Last Monday, LCD Soundsystem rocked Webster Hall with their second “surprise” NYC show in the span of a week. They kicked off the sold-out show with “Pow Pow”, which along with “Drunk Girls” and “I Can Change” was one of three new songs that they played over the course of the night. Led by an animated James Murphy, their hard-hitting performance was backed by a full band, including three percussion set-ups.The set list included songs from their eponymous debut album, including “Tribulations”, “Movement”, and their first single, “Losing my Edge”. The mosh pit got started during “Us v Them” from their sophomore effort, Sound of Silver, and continued throughout the show.
James Murphy promised the crowd that they would “play everything by the time we’re done… with New York”, referring to their upcoming three-night run at Terminal 5. They ended the set with the crass version of “Yeah” before taking a break. The encore included “Someone Great” and “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House”. Murphy jokingly announced that their final song would be a Jay-Z cover, before launching into “New York, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down”.
LCD Soundsystem’s upcoming Terminal 5 shows on May 20 and 21 are already sold out, prompting them to add a third show on May 22. Get your tickets HERE.
