AD Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The Arcade Fire peeps were Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, and the song after State Trooper was Arcade Fire's "Keep The Car Running"Word travels fast - Sean called me from the highway after the show to tell me about it, and then I checked online and Pitchfork was already reporting the guest appearance!

Hartamophone Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Did anyone at the Ottawa show have problems getting in? My mother and stepfather were there, and called me from outside the venue within an hour of the scheduled start of the show, saying that the gates hadn't yet opened. Once they were let in, they were told that there were some delays in getting "set up". I know the show wasn't affected at all, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what was up.

Freak By Night Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Yes they did delay opening the doors for awhile. Once the doors were opened, there was plenty of time to get seated before the show started at about 8:20pmI always thought that "Keep the Car Running" sounded like a Springsteen song. What a pleasant surprise when that song was played last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 for any fans of Springsteen near the Hammerton you might want to check out Peter Case at Pepperjacks Wednesday night (<- link to Case's bio)Springsteen has said in the past (Rolling Stone mag) that the music he was listening to predominately was coming from Case... described as "an important American singer/songwriter specializing in the flat-pick guitar style and semi-autobiographical stories of drifters delivered in a narrative style."... personally unfamiliar but sounds like a musician's musician, am intrigued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 How was general admission? Those instructions are intimidating. Were there 2 GA areas? If people showed up past the bracelet thing were they screwed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check out some of his tunes (can't make it to the shows this week). Looking at his tour schedule on his website, he's in the 'area' today and could be a possibility as a guest apperance? http://www.petercase.com/tour/tour.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 No, we showed up and drank in the lots until 7:45. We walked right into the show, right down to the floor, and were quite surprised at the amount of room to move around. We were in front of the soundboard with a clear view of the stage, had loads of room to boogie and had at least 2 or 3 beers for each of us the whole night.As far as we could see there were two GA sections, one that they let the first 1000 into who had the bracelets and then the second. It didn't impact our experience at all, infact it probably helped because there was no push because people knew you couldn't go very far.By "we" I mean Guigsy, moeron, gmonkey, robdebob x2, velvet and phorbesie.............The whole event exceeded my expectations.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Right on ... good to hear.I quite like GA floor shows in arenas. Due to saftey/fire regulations, they can only allow a certain amount of people down there. It's usually the equivalent to how many people would fit WITH it full of seats. Take those seats away and there's TONS of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The Arcade Fire peeps were Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, and the song after State Trooper was Arcade Fire's "Keep The Car Running"I'd like to hear this. It was a breakout for "State Trooper" (first E-Street live performance since 1984 supposedly). I can also completely picture Springsteen covering "Keep The Car Running" too (one of the only Arcade Fire songs i am really familiar with).

phorbesie Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) We were in front of the soundboard with a clear view of the stagewell that sounds nice. i couldn't see shit.As far as we could see there were two GA sections, one that they let the first 1000 into who had the bracelets and then the second. It didn't impact our experience at all, infact it probably helped because there was no push because people knew you couldn't go very far.i feel like my experience would have been so much better if we could have gone up front and picked up on some of the energy coming from the stage. i didn't think the show was worth the $.
