    Sound quality absolutely brutal on bbc, could barely hear the instruments for the first few songs

    Not sure it's BBC. It's either the sound at the gig or...... gulp....... the band

    There early stuff sounds so much better live than the later Reflektor music which I feel doesn't suit especially looking on TV. Caught in two minds whether to go or not, would rather it as an indoor arena gig.

    They've really picked up and sound much better the longer it's gone on

    Thought the sound on the live stream was actually quite good, not sure if the coverage on BBC2 was different or not though

    Watching them on glasto now, so tempted to get tickets for Sunday? Are they still available?

    There are a lotta people on Toutless.com trying to sell tickets, you should get one there handy enough!

    They are still available from Ticketmaster too!

    I hope the attendance for this is decent, seems a lot of people are selling their tickets!

    Yes, I was right all along. He said it himself when he said "We're THE Arcade Fire! "

    I wonder will they be this good on Sunday?

    I was at the gig in the O2 a few years ago and the crowd kept that part at the end of Haiti going for ages. The Glastonbury crowd seem pretty dead, well show them how to do it on Sunday!

    Régine is deadly… she's always reminded me of Bjork from around 20 years ago

    Suppose the Glastonbury crowd and Dublin crowd will be different since everyone on Sunday is going to see AF while at a festival a lot of people might only know a song or 2 and are going for the sake of it

    I thought that song would never end in Barcelona, Sprawl II. Horrid! Like an Abba b-side

    What I once heard described as 'Macnas-type ****e' and yet AF killed with it.

    Is this a new song?

    :D I've entered fanboy zone. Don't get me wrong, I really liked all their set bar 2 or 3 of the new songs and Sprawl II which is just high pitched nonsense to me.

    Ye have gotta agree that this "Here comes the night" is one of their worst songs ever. Like a children's tv show song, High-5esque.

    Disapponted they're not playing Porno on this tour, it's one of the only songs on Reflektor that I really like.

    "If you can't feel it, it means you're dead."

    Line from the same song.

    The line is actually "And if you can't feel it, then the rules are dead":D

    It is a cack song though. Having Wake Up after it emphasizes the point even more so.
