Lost but not forgotten

I'm resurfacing from my healthy distraction to say how amazing the Arcade Fire show was last night. I think the most magical moment for me came while watching the openers, Electrelane. Their guitarist bent over her amp and made sweet beautiful love to her guitar and it was the single most poignant thing I've seen a guitarist do in a long time. And it sounded good!

Arcade Fire was, as expected, fucking mind-blowing. The acoustics at the Schnitz are certainly worth beholding. Dancing in place however, is too limiting for this band.

The setlist as closely approximated to the actual order played:

Keep The Car Running
No Cars Go
Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
In the Backseat
Neon Bible
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
Haiti
Distortions (Clinic cover)
Black Mirror
Intervention
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
(Antichrist Television Blues)
Ocean of Noise
The Well and the Lighthouse
Rebellion (Lies)

Encore:
My Body is a Cage
Wake Up
