"Keep the Car Running" (Live on "Austin City Limits")

Video Premiere: The Arcade Fire: "Keep the Car Running" (Live on "Austin City Limits")

The other day we posted video from Wilco's performance on the venerable live music showcase "Austin City Limits". Now, we have something very special here on Forkcast: an exclusive preview of the Arcade Fire's appearance on the show this weekend. I don't know the set list of the full program, but in this clip they offer a rousing version of "Keep the Car Running", a song that's turned into a nice thread through this fall, what with Win Butler and Régine Chassagne's earlier performance of the tune with Bruce Springsteen. They sound especially pumped up, and there's the usual huge gang onstage playing all sorts of interesting instruments. Nice! The show airs this Saturday, November 10, check your local PBS station for the time. Looks like this will be a good one.
 
UPDATE: Setlist! Hmm, I guess we can start taking a cue from Dead fans and just say "Power Lies" from now on. Those two songs make such a cute couple.
