In Concert - Arcade Fire @ Starlight Theatre

"Coming Soon...Arcade Fire", stretched across the video screens with every one in anticipation for the show to begin.  In following with the post-70's suburban theme of their album, videos rolled through touting the serene peacefulness that the suburban cultural was to offer.  Arcade Fire takes the stage with the powerful "Month of May" off their latest album.  Followed by hit-after-hit from Neon Bible and Funeral.  As I stood their completely immersed in the show I realized just how good these guys are.  The concert was fabulous and memorable finishing in full on ribbon dance to "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)".  I have not been able to get the concert out of my head all week.  In reflection of  the experience, below is a sampling of some new and old favorites.
