Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Arcade Fire and The National are two of my favorite bands, and this was amazing video. I love you!

I saw The Arcade Fire in Vegas. I flew 16 hours (I live really far away!), and spent a lot of money. Local Natives opened, and they were amazing, but I wish I could have seen The National, too.

When I see things like this, I feel bad I live in a country that doesn't get acts like this. Be happy you live in Chicago! (I assume you live in Chicago!)

@randomnumber89 glad you enjoy it. and i am unceasingly thankful that i live in chicago :)

this was so great.

the drunk college/high school kids raging out and lifting each other up and shouting requests at the national -- interrupting the concert -- were not. in fact, they were the worst, and severely hindered my enjoyment of The National's portion of the evening. luckily i had moved far enough away from them by the time Arcade Fire took the stage.

@bobbylibby that high school kid was not afraid to show his love :)

They did exactly the same thing @ Main Square Festival (Arras, France) 3 days ago :D I was in the front row, it was amazing !!! They played with Richard Perry too, both Win and him were completely unexpected by the audience.

arcade fire ive seen twice now ,the last being at hyde park london and they blew the place apart,the national i discovered when they played glastonbury 2010, caught them live in warwick and they too lifted the roof,now im just waiting for the national to tour the uk again,i just wish it was the national surpporting arcade fire at hyde park instead of mumford and shit sons:0)

[iminochrasy]

Is there any collaboration more amazing than Arcade Fire/The National??

[namedULaika]

I saw AF live for the first time in Indianapolis and was in the second row right in front of Win for this song . When Win walked out, my heart skipped a beat and tears began welling up in my eyes. This is my favorite song by The National and seeing them do it together was so amazingly beautiful.

[PushingPies]

Wow!

Now, The National and Arcade Fire, do this in the UK please?

I was there at this concert, and when Win walked out, it was SO INCREDIBLE. I don't know if I've ever screamed so hard. BEST. 16th. BIRTHDAY. PRESENT. EVER. I liked The National before I went to the concert, but I'm really starting to appreciate how remarkable they are now. I wish I'd been more into them prior to the concert.
