Arcade Fire

On November 2, 2007, Arcade Fire performed "No Cars Go" at Vorst Nationaal in Belgium, a vibrant stop during a pivotal moment in their career. This live recording occurred shortly after they released their second album, "Neon Bible," which debuted in March of the same year. The album presented a darker, more polished sound compared to their debut, "Funeral," while still echoing themes of loss and longing. Interestingly, "No Cars Go" was initially featured on their self-titled EP but gained renewed attention with "Neon Bible," becoming a fan favorite in their live sets. The band had been gaining traction, and this performance demonstrates their energetic and communal stage presence, which endeared them to audiences worldwide. Engaging with their fans through these electrifying live shows was pivotal as they solidified their place in the indie rock scene during the late 2000s. What a time that must have been for them, right?
