LCD Soundsystem
My first visit to The Fillmore was to see LCD Soundsystem rock the house. A word about my first impression of The Fillmore, what popped into my head was ‘channeled energy’. To think of all of the amazing people who have played there, to see their beautiful pictures on the wall, just made the place feel different. The barrell of famous apples up front and the relatively inexpensive drink prices compared to other venues here also made me fall in love.
LCD was great, too. The screen behind them was a live video feed with special effects added, which I thought was kinda new and different. I was also suprised that they sounded as good there as they do recorded, which is sometimes a problem with electronic bands. The singer is also very non-typical, as in he doesn’t look like you’d expect him to look for some reason. It was fun.
