Neon Bible

So I managed to get on a guest list for last Thursday's Arcade Fire show at Judson Church.
I have the leaked record so I was pretty familiar with the songs.. It was fantastic, actually much better than the record. Only problem.. the sound set up was kinda weak for the cavernous church, so when the band started their set the sound was muddled and swampy... that was fixed by the third song in. I can't wait for the band's return to the city in May.

The set list was:

"Black Mirror"
"Antichrist Television Blues"
"No Cars Go"
"Haiti"
"Black Wave/Bad Vibrations"
"My Body is a Cage"
"Windowsill"
"The Well and the Lighthouse"
"Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)"
"Rebellion (Lies)"
"Intervention"
------------------
"Neon Bible"
"Wake Up" (performed in the middle of the crowd)
