Phoenix live on the streets of Paris!

Here are some videos of Phoenix playing some rather charming, impromptu gigs on the streets of Paris in places like Trocadero Square, the top deck of a tourist bus and under a bridge. They show the strength of the songs on their recent Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix album by how great they sound in such a stripped-down form. These guerilla performances are wonderfully shot by Vincent Moon as part of his fantastic Take-Away Shows series which also includes Sigur Ros, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Lykke Li, Animal Collective and Arcade Fire etc.
