Arcade Fire Live at MSG: 'Rebellion (Lies)' Performance, Directed by Terry Gilliam

Venue: Madison Square Garden Location: New York, New York, United States Date: August 5, 2010

In August 2010, Arcade Fire was riding a wave of massive success following the release of their critically acclaimed album, "The Suburbs." This third studio album, which had dropped just a month earlier, showcased the band's evolving sound—one that blended indie rock with poignant themes of suburbia and nostalgia. The live performance at Madison Square Garden, an iconic venue filled with electrifying energy, was a part of the Amex Unstaged series, offering fans a unique experience directed by visionary filmmaker Terry Gilliam. This performance of “Rebellion (Lies),” a fan favorite from their debut album, was a testament to the band’s capability to rally and energize a crowd. It was an essential moment in their career, not only solidifying their status in the indie music landscape but also illustrating their ability to create an immersive, communal atmosphere through their live shows. Plus, who wouldn't be thrilled by the idea of experiencing such an exhilarating night in the heart of New York City?
