LCD Soundsystem singer James Murphy paused two songs into the band’s set at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday to welcome the crowd to the second of two nights at the historic amphitheater.

“Oh, hi, hello, everyone,” Murphy said at the finish of “Tonite.” “This is a very special night – we like this venue very much; we’ve played here a lot.”

Normally, he continued, the band prefers to play places without seats, the better for fans to dance to LCD Soundsystem ‘s relentless dance-rock grooves. But at the Bowl, people rose from the box seats and benches anyway to get their groove on all night long.
