Arcade Fire

In June 2007, when Arcade Fire performed live at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, they were riding the high tide of their critically acclaimed album, "Funeral." Released in 2004, this debut project catapulted them to fame thanks to its rich tapestry of orchestral arrangements and deeply emotional lyrics, capturing themes of loss and hope. By the time of the Berkeley show, "Funeral" had already solidified their place in the indie rock scene. The live recording of "Headlights Look Like Diamonds" showcases the band's dynamic energy and the passionate connection they had with their audience, a hallmark of their performances. It’s worth noting that “Funeral” was a significant touchstone, not only for the band but for the music world, as it played a pivotal role in reviving interest in indie music during that era. That performance at the Greek Theatre encapsulated the essence of Arcade Fire: a blend of exuberance and introspection that would define their journey moving forward.
