We attended LCD Soundsystem’s final show on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. It was an incredible celebration of a musical career that played as the soundtrack for our young adulthood. The 3+ hour show included material from their entire career, guest appearances by Arcade Fire, Reggie watts, and Al Doyle from Hot Chip and some tributes to the artists that helped shape LCD. It was a truly magical experience that we won’t forget anytime soon. Almost everyone followed James Murphy’s request to come in Black & White and danced, sang and some even cried the night away. The highlight of the evening was the emotional and heartfelt “New York I Love You”. The concert delved the audience into a range of passionate emotions and ended their career on on the highest of highs.

What a day! Our sincerest thanks go out to everyone who joined us at the sweetlife festival in Dupont Circle on Saturday! Despite the cloudy skies, the rain held off and the crowd grew steadily throughout the afternoon and evening. Over 750 people stopped by to enjoy the energetic atmosphere. With the success of this first festival under our belts, we’re already dreaming big for next year. Until then, stay tuned for additional coverage and keep living the sweetlife!
