Video Deux Concert à Emporter

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Wed, Mar 19 at 8:24 AM

Good morning.

We’ve been writing about our undying devotion to La Blogotheque’s “Concert à Emporter” (I think that means “Take Away Concerts,” to us Yanks, but don’t hold me to that) for some time now. So how about we start this morning out with a couple of their amazing videos?

First up, R.E.M. in a car, which is just surreal enough as it is, but it’s even better since the band is having a blast while performing a sloppy acoustic take on “Living Well Is the Best Revenge,” the opener to their surprisingly impressive new album, Accelerate.

Next up, Arcade Fire, performing “Neon Bible” in an elevator. Not solo, all of them. One elevator, full band, and who needs percussion when you can just tear out pages from a magazine? This is amazing.

Comments

yeah, dude. "neon bible" on an elevator has been my favorite take away show since it premiered. although i do have to say i'm in love with "tiger mountain" by tiny vipers, but that's because i love them a little too much.
