Shut Up And Give Us The Whole Show: James Murphy Prepped Music-Only Version of LCD Soundsystem Finale

Tomorrow’s the day we’ll finally get to see Shut Up And Play The Hits, a documentary about LCD Soundsystem’s “final show.”  The movie, created by filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, will play in theaters across the country for one night only. More than a straight concert film, Shut Up And Play The Hits will profile the band’s front man James Murphy, and his decision to end the band’s career with a big blow out at NYC’s Madison Square Garden in April of 2011.

James recently discussed the film with Huffington Post and within the article is a tidbit of information that got us extremely excited: Murphy “helped cut a 3 1/2 hr., music-only version of the film” which likely contains the whole epic concert. So while Shut Up And Play The Hits does feature the band playing songs in its entirety, it spends plenty of time profiling Murphy in the days before, day of and days after the big show. Thankfully we should eventually get the best of both worlds when SUAPTH and the MSG show in its entirety make it onto DVD/Blu-Ray. The process wasn’t easy as Murphy told HuffPo, “Making a movie takes forever. Making two movies takes double forever.” No word yet on when we can expect to see the music-only version, but we’ll be on the lookout and let you know when we hear anything definitive.
