I my opinion one of the best live acts ever! Great show and very moving atmosphere. Definitely a must see! The location was great too, although a little expensive.

About
ARCADE FIRE IN CONCERT:
Arcade Fire are the undisputed poster band of indie rock's ascendancy in the musical mainstream, proving with each successive album that it's possible to be both a critical darling and a populist favorite. For 2013's Reflektor, the band teamed up with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem to record their most ambitious collection of songs yet, topping charts — and critics' best-of lists — around the world. As revered for their frenzied live shows as they are for their records, the band has fans eagerly awaiting the 2014 Reflektor Tour, which includes headlining slots at Coachella and Glastonbury.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
" Had heard so much about how electrifying their live performances were. It wasn't hype. This band puts it all out on the stage. I'll see them again...and again...and again!”
" A huge fan of Arcade Fire and they did not disappoint. Absolutely love their presence. The show was unbelievable."
" The show was amazingly energetic! It was without a doubt one of the best shows I've ever seen."
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
When Arcade Fire released their debut full-length Funeral in 2004, critics hailed it as an instant classic, heaping big praise — and even bigger expectations — on the Canadian art rockers. The band delivered on the hype, topping charts around the world in 2007 with Neon Bible and again in 2010 with Suburbs, dark horse winner of Album of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Awards. In 2013 the band released Reflektor to yet another No. 1 spot on the BIllboard 200, also making time amid their busy touring schedule to provide the score for Spike Jonze's film Her.

by Vanes223 on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - Bostoni have been an arcade fire fan since i heard 'rebellion' on the radio years ago when 'funeral' was released. i ran right out & bought the album & listened to it constantly until their amazing follow up 'neon bible' came out & my world was rocked again. to see them right before the release of 'the suburbs' was incredible! they played an amazing selection of new & old songs that rocked the crowd. it was my first time seeing the band that i have loved for the last 6 years & will continue to listen to for the rest of my life. it is amazing to see the entire band play nearly every instrument on the stage & it is visible to the audience that they are having an amazing time. this show was incredible & i wish i could go again tonight! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Arcade Fire were on Fire!
by Leung on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonGreat show and at the perfect venue. The Arcade Fire show last night was amazing. The opening band wasn't the best and while they played some members of AF sat 5 rows behind us to watch which totally made up for it. Régine and Win's voice were amazing and the rest of the band sounded their best. They played a lot of new songs and mixed in some classics. I would definitely see them again!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Thank you Arcade Fire!
by Shayleen on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonArcade Fire couldn't be a more spectacular live band. The venue has it's problems. The staff couldn't be nicer, but it's hard to forget about how corporate the place is when you're throwing down 12-14$ a drink. In contrast to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom this Friday the B.O.A. Pavillion is 2 stars compared to their 5.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Arcade Fire
by trm9 on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonThis was my first time to the BAP and I was very disappointed in the sound system. The first band came on and the music sounded garbled. Then the interim music played and you could barely hear it and it also sounded garbled. I kept saying to my husband that I hope when A.F. comes on that the sound gets better, but initially it was the same. I could have left after the first two songs...We stuck it out and the sound was marginally better, but I would have to know for sure from someone I trusted that the sound was better before I ever considered buying tickets there again. This show was very forgettable.....

by musicmann on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonGreat anthemic music filled with brooding thoughts and joyous energy. I really liked the new songs and the videography. Terrific show.

by simplybrianne on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonGreat mix of old stuff you could sing and dance to, and new stuff that gave you an excuse to stop and listen to what they were saying. Awesome stage set and great vibe. Overall magnificent show and I would see them again in a second

Rating: 4 out of 5 Poor Setlist and Poor Sound made it average
by Anonymous on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonArcade Fire, normally one of the best bands in the world was very average at the BOA Pavillion. The setlist contained half new songs, including 6 in a row. Winn Butler said' sorry to confuse you with all these new songs' at one point.The crowd was dead for 85% of the show. Since, they are playing Madison Square Garden next week, this was a starter show to test the new songs. Also, the sound at BOA Pavillion is very weak. In the rear of section 2, I could have a full conversation with someone 3 seats down and not have to yell or lean over to try and hear.

Rating: 5 out of 5 DO NOT pass up this concert!
by EugeneHutz on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonThe Arcade Fire show exceeded my already very high expectations. I have never seen 7 people try to outperform and each other with so much energy and gusto. Their live show was perfection--definitely in the top 3 of concerts I've attended. The pyrotechnics enhanced the already solid music, making it a feast for the ears and eyes. The energy went down when the band played songs off the new album rather than the old favorites, but that's the entire point of the tour (i.e., to promote the new stuff, which is very good). Having missed the boat on "The Neon Bible" tour, I didn't expect to ever see the Arcade Fire live, but having done so, I would say do not pass up this concert if you appreciate the Arcade Fire's music and have the chance to see them live. I cannot stress what perfect showmen (and women!) comprise this band. Even bad seats couldn't take away from the experience. If they are playing at a large venue, it's worth the extra money to get as close as possible. The venue I was at did not allow for much movement or interaction way in the back.

by jb13134 on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - BostonStanding ovation began when AF took the stage and it did not end until after the encore. Unbelievable energy.
Rating: 5 out of 5by Anonymous on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - Boston Great show, high energy, excellent music and arrangements/instrumentation make Arcade Fire a must-see. Particularly good in a small venue, I'm sure!
Rating: 5 out of 5by WBird on 8/2/10Bank of America Pavilion - Boston The sound was excellent and the energy of the band was incredible. They played every song as if it were the final song of the show.
