Arcade Fire pay tribute to Jay Reatard

Arcade Fire played last night at the Mann Center in Philadelphia and turned an entire stadium-ready audience into a harmony-laden tribute to musical genius Jay Reatard by covering his song Oh It's Such A Shame.

Arcade Fire's version of the, sadly - now classic, punk song has a different melodic take, much slower and softer, but very fitting for the occasion nonetheless. Jay's original tune is about ten times the amp speed.

Jay Reatard - thank you for sharing your songs with us.
