Arcade Fire were the stars of the Terry Gilliam-directed first installment of American Express, VEVO, and YouTube’s five-part UNSTAGED series. They show up in this new edition, too, via John Legend & The Roots’ cover of “Wake Up.” It took place at Terminal 5, NYC. Spike Lee directed.
Watch more of the set at YouTube.

Man, I am so excited to see them at House of Blues Chicago in February… it’s going to be INSANE.

It’s absolute garbage. Whether you want to call it a soul cover or whatever else you like, it’s tarnished the original.
I couldn’t get the download to work.
