Just wanter to say thanks for the great concert, you have a big fan base here in Croatia. You were great and the crowd responded to it. It was really great. Come back soon! You could visit Split sometimes to. biggrin.gif

The set list was great, i just missed available, too bad you did not play it. But we will leave that for you when you come next time.

So full of energy. Matt was great, and the whole band was great. smile.gif

Hayden was good too. smile.gif

the concert in kset few years ago was great, but this was something else...this was definately the best concert i've ever been to. can't wait to see them again, though it will be tough to overtop this one. the setlist was great, the band, the crowd, the atmosphere... the guys are just brilliant. if i should choose the highlight of the evening and there were many, i would choose the sing along part in the end of daughters of the soho riots.

the concert was simply amazing, and the guys were amazed, if not a bit shocked by the response they got smile.gif

here is a little bit of great audience singalong at the end of daughters of the soho riots:

Beautiful, been to six shows this tour and never seen a crowd like this. You could tell the band was loving it.

Just watched some of the youtube videos. Those gigs looked pretty special.

this was a truly, unbelievably amazing show .... the place was pretty packed, there were something like 1300 people, and the most amazing thing was that it seemed like everyone knew all the lyrics to all the songs....i mean, everyone was singing, all the time! the atmosphere was too beautiful for words, there were lots of massive singalongs, the whole place went nuts for Mr.November & Abel, Matt looked almost ridiculously happy at times, he was so adorable biggrin.gif some of the highlights for me:
- the look on matt's face when he heard us singing, or screaming - "Walk away nooooooow........ and you're gonna start a war" -he looked at us in complete disbelief, and the Dessner brothers were just smiling at each other biggrin.gif and then, when the song was finished, he was like :" Holy SHIT! You guys like to sing!!"
- towards the end of Soho Riots, the crowd completely takes over, Matt stops singing, the band stops playing, the crowd just sings the line "break my arms around the one i love, be forgiven by the time my lover comes...." again and again and again. beautiful.
- Matt saying he'll tell Arcade Fire to play here. Yes, please please please ohmy.gif (this gig actually had the "feel" of an arcade fire gig, it was just so so intense and euphoric. I can't even imagine what it would be like if AF came here )
- About Today. One of the most beautifully performed songs i've ever seen.... and a perfect closer, even though we all expected them to come back for another encore, but hey, they must have been dead tired....
All in all, it was one of the most memorable nights of my life, it was incredible to just lose myself in the collective euphoria. There was so much admiration shared between the band and the audience. This gig will become legendary - people in Zagreb will talk about it in their deathbeds. seriously. and hey you guys from the band, you were amazing, and we love you, SO MUCH, and we know you'll be back pretty soon! smile.gif
there are loads of videos of the show on youtube, and these are some of the best ones .... seriously people, you have to see them smile.gif
the end of soho riots + fake empire = the most beautiful singalong ... ever
walk away noooooow, and you're gonna start a war....
Slow Show. nice quality. and another huuuuuge singalong towards the end
About Today..... so beautiful
Mr. November- crappy audio but you can kinda feel the amazing energy smile.gif

I agree, this looked pretty special yeah. Ofcourse in a very very good way.
I wish I could have been there, this is how the crowd should truelly have been.

I am an "old" Zagreb newaver/postpunker: saw Pixies, Sonic Youth, Pere Ubu and Talking Heads in the 80s in Zagreb. I was going on National gig and I even had not heard a single National song. But I believed to the press! And---o-hhho-hhhooo!!! What a gig that was! Comparable to that of Pixies in Kulušić in the 1989!
Great band! And great Zagreb alternative audience!

PS.We want Arcade Fire !!!!!!
