bobbob1313 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Wasn't sure where to put this, but here's an absolutely amazing performance of the new song "Intervention". God, these guys need to come to Florida. I'd definetly road trip to see them, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Wasn't sure where to put this, but here's an absolutely amazing performance of the new song "Intervention". God, these guys need to come to Florida. I'd definetly road trip to see them, though. I think this version is so much better than the album one. I don't dislike the album one, it's just a bit too over-blown (but then I guess all their music is, in some way or other). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I don't know if Solace would say this or not but I sure as hell will. If you pre-order through this link http://www.arcadefire.net/ you will be helping to support Us Kids Know, the Arcade Fire fan site he runs. So you should - I know I have Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance they tour during the summer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 no, they'll be doing Euro festivals then mostly from what i've seen. likely a bigger scale US tour in the fall. and no Detroit, 2 Toronto and 2-3 Chicago shows though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobfrombob Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Thanks - That's what I thought/heard Between the time I asked and the time you answered, your avatar changed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 they're retooling some of the US tour/venues because of how big the demand for the euro shows was. honestly, some markets in the US, the venues they were/are scheduled to play, i think are a bit ambitious already, but their manager didn't seem to care what i thought i guess :/ there's a fine line between feeding the demand and jumping to venues too large too soon, that a lot of people are turned off by as well.

bobfrombob Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I guess it's a matter of playing a theatre 70% full but letting everybody who is interested a chance to get in versus playing a smaller venue at 110% capacity and creating that "sold out" buzz. But like you say, a lot of people who are interested but not real fans will take a pass on a theatre show. Even the Toronto and Montreal shows might not go as big as they think..... those are pretty big halls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
