In February of 2011, record-label owner/music producer/John C. Reilly sound-alike James Murphy announced the end of LCD Soundsystem, the critically lauded and fairly popular band that he had fronted for the better part of a decade, and that they would play their final concert on April 2 at Madison Square Gardens. The event was a spectacular final bow for the band and was recorded by film-makers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace (who also made the excellent Blur documentary No Distance Left to Run), who include some of the performances in their documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits. Rather than being a straight concert movie (though the full concert is being released as a separate work), the film doubles as a requiem, contrasting the glittering excitement of the final show with Murphy's pre- and post-gig anxiety over calling time on something that has been such a huge part of his life.
