Have to say that the Sunday gig, certainly in terms of the crowd, was quite different. Nowhere near the level of people who didnt appear to know their first album, but certainly some still present, including a few dickheads beside me. Perhaps that was simply down to the face the Sunday was the first gig announced and sold out straight away, the Monday one may have attracted more event junkies as a result. Performance wise I thought they were really good, great set, though no 'My Body Is A Cage' which I absolutely love. The crowd were well up for it and seemed to really get the band going also. In saying that, I've seen Arcade Fire numerous times at this stage, in various settings, and it was down the list in terms of their gigs, but when you take into account how good that Electric Picnic gig was, there's no shame, it was still a great gig.
The National on Friday outdid them alright, outstanding stuff and far superior venue.
