Hanging a lantern on it: a micro-post
"You're very generous," James Murphy told the audience a few songs into the LCD Soundsystem show at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon, last night. "By which I mean that we're putting out a certain amount of energy, and you're giving us back that and more." It might have been the most gracious way I've ever seen a performer acknowledge having an off night.
Anyway, after that, things improved considerably.
