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")
