Excellent show review (wish I was there) and a very balanced and articulate commentary on the Arcade Fire’s music as well. I have to say that the reportedly lukewarm AF fan response for Janelle Monae’s apparently stellar set worries me a bit. Hopefully some of those Arcade Fire fans don’t become what Hip fans became in the mid 90′s (i.e. intolerant of acts that aren’t the Hip). Just a pointless observation based on second hand reports from someone who wasn’t there.

In the spirt of a kind of justified hyperbole, this is hands down the most perfect review of an Arcade Fire show I’ve ever read. Captures all the important elements of it just perfectly.
