Their unique sound - "Stop Making Sense" Talking Heads meets "Think White Duke" period Bowie and ELO at Sonic Youth's house. In fact, David Byrne would probably agree because I saw him there Thursday night.
David Byrne from Talking Heads was in the audience, hobnobbing with fans.
My wife and I are not youngsters - we've been to literally thousands of musical events over the years, including many of the Rock legends. We are grizzled veterans and hard to impress. Arcade Fire had us spellbound.
We easily could have been the parents of most of the kids there but we still had a great time!
It's been years since I saw a band live and had to immediately go out and buy all their recordings but that's what I'm going to do today! That's how awesome they were.Hopefully they are the beginning of a long and stellar career.
Favorite moment: Encore when everyone in MSG was singing along. It gave me chills!
Opening act(s): Owen Pallett (eh) and Spoon (pretty good). Both acts would be much better in a smaller venue
