SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS Trailer

http://www.shutupandplaythehits.com/

On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event "a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again." SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace

Louis CK rips in the drums

The film could just be James Murphy walking his dog for 2 hours and I bet it'd still be fucking brilliant.

[Guimmik]

Nancy, I love you

[TheAshesAreFalling]

@bennyfereni Well that was a bad idea... how do you plan to ever enjoy another concert when your first one was the absolute best? Your standards will be FAR too high... might as well start buying tickets for the Arcade Fire tour... about the closest you'll get

[PanAutobus166]

Never had an opportuinty to see them live. I guess the movie is the only, that it's left. :/

I cried at MSG when the show ended and I cried during this trailer.

biggup James, Chuck Klosterman, Al from Hot Chip, Win & Regine (power couple), Reggie Watts, Aziz Ansari crowdsurfing (not pictured), all the crazy pandas & especially James' french bulldog.

me, I have a boston terrier named Murphy... After the Dropkick Murphys but after that night we've transferred the honor to James.

@stevenbass1000 to be fair even James got a little choked up onstage. as I did just watching this.

"I was there..."

@echosmyron625 i'm so jealous man, had the opportunity to catch them twice in september and october last year while they were touring the uk and i passed it up both times. i'm almost ashamed!

[echosmyron625]

I spent 12 hours in line for this show. Worth every second.
