I think his interviews are hilarious, personally.

Looks like Ticketmaster just had a drop for the Barclays shows in August. Just got two lower bowl seats for the Saturday show! Can't wait!

Loved the Pinkpop performance last monday. A thunderstorm started during their set and it made it pretty intense...

Shouldn't matter if you see one of the two shows in the same city. The setlist's for this tour are primarily the same each night (minus maybe 2 songs + a different cover song each night.)

Seeing these guys Sunday the 17th in DC for the first time, i'm pretty pumped

[MVDMB]

What time have they been hitting the stage? Ticket says show at 7:30 and there are 2 openers, is this like a 9:30 pm start time? Need to figure out when to leave for the Gorge this afternoon.

Between 8:30 - 8:45pm

[MVDMB]

Awesome, thanks.

Great to see Empty Room showing up. Hope it sticks around for Brooklyn. ONE WEEK!!!

[Foreverford05]

Seeing them Sunday! Definitely pumped. It's been a long time since I've gone to such a high profile show and not really known too much about the band in general. I am definitely excited.

So who all has gone to a show this year? What's your general takeaway?

I saw them in Santa Barbara last Monday and did a little write up about it. It's not a cut and dry review, more drawn out with my personal imprint from not only the music, but the entire experience with the crowd (was a prominent factor), venue, etc.-- linked below if curious.

In short: It was an awesome show. Loved the new material in the live setting. A Reflektor heavy set with a fairly even dose of Suburbs/Funeral/ Neon Bible. Would like to see them again with a better crowd which was overall very lame, and the band knew it. Still played a great show though.

So wait...the show starts at 7:30, there's two opening acts & Arcade Fire come on stage around 8:45ish??? Does each act only play 3-4 songs or something?

They each got half-hour sets in Santa Barbara.

I was shocked at how quickly AF hoppped on stage after Dan Deacon. It couldn't have been more than 10-15 minutes.

I'll be at the Saturday show! Looking forward!

[coyn113]

just picked up 4 tix for less than face on Stubhub in section 15 for Fridays Barclays show

One of the finest live acts in the world.

[Foreverford05]

Just saw then Sunday in DC, was blown away.

[Jordan#41]

Barclays!! Tomorrow and this weekend!

[dmbbearcat]

Really wish I could hit another show this year. They are simply incredible.

[Jordan#41]

Any chance you think AF will release a bonus version of Reflektor after the tour concludes? To include "Get Right" and possibly another song like how they did with The Suburbs deluxe album release?

Tomorrow!!! Tomorrow!!! Tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Win, before even singing a note: "This isn't the movies. Stand the fuck up."

Amazing show. I've never danced so hard. All My Friends intro before KTCR was so cool. Gotta imagine Murphy was there tonight.

Same exact deal in Santa Barbara-- lame ass crowd.

Also danced very hard.

Barclays N2:

Great show overall.

Somewhat disappointed that No Cars Go was not played. But the new tunes sounded great and was glad to hear some old favorites like Rebellion, Tunnels and Intervention w/ Antichrist Television Blues outro was pretty awesome.

Oh yeah, and I Wanna Be Sedated w/ Marky Ramone on drums was pretty damn sweet too.

Let's hope they don't take too long a hiatus after this tour concludes. I need more AF in my life!
