Since so many people ask about how I take these videos, here are answers to some frequently asked questions. I use a basic Sony Cybershot digital camera (a DSCT100 at the moment) to take these videos, so there is no tape. I do NOT record complete shows- I only record select songs- so there are no single files containing entire shows. Also, I do not hold the camera up to my eye or over my head for these videos, since I do want to enjoy the show myself (meaning I want to watch the band directly instead of through a viewfinder), and I also hate blocking other people's view of the show. I find that my best videos are taken by holding my camera at about chest level, pointing in the general direction of the action, so that I can actually watch the performance, only occasionally looking down to check the camera's screen. It helps to arrive early and get up to the front so that there are no people in front of me to block the camera's view.

Arcade Fire - Intervention - live Greek Theatre LA 5/29/07
December 01, 2007, 10:52 PM
The Arcade Fire perform "Intervention" from their album "Neon Bible" at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on May 29, 2007. I'm very proud of these Arcade Fire videos, but seriously, they don't do the band justice. You MUST see them live if you get the chance...

Unfortunately, no, I didn't have tickets to the Detour Festival, but it turned out to be probably a good thing, since I came down with the flu over the weekend.
dharmashark | October 06, 2007
Did you go to the Detour Festival?

Thanks for the great NP videos from the Music Box.
okeastron | September 19, 2007
Nope. I've seen both Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem twice in the past 6 months. I'm seeing The New Pornographers and Lavender Diamond instead.
