    but what we really want to know is: How was the Arcade Fire? :)

    I went to the Bell Center last night, could not even score a decent scalper tickets, unless i would have spend 125$ for a 200 section, it suck but i might try again tomorrow.

    Arcade Fire was good too! Had not heard them before - quite versatile and energetic. I didn't know any of their material but am prompted to look into the a little more.

    Oh small note, I wonder if how many people recognized Glitter In Their Eyes (Patti Smith) being played as they were setting up between Arcade Fire and U2. I'm a huge Patti Smith fan, so that was kind of cool. As was them singing a little of Rock the Casbah (tagged onto which song, I've completely forgotten now), but Bono gave some nice respect to Joe.

    I hope you get a ticket for tomorrow.

    yeah thanks and thanks for the advice (pm) i'll try tomorrow.

    Did he say that they would be moving to Montreal somewhere during the show? Cause some rumors have them working with Cirque Du Soleil in the future, that might be what he meant.

    Go... there WILL be tickets opened up for sale on the day of the show. They will probably be the top price ones, but they will open seats that day/afternoon.

    Agreed

    I ended up section 102 Row O. GREAT GREAT seats!! O was about 20 rows up on Edges side...looking right down on the middle of the ramp.

    I missed half of arcade fire cause the stupid Bell Centre decided to have ALL the fans with No GA's come in one set of doors in the front. What a MESS!!!

    BTW if you are going to do ticket line...DRESS WARM!! They kicked us out from the ticket area in the early afternoon and made us wait in the cold!! FUCKERS!!!

    Was a great show though. I FINALLY got to see Original of the Species live!! I freaked when they went into it! Also was happy to get Until the End of the World. I LOOOVE that song!!!

    and ending with my fave song Bad..with Danny boy Lanois on Guitar....wow! just wow!
