Arcade Fire will be performing tonight, August 5th, at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden and there will be a familiar cult favorite director behind the lens for a live Webcast: Terry Gilliam.

Gilliam has been a fan since Arcade Fire’s debut, so when their manager called Gilliam’s agent to suggest such a venture, he jumped at the chance. In Gilliam’s own words: “God, I’m really depressed sitting here in London. Let’s go and be a groupie for a bit”.

While this isn’t the first time a band has live-streamed a show, it is the first to do so with a major Hollywood director.  And no, The Last Waltz wasn’t a live Webcast either… though, that would have been awesome!
