Arcade Fire

On August 8, 2014, Arcade Fire delivered a stunning live performance of 'Wake Up' at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. At this stage in their career, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album 'Reflektor' in late 2013, which showcased their artistic growth and embraced a more eclectic sound. This album was notable for its rich textures and themes exploring love and identity, reflecting the band's innovative spirit. Interestingly, 'Reflektor' was also inspired by Haitian Vodou rhythms, a nod to frontman Win Butler's heritage, adding depth to their music. The live recording captures the euphoric atmosphere of the festival, highlighting the band's ability to engage audiences, and it stands as a testament to their status as one of the most dynamic live acts in the indie rock scene.
