LCD Soundsystem @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC (March 2007) - reviews, pics

AMAZING performance. i look forward to studio b

planningtorock was aawesome......LCD came out wiht her on saturday and killed it.

I agree 100%! I went on Saturday and it was by far one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Amazing energy, great crowd, ROCK! Can't wait for the next two shows! WOW!

i couldn't agree more. fun x1,000,000.

loved the whole show

James Murphy came into Bowery right behind me at 10pm on Friday. He was just waiting in line behind us for his turn to get in like a normal ticket holder. Very strange. He seemed a little out of it.

planning to rock was awesome?

sir/madam, your ears are broken

that was some of the worst karoake/boombox/chair standing/projector/film strip/mask wearing antics i've ever seen or heard

i'm sure the bar made most of it's money during this set.

i personally spent around 40 dollars trying to numb my brain from the shrill noises i was hearing.

i went both nights and saturday was actually better than friday, if only because they played someone great. both nights were ridiculous, but saturday...wow.

yeah planning to rock was godawful but i respect that it was at least different.

as for lcd...an excellent performance...great song selection. the new songs sound great live...especially innocuous and all my friends.

but, i may be ultra jaded but the crowd sucked. no one was dancing. everyone was moshing. dumb frat guys holding up their drinks as they get bumped into each other...splashing their drinks on others. dumb frat drunk guys pushing their way to the front of the stage. when some girl made a comment, some fat fuck just cursed at her and walked off.

hey anoynomous, if that is your real name, you're a moron at best and sub mental at worst. planningtorock was an insane, awesome experience. very weird and she commanded the stage. and yes, lcd was one of the best shows i've ever seen.

Saturday's crowd was much better than Friday's if you ask me which is weird as I'd have thought the 18+ audience woulda been more into it. They did "Someone Great" on Saturday too, though it wasn't that hot live as it's the mostly keyboards.

Did ANYONE get in the afterparty? I stood in line for a minute before bouncers came by yelling "guest list only... come back after 3!" I decided to call it a night.

Afterparty was alright. I think the bouncers were just saying that because well... the place was packed and they couldn't fit more people in. Cut Copy was on the first floor ripping it up all night. In the basement Jame Murphy, the drummer from LCD, and the Guitarist from Hot Chip(who's played with LCD this tour) were all tag teaming. Good fun, expensive bar tab. too many dudes.

PTR... ehhhh, no thank you. interesting vocals but kind of creepy.

Afterparty was fun, spent too much money. Once you get past the velvet ropes 205 is alright. Most awkwardly placed bathroom in ny, maybe behind westville.

afterparty was wack. lame. you did not miss anything if you were not there.

afterparty fucking ruled...so glad i went...velvet ropes, bathroom attendants, and dfa...life is good!

so sorry i didn't go the the saturday show...someone great is the one i was hoping for on friday.

did they encore with joy division on saturday?

Does anyone know the cover that LCD Soundsystem played on Saturday night? I think it might have been a Joy Division song...

The best part of the Saturday gig, besides the band being fucking brilliant, was standing in the back next to Tim Goldsworthy, Rob Heubel and Aziz. Aziz was doing the best dance I have ever seen in my life. It was like the chicken dance only miles, miles better.

Ya a show is much better when rob and aziz are there. Much much better

joy divison cover = no love lost

a better question...why doesn't everybody own warsaw?

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

did they play 'someone great' on friday and i somehow missed it? not possible?

I was really sweaty and really really tired and really really really happy.

No, they didn't play something great on Friday.

thank god...

saw this under the "3/30" heading and freaked the fuck out...

on the bright side, i didn't miss it...on the flipside, lcd apparently did

sweet titties. i'm losing my edge.

They did NOT play "Someone Great" on Friday. I hope they play it at Studio B.

I got video of the lcd soundsystem of joy division's cover...on youtube......jus search for lcd soundsystem at bowery....no love lost.....lcd was great...

the cover song on Friday before NY I Love You was "Throw" by Paperclip People (Carl Craig). I wasn't there on Sat, but I hear that they have been doing this cover all over Europe, so maybe it was the same one?

are you sure we got paperclip people? i could almost swear we got no love lost on fri night. but then again the nights a bit fuzzy, with all the sweating,dancing,awesome-ing. it was so fucking incredible. anyone have the ACTUAL setlists for both nights?

Well, I agree that the night's a bit fuzzy for me too, but I listened to the original "throw" twice today in the car, and I'm certain that's what we heard right as the encore started.

Anyone know what song was played when the lights went down before the band came on?

okay, I know Friday right now is very fuzzy...I watched the you tube video, and we did hear the Joy Divison song at the beginning of the encore. But I swear that we heard the baseline and james hitting the snare druns from "Throw" at some point. Maybe right before they launched into "yeah"?

man this show was so fun. i went with my brothers. it reminded me of that time we saw nine inch nails. i'm just so happy we exist in downtown new york and listen to lcd soundystem. hipsters are so gay!

Friday's cover was NOT "Throw." The baseline and beat to "Yeah Yeah Yeah" is similar to "Throw" which is why some people may have thought they had heard it.

Hey fratboy... my favorite part of Saturday's show was when you spilled beer on my girlfriend, and she proceeded to kick you in the shins.

i love the shins!

hey, anonymous, my favorite part of Saturday's show was when I spilled beer on your gilrfriend. booyeah!

nice one, broseph! could you see her titties?

the frat boys dancing with each other was a hi-lite of sat's show

that LCD mo-fo can rock the timbales!!!!

anyone catch the game?

jello shots and jalapeno poppers on my roof tonight @ 8 -- it's gonna be tight

p.s. good show , i felt a little 7 mary three influence in the vocals... which is cool, but sort of derivitave

of course i caught the games, that's why i got fri. tickets. lcd and final four... damn, what a weekend!

anyone up for beer pong @ bar nun before the webster hall show?

Me and my girl travelled over from the UK just to see LCD after winning the bidding on e bay.Got to say they were yet again blinding.We saw them at the Astoria in London and it was probably the best gig I have ever seen.The place was jumping and I mean jumping!!The lighting and sheer voliume of sound created was awesome.Went to the after show do as well and it was great.Nearly missed the show when the doorman refused to let me in because I had no ID!Had to go all the way back to our hotel to get my drivers licence.I know he was only doing his job.
P.S You yankees have got a bit of a bad reputation back in good old blighty but I have got to say that I was bowled over by just how friendly and helpful New Yorkers actually are.We cant wait to come back.Many thanks.

yeah man. everyone who likes sports is intellectually subhuman.

the show was amazing..falls into one of those that you'll never forget!

tickets for studio b went back on sale this afternoon at noon but were gone within 15 minutes.. got a bunch. cant freaking wait.
