LCD Soundsystem - Late Show with David Letterman

[NevimJakyMamDatNick]

wtf??!! 1:21 ...great sound! :D

[austinthebookworm5]

WOohyeaaah

[gm9media]

More COW BELL. Awesome.

[theadverbs]

@2:36 I'm glad Ron Jeremy likes it.

[davidkno7990]

30 assholes don't like Daft Punk playing at the singers house

[jfrizzlle]

good lord what a good vocalist, so lively

[dissaid]

This is a great band! Great music!

[go2yanks]

It sounds different because James Murphy plays almost all, if not all, of the instruments on the studio version/music video. This version has a live band, as a result, each player puts their own flair on the tune so it comes out sounding quite different than the original version.

[brahlou]

why is this version different than the one in the music video, is this the way they wanted it to be?



[rippersk8er]

2 Basses: awesome!

[itsalittleturtle22]

Agreed smashley skinny jeans 4 men should be banned. I take it thats wat hipsters wear I was just asking wat exactly a hipster is cuz there are so many different groups of losers out there these days but now I know it's all those terds who wear skinny jeans and low cut penny loafer looking denim shoes ha wat a group of boners

[coreyinprogress]

thats hilarious!



[HawK047]

I still cant believe they quit. X_x 

[smashley233]

goes to show that you don't have to dress like a hipster dickhead with skinny skinny jeans and a button up shirt and shit hair to be the COOLEST GUY IN THE WORLD

[ADirtDiggler]

Wheres Christopher Walken when you need him? MORE COWBELL!!

[warriorbasketball23]

1:44 COWBELL SOLO!!!!!!!



[SlapHappyJesus]

One of the only bands that are actually better playing live. Great band, no questions.

[strikeforceteen]

@SlapHappyJesus I agree, they are pretty good live. My personal favorite band live is Iron Maiden. Not quite same genre but still amazing live.

[iwazused]

those are actually agogo bells

[frankied00m]

More cowbell!

[tishytishy123]

too good!!

LOVE this too at the mo

/watch?v=7CgGuiYty-U

[demisn]

Their live CD is simply outstanding, far better than studio, believe it or not! Very impressive!!!

[junk2shige]

LCDEVO!

[jiffypopgirl]

Checked out the studio version, live is so much more...A-live! no comparison LCD Slams it live!!!

[Flynnsox]

I can't remember the Letterman band clapping along like that. that's pretty cool.

[339luke]

This is awful! They're like a bad teeny-bopper version of the Talking Heads.

[TokinBloke]

@339luke you bite your tongue you musically un-educated poor excuse of a youtube commenter.

[adamgergich96]

@339luke lcd soundsystem > talking heads.

[jiffypopgirl]

@adamgergich96 - No way- I keep thinking the same thing everytime it's on the radio & then I catch myself...thought it was just me! Ha!

[vikingjarl]

@339luke Never thought about it. After I've listened to this...thing... I completely agree.

[deadline27]

wow dueling et-270's!

[fede018]

this needs a guitar. It sounds kind of... empty

[blocker444]

LCD Sound System can beat pants.

[bigalbantam]

Nvm i was wrong

[level22productions]

I can't believe LCD Soundsystem will be no more after 2011 :/

[fapgtrplyr]

@level22productions i can't believe the world will be no more after 2012 :/

[bigalbantam]

Actually ones a guitar

[IMGUNNAFUNKYOU]

Two bassist? Interesting!

[omardipset]

this sounds better live. faster and more funkier

[hollowreaper13]

i only kept watching this video cuz of the cute asian chick on keyboard, otherwise this garbage completely disgraces the name of Daft Punk.

[hollowreaper13]

[phwbt]

I didn't know Dr. House played the drums.

[lbetweenthebars]

@phwbt hahaha!!! this made my day

[130691jb]

his facial expressions are unbelievable

[Williama15k]

its like a daft punk/talking heads fusion!

[JelitoBoba]

I NEED BASS!!!

[snipeyouout]

i love this song but not gonna lie this live performance was terrible

[TheDallyLama]

@snipeyouout yeah :/

ima stick with the album version lol

[TheSamcoffey]

that was terrible i love daft punk

[melbal2]

@TheSamcoffey and daft punk probably love this song

[jaydnisevil]

This version does not do the song justice...

[RichardBLongly]

Is he singing into a guitar amp microphone?  B\

[grasping4the]

Besides Dane Cook looking so overweight, his band is really funky.

[truvelocity]

Good read on T.V.  Some bands don't translate on T.V.

[Smoniquet40]

They rocked the hell outta this in Austin Tx!! ROCK ON YA"LL!!!!

[unabonger777]

are they trying to be talking heads

[Tedza0]

1:45 cowbell solo

[JPizz13]

@Tedza0 Those aren't actually cowbells, they're agogo bells...

[grommitbean]

cowbell funk with the foot

[wwicks]

More cowbell!

[buddhablu]

@kyuss shut up, they're one of the best live bands I've ever seen and I've seen hundreds of bands live. Their whole sound is lo-fi, repetitive and slightly sloppy. The exact opposite of the other crap they try to shove down our throats on the radio.

[rogatsby]

Amazing live performance

[masterexploder83]

Awesome!

[jomamascrazy]

@kyuss they were actually the best band i've ever seen...

[NewarkWilder1]

Daft punk needs to do a cover titled "LCD Soundsystem is playing at my house"

[DrGrease55]

B-52's!

[TheTwinsVids]

wow, they have two bassists! that is so beast

[snowboardman720]

@heyitsaustin93

no one does. thats why hes awesome! 

[mwcafac91]

YOU CAN'T BEAT PANTS XD

[ox092]

are those two basses?

[Afgasd]

@ox092 Yeah :) They pack a punch live, they are great

[daysleeper236]

Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra clapping along = AWESOME.

[PapaFly]

I love at 2:22 the bass player behind is like........yeah we are so good....oh yeah....we are..

[ThatRascal]

Freaky in a David Byrne, or even David Bowie kinda way. Love it. Love This Is Happening from start to finish. 

[Posterharpua]

does anyone else think that the live version of this song is better than the studio versoin? so much funkier!

love this fucking band!

[timbosauer]

@Posterharpua dude absolutely! live version > studio version. saw lcd live a couple of weeks ago. freakin' unreal!

[guillaumelebreton]

@Posterharpua

Yeah! It's nearly a special performance!

I discover the real great talent of James Murphy singing !

[ovinostio]

I like his hair.

[theoctobersuprise]

Unfingbelievable

[OneMeanMofo]

this is better than the album version

[LDNish]

@OneMeanMofo So true..

[Bongtitis]

It's amazing how his vocal has evolved through the years... Gotta love LCD Soundsystem.

[plonkerfest]

I want LCD soundsystem to play at my house!

[sixplus6]

man this is way better live than the studio version...electric dynamite goddanmit!

[GormBerserker]

At the beginning it kinda looks like the bassist hits himself in the face with the sticks.

[parjelly]

reminds me of the talking heads

[llaauwreenc]

I want to ask if it is him changing his voice of there is something special about his mic.

[MrBrianojee]

very talking heads.... hermetically sealed spasm pop!

[EpicDesires69]

sick song

[poysian67]

many thanks, been waiting for this for ages.

[NightRush]

@poysian67 its been uploaded for some time now

[poysian67]

@NightRush yes, i saw it for the 1st time 3 years ago and liked the song. but i forgot the name of the band. it was uploaded again by dreamingsleeping and that's how i rediscovered it. i should have commented on dreamings... vid and not yours. mix up on my part. but many thanks anyway for bringing these songs to yt.

[alanmcquillan]

/when your best friend is a band

[JordoBaggins27]

[mootyn]

[juanitoypepito]

[crieswhicharewings]

[ForAhoneyBeh]

[JoJoheyside]

[coquitaqueilumina]

[thefilmmasters]

who cares...

[KhyberBoy09]

you've got to set them up

[jotaradiohead]

buenisimo

[KhyberBoy09]

This is quite a genius song actually .  I know it from the game fifa 06 .

[Nkerklaan]

That was definitely one of the better talkshow live performances I've seen. Good stuff.

[fatmikeshishero]

1:20 how does he do that with his voice! thats unbelievable control!

[HotChocolatte1]

Is there some Rusted Root in this or what.

[KhyberBoy09]

what in mary magdalene's name is rusted root

[Skullrik]

Interesting fusion of the B-52's, and Talking Heads. I suppose, this sort of band was bound to happen. Might as well.

[charles118xx]

Excellent!

[zzzonezz]

these guys nailed this live this sounds killer.

[TheSinik]

Whilst we're talking songs that sound similar...

Devo - That's good

3 great songs, 3 great bands all pioneering in their own way. Love it.

[quicquam]

it's more TNT ; ) fun anyway - luv it!

[markieobk]

@ Kegle68 I don't think it's a copy. It almost sounds the same but it isn't. These days there are lots of songs that sound the same but i don't think this is a copy

Grts

[666Boognish666]

needs more cowbell

[QuokkaTribe]

@666Boognish666 Not to be an ass, but they're agogo bells.

[TheLiamDude]

amazing!!!!

[luislondon]

James Murphy is cool sexy and talented

[MrBergKatse]

MORE COWBELL!!

[heixxx]

Amazing solo! <3

[BBLIZZAGA]

James Murphy is so damn cool. He reminds me alot of David Byrne here.

[flanders062]

i was thinking the exact same thing

[dvader17]

love this bad !!

[Damnedsoul53]

<33

[buyj3llo]

why would they need permission?

[pureloveracing]

Wow, he's channeling David Thomas !

[analog67]

live version so good, very talking heads !

[jabutiwr]

that's right! Talking heads!!!

[OnceElegantlyBound]

i love the live version so much more!

[sum1butno1]

I love the Soulwax version even more

[MarcelaLSD]

LOL

:)

[formenso682]

i dont get this song

[chrislarson15]

Looks up the band "Daft Punk"

[Palominoid]

Best cowbell ever.

[Loser85]

Fuck yeah

[cmj2099]

In the top10 lines in a song ever - - "all the furniture is in the garage" !

[stuartgura]

That was sweet. I wish they'd done North American Scum

[VegetasRage]

the crowd is like" who are these guys?"

[kentmorita]

They aren't that good in live... but I still love them!

[mylegwarm]

He's amazing on the high parts but he fails epiclly on the rest of it to be fair :/

COW BELL SOLO!

[moemoemoe134]

Needs more cowbell

[classof77]

OK, this is more awkward than the album cut, but it also develops some actual momentum toward the end.

In comparison, the album version seems cool at first, but it never really gets anywhere.

[chrismorgan93]

i expected them to be so much better than they actually are.

[tonymontanatm23]

the cow bell is awesome! :)

[bemjamin]

eh. this kinda sucks.

[Lildrummerboy50]

its true there not as good as the talking heads but u can tell there influenced by them alot

[WoopaTV]

I think it's so cool that Paul Schaffer and the rest of his band is standing there clapping :D

[violatorut2003]

That must mean LCD is very good

[LUCASgProductions]

aww shit i rated your comment up

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

would the cowbell still sound as cool if nothing else was playing?

[dsilver010010]

a gogo

[NOartBYdemocracy]

Wow, they've completely lost all that was great in the original recording. Some bands just can't hack it live. And they have no stage presence, it's almost like watching really akward sex on stage.

[headsosikk]

amen.

[mrcrunkle]

and you know a lot about really awkward sex?

[NOartBYdemocracy]

It's called a metaphor, if you haven't heard of them, your should really check them out. They come in handy a lot.

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

It's amazing that they can pull it off at all live, And if you actually went to a gig I think you'd be impressed at how good a band like this can sound live. Their records are very tightly produced with loads of electronics and editing, so you have to accept that it's going to sound different live. Surely that's the whole point of a live band. All the best bands don't actually sound like the record most of the time, and that's what makes them (and live music) great!

[OmEn85uk]

you're right ir doesnt carry something from the recording, however, this is still fantastic!

[Dragonsushi]

This is a lot better than the studio version.

[dsilver010010]

i think the tempo is a little slower

[flensoest]

This wasnt very good

[mrbunghole]

Something doesn't carry over from the recording of this song to a live performance. It sounds way less like a dance song and more like really stale funk.

[drstuartschneider]

I fink the exact opposite

[twistonme]

I think that you don't know how to spell.
