there room. fuck i regret buying there cd, what a douche bag.

[sanichiwa]

haha sittin on tha toilet

[ryanisnan]

More elevators need this kind of music.

[ryanisnan]

Nobody wants pagerage - fuck off ad!

[LimeSunglasses11]

imagine, not being bothered to take the stairs and then taking that elevator

[yeahyeahyeah131]

Arrr my lifelong dream is to be part of Arcade Fire

[oneboattwo]

what are they singing before they go to the elevator? its not neon bible...

[jeanpierre28100]

I was there ! in the audience ! at the Olympia - Paris !

[MaryHeuAdventures]

pure genius! I love the sound of ripped paper.

[jediryan500]

Saw them this April on my birthday in Kansas City..they are so amazing live. One of the best live bands out there haha. They are fantastic..

[jacktmizes]

One of the most under-rated bands ever.

[warrinerC]

@jacktmizes they have a grammy now though

[Dakotaisunavailable]

@warrinerC And, going by the relevant twitter feed at the time.....most people still didnt have a clue who they were....

[warrinerC]

@Dakotaisunavailable ahahahahaha yea, you're right so many stupid people lol but at least they gained some recognition though

[psibyrion]

@Dakotaisunavailable lol you actually looked at the twitter feed?

[Dakotaisunavailable]

@psibyrion I figured the chances that it would amuse me were high. so yes. hah.



[boratfrosty111]

whats the name of the first song they play b4 they go in the elevator

[DELLof09]

93 people are jealous becasue they're deaf.

[cwrees]

@DELLof09 fuck off and dont litter youtube with gay comments.

[Stevieduf]

Europe is a big place!!

[RDBeatnik]

When I visit Europe (next summer? later this year?), I hope I run into a sweet Take Away show.

[MaggiesRevenge]

Whenever I see a video like this, I wonder how on earth someone could "dislike" it.

[williamsworld84]

@zedster91whatever. I can't believe you just compared arcade fire to snow patrol.. Oh dear.

[zedster911]

Is it just me or do they sound like Snow Patrol???? I find it hard to tell the difference

[OmerTorok7]

does it get any better then this?!

[JyeSherwell]

Can you imagine being there, standing right next to them as they play "Wake up"!?

Man... what a memory that would be.

[NickPippin]

@bono597 that's just a straight up stupid thing to say. they're definitely great though.

[EliMoNsTaR]

/watch?v=EHYOJ512Z_0&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[alonsozap19]

GeneaL !!

[Gjkeane]

Amazing.

[ru0107]

La Blogotheque has my dream job.

[frohsinnig]

@ru0107 weird! mine too!

[phantasmo14]

3:46 He was an Arcade Fire fan

[phantasmo14]

I take away alot from this

[TheSweetjonny]

This is a truly incredible video. I love both versions of the songs, incredible.

[inthesamedevice]

I'm truly impressed by the civilty of the crowd. In the United States, unfortunately, the crowd would attempt to tear apart the band.

[qwertish]

@inthesamedevice you obviously dont go to concerts enough....

[warrinerC]

Wow. Is the only thing I can say.

[juanchoalicante]

Simply incredible. No words. The world is a big big show in the middle of the darkness. All people is singing. Beautiful.

[Treefingrs]

A bum poo the wee wee

[izzys66]

87 people just didn't wake up

[williamcorleto]

A magazine solo!!



[williamcorleto]

A magazine solo!!

[jarir93]

i really hope there are enough papers for the whole song

[dcromer11]

@redkitty909

Yeah he was kinda a dick to those people, but I'm sure that playing in an elevator with 6 other people, a guy with a camera, one of them ripping magazines, the others playing mostly large instruments would be stressful for you too. Not to mention that he was speaking English to French people who are more likely to understand the simple command "get out" than they are to understand "excuse me please we need this room to play we are already crammed in here.

[HamSandwich09]

@dcromer11 With a Haitian wife, I'd say Win knows adequate french. He can be a douche, but we still love him.

[itstonymannn]

is Napoleon Dynomite playing the magazine?

[1guitarkid]

fuck id be nervous

[salayafarang]

Finally, the band nerds made good!

[salayafarang]

Finally the band nerds made good!

[redkitty909]

I love Arcade Fire, but I don't care who the hell it is, whichever guy it was telling them to get out, was being a real dickhole. At least the others apologized or said please.

[bobilu]

@redkitty909 that was win butler......frontman..... awk...... hahahahha

[redkitty909]

@bobilu Lol, he makes beautiful music, but it doesn't change the fact he might need a personality check.

[supermassivexxx]

Fuck V. Moon, He hates Arcade Fire.

[arvydas0069]

some asshole on my flight from Cleveland to Washington D.C. tore two magazines to shreds like this. Fucking OCD!!

[blade1394]

fucking beautiful

this raised my mood heaps

peace love unity and respect xx

[danstockmusic]

I hate to show off,

but i'm a grade 8 magazine player.

[IamQiet]

Can you get out of the elevator? We need the space...to be a total douche.

[darkvoidful]

lol at 1:49 their singing the weirdest thing XD

[konoha4dawin]

magazine player is llike the hardest instrument of them all -3-

[DetroitHeating]

IS THAT MICHAEL CERA HOLDING THE MICROPHONE AT 2:13?

[trevster2905]

Why can't all elevator music be like this?

[TheiMightySean]

as sarcastic as this may sound, Win's brother Will (also a member of arcade fire) is better at the whole newspaper/magazine ripping. lol

[dontamior]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[walruspower60]

Girl looks like the girl from fight club.

[fenderfreek33]

the guy who told the other guy to get out of the elevator is kinda a bitch.

[burntoast85]

this is amazing.

[BajaBeans]

simply amazing.

[primusfeces]

hipsters take themselves way too seriously

[nww009]

@primusfeces This is so bad, I don't understand what they wanted to achieve by doing this.

[Rosebud2345]

they used this in the Arcade Fire live performance compilation, Neon Bible. It contains nothing but live performances and various other clips from the Arcade Fire Take Away Show series.Worth checking out for any Take away show or Arcade Fire fans.

[85Rising]

You think security would allow that in America? 

[shredGNARonguitar12]

everyone together, happy, and at peace. It's times like these, even though im sitting at my computer, that i can appreciate life and gain some sort of hope for the world.

[KoiChannel]

arcade fire fans should look up "while the city sleeps, title track", similar playful big soundscapes!

[tbricka]

Bonnarooo 2011 baby so freaking stoked!!

[estedrawn]

This is simply ......

[bono597]

If I was a fan in the crowd standing next to these guys performing I'd have a heart attack. These fans act like they're waitin for the the fuckin subway

[bono597]

"Great" is something you are, not something you become!

Arcade Fire is great. They have no clue how great they are. It's what makes them great

[naajbuds]

@bono597 I agree completely. They're such humble and normal people. It's like this beautiful accident.

[marsCubed]

@naajbuds "humble and normal people. It's like this beautiful accident."

IMO, humility is the only possible.

Only in humility is there acknowledgement; being a part of; resonance.

Not a crass statement of allegiance, nor lifting a part up in pride, but listening & resonance.

Truth is beauty, to know this one need only be in the moment; chorus modulated by music, passion & love. To find that in each other; a touch in & of infinity.

Only love & harmony can be, everything else resolves to nothing.

[laurenkd89]

@bono597 I love this comment. So true, arcade fire is amazing.

[callumfreeman91]

Seriously cannot wait to see this band with mumford and beirut at Hyde park this summer. Immense. Funeral is their best album though.

[Mazza4Azza]

@callumfreeman91

So jealous of you. I live in the North and I am unable to get down there. Mumford & Sons, Arcade Fire and Beirut are amongst my favourite bands! Enjoy yourself man

[perfectcard]

"please leave the elevator" that guy was so confused

[myheartraterapid]

AND THE AWARD FOR BEST PERFORMANCE IN A MOVING ELEVATOR GOES TO....

[countchunkula]

@myheartraterapid WUT DA FUK, EMINEM SHOULDa WON DAT AWARD!!!

[elsinsentido]

thank God for youtube

[Sk1nUpUk]

F**kin Amazing!!!!

[Rawkus2112]

Guy obviously needs practice at ripping paper...

[NuclearMisfit]

I never thought I'd like this band or type of music but after seeing their performance on SNL I was completely hooked. I haven't heard a song Ive hated yet.

[Iphone4isnumber5]

This is the best video on you tube!!!

[Joanna7Official]

My band and I did a cover of this! Please check it out!

[fs07]

@Joanna7Official no!

[isthisevolution2191]

its my dream to move people with my music like they do =/

[sven173]

[estagrenfell69]

Cool. It's good...just downloaded the full album from downloadmusic.im

[BlackHelicopterz]

this is SO fucking sick

[danieltosh11]

Good ol' 240p. Resolution is not a factor. (:

[quackers29]

i got the chills.

[SuperChrislowe]

Fuck Vevo there trying to do Go Show's? A Street show will never be a street show if you have a shit mainstream band playing there with screaming girls with an musical iq of 10. LaBlogotheque will allways rule :P

[LucasViks]

@SuperChrislowe Exactly!

[jozzman]

why do only 20% of the crowd know the words, man the atmosphere would have been more electric if it was in england

[platypae333]

That is the best magazine playing I've seen in a while...

[Antipodeano]

haha never seen a band do that before in amonst the crowd playing! Totally awesome!

[nikolajlort]

Why do all french people clap on 1 and 3?! ruins the whole thing.

[rareflorence]

@nikolajlort will actually led them to clap like that...

[nikolajlort]

@rareflorence How to you get that from the movie?

[rareflorence]

@rareflorence will was clapping on one and three also...

[holaadios3]

85 people, were stuck whit lady gaga

[Markmortis]

[ezezunavuriano]

15 minuti e 28 secondi di niente

[kaleexto]

4:54 "Rip, rip, rip... ri... oh this seems interesting!"

[Austin393]

Arcade fire is cool

[heylookitsnana]

AAAH! The claps on 1 and 3.

[ArneSix]

Take a look at Wake Up - Arcade Fire - Glastonbury 2007

Haven't seen that too much in America. Blame Justin Bieber?

[slatersec2]

typical europeans. don't know how to clap on just the 2 and 4. i blame the house music

[kinkykane0607]

@slatersec2 Fuck you cunt. Don't generalise an entire group, Blame the croud not an entire multicultural group of human beings. Shut the fuck up.

You are close minded and have no place in any progressive society today, leave your idiotic comments to yourself.

[masterofallhesurveys]

@slatersec2

Pray tell what is a 'typical european' ?

Many of North Americas innovators (which there are many) have had to come to Europe to gain any credibility/audience,the list is huge.

[slatersec2]

typical europeans. don't know how to clap on just the 2 and 4

[Markmortis]

@slatersec2 wow retarded

[JonDecent]

best magazine playing i have ever seen

[lemonchips]

@JonDecent 2nd best, I'd say.

[uninoor]

zomgsnapizzlewizzle

[00jaguar]

please people stop that inconsistent clap and listen to the song!

[petestap]

These guys are absolute geniuses, such improvisation and creativity!

The magazine in the lift takes the cake.

Arcade fire rule!

[lockwoodhms1]
