PHOTOS AND SETLIST: ARCADE FIRE AT THE ORPHEUM























Arcade Fire
May 10 at Avalon

Despite what Kelefa says, Arcade Fire have set out to be rock-and-roll saviors -- and no, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Compared to Modest Mouse's insipid fart of a set at the Orpheum a couple weeks ago, AF's show in the same room last night was a revelation. [Check back Monday for a full review.]

Setlist:
Black Mirror
No Cars Go
Haiti
Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
In the Backseat
My Body Is a Cage
Windowsill
The Well and the Lighthouse
Ocean of Noise
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
Antichrist Television Blues
Keep the Car Running
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
Rebellion (lies)
