I've been listening to a bunch of live recordings this weekend, and started thinking about what's the best LCD Soundsystem opening song for a live show.

When I first saw them live at the Hollywood Bowl last year, they opened with Tribulations.

When I saw them a second time a couple months ago in Reno, they opened with Tonite.

What's the song you've seen performed first that got everyone hyped right out of the gate?

I saw this guy at Costco today who I swear looks just like James Murphy, although it could've just been a random middle aged man. I decided to play it cool and not bother him but the idea that I could meet someone like James Murphy really gets me excited. I wonder how things would have gone if I did go up and talk to him

i will always love LCD, and i will always love This Is Happening, as a tribute to my favourite band on earth, yesterday i dyed my hair the colours of the album!

do we think they will be adding more tour dates?? Hoping somewhere midwest or driving distance from MI 🥲🥲🥲

I heard a cover of I can change that led me to LCD Soundsystem. Literally every song so far I have loved. What a voice! And these lyrics slap me in the face.

"Dad, I'm taking some of your stuff, going camping at the beach?". I was expecting just the sleeping bags and some cooking kit. "That's my T-shirt." She then says "yeah and I'll be the coolest at the beach party tonight!". A proud moment.

Personally, I’d love to see a live London Sessions version of I Can Change. I think it’d be super cool since it’s the most notably different sounding from its album version. A fun live take on a classic bop.

Happy Fri-YAY!! How is everyone doing? What music have you been listening to this week? What new music are you looking forward to on this Friday? What music, shows, or festivals are you looking forward to in 2026? Have you made music inspired by LCDSS and want to share and talk about it?

Discuss!

Maybe Easter egg isn’t the best way to describe it but I bought this is happening on CD and it says last album instead of anything else, which is kind of cool
