To be honest, I thought the days where Arcade Fire's shows were something to rave about were long past. Sure, the Suburbs tour featured the likes of "Tunnels" and "Wake Up" so they couldn't be all bad, but the magic was certainly starting to wane. But the Reflektor tour, for the most part, has been a real return to form. Sure, they still persist in playing fucking "Rococo", but a Funeral-heavy setlist, juxtaposed with the best tracks from the new album (plus a sprinkling of Neon Bible, an LP they pretty much excised in the last tour) and an impressive stage setup worthy of their new arena-filling status resulted in what was undoubtedly the most out-and-out enjoyable gigs I've seen in a very long time.
