I saw The Arcade Fire last night at the Troubadour in Hollywood and it was one of the best shows I have seen. Amazing.

There is actually a funny story to be told here. See how that guy is bashing the scaffolding. Well this other guy here was tripping out, and picked up a high hat (thanks lauren for correcting me) stand and was hitting the scaffold with it. Then the mic stand broke, hit this dudes head in front of us, then hit laurns face and mainly shoulder who was standing right next to me. It was crazy. I picked it up, and handed it back to the guy on stage. All during the song. Thinking about it later, I should have kept it for memory sake because Lauren’s shoulder was hurting her pretty bad. The guy came down off of stage and hugged the dude who got hit in the head (he was okay) and went back up on stage. Then he stumbled up stairs, came back down with a scarf thing on his head and tripped and fell. He was laying on the stage for a few minutes just hitting the ground. When he finally got up, he went over to another guy in the band, took off his glasses, and put them on himself. He then was draping the scarf clothe thing over the guys face as he started to lay down on the stage, while still playing. This was all during the course of a song. Pretty intense. That’s what I would say about that concert, intense and amazing.

By the way, you can view some photos over at the usual place, or just click the above image or here to go to the gallery. I must say that I only took like a photo or two with Angelas camera. She took most of them. Enjoy.
