LCD Soundsystem were joined onstage by members of Canadian band Arcade Fire this weekend, as they performed their final ever show at Madison Square Gardens. The epic three-and-a-half hour set spanned the length of their musical career, as the band brought out recent tunes and cult classics for their impressive live swansong.
James Murphy and co. were joined on stage by Win Butler, Will Butler, Regine Chassagne and Jeremy Gara from Arcade Fire, who took to the mics to perform backing vocals on 2007 track ‘North American Scum’.
The lengthy final set from the band included two encores, and featured a rare live rendition of extended track ‘45:33’. The band also performed tracks including 'Losing My Edge', 'Daft Punk Is Playing In My House', ‘Drunk Girls’ and a euphoric rendition of 'New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down' to close their set (and their live careers as an outfit).
The entire set was captured by Pitchfork, and you can view the video below. Fans have already expressed their desire to have the impressive final set released as an official DVD.
