LAist had a chance to see the Chemical Brothers at the debut of their US tour at the sold-out Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC last night. It's their first headlining appearance in the US in over 5 years and they brought it, full on. They will be headlining the Nocturnal Festival a week from today and there's plenty of other folks to see there as well, but really, the Brothers alone justify attendance.
Here's a photo essay for your ass, vid clips too:
The video's choppy but bear with it, it was hoppin':
[More pics and vids after the jump...]
This is the Hacienda crew from LA, they're on the whole tour doing t-shirts at the show as well as filming a documentary of the tour, very nice fellows to boot:
Incredible graphics:

I loved this graphics sequence since I have this same robot on my desk at work:
If you missed Daft Punk on their pass through LA a month or so ago, you won't want to miss the Chemical Brothers.

actually the chems played the US back in 2005- opened for new order in san fran then at coachella the very next day.
still great a show!
actually i think the article mentioned that it was the first show they've headlined in 5 years - which they were not at either of the two shows you mention.
nonetheless, always a good show! (and great shots)
