Aug. 27th, 2011 12:21 amArcade Fire played in Stockholm tonight. I can't quite articulate what it--all words are insufficient right now.
It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. It was sheer, unadulterated magic, it was joyful, glorious musicianship, it was a band that just didn't stop doing more, with every song they played. It was so exactly what I needed that I'm still at a loss for what to do with myself. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
I just. They played Crown of Love mid-show, and I thought, "Surely that was it, they can't do more than that, but I'm sure the rest will be lovely," and then they followed that up with a transcendent version of The Suburbs and then they played Month of May with such furious energy that I screamed myself hoarse and danced until my feet hurt. There were more songs after that, and they were so good, so good.
And then, then they dedicated Wake Up to the Norway victims and ten thousand people raised their hands to the sky and sang along. And after that, when we thought they couldn't give us anything else, Régine danced us out with The Sprawl and the world was just, it felt filled with light.
