So I'm a little late on blogging this...but for posterity purposes, I must get this down.
James Murphy presents....James Murphy. The ingenious, quasi-vain, mastermind behind LCD Soundsystem would have to try really hard to NOT put on a good show. Granted, it was the last show on the leg of the tour so some signs of exhaustion would seep in here and there. Everything still sounded solid at Webster, which has decent acoustics and is ideal for emcopassing the sounds of dance-beat-indie-rock of LCD. It was also the guitarist's last show so that added some treasure, if you will. There were a bunch of bobble-heads around me -frats boys behind and yuppie record label lads in front. None of whom probably knew LCD S. back when he was releasing his tracks soley via Vinyl...ah, those were the days -especially at Insound when he would release one and we'd get a butt-load of orders, drowning in an office of label-less vinyl. But James has stayed true to himself through all this Capitol Records and commercial stuff so his succes is just by fine with me. As he said in DIW, if you think he's made you look stupid for likeing him, well...he's not here to make you look smart.
The opener, Yacht, bless his heart, was horrible.
