Looking for a way to reconcile Arcade Fire winning Best Live Act and Most Overblogged? It's probably that people were just sick of reading justifiably glowing Arcade Fire show reviews. If concertgoers weren't out worshiping Neon Bible, they were collecting in mass reverence to the great glowing pyramid, watching French robots come Alive. From there the list's a grab bag of the year's most hailed tours, from the Hold Steady to Grizzly, from Battles to of Montreal. Nice love for Man Man (beating My Morning Jacket no less). Note: Radiohead didn't tour this year and still they placed #16. They're just that good.
