NYC for LCD at MSG! We had an absolute blast at the final LCD Soundsystem show at Madison Square Garden. Joe's brother Jon, and his wife Ali, were excellent pre-gaming and dancing companions for the evening--so much so that we were all a little beer hazy and sore the following morning. LCD's set capped out at a solid four hours. James Murphy filled every minute with his beat happy, booty shaking hits--it seemed not a single one was left unplayed, giving both the fans and the band members themselves a proper chance to say goodbye. He closed the set with a beautiful ode to NYC, using cityscape and cloud images that LCD requested fans to submit a few days before the final show. As the final note was played, the release of white balloons suspended from nets above the floor seats seemed to symbolize a reverse ascent as LCD passed on, into music history. While they may cease to produce new music as a group, their records will have a place in all of our Itunes for years to come.
Love that you still have that jacket, so do I. I bet the show was amazing, what an experience! Did they play "someone great"?

ReplyDeleteThat jacket is a keeper--if not for everyday than at least for costumes! They played every single song! All my Friends, Someone Great, Home, Daft Punk...it really was a wonderful farewell show.
