Okay, a few of these dates are past, but still...I've heard this show is great, and the Chicago one falls exactly on my 21st birthday! I'm so excited, I feel like a teenager again! Is anyone going??

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

I actually might go to the show at the Metro.... but I haven't bought tickets yet, and need to check my calendar

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Going in Vancouver. Loved their last show.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Well do it quickly! I was having problems getting tickets because Ticketmaster was acting very strange and tried to get them through the box office. The guy there said something like, "we can't sell tickets unless you pick them up, and do it soon because this concert will sell out"...

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

ok - well, I ended up getting two tickets... although - I'm not 100% positive I'll be going, as that's sort of near time for finals.... (I think)

I figure, if I can't go, I'll be able to find someone who wants the tickets... I just don't want to realize I could've gone, only to discover they were sold out

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Missed Murphy's last show in Portland and now it's not on the new schedule. Oh well.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

tickets already bought for Toronto show.
no, not the dj set.
pfft to the dj set.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

no florida love wtf

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

They'll be posting more shows in the US. They are still making arrangements. I blew a gasket about no ATL show again, and he (james) told me more show's are coming... Maybe FL Love will flow. Who know (s)?

James told "me" via the forums. I reread my post and it sounds like we are buds. He frequently posts on the LCD forums.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

I'll be praying then. Good to know there's still hope!

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

i'll be at the show at the metro :) hope to meet up with a few of you dirts there!

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Ahhh, just got back from my trip to Chicago yesterday, the Metro show was really fucking good, especially the 20 minute "Yeah" at the end. Pretty much every single song he played was fantastic, even if "Someone Great" and "Losing My Edge" didn't appear. Plus I got to meet James at the Smart Bar...he told me he was running late, but he still signed my CD and took a few pictures with me. He was DJing later and you could go up and talk to him if you wanted. Really nice guy. It was maybe the best show I've ever seen, but I did get to catch Cornelius the following day, and that was pretty damn impressive too :eek:

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

shit man... I forgot to post to you guys before I left. Although, I probably wouldn't have been able to hang out or anything, as I had to get up ass-early Monday morning to drive back to Iowa City to finish my financial report that was due that day

but yea - I also went to the show. it was fantastic, and YACHT wasn't too bad either!

although - I was a bit miffed that "Someone Great" and "Losing my Edge" weren't played

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

agree that LCD are smokin hot on this tour. however, joe and other dude, don't be bummed about Someone Great or Losing My Edge not appearing. those songs don't translate live very well. i've seen LCD 2 times, the first time, Losing My Edge was the weakest track and the most recent show, Someone Great was very disappointing.

other than that, they were incredible.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

I figured Losing my Edge wouldn't be played because he did Get Innocuous, but I was really hoping for Someone Great, especially since there was a short part after one of the songs that sounded like the opening of it and a bunch of people around me went nuts. The audience was dancing like crazy during pretty much the entire set, so something slower would have been nice.

But the best part of the night:

Yeeeeeah!

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

yea... when they were setting up the stage - a bit of percussion came on that sounded like the intro to "Losing My Edge" - so I convinced myself that they were going to play it

then, when "Get Innocuous" started - I was one of those people going ape-shit... only to discover that it wasn't "Losing My Edge" (not to say that "Get Innocuous" isn't a great track)

but after I thought about it for a while... "Losing..." may not necessarily be a great song live, as there are an abundance of lyrics, and I'd imagine James might be a bit tired of the track, as it's what - five years old?

I am bummed that I didn't go down to Smartbar afterwards... but I seriously just plainly couldn't. I had to get up the next morning at 6.30 to get back to my paper that was due later that day.

seeing LCD live definitely solidified how endebted they are to Talking Heads [just listen to "The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads, Disc 2 (1980-1981)"] though (and early Brian Eno - stuff like "No One Receiving")

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

get innocuous is 100X better live than Losing My Edge. i've spent all week singing "you can normalize, don't it make you feel alive"

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

The show in Vancity was amazing but we didn't get Sound of Silver. Bummer.

Who would have thought they could make Yeah even better?

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

hey adam, i haven't seen Sound of Silver on any setlists so far. not sure they're doing that one.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Right, it was exactly the same for me too! James did say once that he doesn't like doing it, but it's hard for him not to because the band was really good at playing the song.

Definetely got to echo the thoughts on "Yeah"...I thought it was a nice groove, but maaaan was it relentless.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

I've never met him, but he has responded on the lcd board to one of my posts. From the interviews I've read he seems to really enjoy talking about music.

Did they play No Love Lost?

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Yeah, it was played during the encore. And he does like talking about music...I told him I got into the group because of all the comparisons with the Fall and he basically told me how he was obsessed with the Fall and all that. He doesn't sing like that anymore though :(

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Just wanted to chime in and repeat that the Vancouver show was amazing... wow... the man pulls it off live amazingly.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

recent Toronto show was so wicked.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

I know, the albums do not do the music justice.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

Someone Great from the Montreal Show:

sounds pretty f'n good here, but it just lost the momentum half way through at our show in seattle.

Re: LCD Soundsystem North American Tour
 

thanks for posting that :) since they didn't play it in chicago, at least i know know how it would have sounded!
