Byrd's Eye View - Arcade Fire at The Ryman
Montreal rockers Arcade Fire made a stop in Nashville on Monday, August 9, 2010 for a sold out show at The Ryman Auditorium. The band closed out the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago the previous night and played two back to back shows at Madison Square Garden earlier in the week but when the opportunity to play the mother church of country music presented itself, the band simply couldn't pass it up. Outside the venue, scalpers were peddling tickets at up to $300 a pop and some fans travelled from as far as Scotland for the show which had Tyler Messick taking over the opening duties from Spoon.
