ok

this might not be the EXACT order they played these in, but here goes:

Black Mirror
No Cars Go
Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
Haiti
Windowsill
Black Waves/Bad Vibrations
Ocean of Noise
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
The Well & The Lighthouse
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
Rebellion (Lies)
Keep The Car Running

Encore #1
Interventon

Encore #2
Neon Bible


im pretty positive thats it

oh, apparently in asheville when the ticket says doors open at 7, i guess that means the show starts at 7 as well

we missed the entire national set and we got there at 7:25

needless to say, i was pissed

5/3/2007 12:50:50 PM

id be pissed too. I won't be having that problem Friday.

5/3/2007 1:45:56 PM

thats a nice set list

i thought the arcade fire's show got boring from windowsill till the end. it really was kind of a cheezefest with the hysterical crowd fist pumping and the two idiots crowd surfing at one point. on the other hand, the national blew me away.

5/3/2007 2:17:35 PM

i agree that it did get a little boring from windowsill until ocean of noise, but once they started neighborhood #1 it got all better again

and sara neufeld in a hot pant-jump suit type thing:

it was overall a good show......the sound problems in the beginning kind of sucked, but they got those fixed from about tunnels on, which was the best part of the set imho

5/3/2007 8:44:02 PM

GREAT SHOW

but the squealing was awful when it happened. I am in love with all 3 female members.

5/3/2007 9:18:27 PM

was the national good?

5/3/2007 9:48:33 PM

not the greatest of pictures, but you get the idea:

5/4/2007 12:04:06 PM

5/5/2007 2:25:36 AM

5/6/2007 1:47:50 AM

i just got back from dinner at fat daddys and in between shitty 90's pop songs they played "keep the car running"

it was rather odd

5/23/2007 9:23:36 PM

^ yeah, I've heard it at random spots also... the mall, the post office, chili's

5/23/2007 9:28:22 PM

For some reason I found this incredibly amusing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyzjWoRDSHs&eurl=

6/11/2007 1:56:51 PM

6/11/2007 2:04:54 PM

AIR WIN

[Edited on July 23, 2007 at 8:47 PM. Reason : AIR WIN]

7/23/2007 8:31:31 PM

I'm not sure it's as good as Billy Corgan vs. all three Beastie Boys

7/23/2007 8:51:59 PM

This bump inspired me to hop over to Merge's website, where I saw that they've released a 7" of "Intervention." So I ordered that. And the 7" for "Cold Wind" as well, since I've been forgetting to pick it up for the past two years. And then I clicked on Neutral Milk Hotel and saw that In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is only $10 on vinyl.

So in other words, vinylbandit just cost me $20. But I'm glad he found the Billy Corgan picture, because I was going to post it but couldn't find it (untr00 fan alert).

10/2/2007 9:54:26 PM

10/2/2007 10:15:42 PM

That link ended up being an interactive music video for Neon Bible.

10/7/2007 2:31:13 AM

but it was still really fucking cool

10/7/2007 3:20:08 AM

great venue, band was fucking AMAZING, worth the trip, and LCD rocked the fucking house too.

10/7/2007 8:39:27 PM

^I saw Arcade Fire recently with LCD Soundsystem too at Red Rocks....
Their light show was so cool against the rocks.

10/7/2007 11:06:34 PM

Thanks for the reminder. Just set the DVR.

"The show airs this Saturday, November 10, check your local PBS station for the time. Looks like this will be a good one."

I set my Tivo to record both episodes that were airing back to back, and PBS decided to air a moon-landing documentary instead. Good stuff, but no Arcade Fire

11/11/2007 6:54:44 AM

so it wasn't on at all last night? I was bummed that I missed it... but now maybe it'll be on next week or something

11/11/2007 10:52:32 AM

I'll check to see if my DVR recorded when I get back to Raleigh.

11/11/2007 11:26:32 AM

Just checked my DVR and it recorded fine. It's important to note that it originally shows only on the HD channel, and then shows at midnight on the SD channel.

11/11/2007 12:36:08 PM

jesus fucking christ they absolutely killed it

and fuck amber alerts

thats all

11/11/2007 7:48:09 PM
