LOS ANGELES, CA-
“…LCD Soundsystem capped off the first night with a glowing light show and music that turned the crowd into an ebbing and flowing ocean of humanity. The band’s tightrope walk between high-energy dance music and relaxing chill melodies seemed to hypnotize the crowd and turn it into something pan-human—otherworldly even. Looking out from the back of the venue the audience of thousands was unlike anything I had seen in a long while.
A man drummed intently to the music behind me. As I glanced back he said, “Sorry, it’s been a long day.”
“No apologies necessary,” I said. Seeing an engaged love of music in a crowd of happy faces is what life is all about. The music continued on and after playing Dance Yrself Clean, James Murphy said, “I’m sorry, we only have one song left.” The band and the audience so desperately wanted to dance and sing on, but festival rules must be abided by. And so, the excitement hit a happy fever pitch with the song, All My Friends. After a thank you the lights went dark and a tired crowd made their way back home for a few hours of rest before the start of Day 2.”
