LCD Soundsystem Pays Tribute To David Bowie At Coachella

The newly reunited LCD Soundsystem headlined the action at the first day of this year’s Coachella festival last night in Indio, California. James Murphy & Co. stuck to a similar script as they did at three warm-up shows over the past few weeks with a few notable exceptions.

All told, LCD Soundsystem played 15 songs on Friday night including five from their 2005 debut album and four a piece from 2007’s Sound Of Silver and 2010’s This Is Happening. The group honored fellow Coachella headliners and another recently reunited band by throwing a snippet of Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain” within their own “New York I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down.” Watch fan-shot footage of “New York I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down” with the bit of “November Rain” starting at the 6:15 mark:

Later in the set, LCD Soundsystem paid tribute to the late great David Bowie with a cover of “Heroes” before closing their performance with “All My Friends.” James Murphy had collaborated a handful of times with Bowie over the last few years of the legendary rockers career. Watch a few clips of “Heroes” that have surfaced thus far.
