Arcade Fire play in Santa Fe

Arcade Fire performed at Santa Fe Community Convention Center Monday, April 18.  The tickets were sold out at least a week before the date of the event.  Ticket prices averaged around $50 and $1 from the price of the ticket went to help the victims in Haiti.

Eleven microphones and eight band members

The first thing I noticed while they were setting up the stage for Arcade Fire, were the numerous microphones.  There were also an array of instruments that needed to be tuned including the unusual hurdy gurdy.  Which is like a guitar that has a crank which rotates and strums the strings continuously.
