Don't know who among you has seen bjork live before, but it definately is a "DO NOT MISS" show. She is touring with a full choir and a great stage setup. Not only does the choir back her up vocally but also serve as her band in several songs. It's wild to see someone go from vocals to playing a french horn.
Also, the Arcade Fire. I saw them a few weeks ago in Seattle. Their stage production is outstanding and they are one of the best live bands i've ever seen!! Sucks that one has to decide between the white stripes and the afore mentioned band. I've seen both and my money will always be on the Arcade Fire.

3-day tix were $130-$160. If you're a fan of Bjork, yeah, she really is that good. By girlfriend started listening to here music about a month before we saw her perform. Even not knowing her music that well, she loved her. If you can't choose between Bjork or Indigo Girls, split the time.

Arghh!!!

But I'll see Arcade Fire even though I like both bands. Two years ago Arcade Fire blew me away at ACL.

Did you see their Funeral show at ACL? I'm interested to see how the two compare, especially because they seem to make a big deal about changing up their live shows based on what album they are promoting. I would guess that Neon Bible would be a bit more relaxed/quaint, but then again... it's Arcade Fire.

i didn't know arcade fire last ACL.. was listening to some mellow folky artist, when I heard this strange singing.. and kinda catchy.. and I found myself liking it. That was how I discovered Arcade Fire.. and why I love festivals.

Now I own their latest album.

I did see their Funeral show. The Neon Bible show had just as much energy, but a bigger stage production. They all still play four different instruments. People are running around. She's on the drums. She's on the piano. Now he's on the drums while she's playing the squeeze box. They manage to go from high energy to lower energy and never loose any of the momentum they have built-up with the crowd. Add in the light show and the props... they're just that good. I don't know that i've ever gushed about a single show so much. This is my "Do Not Miss" pick for ACL 2007!
