LCD Soundsystem began Brooklyn Steel residency (review, pics, setlist, video)

LCD played most all the favorites -- "I Can Change," "Daft Punk is Playing at My House," "Home," "Dance Yrself Clean," "Someone Great," "Tribulations" -- as well as a few deep cuts. We got "On Repeat," which hadn't been played since 2007, "Thrills," which hadn't been played since 2011, and their cover of Joy Division's "No Love Lost," which ended their main set, which they hadn't done since 2007. The night finished with "New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down" and "All My Friends" which had the ready-to-party crowd going nuts. Things will surely get better from here as kinks are worked out.

A few random notes:

• "I Can Change" started with just a bit of Kraftwerk's "Radio-Activity," a nice little nod to the late Florian Schneider
• In addition to technical difficulties, Murphy forgot a few lines from "Tonite" which caused him to crack up a few times during the song. Nancy Whang found it all amusing, and had a big grin on her face for much of the show
• Amp problems caused them to restart that opening cover of Spacemen 3's "Big City," but you can tell that after a few more shows it's going to be amazing. The song is very much within LCD's wheelhouse and is a great welcome song with lines like "Everybody I know can be found here."
• As an intro for "On Repeat," Murphy joked from the perspective of an audience member, "Oh good, it's that song I don't remember," but it was one of the highlights of the night for me.
• The only song I really wanted them to play that they didn't was "How Do You Sleep" from American Dream which they've only played a few times and Never in New York.
• Tonight's walk-on music was The Walker Brothers' 1978 single "The Electrician," which made for an ominous entrance. A very different vibe than their first Brooklyn Steel show in 2017, which was also the venue's first show, that had them coming out to Ace Frehley's  "Back in the New York Groove.
• Murphy thanked the 100 or so people who were working at the show that night, noting that they had actually planned on doing the this run in 2020 but it just took another year to actual happen.

LCD's Brooklyn Steel run continues tonight. While tickets for the whole 20-show residency sold out basically immediately, the band and Bowery set up a waitlist page and addition tickets for the first two nights went back on sale on Tuesday afternoon. If you're still wanting tickets for one of the shows, the waitlist page is worth checking out periodically.

You can pick up LCD's Sound of Silver and This Is Happening on vinyl, along with the classic DFA Compilation #1, in the BV shop.
