“The LCD Soundsystem show last night at Webster Hall was hands-down, one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years. Absolutely stupendous.” – DJ Bunny Ears

“floor was literally shaking last night. I felt it and just stood still to see if my mind was playing tricks on me but the floor was taking me up and down on its own. and only the people in the front right were really jumping and dancing. if the entire venue was jumping and dancing i wonder how the floor would have moved.” [Anonymous]

If I wasn’t having so much trouble keeping my eyes open right now, I would write more about how excellent last night’s (4/12) Webster Hall show was. I might attempt to compare it more to the life-changing (don’t get mad at me for being overly excited and slightly exaggerating) event that was Thursday’s gig at Music Hall of Williamsburg, but let’s just say that Webster Hall was also awesome, but different due to the band opening with the new song “Pow Wow” off the new leaked album that a less-drunk (which is a good or bad thing depending on your point of view) James Murphy begged the crowd not to leak (it leaked just a few hours earlier) from the stage. Pow Wow was one of three new songs they played, but the only one they were playing for the first time (they also played Drunk Girls and I Can Change at Music Hall). I almost didn’t go to Webster Hall because I didn’t want to be disappointed, but then I couldn’t resist and I’m glad I did.

Next up for the band is Coachella followed by a tour and then three shows at Terminal 5 (I’m definitely going to at least one of those) (and then more touring). The setlist and more pictures from Webster Hall, below…
