The Arcade Fire: Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) - BOA Pavilion (Boston, MA) 8.2.2010

[DroolOnMeBaby]

HOT!!!!

[29573428937]

You were this close? You don't know how jealous I am of you.

[TheEpicImpaler]

I watched them playing this tune on MTV World Stage and fell in love with them :)

[Charpef]

geiles Lied, war super auf Hurricane!

[Newskarlwilismus]

Ich finde Capital gut, jeder sollte Capital haben, aber nicht zuviel Capital.

Schon in der Bibel heißt es: „Eher geht ein Kamel durch ein Nadelöhr, als daß ein Reicher das Himmelreich erlangt.

[Newskarlwilismus]

Charly Schmidt In der Stadtmauer von Jerusalem (und wohl auch anderswo) schmale Stellen gab, die so breit waren, daß in der Nacht, wenn die Stadttore geschlossen waren, ein Kamel mit Mühe gerade noch durchkommen konnte. Diese schmalen Durchgänge wurden angeblich als "Nadelöhr" bezeichnet. Nordkurdistan wird vom Taurusgebirge geprägt. von Karl-Wilhelm Schmidt Newskarlwilismus: Anecktoden (kurze Erzählungen von kleinen Geschichten)

[Newskarlwilismus]

Mein Freund Azad, hat mich wieder mal überrascht, durch seinen Humor. Neben seinem Sinn für Humor habe ich auch eine Philosophische Ader entdeckt. Ihr kennt doch alle das Sprichwort; eher geht ein Kamel durch ein Nadelöhr, als dass ein Reicher in das Reich Gottes gelangt. Und was sagte Azad: Ihr kennt unsere Kamele nicht, die schaffen das! Ich fragte: sind die aus Gummi?

[mowgli2071]

They need to get her a wireless mike for this song. She obviously has the urge to move around the stage, but keeps having to come back to the mike.

[bonapie69]

she is cuter than a pokemon in this

[jpd2009RV]

is she like shy or something?

[TBW92]

They heard me singing and they told me to stop

Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock

those two lines alone make this song great, the rest is just extra

[tragicallyblonde]

renee rocks..c'est tres bein!!!!!

[redneckjesus3]

@tragicallyblonde i think you mean Regine. "A rose by any other name is still a rose."

[chumbersdee]

I love the entire album...but this song gives me goosebumps...and thats a good thing.

[mateusccj]

After, Kate Bush.... Arcade Fire

[Newskarlwilismus]

Sagt nicht: „Ich habe euch nicht gewarnt“

Wie viel muss Deutschland für den Euroschutzschirm zahlen?

Die horrenden Schulden auch in anderen Staaten könnten zu einer Inflation führen.

Auch Deutschland sollte bald über den Euro Schutzschirm abstimmen. Irland bekommt 85 Milliarden Euro Bürgschaften Garantien.

[Newskarlwilismus]

It is an insane, full feeling sung song what seeks his same. This singer is full magic, I can hear this song again and again, it is wonderful.

Newskarlwilismus

Es ist ein wahnsinniges, voller Gefühl gesungenes Lied, was seines gleichen sucht. Diese Sängerin ist voller Zauber, ich kann dieses Lied immer wieder hören, es ist wunderbar.

Newskarlwilismus

[noellennon]

It's got that disco tinge I don't want to shake away...

[Newskarlwilismus]

Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[osbely]

they're no Blue Mongoose, I'll tell you that. jk

[emaan456]

its just......nothing but getting ppl mad about it....feeling sorry about those who get pleasure from this sort.

[Gulpeg]

I don't think it's possible for anyone to be more adorable than Regine in this video..

especially @ 0:50 and 1:49 - 2:00 mark

[XxIndieKiddColaxX]

I would do literally do anything to see this band live.

[danyellbella35]

My fav song from this album!!!! i wanna see this group live soooooo bad!!!

[5WAYUPURS]

her voice is perfect for this song.. <3 love it

[teddyatlasts]

Wow, she really has an awful voice live. She is flat and it's her own song (lol). I know everyone that comments on here has an uber boner for this chick, but someone has to be honest. Great song, terrible performance.

[rodwreck]

@teddyatlasts Too bad for you. It's not about the voice. Sure, there are better voices out there, but she puts alot of energy into this song and it shoes. Great performance!

[Ancestor2]

@teddyatlasts

It's not about being "honest" versus being in denial or deluded. You're speaking in such a definite and condescending tone, but it is you who doesn't get something. I very well know she's not the best singer technically. However, she's a beautiful performer and all-around artist whose music moves me deeply. Technical precision is not the point in and of itself. If you don't look beyond it, you are missing out a lot.

[Beans000and000Rice]

Okay, if I HAD to go gay for one person...

[empatheticviewer]

Check this song out when they played it on SNL. Anyone whos a fan of Regine will love it.

[bisonlinebacker]

@empatheticviewer thats when i fell in love with her

[empatheticviewer]

Regine... Need I say more? This song wont let me go!! Regine... too awesome for words, so giving, talented, and beautiful!!

[larsofthebourgeoise]

i like how i can hear the echo and the crowd especially in the beginning, feels like im there. good filming too

[supertrippfan]

These song is amazing. but you have to admit Regine's performance just makes this happen (the poses she does during her performance). Way cool.

[jamesmcfc]

really not into arcade fire but no denying this is a very good song 

[fraldoca]

A-MA-ZING

[nicklazzarinirocks]

The weirdest thing happened to me. I was listening to the radio last saturday and aracde fire ready to start came one and right away I could tell it stood apart as something great, I had never heard it before and I looked it up and listened to it 50 times since. Well today this song came on the radio and just took over my body with its awesomeness, again I had never heard it before, looked it up and it was the same band!!! What a freakin amazing stand alone band arcade fire is!!!

[wagonfactor]

@nicklazzarinirocks welcome to arcade fire :) they are a great band. check out some of the live glastonbury 2007 stuff. particularly wake up and power out. epic songs, epic performances

[Kiwinil]

@nicklazzarinirocks Your life has honestly improved ; )

I felt the exact same way when I first heard a snippet of their song "Wake Up". Took me ages to find the song, but it was worth it. I definitely recommend going out and getting their debut album, Funeral, if you haven't already!

[Emptypocketfulls]

@Kiwinil Where The Wild Thing Are? Try listening to their OLDER stuff, it's just as great if not BETTER. The Album Neon Bible is my favorite.

[Kiwinil]

@Emptypocketfulls

I think you're find that the album Funeral outdates Neon Bible. Trust me; I own them all ; )

Neon Bible is a great album; especially Intervention, No Cars, Keep the Car Running, Black Mirror, and of course, Neon Bible.

However, I have always enjoyed Funeral more, with Wake Up, Lies, Laika, Power out, Haiti, and Lenin (an outake of the album, but a fantastic Bowie-esque song!)

[angrymurmurs]

I like that even the bouncer/sound guy in the back likes it. 3:44

[MMRJL]

The way that they line-up on stage, all the additional instruments and guitars and strong central woman, the pulsating,melodic, edgy, tuneful songs - to me it resembles a new Talking Heads rather than Radiohead. At last!

[StudleySwimmer]

God I love Indie so much!!!!

2 people have no soul

[luyendao]

Nothing to be said, except wow.

Comparisons to OK Computer? In what way? Composition? Arrangement? Cultural origins? Win and Regine? I mean come on...Radiohead is Radiohead and AF is AF, if you look deeply at them, and everyone, the uniqueness of everything is astounding, let's not simplify things.

[Dextaaa]

everyone's bashing regine's dancing..but you have to admit it's really cute

[sevenfl0w]

song reminds me of Funeral, good to see they going back to the basics

[ac82391]

First Thing I Do In The Morning, Is Play This Song Really Loud!

[totallytoastin]

I think she knows her voice sucks. You can see her playing with her ear piece a bunch and she makes motions to someone off stage a little bit. Her monitor was probably having trouble. If a singer can't hear their own voice, they can't sing worth a shit.

[realgungho]

Love this

[neocant1]

Love the song,..love her personality with the lyrics....but for christ's sake....let's get some audio adjustment to link the album to the live performance of this girl. Old timer here- but plain and simple- great voice, great persona, and terrible translation of a great song to live.....help her please!!!

[joshuabil]

@neocant1 I agree. i'm not always pro this, but a light chorus and some compression would go miles.

[HarveyDentLives]

I love this song - but do the opening chord remind anyone of Blondie's Heart of Glass? Am I the only only to hear this? Regine even seems to be doing a slight Debby Harry impression vocally.

[olivier12500]

@HarveyDentLives

no, I had also this feeling when I've heard it the first time. Regine is our Debby .......

[MMRJL]

@HarveyDentLives agree - it is heart of glass before the chorus

[HarveyDentLives]

@MMRJL You're right. But this is still a terrific song - the best one on the album.

[Sportswhilesleeping]

haha Regine is a wonderful and adorable performer

[kimsterjizznugget]

BEST SONG EVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[MarkFreedmanNY]

It's so easy to get caught up in this great song, and to miss the rest of the album -- but try to listen to it all. The more you listen, the more it gets into your bones. Great song, and great album!

[nohathepoddar]

i am a little bit obsessed with this song and this live performance was awesome.

[debiedog1]

Regine should sing more songs - she is gorgeous!!!

[policediscolightss]

shes an amazing singer but she performs really weird

[neocant1]

poignant...true...sad...

[tralfamadore0143]

Why didn't they play this in Sweden.:( Great song anyway.

[mynewoxford]

Memory Verse Ephesians 3:20

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that work in us.

[TheSnapmovies]

must there always be band comparisons to arcade fire?

lets face it they are better than all the bands people compare them to

[garetthunt]

@TheSnapmovies horse shit

[hamsterdam92]

@TheSnapmovies While I agree Arcade Fire stands on its own and is far better than all the mainstream crap consumed today, I would say Radiohead (and ONLY Radiohead) at least equates Arcade Fire's greatness.

[NewAgeReason]

@hamsterdam92

I totally agree with you. I only listened to Radiohead when I found them. Now that I have found Arcade Fire too I listen to them as well. They were similar before but after The Suburbs they are eerily similar, the album reminded me of Ok computer.

[hamsterdam92]

@NewAgeReason

a lot of people have been comparing suburbs to ok computer. the way i see it, they're both alike because they're albums with an overload of ridiculously good songs (Paranoid Android, Let Down, Karma Police vs. Suburbs, Rococo, and Sprawl II)

[NewAgeReason]

@hamsterdam92

they are and Arcade fire was fairly popular anyways but I think The Suburbs will firmly establish them in the music world like OK computer did for Radiohead. The style of each song is unique and you're right their both ridiculously good.

[diriven]

@hamsterdam92 Arcade Fire is a great band. They write amazing music. But, they are actually pretty mainstream. Pop and mainstream has been given a bad name because of the majority of its content. But, that doesn't mean that excellent music can't end up becoming mainstream. It just means more people are noticing it. Even people who enjoy terrible music sometimes can see, or rather hear, the value of good music.

[diriven]

@hamsterdam92 Also, I'd have to say there are many more bands out there that can easily compare to Arcade Fire and Radiohead. There is a lost of music out there. More than you or I know about. Explore it.

[BlueChild89]

my fav song from the new record, can't wait til nov 28;)

[Hasselnorris]

It's like really really good Abba

[agentxero24]

her voice is amazing

[david02911]

The best bad white-girl dancing on the planet. I'm guessing Regine learned to dance from watching John Travolta...in "Pulp Fiction."

[McFly1020]

This song is one of my favorites. Regine is adorable. I want to hug her.

[lilbo876]

I'm black and I love there music. Blow me away. So much talent in a band

[IndieMusicFan13]

This song is soo good, I can't even take. It reminds me of Blondie too!

[TheSoloAsylum]

this is why they made the auto tune, the band itself sounds great

[Lowfront]

amazing video thank you!

[323Felicity]

Richard must really like that jumpsuit, he's worn it for their past 3 shows at least XD

[marcovelo007]

lol nice song .... some hints of blondie disco in there ...too cool !!!!

[Kkidzz]

@marcovelo007

It's definitely got that 'Heart of Glass' cadence. ;)

[agentxero24]

my favorite song on the new album LOVE IT!

[NaseemKO]

A really powerful song, and fun at the same time. Regine is a really great performer, she's a natural!  This is my favorite song off of the new album.

[mdizzy521]

unreal...watching this is honestly making me think about not showing up at work on Sunday and getting fired just so I can see them at Lolla

[shuffleyourfeet08]

I was so happy when I was listening to The Suburbs and heard that she did another solo because I really loved In the Backseat!!! This one has a great 80's sound to it!!

[solwilde]

I lost my shit when they started the song, it's my FAVOURITE off the Suburbs! I would like to find a video where, at the beginning, she explains the inspiration behind the song. it was cute and hilarious

[Th3DaveGuy]

This song is so intoxicating. Love it.

[zeldaoftime]

where can I get the complete vid on these show???

[BehindTheSea29]

Can we ever get away from the sprawl?!

;) arcade fire rules

[corncornrocks]

i love regine

i shouted it right before this song started

[MrHobbes17]

regines singing has really improved on this album. not that it was bad. but its so much richer, and softer here. sounds great

[zeldaoftime]

[sgeoffreya]

Very very nice.

[piedras2009]

esta vergas la rola

[keokagal]
