There's been a lot of talk about the Arcade Fire's Saturday night show at Randall's Island in New York. Much of the conversation has centered around Win Butler's remark that they won't be playing New York for a while. The band has made similar statements about other cities during this tour, leading to speculation that they're going to take a long break. Following Saturday's show, the Arcade Fire played an encore-in-the-round of the Violent Femmes' "Kiss Off", and now we have this quality video posted to the Vimeo site by show attendee Isaac Wayton (aka "Casiotone"). It features two glorious songs from Funeral, the record that put the Montreal residents on the map, and it's a nice reminder of how they've built their fanatical following.
