Ed Sheeran: Jumpers for Goalposts
Jumpers for Goalposts brings together Ed’s captivating performances from the biggest shows of his career at Wembley Stadium in July 2015, where he wows the 80,000 strong crowd with his biggest hits to date, including “The A Team”, “Sing” and “Thinking Out Loud” – and there’s even a surprise duet from Sir Elton John. As well as his breath-taking onstage performance, Jumpers for Goalposts is intercut with the story of Ed’s triumphant road to Wembley, presenting a revealing and personal glimpse into life backstage and on the road, along with an honest and intimate reflection by Ed – and those closest to him – on just how far he has come.
Arcade Fire - The Reflektor Tapes

LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye
LCD Soundsystem blew out their year-long farewell tour with a final hometown show that lasted 3 hours and 41 minutes, turning the sold out Madison Square Garden into a sweaty punk-disco rave. Supported by New York post-punk group Liquid Liquid as well as a handful of special guests, including The Juan MacLean, Reggie Watts and members of Arcade Fire, the electronic dance group pulled out 29 songs in total, including a rare performance of "45:33".

Miroir Noir
The Arcade Fire’s enigmatic Miroir Noir opens with its most authentic moment: the band faces each other in the middle of an audience and gingerly eases into “Wake Up”. The fans bunch awkwardly around them as Win Butler intones into a ghetto-taped megaphone. Renowned for their sojourns into the crowd, this particular gimmick is usually configured as a populist transgression of the supposed boundary between performer and audience. But this footage shows indie’s high priests seeming uneasy among the faithful, who appear to share the feeling. No species of direct connection is sought. Even in such close quarters, the act of leveling can only be achieved through the conduit of the music.
Arcade Fire - Austin City Limits
From the ACL Taping Program on September 14, 2007: Hailed as the "band who helped put Canadian music on the world map" by TIME magazine, experimental indie rock septet Arcade Fire has wowed audiences with its anthemic sound and emotionally-charged lyrics. The band's complex, full sound combines diverse instrumentation with often brooding lyrics that "draw grand lessons from everyday life" (The New York Times).
