Arcade Fire at MSG: A Night of Championship Euphoria

Image

Wednesday night, Arcade Fire radiantly illuminated Madison Square Garden, filling the packed arena with wildly rapturous sounds, as thousands clapped on command. Arcade Fire crony Owen Pallett started things off with looping, atmospheric violins, as if consecrating the space. The band then filled the stage with nine musicians, swapped instruments at will, banged on hand-held drums with sticks and open palms, twirled, stomped, bounced, and danced, giving their complex, precise arrangements an almost ridiculous sense of wildness. This may be as close as Madison Square Garden will get to championship euphoria for a long time.

This piece includes a number of colorful photographs, as well as four HD music videos from the concert.
