Apple has spotlighted Everything Now Live on the Browse tab of Apple Music, and within the featured card there are highlights from the show, songs featured during the concert from new and old albums, playlists, and Beats 1 shows during which the band has performed and discussed Everything Now.

Apple's description of the exclusive performance follows:

Known for larger-than-life anthems that blend folk intimacy with dance-floor electricity, the shape-shifting Montreal collective is one of the decade's most exciting bands. To celebrate the release of their fifth album, Everything Now, they took the stage at Brooklyn's Grand Prospect Hall. See the film exclusively on Apple Music.

While Everything Now Live is exclusive to Apple Music, the Everything Now album is available on Spotify as well. Previous music-related films exclusive to Apple Music have included performances by Taylor Swift and a behind-the-album look at Harry Styles' first solo album.

Interesting because Arcade Fire were onstage during the Tidal launch

Arcade Fire are one of Tidal's founders.

And Everything Now is total garbage in comparison to all of their other work.

Seems completely logical, I mean how coulda a lightbulb work flawlessly without knowing where your couch and tables are

just listened to the new album. outside of the title track, i agree it's total garbage. which is tough to say -- they're one of my favorite bands.

i'll watch the concert next and see if any of the new songs are better live. doubt it though.

It's because Tidal isn't paying artists the money they are owed for exclusives. Kanye recently split from Tidal because Tidal/Jay-Z owes him $3 million dollars.

I don't even like that one, although it seems to be the most popular track. I just can't get passed the lame ABBA riff and the simplistic chord progression. Creature Comfort would be my favorite, if it didn't have such stupid lyrics. The album as a whole is just awful lyrically. It's so disappointing that such an incredible band got so far out of touch with their talent. I'm glad I got to see them during The Suburbs, before Will and Regine's heads exploded.

Listen to it a few more times.

Creature Confort, Electric Blue, We don't deserve love are in par with their classics imho.

Agreed. The lyrics are incredibly sad, but beautiful. Basically this album is a lovesong/apology from Wil to Regine.

Merits of the album aside though, why was the audio quality of the performance so bad? It sounded like the mix was waaaaay off.
