The iconic dance-punk group reunited five years after their ‘long goodbye’ at Madison Square Garden.
New musicis coming too, though none was played on Sunday night.
Not that the absence of fresh material bothered the venues sold-out crowd.

Instead fans threw their heads back and sang all the lyrics to Get Innocuous!
which kicked off the night.
This reunion show is a Big Deal.
LCD Soundsystem returning is a Big Deal.
But instead of waxing poetic about the bands rebirth, Murphy made jokes and minimal banter.
At most, he thanked fans.
Its been really weird for us because weve been practicing against a wall.
(Thats why this is a warm-up show, Whang joked.)
The group proceeded to rip into Dance Yrself Clean before running into an emotional rendition of All My Friends.
The bands aching anthems of youth were back in live form, sounding stellar.
After, he and the band disappeared; there was no second encore to be heard.
Instead, the lights came on and glow sticks littered the floor.
Tear-stained cheeks of front row fans turned towards the exit, excited for a new era of LCD Soundsystem.
