In 2011, LCD Soundsystem said “The Long Goodbye,” playing a career-spanning performance at Madison Square Garden for what was billed as the band’s final show. Five years later, the group returned to New York, playing the much smaller Webster Hall for their first performance since 2011. 

When the news of LCD Soundsystem’s reunion first broke as a rumor, fans scoffed at the reported news. Shortly thereafter, however, James Murphy confirmed the news that the band was planning a reunion tour in 2016. With the LCD Soundsystem name popping up on the top of festival billings like Coachella, Panorama, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, fans have been eager to see just what the newly reformed would bring.

Before hitting the major festivals, the group took the opportunity for a warm up with two nights in New York. Nearly five years to the day of their last show, the band opened up with “Get Innocuous” and never relented for a fantastic performance. The 15-song show featured a number of classics from the band’s repertoire, including “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House,” “Us v. Them,” “New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down,” and an encore of “Dance Yrself Clean” and “All My Friends.”

While the group didn’t bust out any new material, it’s safe to say that fans went home happy after a great night of music! Watch some of the show below (the video turns right-side-up after a few seconds):
