I once read something somebody had written about this song and it seemed perfect. It was along the lines of "The first time I heard it, I lost my shit, because I didn't know what was coming. The next time I heard it, I lost my shit because I knew what was coming".
I'll be looking for it man even though it's 4:45 either the video I guess I'll have to take you back but thanks for the heads up I miss it I want this time do you have it it's kind of blew me away too man when it just busted into a groove everyone went nuts
The tension in the Garden was almost unbearable as we waited for the beat to drop. This is an incredible video, but it's missing the best part of the in-person moment - as the beat finally dropped and the bank of lights went crazy behind the stage, a shower of glowsticks came raining down from the upper ring and all 12,000 of us collectively lost our minds. And then they played for four more hours. What a night.
I would give anything. The first time I saw them was at bonnaroo 2016 and when the beat dropped fireworks went off and like 40,000 people just lost their collective shit. But to think it was the last time it would ever happen has to add a whole other level
@@evmanbutts I saw them on their reunion "American Dream" tour and they were an hour late on stage with no opening act. Of course I drank to keep myself occupied so by the time the show started I was so drunk I barely remembered the set. I'm so mad at myself 😡
They shamelessly rip off Talking Heads, New Order, David Bowie, early Eno, The Cure, Killing Joke, Liquid Liquid, Wire, and countless post punk acts. He said in an interview that he’s never hid his influences but it’s amazing how many people will eventually go through that “so THAT’S where they got it from” moment at some point.
D Escalade It’s basically a parlor trick. I’m pretty sure he made “Tired” to prove to someone he could do a Stooges song effortlessly. And he did. That song fucking rules, even if it’s basically a Stooges tribute
Around the time that this came out, I had been dating someone for a few weeks. I showed her the song and after the first 30 seconds, she said something like “so this is the kind of music you really like?” And that was the night I chose LCD Soundsystem over a relationship.
and that's on being close minded. music taste isn't everything. my gf is socialist while I'm a right libertarian. If we can have a good relationship, why can't you?
@@mypenisisunbelievablysmall5650 as a fellow right-leaning libertarian, yikes m8. though i did re-read my own comment and almost immediately disagree with myself.
After pouring his absolute being out onto the stage at 7:40 , I’m in awe at the fact they all continued to belt it out for another four hours. Fucking legendary
The entire band is so charming in this video. Everyone smiling and dancing, and having a good time. Giving hugs to the sound engineers before they walk out, the smiles and excitement about the show. It's the essence of the joy of being part of a band.
@@aldossnow3703 yeah people who are smart enough to make some of the greatest music out there instead of generic ghetto crap that people shake their butts to LOL
Heard this song from Evil Dead Rise, the character Danny is playing this on the turntable in the scene where the family is introduced early in the movie 😊 Awesome movie, and it introduced me to LCD soundsystem
It makes me wonder if the structure of Dance Yrself Clean influenced Donald to compose Me and Your Mama. The way the beat drops on both songs is very similar
I've never heard any of this band's music until 5 minutes ago. And this is one of the most passionate and incredible live performances I've ever seen. Im hooked.
Everything about this is better than the studio version and I already loved the studio version. I just jumped happily around my kitchen doing the damn dishes.
I was there. And it was the most fun night of my life. I've seen them 3 times since, but this night we all were in love with each other. It was a huge bonding experience I had with 100 strangers. So beautiful. I hope I meet more of you at one of their shows in the future.
This is one of the best filming/montage music live video that I recall. The live stage is ok but the way it is filmed... wow. The cinematography is absolutely great.
Kind of like being Grateful your Dead..... The people working the boards to make the sound like this are certainly not playing checkers... It sounds like a live studio version that makes any sense it's clean
When I have a bad day....I don't trouble my family or friends with the whining......I simply go watch this. Don't ask me why, but morning coffee seems so much better...........5:20.......
After reading some reviews I thought I'd give these a listen. Interesting after they stop fucking around. And it's hardly a band...it's more like a small country. Great cinematography is all I can say about this.
For reasons I will never understand, I didn’t bother to go see them on their farewell tour. A friend of mine who did told me that I made a giant mistake. When I saw the documentary (“Shut up and Play the hits”) the following year at a festival, I was filled with immense regret. Particularly during this song. Thankfully they got back together a few years ago and started touring again, and I didn’t make that mistake again. This song was everything I needed it to be live. Such a great band, and this is them at their best.
I mean, they'll probably tour again. Cult following and an easy way to make some money. It not like they're a real indie band that will just hang it up one day.
@@tjskelly100I know your comment is old but I'm still replying. If they keep on touring, that's fine for me. I mean, they are making their own money with their own music, for their fans. Isn't that fair? Would you rather for them to steal or something? What's wrong with artists wanting to make money? Maybe it is time for us to cut that sh*t of "all they want is the money"... WE ALL WANT MONEY. And touring is the only way many, if not most artists make money for themselves. Selling music only benefits to the companies.
everytime i revisit this performance i get brung to tears. not because im sad im just envious of everyone who got to see this particular performance. i fucking love LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
I was lucky enough to be there that night. It was an otherworldly experience. I moved to the City right after that and would see James Murphy sometimes on the G train. Never had the balls to tell him how much that show meant to me.
I randomly came across this and, holy shit, I am now an LCD Soundsystem fan and will now start listening to their back catalog. This is an amazing song.
When they got back together in 2016 I was front row for their set at Bonnaroo which I believe was only their third show after Coachella. This was the second to last song. I remember right before The Drop I turned around to face the crowd and when it hit I just saw a sea of people rolling down a field. When he hit the "put your little feet doooown" fireworks went off. I will never, ever forget it.
I'm not really sure who I'm addressing here, since the last comment on this video happened about a year ago, but here I go... I had never heard LCD Soundsystem in my life until a two hour drive one week ago. If I'm letting spotify play recommendations for me while I'm driving, I'm a captive audience. And usually a disappointed one. Their algorithm insists that, based on my favorite artists, I must really, _really_ be into something called "nu-metal." I'm not... I'm really, _really_ not. Really. But there I was, taking 476 out of Philly on September 20th. Bumper to bumper at 90 mph. Every one of you bastards had your high beams on because people just drive around with the damned things turned on _all the time_ now. I was tired and pissed off, and I had a headache. And what should the divine inspiration of the algorithm deliver to me... wedged between Pop Will Eat Itself and Sharon Van Etten... but the live at Madison Square Garden performance of Dance Yrself Clean. It was like the angel, James Murphy had descended from on high to enunciate to me that I was to to conceive and bear the son of god. Anyway... I just wanted to say that I'm immensely gratified to have been recruited into your musical cult that night.
@@leonard8741 " I love drugs, my dads an addict, ur story sucks ass and I’m from Sweden. I don’t take pride in the last one, but i have a feeling that u reaaally do (referring to the states obv)." I had to re-read this sober rambling five times before I could decode what in the hell this point that you claimed to be clarifying even was. I'm still not sure I have... But... I _think_ the implication of your remark is that I was "name-dropping" Philadelphia? Because it's a US city? I'm concerned... that the state of the public imagination has become so debased that a reference to southeastern Pennsylvania could ever be assumed to be self aggrandizement. I typically get on 476 at the Lansdale exit. Across from the Royal Farms. It's a gas station that serves fried chicken. And I'm usually driving to Scranton when I do this. If I need to say more than this to disabuse you of the notion that my home is a point of quasi-nationalist pride for me, then I encourage you to pay us a visit in Philly. I would emphasize, though, that you really need to travel south of Hunting Park Ave to appreciate the glamour of Eastern seaboard urbanism. You'll find all the crack you could possibly want there. Also aids. Superior pizza in Scranton, actually. That Old Forge style! Vince's in Pittston is way more addictive than crack.
@@leonard8741 "I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing for me, cause I listened too it a lot like three or four years ago (I’m 18 so it was my 15 y/o jam) " " I’ve studied music for over 9 years y’all don’t know shit." I see. I gather that your hostility has been cultivated by my casual indifference to the cherished nu-metal of your youth. I'm also nostalgic. I like to tell people that I'm "from the nineties." God, I miss the nineties. I suspect something culturally important has been lost with the passing of that era. Much in the same way that Curt White mourns the death of what he describes as "sixties style thought..." I regret the passage of a certain set of cultural norms indigenous to the 90's. Something hospitable to critical thought. And to the sciences and arts. To experimentation. I know... I mean... I _know_ that I was not the only guy wearing the black turtleneck pullover, sipping his breve in the artisanal coffee house, reading about algebraic topology and Jurgen Habermas. I _saw_ you other beatnik's there! Before the decade of stupid that followed. And the decade of "lingering stupid" that followed that one! I was a big industrial music enthusiast back then. (I still am.) Early Wax Trax and Nothing Records stuff. I once heard someone describe Nitzer Ebb as the gateway drug from Depeche Mode to full on Ministry. That... sounds superficially like a decent abbreviation of my adolescence. And because this was the 90's, one simply did not pursue music in a pop-commercial desert. It was always inextricably bound up with the aspiration to aim artistically higher than what was covered by MTV. Industrial's noise and collage roots led me to John Cage and Japanese Noise music. The work of the concretists was always a prominent current within the industrial community. I recall I found my way to Varese and Stockhausen before I had even heard of Merzbow. And of course, this sort of enthusiasm opens the door to discover 20th century electronically driven, modernist and minimalist composition. So... Tudor to Dockstader... to Reich to Riley... To Zorn... to Gorecki and Kilar... and on and on. This was a vast musical landscape to explore. With a great deal of tectonic provocation. Riley's delay systems. Zorn's game play strategies. Reich's phasing compositions. And one became larger as one explored that landscape. That's what the era was like for many people. And then the hip-hoppian turn came... as brown people discovered that they could commercially enlist slow witted white kids from the suburbs to help them advance their cultural agenda. We saw this happening. We saw the slow witted white kids. 'Fila' kids, we called them. Wow. They sure did love their casual wear. They also really loved mountain dew and something called 'extreme sports.' (I was a gymnast studying Aikido. Guys who wore short pants were telling me about how 'extreme' their sports were. It was embarrassing.) And... OH... Go sing it on the mountain... They loved that Limp Bizkit. Fred Durst was their 15 yo jam. And now... all pop music sounds like the same smooth, three chord progression mush, backed by the same chorus of disorganized, autotuned mumbling. Incidentally, I _think_ this 'dysgenic' influence of hip-hop upon our music is what Adorno was subtly trying to warn us about with his critique of Jazz. It's possible I haven't sufficiently penetrated Adorno. But even if I've misunderstood him, your appeal to 'nostalgia' isn't adequate to ground any kind of criticism of a piece of music. If we want to understand something about what kind of artistic merit music has, then we need some criteria we can use to consistently test it. I'd like to submit that Russian formalism, and in particular the work of Viktor Shklovsky, could be a useful tool for understanding that merit. I'm thinking of Shklovsky's aesthetic theories of 'complexity' and 'difficulty.' While developed for literary analysis, they have proven to be directly applicable to the visual arts, and I think they are just as useful for critically interrogating music. Why is it, Shklovsky would ask, that the merit of a piece of art is often associated with its complexity? Why is it often associated with the level of difficulty with which it was executed? An obvious benefit of this sort of approach is that much contemporary musical analysis already investigates complexity as a critical facet of musical composition. (Probably because it can be meaningfully measured.) This is just a suggestion, of course. I'm always trying to bring people into the fold of formalist analysis. I'm perfectly amenable to considering some alternative strategy for testing artistic merit. It's just that we can't really do much with 'feelings...' "I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing..." " ...it still has a special meaning for me." "...trying so hard to build up to something and be so fucking glorious, but I just don’t feel it." See? This is pretty much the whole substance of your thesis so far. Telling us about your feelings. I'm willing to listen, but your feelings don't have any kind of discriminatory or truth function. They don't furnish us with anything confirmative about the artistic merit of 'System of a Down.' This sort of thing has been a congenital weakness of millennials. And it really distinguished them from their generation x predecessors. Part of it is probably attributable to the way they were socialized. Part of it seems to be unavoidably attributable to real plastic physical changes in the brain. There was a well documented and meaningful drop in IQ from one generation to the next. Whatever the causes, as a global community, the millennial set's entire thinking seems to be done in terms of emotion. And their dominant emotion tends to be dread of what they cannot understand. I am constantly being reassured by the chattering classes that your generation is positioned to reverse this trend. That you are thoughtful in a way that the millennials have (broadly speaking) not been. That you're intellectually curious. Literate. If I were obliged to draw some conclusions about how well equipped your tribe was to "make the call" about the relative artistic merits of James Murphy and Serj Tankian's respective works... and I only had your commentary to go by... how do you think I should judge you? What basis would there be for me to judge you "the best person to make the call?" In case you decide to engage me critically, here are a couple of pieces of pop music that I'd like you to familiarize yourself with before we continue.

Thank you, Spotify playlist “Essential Indie” for exposing me to this song. This song helped me write several grad school essays when I was exhausted haha
This is the version of this song that I listen to every morning with my coffee and smoke lol. And u better believe I'm not sitting down after that bass drop!!

Over the last like 2 days, I have relived the years of LCD Soundsystem and holy shit if only I could be there. This music was such a revolutionary concept for its time and the fact that they aren't as popular now makes me sad. There are so many good songs and artists people will never hear. I hope that 60 years from now people are still rediscovering this song, video, and band for the first time. I look forward to coming back here years down the line.
saw them in Atlanta in like 2010 or 2011, in an old Baptist Tabernacle. Sleigh Bells opened. The house was electric. This song was one of the greatest concert moments in my life...when that beat dropped, the floors bounced and that old church shook. Unbelievable, I still get chills.
The song playing in the background at very beginning is "I'm not in Love" by 10cc

Maybe it is time for us to cut that sh*t of "all they want is the money"... WE ALL WANT MONEY. And touring is the only way many, if not most artists make money for themselves. Selling music only benefits to the companies.
Seriously one of the best drops ever constructed
I love the energy every member puts into this performance
everytime i revisit this performance i get brung to tears. not because im sad im just envious of everyone who got to see this particular performance. i fucking love LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
Can't stop imagining Ernie from the muppet singing the first bit of this
😂
THANK YOU. I've always thought it sounded like a muppet. Kermit especially
Well fuck now I can't either
Ernie from sesame Street you mean?
Kermit would pe perfect

"YEAAAHHHHHH"
some dude is living the moment to its fullest
I was lucky enough to be there that night. It was an otherworldly experience. I moved to the City right after that and would see James Murphy sometimes on the G train. Never had the balls to tell him how much that show meant to me.
I randomly came across this and, holy shit, I am now an LCD Soundsystem fan and will now start listening to their back catalog. This is an amazing song.
It’s impossible not to dance to this song. Truly perfect. Saw them live in Brooklyn this week and they are still one of the best live bands out there.
This is why I'm glad I own decent headphones that music like this deserves
nothing will ever top that i went to NYC for this. every bit of WORTH IT. i laughed i cried and dnced my face off. BEST.
When they got back together in 2016 I was front row for their set at Bonnaroo which I believe was only their third show after Coachella. This was the second to last song. I remember right before The Drop I turned around to face the crowd and when it hit I just saw a sea of people rolling down a field. When he hit the "put your little feet doooown" fireworks went off. I will never, ever forget it.
I'm not really sure who I'm addressing here, since the last comment on this video happened about a year ago, but here I go...
I had never heard LCD Soundsystem in my life until a two hour drive one week ago. If I'm letting spotify play recommendations for me while I'm driving, I'm a captive audience. And usually a disappointed one. Their algorithm insists that, based on my favorite artists, I must really, _really_ be into something called "nu-metal."
I'm not... I'm really, _really_ not.
Really.
But there I was, taking 476 out of Philly on September 20th. Bumper to bumper at 90 mph. Every one of you bastards had your high beams on because people just drive around with the damned things turned on _all the time_ now. I was tired and pissed off, and I had a headache.
And what should the divine inspiration of the algorithm deliver to me... wedged between Pop Will Eat Itself and Sharon Van Etten... but the live at Madison Square Garden performance of Dance Yrself Clean.
It was like the angel, James Murphy had descended from on high to enunciate to me that I was to to conceive and bear the son of god.
Anyway... I just wanted to say that I'm immensely gratified to have been recruited into your musical cult that night.
@Robert Nefzer what would you call your comment?
I hope you're a writer. 💜
@@leonard8741 Hahaaaa what's this guy's deal???
@@leonard8741 " I love drugs, my dads an addict, ur story sucks ass and I’m from Sweden. I don’t take pride in the last one, but i have a feeling that u reaaally do (referring to the states obv)."
I had to re-read this sober rambling five times before I could decode what in the hell this point that you claimed to be clarifying even was. I'm still not sure I have... But... I _think_ the implication of your remark is that I was "name-dropping" Philadelphia? Because it's a US city?
I'm concerned... that the state of the public imagination has become so debased that a reference to southeastern Pennsylvania could ever be assumed to be self aggrandizement.
I typically get on 476 at the Lansdale exit. Across from the Royal Farms. It's a gas station that serves fried chicken. And I'm usually driving to Scranton when I do this. If I need to say more than this to disabuse you of the notion that my home is a point of quasi-nationalist pride for me, then I encourage you to pay us a visit in Philly. I would emphasize, though, that you really need to travel south of Hunting Park Ave to appreciate the glamour of Eastern seaboard urbanism. You'll find all the crack you could possibly want there. Also aids.
Superior pizza in Scranton, actually. That Old Forge style! Vince's in Pittston is way more addictive than crack.

"I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing for me, cause I listened too it a lot like three or four years ago (I’m 18 so it was my 15 y/o jam) "
" I’ve studied music for over 9 years y’all don’t know shit."
I see. I gather that your hostility has been cultivated by my casual indifference to the cherished nu-metal of your youth.
I'm also nostalgic. I like to tell people that I'm "from the nineties." God, I miss the nineties. I suspect something culturally important has been lost with the passing of that era. Much in the same way that Curt White mourns the death of what he describes as "sixties style thought..." I regret the passage of a certain set of cultural norms indigenous to the 90's. Something hospitable to critical thought. And to the sciences and arts. To experimentation. I know... I mean... I _know_ that I was not the only guy wearing the black turtleneck pullover, sipping his breve in the artisanal coffee house, reading about algebraic topology and Jurgen Habermas. I _saw_ you other beatnik's there! Before the decade of stupid that followed. And the decade of "lingering stupid" that followed that one!
I was a big industrial music enthusiast back then. (I still am.) Early Wax Trax and Nothing Records stuff. I once heard someone describe Nitzer Ebb as the gateway drug from Depeche Mode to full on Ministry. That... sounds superficially like a decent abbreviation of my adolescence.
And because this was the 90's, one simply did not pursue music in a pop-commercial desert. It was always inextricably bound up with the aspiration to aim artistically higher than what was covered by MTV. Industrial's noise and collage roots led me to John Cage and Japanese Noise music. The work of the concretists was always a prominent current within the industrial community. I recall I found my way to Varese and Stockhausen before I had even heard of Merzbow. And of course, this sort of enthusiasm opens the door to discover 20th century electronically driven, modernist and minimalist composition. So... Tudor to Dockstader... to Reich to Riley... To Zorn... to Gorecki and Kilar... and on and on.
This was a vast musical landscape to explore. With a great deal of tectonic provocation. Riley's delay systems. Zorn's game play strategies. Reich's phasing compositions. And one became larger as one explored that landscape. That's what the era was like for many people.
And then the hip-hoppian turn came... as brown people discovered that they could commercially enlist slow witted white kids from the suburbs to help them advance their cultural agenda. We saw this happening. We saw the slow witted white kids. 'Fila' kids, we called them. Wow. They sure did love their casual wear. They also really loved mountain dew and something called 'extreme sports.' (I was a gymnast studying Aikido. Guys who wore short pants were telling me about how 'extreme' their sports were. It was embarrassing.) And... OH... Go sing it on the mountain... They loved that Limp Bizkit. Fred Durst was their 15 yo jam.
And now... all pop music sounds like the same smooth, three chord progression mush, backed by the same chorus of disorganized, autotuned mumbling.
Incidentally, I _think_ this 'dysgenic' influence of hip-hop upon our music is what Adorno was subtly trying to warn us about with his critique of Jazz. It's possible I haven't sufficiently penetrated Adorno. But even if I've misunderstood him, your appeal to 'nostalgia' isn't adequate to ground any kind of criticism of a piece of music. If we want to understand something about what kind of artistic merit music has, then we need some criteria we can use to consistently test it. I'd like to submit that Russian formalism, and in particular the work of Viktor Shklovsky, could be a useful tool for understanding that merit. I'm thinking of Shklovsky's aesthetic theories of 'complexity' and 'difficulty.' While developed for literary analysis, they have proven to be directly applicable to the visual arts, and I think they are just as useful for critically interrogating music.
Why is it, Shklovsky would ask, that the merit of a piece of art is often associated with its complexity? Why is it often associated with the level of difficulty with which it was executed? An obvious benefit of this sort of approach is that much contemporary musical analysis already investigates complexity as a critical facet of musical composition. (Probably because it can be meaningfully measured.) This is just a suggestion, of course. I'm always trying to bring people into the fold of formalist analysis. I'm perfectly amenable to considering some alternative strategy for testing artistic merit. It's just that we can't really do much with 'feelings...'
"I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing..."
" ...it still has a special meaning for me."
"...trying so hard to build up to something and be so fucking glorious, but I just don’t feel it."
See? This is pretty much the whole substance of your thesis so far. Telling us about your feelings. I'm willing to listen, but your feelings don't have any kind of discriminatory or truth function. They don't furnish us with anything confirmative about the artistic merit of 'System of a Down.' This sort of thing has been a congenital weakness of millennials. And it really distinguished them from their generation x predecessors. Part of it is probably attributable to the way they were socialized. Part of it seems to be unavoidably attributable to real plastic physical changes in the brain. There was a well documented and meaningful drop in IQ from one generation to the next. Whatever the causes, as a global community, the millennial set's entire thinking seems to be done in terms of emotion. And their dominant emotion tends to be dread of what they cannot understand.
I am constantly being reassured by the chattering classes that your generation is positioned to reverse this trend. That you are thoughtful in a way that the millennials have (broadly speaking) not been. That you're intellectually curious. Literate.
If I were obliged to draw some conclusions about how well equipped your tribe was to "make the call" about the relative artistic merits of James Murphy and Serj Tankian's respective works... and I only had your commentary to go by... how do you think I should judge you? What basis would there be for me to judge you "the best person to make the call?"
In case you decide to engage me critically, here are a couple of pieces of pop music that I'd like you to familiarize yourself with before we continue.

WHAT IS THEIR COMPRESSION SETUP?!?
This is my first introduction to this band, I’m digging it
I'm currently writing my Ph.D. When I'm at the last stretch of it, I'm going to have a bottle of Sailor Jerry's in my hand and tears streaming down my face as I celebrate with this on repeat.
One awesome quality concert vid of an awesome quality song but an awesome quality band. awesome quality.
Awesome. Quality.
quality awesomeness
The energy is on a whole other level. Such an insane performance
Goosebumps
Jeezus!!!! That’s how you open a show!!!
Thank you, Spotify playlist “Essential Indie” for exposing me to this song. This song helped me write several grad school essays when I was exhausted haha
Thanks discover weekly
Love the 10cc song playing at the start.
Heard this song for the first time when I watched Evil Dead Rise and I was hooked
3:26 im with the guy yelling "yEAH!!!!"
Didn't expect this song to explode like it did later on. First time listener, really catchy song!
The first time listing to this song is great because you don't know what's going to happen. The second time is as great because you know what's coming
Don't skip a second of this video
lmao skip all of it
@@lottiebarton6020 i see you in all the replies man calm down
This is one of the most beautiful performances I’ve seen, crying on my commuter train. Thanks for the collective joy!
You'll never hear a most honest shout 3:26
Am responsible for 6304 of those views. The most addictive song I've ever heard. And that voice, christ, insanely sexy...

Love 0:40 right at the very beginning. So beautiful. The excitement from the crowd and band is unreal.

This song has always been one of my faves
Still one of the greatest live performances of all time

They are the talking heads of our generation
Quite literally the best band to see live

Brings me up after a shit night at work. Thanks🌝
crying uncontrollably again at this
How did I miss this until April 2020. Found this on the Coronavirus playlist in Spotify and I am completely drugged.
I've watched this like 30 times today with a big smile on my face, and an occasional gulp to hold back emotion overflow
YEA !! i love this song so much i cry EVERYTIME!! idc, i LOVE THIS SO MUCH ! IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! I LOVE love LOVE OVEEEE ITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over the last like 2 days, I have relived the years of LCD Soundsystem and holy shit if only I could be there. This music was such a revolutionary concept for its time and the fact that they aren't as popular now makes me sad. There are so many good songs and artists people will never hear. I hope that 60 years from now people are still rediscovering this song, video, and band for the first time. I look forward to coming back here years down the line.
For my money this might just be one of the greatest songs ever written; it’s hard to understand how a song can be this god damn powerful. Thank you.
saw them in Atlanta in like 2010 or 2011, in an old Baptist Tabernacle. Sleigh Bells opened. The house was electric. This song was one of the greatest concert moments in my life...when that beat dropped, the floors bounced and that old church shook. Unbelievable, I still get chills.
Incredible best LCD track of all time, just go and throw your little hands up!!
The drop is only equalled by the smile on my face whenever I hear it 😄
