byrne + fire

sorry it's not a better little video clip but the room was packed and, you know how it is, but here is david byrne with arcade fire from approximately forty minutes ago at irving plaza. since you can't really beat an encore with byrne, win ended the show by saying "that was fucking awesome, i love this city. thank you.":

and if you don't already have it, here's arcade fire covering naive melody, the song from that clip:

UPDATE: brooklyn vegan has more PLUS an mp3 of naive melody from last night. i agree with BV, i think this ranks up there with one of the best arcade fire shows i've seen. the energy just seemed to be filling up every molecule of that place last night.

UPDATE II: win in the audience at irving plaza (he jumped in at the end of neighborhood #3)

No no, it's a fantastic clip! Thanks a lot. It's great they're getting some appreciation from Byrne.

Thanks for the great clip. I was there last night, right up front, and it was amazing. Byrne and the band looked soooo happy. Now, with your clip, I can share it with my friends who weren't there.

I have a 3 minute video of Naive Melody from last night filmed from about 10 feet back from center stage if anyone wants it, e-mail me. It's 44MB. The sound is quite bad, since I was so close, the speakers were too loud for the mic on my camera, but the video is pretty good.
