Arcade Fire - Ready to Start | Reading Festival 2010 | Part 1 of 16

[Oliviably]

Unbelievably amazing!

[chyloto]

This song > defibrillator

[CaptainSpacker1]

I began watching it, but it needed time to buffer, so I went and read the comments and now I'm ready to start

[HeartandSoul59]

when youre at the concert and hear the first note, you have to care not to fall!

[0106lenka]

wow.. I ♥ Arcade Fire... the best group!!!!

[TheAspiringDreamer]

This whole set = Flawless

[mclick13]

Did they break up, that is what I heard. Not sure if this is true?

[MeYouDanzig]

@mclick13 Definitely not true. Can't wait for the new album, even if it's probably going to be quite a while before it's released.

[MeYouDanzig]

Bloody amazing! Perfect.

[thethirdq]

Please let meknow when your next video will be posted...

[whothefuckcaresbruh]

3 WHOLE dislikes?! What is the world coming to.

[OneWayeditz]

One word epic no band has this sort of stage presents

[Matiboy75]

@OneWayeditz What presents did they give?

[blakdad]

This shit rocks!!!

[Duddett24]

This song is a tune, and the atmosphere looks amazing. Can't wait till Reading 2011! 2 WEEKSS!!

[jimtorture]

3 people aren't ready to start! arcade fire <3



[killerzofsoul]

right after the libertine i was there :)

[topherx25]

the 2 dislikes for this are from deaf people! .... i wish you could hear it too....

[beforethree]

you re coming to the show, there is this instrumental part, then wow fuck me Ready to sTART! but you dont have the time to think everyone is jumping around you and you too now :)

[999sgirl]

why isnt this years line up as good as AC?!

[pirralho92]

I want 15th julyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! :D PORTUGAL!!!!

[redifreddy14]

much thinner sound without the BRASS / still greatness but as great...guess its all about the bucks... cant blame them.... but the sound is not as wide...

[JaguiAnlehu]

It's great to be part of the ARCADE FIRE generation

[coooooolio666]

well said,also for me knowing i went to see them at hyde park!

[JaguiAnlehu]

@coooooolio666 They rock as hell! but I really wonder if the next album is gonna be better, don't imagine how great that's is gonna be, that is the differencce between the band and my person, THEY CAN.

[IntoTheValleySkids]

You have to be one hell of an idiot if you prefer Pendulum over this :D

[ghita2ion]

c'mon are 2 sets of drums necessary?

absolutely

[86THEMADHATTER]

I feel sorry for people who put down other bands. Not everyone has to like the one artist or be made feel odd for not liking them.

There's nothing wrong with Pendelum.

I just chose what music i want by what mood i'm in at the time.

[burriplace]

has anybody listened sth better than the guitar sound after the second "like the kids in art school say they would"?? 2.35

[GinaAtherton]

I think one of the best decisions of my life was to go and watch Arcade Fire at Reading on my own when my friends went to Pendulum! I felt a bit silly dancing on my own but I loved every second.

[pepijnn7]

@GinaAtherton ur cool :)

[JonasMueller1990]

i always miss suburban war in their setlist :( Best song of The Suburbs

[burriplace]

best festival perfomance ever

[kmikee]

@burriplace I think the best festival performance ever was the 2011 Coachella finale with the 'Wake Up' glowing beach ball drop. I wasn't there but damn near pissed in my pants watching the live stream. Just amazing!

[hardcoredidntdie]

I'll never be tired of listening to AF

[Jakub949596]

The Libertines are like my 2nd fave band, so obviously i think they should of headlined, but i'll hand it to arcade fire, this song is fucking good! =D

[burriplace]

regine playing the drums is the most wonderful thing i've ever seen

[alsayli007]

Wtf is Pendulum, a movie ?

[gogolplex74]

@alsayli007 shitty commercial drum'n'bass band

[dscarfinger]

Tomorrow night. Arcade fire will take yet more awards right here in canada at the Juno awards. Montreal is a buzz over this. Real exciting. 

[jhmufc]

One more thing. This gig didn't make them famous 'Tdog919', it just gave people abit of an education and made them sit up and take notice. About fucking time too...

[jhmufc]

In total agreement with you there my friend, best band around at the moment, and for a very long time to come. Was priveleged to be at Reading to see this, and Oxegen, and the O2. Very special band, Nothing comes close...

[JackYerMaw]

saw them at the secc in december, by far and away the best gig of my life. going to see them again in hyde park, and again at the casttle. best, most talented band around at the moment? no fucking contest.

[Tdog919]

this gig made them famous

[graeham1308]

@Tdog919 No it didn't...

[dan564891]

I honestly think that Arcade Fire has overthrown Radiohead as the best band in the world right now

[howardmoon1234]

@dan564891 Agreed.

[tai77]

@dan564891 Pretty strong words there but I think I might actually agree with you.

[gogolplex74]

@dan564891 Agree, especially because King Of Limbs was such a dissapointment

[xiluvfashionx]

I really wanted to see this at Reading, can't believe i missed it! I think at this point I was running around drunk- what a freaking waste!

[wombat989]

Libertines followed by Arcade Fire. BEST. T.V. NIGHT. EVER! I'm guessing it was good to be there as well :)

[MrMikeyXx]

why do people go on about how they look! you dont listen through your eyes

[ultras514]

music = This. 

[jouetdudestin]

peeing my pants in anticipation

[mikepl92]

The Haitian kick drum is too real.

[ShinerNL]

Brilliant !

[fumblenuts64]

Cried my eyes out during Wake Up. I was totally stoned though.

[blackbeltbrown]

amazing band but why two drummers for this song?

[TheThroney]

@blackbeltbrown two drummers probably just makes a thicker drum sound to match all of the output of the other instruments.. kinda like when you double track a drum loop to give it that extra oomf! y'know what i mean brother?

cya (:

[mrsianbrown]

gives me goose bumps

[ApesMcCoy]

Not a fan of them but this is a great song & a fantastic performance.

[palmersamcheese123]

Makes Guns and Roses look like shit bags.

[bassEADG]

@palmersamcheese123 guns and roses makes guns and roses look like shit bags

[morgantown1]

@palmersamcheese123 Nah, they do that themselves.

[rhcpguru123]

I enjoyed being in the group who started shouting FUCK PENDULUM while waiting for the almighty arcade fire to come on =)

[spleenbeachboy1]

@rhcpguru123 same FUCK PENDULUM!

[sivaband]

i went to leeds on friday to see these guys. met a girl who was alone watching them because all her friends went to pendullum. ended up shagging her in her tent afterward. thank you arcade fire!

[thedukeofed]

@sivaband classy :L

[jbrad445]

I wasnt sure about this band. but i must say, this is an AMAZING PERFORMANCE! CANT STOP WATCHING IT!

[BritRock93]

After being hyped up and ready to go after watching the libertines rock out on stage, these guys set a nice slow ending to a great night at reading. Loved every second and every band of that weekend!

[villiparis]

The screen in the background looks really cool

[wurmloch100]

live at hurricane-festival in 2011 wohooo!!!

[TheJdfuentes]

"The best band in history" -Chris Martin

[LittleBabyshamble]

the drums sound spectacular

[starstruckstarfuck]

Sarah + Piano = Win

[beemoyo]

Canadian band (y)

[joeisaflyingfish]

Can I just say that I want Win's jacket.

[YeungyBassMasta]

QotSA, Arcade Fire and Weezer best bands by far

[domb07]

not enough adjectives in the world to describe the incrediblness of this.

[qwertykid94]

feel sorry for anyone who watched pendulum over this

[LOLwut36]

@qwertykid94 I really wish I had. Pendulum are great entertainers, but Arcade Fire are phenomenal.

[williamcoster]

@qwertykid94 I agree, pretty much all of my friends i went with watched pendulum, it ended up being just me and a lad I know from my old high school watching these at leeds, incredible though.

[scumoftheearth43]

@qwertykid94 actually you should't, because pendulum are awesome live.i really love arcade fire, but i love pendulum even more, so it would be a tough call, but i'd pick pendulum.hour and a half of pure energy

[hummingbird830]

@scumoftheearth43 I think they are both extraordinary live. But Pendulum's music just doesn't have the soul nor the raw power that Arcade Fire's does. It just consists of constant d&b drops in every song. Not enough change. But if you just wanna mosh, then yeah Pendulum.

[musicloverkl]

@scumoftheearth43 What on earth would you then classify this performance as???

[gogolplex74]

@qwertykid94 Lol I completely agree

Pendulum is for faggots, Arcade Fire are Genius

[mattcattt]

@qwertykid94 Especially seeing as Shikari were on before them and everyone agreed that Shikari destroyed Pendulum xD

[suebubbles]

@qwertykid94 fools!

[ysbeoj]

@qwertykid94 gods, end of.

[ThomasShearerr]

@qwertykid94 I went to see Pendulum at Leeds instead of these. FML

[johnsonharley]

@qwertykid94 I did... what an error. But i'll be making up for lost time at Benicassim in the Summer

[hatwell88]

wish i was there!

[LeGeNd4911]

Oh man, it gave me chills as soon as I heard the opening notes of this song, and still does whenever I hear it again. fucking loved every minute and best band of the festival for me.

[SiN3MATIC]

Seeing them in December ahhhhhh! I will scream like a little girl as soon as this song opens up

[Absynthie]

Thanks for uploading this, seems like it was an amazing gig :)

[JaguiAnlehu]

WAITING FOR THEM HERE IN MEXICO!!
