Considering how Reflektor sounded, it only seemed inevitable for Arcade Fire to cover Prince. On the second date of their U.S. tour (March 9), the Canadian art-rockers started their encore with a cover of Prince’s “Controversy.” The Minneapolis show during which the cover took place followed on from the first show in Louisville, where they played The Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time.” Luckily, the Minneapolis show was broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio, and @ArcadeFireTube managed get a recording of it.
