Overheard: What Did You Think of the Arcade Fire Show?

The Cult of Arcade Fire gained a few more members last night at the United Palace Theater, where the huge Neon Bible light show matched the opulence of the renovated theater-cum-church-cum-theater. Riling up the crowd, the band tossed snare drums, shook their shoulder tassels, and haphazardly used a megaphone that at one point sounded like a fire alarm in the overpacked venue. How did the fans respond?

"The megaphone was great. They’re definitely going for more of an arena sound: It’s bigger, but it’s also more introverted and somber at the same time."
