In many ways that is actually true. One particular way is like it hits you both in the guts and in the head: it's visceral so you can't avoid going crazy for the sound but it also has a pretty good musical structure and the lyrics are just... well you know the lyrics, so I have no need to waste my time trying to find a proper adjetive.
5:16 "To tell the truth, this will be the last time" and the audience realized that was meant to be their last performance so they started cheering. Beautiful.
I just noticed that adlib. In Sound of Silver he sings this _could_ be the last time. The subtitles are all messed up by the way... Is this from the DVD? One question: am I *the only person* who thinks that the line "when you're drunk and the kids look impossibly tanned, you think over, and over 'hey, I'm finally dead'" doesn't mean what people usually think they do? To me, "the kids" are the lyrical persona's children and they _shouldn't_ be that tanned unless something fishy was going on... and then the persona thinks "well that does it. Nothing else to live for" Oh, and I imagine the kids are visiting, it's summer and there's a barbecue by the pool and the persona (who's the _dad)_ is not even in charge of the grill, one of _his_ kids is, he's on a chair drinking and watching it from a 3rd person POV. I think the line, when interpreted my way, gets quite lispectoresque and the song goes one or two levels deeper.
Everyone there knew this was their "last performance" when they bought their tickets for this specific show. Some people flew across the country and across the world to be at this concert. They thought it would be the last LCD Soundsystem concert ever. This is why, when they announced their return a few years later, some of their fans were genuinely pissed, lol.
"So, then, in celebration of paradoxes. “All My Friends” is happy and it’s sad. It’s naïve, but also disillusioned. It can make you feel twenty again. It makes you feel forty before your time. It makes you feel twenty and forty at once. It spirals into drug-fueled escapism, and it spirals into nostalgia. It’s mature. It’s the sound of sobering up. It’s the song you play as the party peaks. It’s the song you put on headphones when you walk home in the early hours of the morning, and some nights you triumphantly reminisce about all the experiences of your life, but maybe the edges are haunted and just as you step up to your front door and Murphy’s last refrain echoes “If I could see all my friends tonight” you also know you’re searching, too, that you feel all the dejection and isolation that’ve been as much a part of these last thirteen years as a new online version of community, or as much as anything else. It’s a song about 1987 and 1997 and 2007 and probably 2017. Even weighed down by all of this, it still moves. And because we have no other option, because this is our new millennium life: We still move, too." - Stereogum - Ryan Leas - 2013
There’s nothing sadder than watching this in lockdown. Thousands of people living in the moment, dancing like they’ll never dance again. What I’d give to see all my friends again.
8 months since this comment and we're still here. Probably will be alot longer because people are scared of a 1% chance of contracting a disease with a 1% fatality rate. As long as we stay at this new level of soft concerts like this will never come back
@Brad Friday you said it best, brother. that kid embodied everything this song is about: youth, growth, loss, nostalgia. all of that in one brief shot.
'You spend the first five years just as fast as you can, and next five years trying to be with your friends again.' such a completly true and bittersweet lyric, one of my favourites
i can't imagine a more perfect song to play at a wedding! Especially as the last song. I'd be dancing my heart out with happy tears in my eyes. And i would see all my friends that night....
well, it's ACTUALLY the way we measure our age. Like, what the fuck, our age is measured according on how many times we circle the sun, a star. it's crazy and beautiful at the same time.
@@SianWinstanley Set Control For the Heart of the Sun is not one of the most popular Pink Floyd songs, its not Comfortably Numb or Time or Another Brick. The way I interpret this line is that by choosing to reference this particular song, James Murphy (and his friends) are showing not just their age, but their music taste as well. They have always been a group of outcasts and misfits, I mean what group of friends would choose to jam out to Set Control.. at a reunion party unless they were a bunch of music nerds who have been interested in deep cuts and lesser known works of artists.
@@lalfakzualahnamte2021 Sure, You can interpret it that way, that's the beauty of art. Let's agree to disagree. But knowing the depth of music that Murphy references I'll have to say that he didn't just only listen to the top hits of Pink Floyd.
I highly HIGHLY suggest anyone that likes this band and many of their songs to grab the Blu-Ray of this concert, Shut Up and Play The Hits. It has the ENTIRE show, 3 and half plus hours, of pure greatness. Very honored to hear that they are coming back and I will not miss this opportunity to see one of the best bands of this generation PERIOD
I had this song (this exact version of it) playing at my wedding while jumping, dancing and singing with my friends. There isn't a better suited song for wedding playlist.
Nails the ennui of getting older and growing apart from people. But also the peace that comes with age. It really hits to the dichotomy of the the stage of life I'm in. 30's, going in different directions from old friends, etc. Also, "I wouldn't trade one stupid decision for another five years of life." is one of my favorite lyrics ever.
Hearing this at 19: i love my friends, lets keep drinking, i am unstoppable Hearing it at 26: where did my friends go, where did the time go, youth is fleeting, i am vulnerable Finally seeing these guys next month and i am not ready for the tears
The blonde dude in glasses at 1:55 that is like 25% of how crazy I will be acting if I'm ever at one of their concerts. Heck, I already go like that all over the house when there's nobody home and I can stick a USB drive to the living room's Bose system and crank it all the way up.
I watch this “farewell” film once a year. Was just watching LCD at Glastonbury from a few days ago. James hasn’t aged at all, except to be an even more seasoned, alive artist. So pleased to see it.
I'm about to take the MCAT in two hours. Nothing, not a text from my mom, meditation, or silence has calmed my nerves like this song has. Thank you James Murphy for your timeless music.
I was there. A night I'll remember forever. Every 10 minutes or so I did what the guy at 1:21 did - just looked around the arena to try to take it all in.
I think that it could've been a great song to end on. But I also feel like if the crowd knows it's gonna be the last time, then theyll enjoy every moment before the end. And I agree with the other commenter. New York I Love You is the better song to end with. All Your Friends is like the perfect starter because it's so energetic and so full of emotion that the crowd is just gonna be so hyped for the rest of the concert.
o-my-god- you R Right- eye M hooked on this...(eye M joined with music & have Lived Lyrics...& instruments' repetition is driving legs to move & meditating brain...} experiencing Live surrounded by this sound & movement would....create a "Mega- state'... am viewing "still life" listening to this, creates a visual/auditory experience which supercedes ....all prior experiences... where are your friends tonight...
it was primarily a nyc/LA thing.....LCD was the critic's darling. I just happened find them through an old LA girlfriend and 'jump into the fire' via 'Goodfellas' :-)
I’ve been to a decent amount of shows in my life but just saw these guys in Seattle last week and it rocked my world. Best show I’ve ever been to and this song will be engrained in my memory.
soooooo intense!!! I discovered the band live a few months ago, I only knew their hit songs from clubs and so and OMG, I couldn´t believe it. I turned to a friend who was dancing right next to me and told him something like "this is DA BOMB!!! I didn´t think it would be this emotional of a show!!!" and he told me "dude!! That´s waht this guy is all about: let´s dance our insecurities out!" goosebumps all the time
This song always puts me in a deep state of happiness, homesick, sadness and joy at the same time, a very overwhelming feeling and it never fails, it happens every time i listen to it. Since first time i heard it, i always play it in new year's eve so it gives me a good start feeling and that everything would get better.
One of my all time favourites. And I am old enough to remember 'setting my controls for the heart of the sun' way back when. One of the ways I am showing my age.
This song summed up, without even trying, my first 10 years as a callow self-centered ambitious “artist” in Los Angeles. I didn’t even hear it until I’d left. Genius.
+Ryan Flood Right, I love how the camera pans lower to get him in the shot. The camera man was like, "Oh shit, we're going to want to have this guy on the final cut".
Discovered lcd on SNL. The two songs they did there were great but this song "All My Friends" is truly wonderful. It's self-realization that hits home hard. Very well shot video of a live band that picks up the intense energy that they protray that propels itself into the audience. I agree with Christian Schmitz.
Best comments on a music video I've ever read. Well done people! Btw this is the first time I've heard a song, vaguely remember hearing the band name at some point long ago... The kind of music that probably creeps up on you without knowing it and suddenly you can't live without it, as opposed to a catchy tune you instantly think yeah awesome love it... The ones that gets worse every time you hear em you know? This kind of music, unique if nothing else, thank God for for music like this even if i never hear another song from these guys. They've got my respect though I'll tell you that.
is it just me? this reminds me so much of new order. even the bass player tries to look like peter hook. ;) however, this is the best live video i've ever seen in my life.
They closed their set at Forecastle in Louisville on 7/15 with this incredible song. The whole place was just jumping and dancing and on fire! Terrific band to see live. The crowd was so good that they came out and did an encore ... at a festival.
Lost track of my friends that evening. Picked a spot and talked with some folks down from Chicago and then danced like mad. Especially during this song.
i still think the best part is when the camera pans to the crowd no ones taking videos on their phones. the fans that lcd had says so much about the band
Theres a full or fool tape of tape of this concert from a smartphone on youtube. This dude recorded the whole show and i have give anything to be in this epic performance
Put on the Pluto streaming channel last night, tuned to Documentaries, there was this one playing called "Shut up and Play the Hits'. Hmmm, what's that? I tried it out. Never heard of LCD Soundsystem before. I stumbled right into this exact song and video moment playing. I was drawn in and watched it all the way, and have listened to this song live and original many, many times since last night. That's how it starts. Sometimes the truth finds you. I feel lucky.
Live version of this masterpiece , is a different animal. Crowd is as much a part of it as melody ,lyrics and instrumentals. TURN IT UP, ALL THE WAY!!!! GET LOST IN PURE POWER!!!!.
Look at that crowd.... Would have loved to have been in there, I would've gone very light-headed at the end belting out the final verse! Haha Amazing song, brilliant that this has been captured on video. Just brilliant.
That's how it starts We go back to your house You check the charts And start to figure it out And if it's crowded, all the better Because we know we're gonna be up late But if you're worried about the weather Then you picked the wrong place to stay That's how it starts And so it starts You switch the engine on We set controls for the heart of the sun One of the ways we show our age And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up And I still don't wanna stagger home Then it's the memory of our betters That are keeping us on our feet You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan And the next five years trying to be with your friends again Oh, you're talking forty-five turns just as fast as you can Yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend It comes apart The way it does in bad films Except in parts When the moral kicks in Though when we're running out of the drugs And the conversation's winding away I wouldn't trade one stupid decision For another five years of life Oh, you drop the first ten years just as fast as you can And the next ten people who are trying to be polite When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight? And to tell the truth Oh, this could be the last time So here we go Like a sales force into the night And if I made a fool, if I made a fool If I made a fool on the road, there's always this And if I'm sewn into submission I can still come home to this And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand You can sleep on the plane or review what you said When you're drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks You think over and over, "hey, I'm finally dead" Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand You look contorted on yourself your ridiculous prop You forgot what you meant when you read what you said And you always knew you were tired, but then Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? If I could see all my friends tonight If I could see all my friends tonight If I could see all my friends tonight If I could see all my friends tonight
one of my all time favorites. it feels like all the fuzzy emotions of being dumb and careless in high school/college. type of song that makes you feel young

Whoever played that piano needs a raise! That requires astonishing stamina.
Are you old enough to remember "THE SPARKS!".. weird bloke with tach had the same skill.. it sounds easy..but just try tapping along.. fkn hard man... top tune though in it... song by james..sometimes same buut guitar.. track basically built on 2 chourds...simple things in life
This band, this song, this show ... "I was there" in the pit right in front of James, we tried to hold the rail but lost it during Movement and wound up a few people back. 11 years later, LCD is back ... but watching this again still gives me feels. Later during Yeah, Aziz crowdsurfed (my buddy gave him the boost). I was sore for days after dancing for 3 hours to this.
I’m in Vermont. At my cabin; my (most) wonderful girl is sleeping up stairs. She partied a bit too hard, it’s a nap of sorts. I have listened to LCD for 20yrs. This song just hit me so hard ..harder than the rain outside. Whoa. I’m a bit teary. See all you guys in Boston.
You missed the best part of the video with the subtitles. When Murphy sings the "To tell the truth/This could be the last time" after the bridge at around 5:20, he replaces the line with "This *will* be the last time" because well, it's the last concert. That's the reason why the audience starts cheering after that.
I literally think this is the best song ever made
Played on a top of the line sound system!...you're dead bloody right!!
In many ways that is actually true. One particular way is like it hits you both in the guts and in the head: it's visceral so you can't avoid going crazy for the sound but it also has a pretty good musical structure and the lyrics are just... well you know the lyrics, so I have no need to waste my time trying to find a proper adjetive.
Because it is.
Yea, and it if isn't.. its ok too.... :D
Ok Ted
Literally every single person in that crowd is having a life-altering experience during that final chorus
I feel like it goes from happy to sad the longer they sing it.
the first time i heard this song i deadass cried, i don't even know what this shit would do to me live, especially on their (supposed) last concert.
Had that same feeling in Glasgow when they played it my favourite LCD tune by a country mile ✌️
Amen brother
Correct, we did
something about this song always chokes me up. it’s so reckless and energetic, like a happy memory, but deeply sad at the same time. i love it so much
You've captured it precisely. x
But if you're worried about the weather u have picked the wrong place too stay 👌👍🏴✌️
It's the story off my life
"Reckless energetic" is a song or book of potery or album or new rescued kitty cat title
@@bcalle011 haaaa that's great a homeless cat 🙀
Im quickly becoming obsessed with this song.
I think it might be the best song ever made
it is
Oh, you read me friggin mind! I am happy to be alive again after finding this.
It is....
@@StevenGardner-qw4yb That's exactly what this song does to me!
6:45 hands down one of the greatest camera pans of all time.
I love how the pan speeds up so it lands on the crowd when he sings, " If I coulds see all my friends tonight..."
@@goober8798 I came to the comment section to find this !!!
absolute cinema
5:16 "To tell the truth, this will be the last time" and the audience realized that was meant to be their last performance so they started cheering. Beautiful.
Playing their hearts out. No wonder they're so on point, so passionate. It's the peak of their perfection.
They came back tho didn’t they
I just noticed that adlib. In Sound of Silver he sings this _could_ be the last time. The subtitles are all messed up by the way... Is this from the DVD? One question: am I *the only person* who thinks that the line "when you're drunk and the kids look impossibly tanned, you think over, and over 'hey, I'm finally dead'" doesn't mean what people usually think they do?

Nothing else to live for" Oh, and I imagine the kids are visiting, it's summer and there's a barbecue by the pool and the persona (who's the _dad)_ is not even in charge of the grill, one of _his_ kids is, he's on a chair drinking and watching it from a 3rd person POV. I think the line, when interpreted my way, gets quite lispectoresque and the song goes one or two levels deeper.

When he sings “to tell the truth, this could be the last time” and the crowd lose their minds. Chills every time.
He doesn’t sing “could be”; instead he sings “will be the last time” and that’s why the crowd lose their minds.
" I wouldnt trade one supid decision for another five years of life" thats the line that gets me every time
'You spend the first five years just as fast as you can, and next five years trying to be with your friends again.' such a completly true and bittersweet lyric, one of my favourites
I remember going to a wedding and the bride whispered in my ear “this is the final song of the night”. It was as glorious as you can imagine.
It was the last song at mine last year. Just great.

I think I have been watching this videos for more than 100 times throughout the years
I think I've watched this video 100 times in the last 3 days!
Hearing this at 19: i love my friends, lets keep drinking, i am unstoppable

Finally seeing these guys next month and i am not ready for the tears
The guy in the cap singing the lyrics from 6:54 ... the emotion on his face goddam
Right???
The fact that he thought this was their last show probably had a lot to do with that. I probably would’ve been crying
That's my son. I gave em a good whooping once he got home.

I have friends that stretch boundaries. Most of them can’t deal with music like this. I still keep them in my heart when I hear this song.

every time i see this,
i have tears in my eyes, shouting out "where are my friends tonight" and jumping around like a lunatic
The emotional energy in this video totally overwhelmed me. Really hope I will see these guys live someday

How wonderful to see everyone actually being there - engaged and dancing - rather than filming it on their phones to watch later.
One of my all time favourites. And I am old enough to remember 'setting my controls for the heart of the sun' way back when. One of the ways I am showing my age.
I saw them last month for the first time. Listening to this song fills me with tears almost every time I listen to it.
This song summed up, without even trying, my first 10 years as a callow self-centered ambitious “artist” in Los Angeles. I didn’t even hear it until I’d left. Genius.
fantastic! i didnt see them 10 years, but this is the reason we come together again !
What an absolutely iconic performance and moment in time.
There is no song I've ever heard that captures "Growing Up" like this one.
The man in the front at 6:50 gave me fucking chills...
+Ryan Flood Right, I love how the camera pans lower to get him in the shot. The camera man was like, "Oh shit, we're going to want to have this guy on the final cut".
hands down
true that!
Totally agree.
fck u dood
This video legit chokes me up, what an amazing band and an amazing song.
Just realized he's singing to himself.
Discovered lcd on SNL. The two songs they did there were great but this song "All My Friends" is truly wonderful. It's self-realization that hits home hard. Very well shot video of a live band that picks up the intense energy that they protray that propels itself into the audience. I agree with Christian Schmitz.
Okay i just finished jamming to this, repeating the final part three times in a row...This song is pure jam energy if u key in well!
This gives me chills.
What a track!!! Goosebumps quality! We’re all friends tonight!!!!!
Great Song and Great Gig and Performance ever from LCD soundsystem...fantastic!!
The greatest version of one of the greatest songs of the 21st century
Best comments on a music video I've ever read. Well done people! Btw this is the first time I've heard a song, vaguely remember hearing the band name at some point long ago... The kind of music that probably creeps up on you without knowing it and suddenly you can't live without it, as opposed to a catchy tune you instantly think yeah awesome love it... The ones that gets worse every time you hear em you know? This kind of music, unique if nothing else, thank God for for music like this even if i never hear another song from these guys. They've got my respect though I'll tell you that.
This song gives me goosebumps and makes me feel so much. ❤❤❤
i cannot begin to tell you how jealous i am of everyone in that audience who heard this performance. i would have bawled my eyes out
I weep every time I hear this tune, especially this version. Thank you mr Kermit.
No one makes music as good as this anymore.
I HEARD THIS SONG A LONG TIME AGO AND NEVER REMEMBERED WHAT IT WAS CALLED!! Glad I found it. I get the Joy Division feel
soundtrack of my life
They closed with this when I seen them in the summer in the Netherlands and it was the best musical moment of my 40+ years on this planet.
6:57 - That guy in the middle with the hat - You can tell he feels the music in the fucking CORE of his being. Be that guy
There's nothing better than listening to this still!🎉
Saw them halloween night 2017 at an outdoor venue. Cold af and monsoon rains but still the best show of my LIFE!!
I cannot think about a more under appreciated band
Someone’s never heard of B4-4
so underappreciated that they're consistently one of the hardest acts to get tickets for and they sold out Madison Square Garden.
is it just me? this reminds me so much of new order. even the bass player tries to look like peter hook. ;) however, this is the best live video i've ever seen in my life.
There's definitely some NO influence.
Yeah it does sound like early New Order. I think it sounds a lot like Joy Division even more than New Order.
That asshole on bass has the same name as me. His bullshit gets added to my IMDB page all the time.
Ha! See my comment. Concur...kinda.
They closed their set at Forecastle in Louisville on 7/15 with this incredible song. The whole place was just jumping and dancing and on fire! Terrific band to see live. The crowd was so good that they came out and did an encore ... at a festival.
Lost track of my friends that evening. Picked a spot and talked with some folks down from Chicago and then danced like mad. Especially during this song.
I can listen to this all day...
"the youth is wasted on the young"- Oscar Wilde
i still think the best part is when the camera pans to the crowd no ones taking videos on their phones. the fans that lcd had says so much about the band
Don Henley would certainly approve!
Also cause it was 2010.
Anthony Cardenas i
Theres a full or fool tape of tape of this concert from a smartphone on youtube. This dude recorded the whole show and i have give anything to be in this epic performance
@@buenafro jeez, you also have to consider that he knew this would be filmed professionally
Put on the Pluto streaming channel last night, tuned to Documentaries, there was this one playing called "Shut up and Play the Hits'. Hmmm, what's that? I tried it out. Never heard of LCD Soundsystem before. I stumbled right into this exact song and video moment playing. I was drawn in and watched it all the way, and have listened to this song live and original many, many times since last night. That's how it starts. Sometimes the truth finds you. I feel lucky.
Live version of this masterpiece , is a different animal. Crowd is as much a part of it as melody ,lyrics and instrumentals. TURN IT UP,
ALL THE WAY!!!! GET LOST IN
PURE POWER!!!!.
Look at that crowd.... Would have loved to have been in there, I would've gone very light-headed at the end belting out the final verse! Haha Amazing song, brilliant that this has been captured on video. Just brilliant.
That's how it starts
We go back to your house
You check the charts
And start to figure it out
And if it's crowded, all the better
Because we know we're gonna be up late
But if you're worried about the weather
Then you picked the wrong place to stay
That's how it starts
And so it starts
You switch the engine on
We set controls for the heart of the sun
One of the ways we show our age
And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up
And I still don't wanna stagger home
Then it's the memory of our betters
That are keeping us on our feet
You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan
And the next five years trying to be with your friends again
Oh, you're talking forty-five turns just as fast as you can
Yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend
It comes apart
The way it does in bad films
Except in parts
When the moral kicks in
Though when we're running out of the drugs
And the conversation's winding away
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision
For another five years of life
Oh, you drop the first ten years just as fast as you can
And the next ten people who are trying to be polite
When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France
Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight?
And to tell the truth
Oh, this could be the last time
So here we go
Like a sales force into the night
And if I made a fool, if I made a fool
If I made a fool on the road, there's always this
And if I'm sewn into submission
I can still come home to this
And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand
You can sleep on the plane or review what you said
When you're drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks
You think over and over, "hey, I'm finally dead"
Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand
You look contorted on yourself your ridiculous prop
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said
And you always knew you were tired, but then
Where are your friends tonight?
Where are your friends tonight?
Where are your friends tonight?
If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
Unbeatable! Where the f.. Are my friends tonight! Missing those young glory days
This is life - it's amazing
this is beyond freaking beautiful! I cant wait for Coachella!
I wouldn't trade stupid decision for another five years of life :)
five years on they are back :D long live LCD
I hope to see them this year, I want to live something like this.
one of my all time favorites. it feels like all the fuzzy emotions of being dumb and careless in high school/college. type of song that makes you feel young
Whoever played that piano needs a raise! That requires astonishing stamina.
Are you old enough to remember "THE SPARKS!".. weird bloke with tach had the same skill.. it sounds easy..but just try tapping along.. fkn hard man... top tune though in it... song by james..sometimes same buut guitar.. track basically built on 2 chourds...simple things in life
This band, this song, this show ... "I was there" in the pit right in front of James, we tried to hold the rail but lost it during Movement and wound up a few people back. 11 years later, LCD is back ... but watching this again still gives me feels. Later during Yeah, Aziz crowdsurfed (my buddy gave him the boost). I was sore for days after dancing for 3 hours to this.
i can still come home to this.
Yeah, I was watching TV late last night and this band got all my attention, great song.
I’m in Vermont. At my cabin; my (most) wonderful girl is sleeping up stairs. She partied a bit too hard, it’s a nap of sorts. I have listened to LCD for 20yrs. This song just hit me so hard ..harder than the rain outside. Whoa. I’m a bit teary. See all you guys in Boston.
I wish I had moments like this and friends to be there with
How did I miss this group and that song, especially for so many years, was I living in a cave?
You missed the best part of the video with the subtitles. When Murphy sings the "To tell the truth/This could be the last time" after the bridge at around 5:20, he replaces the line with "This *will* be the last time" because well, it's the last concert. That's the reason why the audience starts cheering after that.
ágætis byrjun and to think, I saw them live last night
nice username tho
