Watch Arcade Fire’s Festival-Topping Set At Coachella
Arcade Fire headlined and closed out Corpchella last night. We admit we’ve been partially nonplussed by their album Reflektor, which comprised the large majority of their set at Corpchella. But live those songs take on a less-produced power, and the band also piled on some “golden oldies,” including Keep The Car Running, Tunnels, Power Out, Rebellion, and of course closing with the all-time finisher Wake Up (out in the audience with The Preservation Jazz Hall Band in step). And there were cameos, including Blondie’s Debbie Harry’s appearance to help the band cover Blondie’s seminal Heart of Glass and an epic version of Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains).
Check out a replay of their entire set below (with the setlist listed after with embedded song times):
