Is Gavin Russom not on stage tonight? Or is he hidden somewhere in the back?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:45 (thirteen years ago) link
murphy introduced him earlier so he's probably crawling around back there somewhere
― Clay, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Pretty sure he's on stage right now, wearing a white hat.

I hope no one with easily trigger epilepsy is in the audience.
― Uteruses Before Duderuses (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:53 (thirteen years ago) link
Have seen better performances of "Yeah" btw. That wasn't bad, but it's a shame they didn't bring the house down with it tonight of all nights.
― Uteruses Before Duderuses (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Lol yeah there were strobe warnings at T5, and then there was a complete visual assault of like 5 minutes of intense strobing at the end of one of the sets
Totally downloading the video rip tomorrow but srsly nothing can rly come close to the live experience

Dude wasn't exactly doing high kicks tuesday, but his voice definitely seems wearier, surprised how little the back-up seems to differ from what I saw at T5 - I figured they'd really go (wah wah) Stop Making Sense with the backdrops or something, but it looks like the same lighting rig from the stream
― da croupier, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:56 (thirteen years ago) link
i did hear they crowdsourced some airplane window footage, dunno if that's been displayed yet
― da croupier, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Totally agree re: "Yeah", thought the same thing at the time.
But yeah, feeling the bass/seeing shapes in your eyes from the strobing/observing everyone else going just as apeshit as you/all of the above, omg Jesus lawd god baby Jesus god
― ToeJam & Lewis (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:59 (thirteen years ago) link
James appears to be totally spent. Yeah and Tribulations both suffered because of his exhaustion but this band, even without James, is top tier.
Who is the guy grooving in the white gas station attendant suit next to Gavin Russom?
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:59 (thirteen years ago) link
"Yeah" and "Someone Great" are 2/3rds of my holy LCD trinity...if they roll out "Losing My Edge" next, I won't know what to do.
― Uteruses Before Duderuses (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:59 (thirteen years ago) link
dude jf they've basically just added some covers to the T5 setlist, stop acting like this is a mystery: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lcd-soundsystem/2011/terminal-5-new-york-ny-13d24d59.html
fyi i'm not sticking around to bitch about it or anything - they didn't add "jump in the fire" to the setlist until wed or thurs, and I'd love to see it tonight
― da croupier, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I've seen a lot of signs lately at shows warning of "extensive strobe lights," which has made me wonder: if you are epileptic, do you have to call the venue first to see if there are going to be extensive strobe lights? Or do you just show up that night, see the sign, shrug and go home?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:02 (thirteen years ago) link
O HOLY SHIT xp

dude jf they've basically just added some covers to the T5 setlist, stop acting like this is a mystery:
Man, I didn't even care about this until about 10 seconds before I decided to watch it, so it's not like I've been keeping track of setlists.
― Uteruses Before Duderuses (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh, I see: Russom shaved!
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Wait, or did he?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:04 (thirteen years ago) link
This is very important stuff!
Do think Al Doyle adds a lot to the band, in terms of movement and activity. I've seen them both with and without him, and with him is always more energetic.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Ha, "We could do this for another hour ... I paid for this so I should know ... "
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:11 (thirteen years ago) link
He just ended Losing My Edge by saying 'we can do this for another hour if we want, I'm game'
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:11 (thirteen years ago) link
We heard it slightly different but the sentiment is the same.

Just read on the LCD forums that Spike Jones is filming for the DVD release.
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't know if i've ever been as gassed as murphy seems right now
― Clay, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:14 (thirteen years ago) link
like i am almost worried about him
― Clay, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Ha before just checking wikipedia now I didn't connect that this dude is the same dude from Hot Chip
― da croupier, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:18 (thirteen years ago) link
and yeah, without him on stage this really would just be a bunch of folks behind drum sets and white walls of keyboards

Ouch..

Too bad JM has spent the whole set fucking with his earpiece.
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:27 (thirteen years ago) link
That's pretty par for a LCD show.
Poor James Murphy. You know you don't have to break up, guy! Just go on hiatus. It's easy.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:28 (thirteen years ago) link
FYI they cut 8 songs from the MSG setlist for the Monday/28th show
― ToeJam & Lewis (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Expected the crowd to be 99% white. Didn't expect it to be 99% male (though I don't know why I wouldn't have).
― Uteruses Before Duderuses (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:34 (thirteen years ago) link
omg are they playing the twin peaks theme???
― Clay, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:39 (thirteen years ago) link
NY I Love You is the worst LCD song ever. Shame they close with it all the time. Guess it's a good time to leave and beat the traffic.
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 3 April 2011 04:39 (thirteen years ago) link
NYC is overrated too.

Does Al drag that Telecaster behind the bus from city to city?

how long as arcade fire been playing w/ them
second time I saw them (Jan 2008) they had 1-2 AF members on stage every second song, but that was bcz they were travelling with the same festival
I've seen them both with and without [Al Doyle], and with him is always more energetic.
yes - saw them twice with, and twice without, and the first "with" was waayyyyy above a "without"
(though the second without was a Hot Chip double-header where Al didn't play with them, but Joe Goddard had stayed in the northern hemisphere, so he'd already had to be #2 in one band already. they only played two cities, and apparently he was playing in the wings for LCD in Melbourne.)

Gender mix was more like 60/40 at the T5 show I went to.

I didn't really scope out the footage from this show but it is worth remembering that tall dudes would stick out more in pans of heads mid-stream
