Arcade Fire are currently on their massive world tour in support of last year’s Reflektor, and though we’ll have to wait until August for their three Barclays Center shows (tix), they were pretty close to NYC this past Tuesday (3/18) when they played Brideport, CT’s Webster Bank Arena.

Playing off the “two stage trick” they pulled in Brooklyn this past October, Arcade Fire had openers Kid Koala (of Deltron 3030 and others) and Dan Deacon play on a small stage in the back of the arena. This actually especially worked to Dan Deacon’s benefit, allowing him to pull his own usual stunts with the crowd in a more intimate environment.

Then, like in Brooklyn, “The Reflektors” in their giant masks took the small stage for a song, before Arcade Fire dropped the curtain on the main stage and began their actual set. This time though, Win, Owen and Jeremy actually used the small stage during a song (“Supersymmetry”) and sang back and forth with the singers who remained on the main stage. Like they’ve been doing at many of their recent shows, they covered Prince’s “Controversy” during the encore. Otherwise their set was fairly evenly split between their albums, though only one Neon Bible song. After their set, Kid Koala came back out for an after show DJ set. Pictures of the show are in this post.
