Arcade Fire played with Bruce Springsteen
As pointed out by "Anonymous", Arcade Fire joined Bruce Springsteen on stage last night (Oct 14, 2007) at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontario. According to the official setlist posted on Bruce's site, the encore was something like this:
Girls In Their Summer ClothesAccording to Pfork tipsters though, Arcade Fire did not actually play on "Born To Run".
State Trooper (with Arcade Fire) (Tour Premier)
Keep The Car Running (with Arcade Fire)
Born To Run (with Arcade Fire)
Dancing In The Dark
American Land
So, just to recap....
* Arcade Fire also played with David Byrne
* And David Bowie
* And U2
* And now Springsteen
* Neon Bible was influenced by classic Springsteen
* Bruce Springsteen hung with The National
* And played with the Hold Steady
* Lou Reed does not hang with any of these people, but he does like the Killers
* And the Killers' last album was also influenced by Springsteen
Eventually some actual pictures and video from last night's Bruce show will turn up. Until then, I'll be entertaining myself by matching up the following two videos....
BONUS:
Bono and Bruce Springsteen #1
Bono and Bruce Springsteen #2

Uh, guys: it's supposed to be obvious that the photos if badly photoshopped. On a related note: why are all of you so humorless and stupid?

Waiting around for those clips so surface on youtube, I've found lots of amazing "State Trooper" covers and assembled them together (click on my name for the link).

If people sent in tips about a Bjork show on an iceberg, would you call them Bjork Pfork Fjord tipsters?

I was there, and it was awesome. This is the only video link I have of last night. I saw Regine on the floor but didn't know it was her until she went up on stage. The Boss sang Keep the car running very well. They also did the song State Trooper, a fabulous song too.
