Notes:
I have been trying to see Arcade Fire since 2005 but for one reason or another, I wasn't able to until now. A really quick in and out for this festival, as they were the only band I wanted to see. It was their first time performing in Charleston too. Tape came out really good. I thought I had the levels dialed in at the beginning. Only to find out that I had totally misdialed the levels and blew out for the first few seconds, ha. Had to remove Circle of Trust from the video, as it was blocked world wide. But the audio recording circulates out there. Video came out pretty good and had a good spot up front considering getting there maybe 45 minutes before AF went on!
