Edmonton, Canada

This was the 5th time I’ve seen Arcade Fire in concert.  The first was 9 years ago in the Walker Theatre, Winnipeg – a beautiful Vaudeville-era theatre that had a capacity of about 1600.  Almost a decade later, Arcade Fire have become a globally popular act, and are now at a level of filling arena shows.  Rexall Place’s seating capacity is 10 times larger than the Walker Theatre; and fittingly, Arcade Fire are 10 times as bigger of a band.

As it was then and now, I was front row centre, and was able to equally enjoy the bands’ energy and ability to play multiple instruments.  My favourite songs that evening were ‘It’s Never Over (Oh Orpheus)’ and ‘Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels).  The crowd favourites were ‘Wake Up’ and ‘Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)’.

    #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree open #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree opener in Auckland, New Zealand was 3 years ago today.

I’m really enjoying Bono’s autobiography #SurrenderMemoir. Incredible perspectives of his upbringing and influences in Dublin.

Last image on this post has a snippet of an IEM recording I took from the Auckland rehearsal on November 3, 2019. New Zealand in a way is In God’s Country.

    #Coldplay second night in Glasgow. This time in GA #Coldplay second night in Glasgow. This time in GA, b-stage rail. Same song, different perspective.

This song (and album) is the soundtrack to my 2008 summer backpack travels in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel (Jerusalem, of course).

Got a GA ticket for this show - nice to be back after 3 years to be on the floor and on the rail. Was able to get my camera in for these photos.
