According to brooklynvegan.com, December 10 was the last show of LCD Soundsystem‘s Tri-Boro Tour, where the band performed 12 shows at three different New York City venues. The tour ended at Queens’s Knockdown Center and during the performance of “New York, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down,” LCD Soundsystem paid tribute to the late Shane MacGowan,who died on November 30. The band covered The Pogues’s holiday classic “Fairytale of New York” where drummer Pat Mahoney sang the tune along with Nancy Whang on piano before crashing back into the noisy ending of “New York, I Love You.”
To help capture the magical moment, an audience member went on social media to post a video of the performance with the captions: “Danced Myself Clean again last night! Best LCD show yet!”
The Knockdown Center shows were different from the Brooklyn Steel’s and Terminal 5’s shows on the Tri-Boro Tour because LCD Soundsystem had the opening act Nation of Language encouraging everyone to stick around for the afterparty with DJs in two rooms and James Murphy’s restaurant Four Horsemen hosting a natural wine pop-up.
The other songs LCD Soundsystem performed at their concerts was “Us v Them,” “Home,” “Someone Great” and “Tonite” before ending things with “All My Friends.”
