LCD Soundsystem @ the Fox Theater in Pomona 6/5/2010

This was a bitter sweet show for yours truly. I love me some LCD Soundsytem but have only experienced them in festival format. Finally I get to see them do their own thing, and guess what, this is their last tour.

The show was kick ass, they played all their hits, and there was a lot of shit talking going on. Their on stage presence was real strong, playing on a tiered staged, a whole lotta lights and some serious fog action assisted in the street fighter uppercut that LCD delivered to the crowd. The set list was sick. Drunk Girls, YR City is a Sucker, and Daft Punk is Playing at My House were all crowd favorites. Pow Pow had this Lord of the Rings(when Sauron dies in the first one and there is a shockwave of bass)  meets the Deathstar firing bass sound that travel through the floor up into your feet and out your third eye that made you say WOW during Pow Pow. But the jam of the night was “Yeah”. First off the song went well past the 10 minute mark. They turned on the fog machine to high and slowly but progressively had this warm green light that eventually took up the entire stage, now your cant see anyone, only silhouettes during this serious jam. Then out of nowhere, LAZERS!!!!! Shooting out all over the place, it was a sight to behold. They came out did a 3 song encore, and which included and ended with New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down.

Hopefully James Murphy will consider sticking around and continue to make kick ass music as LCD Soundsystem, if not is was a fucking awesome ride while it lasted. Thanks LCD Soundsystem, pow pow.
