Brixton Academy, 23rd April 2010 - I managed to take a million of absolutely awful photos with my famous camera phone. Firstly, because at the beginning of the gig I was not sure what to do with myself, following a not so great YACHT, there came LCD Soundsystem and I was not quite sure whether to party away or just watch the show unravel. Secondly, because I firmly and perhaps naively believe one day I will take really good photos, considering that I am in the first row and have an eye for detail. Thirdly, I was eagerly anticipating the not so inconspicuous balloons. Little did I know that the balloons would fall at the very end of the gig. That was not the only suspense as the gig was built around a momentum of a total rave to bring the audience to a quiet end of a ballad to New York, sweet.
James Murphy is a talented musician, with a great voice that can go a long way up high. He is also supervising but also most appreciative of his band and he loves and individualises the cheering crowd, at least the front row. They never get used to the praise - this is not what you hear every day. The keyboard did not work during the first show so they pretended to start the gig again and played the song in full, with keyboard.
I like to think that if I was famous one and had gigs in front of huge crowds, I would be happy and never ask people to buy my records. Unless my boss told me to, that is.
