I got to the Enmore early to line-up as I was on the front floor and was adamant to get a spot right on the barrier. We were 5th in line at 4pm and wondered if waiting for 3 hours was such a good idea but milk crates were salvaged so it was all good. We were treated to their complete soundcheck which sounded amazing from the street, behind closed doors. Then to our complete surprise the collective of Arcade Fire strolled everso casually out of the Enmore Theatre front doors and walked past us sitting out front, simply waving and smiling to the few of us waiting for their evening show. They continued down Enmore road for a quick meal before heading back down the same route, all of them except for Richard, who walked on the opposite side of Enmore Road before crossing back and into the Cafe entrance.They were just so modest and well natured that it made me so happy to be seeing such a polite band play such grandiose music.Wake Up was a great introductory song and it just kept getting better from there with Keep The Car Running, Black Mirror and No Cars Go spellbinding the crowd into a state of pure euphoria. The Age of Consent (New Order) cover being a hilight of the night for me as well as Laika ending the night as they shouted "C'mon Alex! You can do it! C'mon Alex! There's nothing to it!" I felt like I had a greater connection with this superb band and dare I say my favourite band!Being on the barrier the sound was interesting as we were getting most of it from the foldback speakers at the front of the stage.The security on the night was a little OTT as a militaristic guard from the right kept watch over the band like a hawk and felt that it was all too much when he pounced on a fellow fan for grabbing a drumstick offstage once Laika had ended!Well I was extremely happy at the end of the night and really couldn't have asked for a more perfect set-list, I was handed a set-list from Will and had the a security guard pass me a drumstick, which Will and Richard used to drum on the barrier during Laika as they had knocked their cymbals onto the floor and then continued to playfight back-and-forth along the length of the floor between the stage and the barrier, it was such a spectacle to see how much energy they still had after a 90 minute set!I can without doubt say they are my favourite band.It was simply amazing!If anyone's interested the set list was as follows:WAKE UPKEEP THE CAR RUNNINGBLACK MIRRORNO CARS GOHAITIBLACK WAVE/BAD VIBRATIONSNEON BIBLEOCEAN OF NOISETUNNELSTHE WELL AND THE LIGHTHOUSEHEADLIGHTSANTICHRIST TV BLUESPOWER OUTREBELLION----------------------------------------------------------------INTERVENTIONLAIKAWake Up - Live from Enmore Theatre - Jan 22, 2008.Black Waves/Bad Vibrations - Live from Enmore Theatre - Jan 22, 2008.Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels) PART 1 - Live from Enmore Theatre - Jan 22, 2008.Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels) PART 2 - Live from Enmore Theatre - Jan 22, 2008.Age Of Consent (New Order) Cover - Live from Enmore Theatre - Jan 22, 2008.
