At noon today, Arcade Fire posted their performance from Madison Square Garden, directed by Terry Gilliam, on their YouTube channel. The catch: it will only be up for twenty-four hours.
You can even watch it in HD, so you can see the grease shine from Win Butler’s hair in all of its 720p glory.
This may not be as groundbreaking as their latest video, and their new album might not exactly be something to write home about, and yes, it’s not Springsteen rocking the Meadowlands. But it’s still a concert performance from one of indie rock’s best bands, directed by the dude that fucking directed “Brazil!”
I don’t know how serious they are about it only being up for 24 hours, but what else are you doing right now? Seriously, stop refreshing your Facebook feed and put away the streaming web porn for an hour and a half and enjoy Arcade Fire at the most famous arena in the country.
