LCD Soundsystem playing "I Can Change" at Music Hall of Williamsburg on 4.9.10

[ldunn2]

Is this how they usually sound live? I fcking loved this song but it sounds HORRIBLE live. Ugh.

[ziggyxfresh]

@ldunn2 this is actually the first time the song was ever performed. no one had even heard the track until he played it this night, so it was also it's debut. up to this point, drunk girls was the only new track anyone had heard. and he was probably drinking

[Mtsolomon]

If you're going to LCD shows to pick apart vocals, you're missing it kid.

[yakkahDotCom]

great video. thank you

[ViralAnarchy]

I find it a bit silly that we're having a discussion on James Murphy's vocal prowess...I mean c'mon, he would be the first to say he's not the greatest singer, neither is J. Mascus or Thurston Moore but it works for this sound. Go back at listen to Nirvana live...Some shows,Kurt just screams cause he's tired of singing his own song, or just to turn the idea of how big their hits became on its ear, but I digress...

James Murphy and LCD Soundsystem kick and the lazy vox suit the irony of the song

[BlixaFleming]

Nancy Whang is hot - love her trousers

[angieforsyth]

He's probably been singing for nights and nights on the trot...I like his voice, it's melancholy and fits the song - I hope they're not splitting up I've not had the chance to see them live....

[jasonspurs]

@angieforsyth bad luck for u then

[tullytaroo]

He could have been drunk. Nothing wrong with that. But after hearing the recorded version, this is a tad disappointing. But they still rock and this is a fantastic track.

[phbrown28]

yeah, i mean his voice isnt perfect, but could you imagine someone like justin timberlake singing for lcd soundsystem? the whole personality of the music is james murphy, and part of that is the voice. its perfect for the music.

[xchez12345]

@phbrown28 lol. There is a difference between style and just singing out of tune. Bob Dylan had an odd style but he sang in tune.

[phbrown28]

@xchez12345 his performance here isnt perfect, but come on, his stuff on the album is amazing and his voice is perfect for the music when he is on pitch. i could find dozens of youtube videos of james murphy singing in key and completely fucking killing it and i can also find hundreds of videos of famous singers singing off pitch. he had one bad performance on one song that he had never even performed live before and people decide hes a bad singer? it just seems silly to me.

[hupbla87]

@phbrown28 not to mention the fact that he uses analog technology to still record music and master it means he doesn't use auto tune, so even listening to the album you know he can actually sing, i bet he is probably drunk here, or maybe nervous, it is a really mature vocal style, especially for murphy

[chookzkinz]

what do you mean? his voice suits the music perfectly

[rockoshmucko]

wonderful.

[blackandwhitemode73]

I actually James' voice. I love this track. Very much looking forward to the Brixton show

[nirvgorilla]

The studio version on the album sounds a lot better. Let's face it, he never was a good singer.

[Zombien20]

Yeah whatever, some might not like em. But I'll have em in my head forever now

[Modrophonic]

whw5, hobocakes & shangalang = clueless.

LCD4LIFE

[godflypaper]

[whw5]

Yea these vocals srsly suck.

[hobocakes]

please tell me this is a work in progress...

[shangalang]

these vocals are just embarrasing

[oupaa]

James is the sexiest man alive
