I spent most of tonight watching the LCD Soundsystem farewell show at Madison Square Garden, and it did not disappoint.
Word ’round the campfire is that Spike Jonze was on the scene to direct the filming of the entire spectacle, so keep your eyes open for the impending DVD release. It’s one that’ll be well worth the money.
Below are the handful of tracks I ripped from the capture I took of the show. They’re all really good, but my feed decided to buffer in the middle of ‘North American Scum’, which was one of the best parts because of a highly entertaining guest appearance by members of Arcade Fire! So that’s not here (if anyone has it, I’d be really appreciative!).
(Sorry, this one has a dull patch in the middle I did my best to fix; plugged in my headphones which screwed with the capture feed…)
I hope you enjoy them, even if you missed the show. It was truly an emotional evening, and one I don’t think any participating LCD fan will ever forget it.
EDIT: CoS had the YouTube video of the one piece I really wanted but missed:
Ed. Note (09/03/17): You no longer need to suffer with these crummy bootlegs- the full set can now be purchased:
Exellent Job Sir!
I’m sure we will be hearing a lot more about the concert during today as New York begins to wake up.
thank you for this!!!!! unfortunately i couldn’t attend but i was listening to it on pitchfork. rip lcd soundsystem!!!!
Glad people are enjoying the music!
As for me, I’m still a little shell-shocked that it’s over…
Anybody know if there is an MP3 of the concert available?. I missed pitchfork. It started at 3am my time : (
Lcd …we are missing you already
Yeah I really want an mp3 of this live show… the “SOund of Silver” was anabsolutely incredible 25 minute jam with Shit robot
An mp3 might be a little unwieldy, given that the show was 3 hours, 40 minutes long!
In any case, the whole show is up on YouTube now:

If you wanna rip the audio from that and edit down into nearly 30 tracks, have fun!
here is supposedly the entire show in mp3’s from the soundboard, sounds good to me

Thanks for the heads up, 80am.
I missed ‘I Can Change’ when I watched it live, and they ended up doing a great job with it, from the sound of the track on your link.
