The Last Dinner Party marked their two-show run at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom with a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down’.
The 2007 classic came as the first of a three-song encore from the English rock outfit, witnessed by the Hammerstein crowd on Saturday (April 25). You can catch footage of the performance, as well as the full setlist below.
The band opened with ‘Agnus Dei’ and ‘Count The Ways’, the first two tracks from their recently released album ‘From The Pyre’, with the set consisting of a mixture of tunes from that release and their 2024 debut, ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’. Surprises came in the form of unreleased songs ‘Big Dog’ and ‘Knocking At The Sky’, before they ended the main set with their 2023 debut single ‘Nothing Matters’.
As well as the LCD Soundsystem cover, The Last Dinner Party’s three-song encore featured ‘From The Pyre’ single ‘This Is the Killer Speaking’, and an ‘Agnus Dei’ reprise.
