I love them too - definitely one of my favourite bands. I just saw them live at the BDO so I can attest to their greatness in concert. Here's a mini-review I posted on another forum... I'll post my account of the whole concert here at some point tonight too.
Now, the Arcade Fire put on an absolutely awesome show and blew me away. It was bloody glorious. I swear all of them can play each other's instruments - they were trading between roles. Amazing stage presence... jumping all over the place and playing with sheer energy. At one stage, two of them were rolling around on the stage and drumming on each other. One of them also climbed up the metal framework of the stage and started banging on his drum up there.
Here's a pic of it. And
another pic. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen.
