Shut Up And Play The Hits A Front Row Seat at LCD Soundsystem's Final Concert
On April 2nd, 2011, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career.
The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with New York Magazine calling the event "a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again." SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is simultaneously a document of a once-in-a-lifetime performance and an intimate portrait of Murphy as he navigates both the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.
Official Selection at Sundance Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival
"...This isn't just a film about LCD Soundsystem. It's for anyone who's woken up feeling older than yesterday, and questioned what they're doing with their lives...the human condition never sounded so good." - NME

Genuinely this is one of the best concert films ever released, it's really a blessing to have seen such an iconic concert being documented in a way that foreshadows the bands eventual return in the near future.
