WATCH: Arcade Fire Cover Jane's Addiction's 'Been Caught Stealing' While Stealing Fans' Cell Phones [VIDEO]

Arcade Fire decided to get literal with their performance at the The Forum in Los Angeles on Friday night.

Sticking to their vow to cover local music at all shows on the current Reflektor tour, the band unveiled their version of "Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction. During the song, frontman Win Butler – wearing an oversized bandit head - began "stealing" cell phones from fans in the front row.

He gave them back minutes later while the band moved from the Addiction favorite to the intro of "Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns N Roses. After channeling Slash, AF seamlessly shifted to the original "Here Comes The Night".

You can watch the excellent fan video below (kudos to Stereogum for the find):
