Arcade Fire North Carolina style!

Sure, the desert is cool, but nothing beats a "hometown" crowd! Merge caravans headed up I-40 to the hippy-laden streets of Asheville, NC to see Arcade Fire at the lovely Thomas Wolfe Auditorium. The National opened up, and they were fantastic - definitely check out their new record when it comes out later this month.

The show was incredible and the crowd was appreciative and somehow even managed to sneak in lighters!



Check out the badass video screens! As if Arcade Fire needed something to enhance their already spectacular live shows!


Obligatory "Shirtless guy" in the crowd.


Where there is "Shirtless guy" there is always "Fist-Pumping" guy!
