Watch John Legend And The Roots Play Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up”

The Arcade Fire’s influence spreads far and wide. Check out this video of John Legend and The Roots covering “Wake Up,” off the band’s debut Funeral, during a performance for YouTube’s Unstaged series. The gig was shot by famed director Spike Lee at Terminal 5 in New York City. Legend and the Roots’ version lays bare the song’s simple, sing-along melody, and doesn’t skimp on the emotional fireworks. Questlove sure seems to be having a good time. Don’t sleep on this rare R&B tribute to indie rock.
