The War On Drugs: LIVE DRUGS (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP The War On Drugs

“LIVE DRUGS is a collection culled from over 40 hard drives of recorded live shows spread out across years of touring behind multiple albums. It’s the first volume to capture the band’s live interpretations and a document showcasing the evolution of the band’s live show over the years. It’s also a portrait of the enduring relationship between Adam Granduciel and LIVE DRUGS’s co-producer Dominic East, a longtime friend, guitar tech and stage manager. LIVE DRUGS is sequenced to reflect how a typical 70-minute show would flow. It thrives on live set staples immortalized on record for the first time and illustrates how years of live performance nurtures an evolution of the songs. This includes ‘Buenos Aires Beach’ from the band’s 2008 full-length debut, Wagonwheel Blues, and a cover of Warren Zevon’s ‘Accidentally like a Martyr.’ An early live version of A Deeper Understanding’s ‘Strangest Thing’ feels joyfully loose; Granduciel fell in love with this version while going through the recordings with mental notes of memorable shows. Now finally captured, these live iterations of the songs feel recontextualized, and subsequently less precious.” – Super High Quality

“It feels like it’s kind of a reset, to be able to put something out that’s a really good interpretation of the way we interpret our music live. Even though this recording is from a year of tours, this is really how these six guys evolved as a band from 2014 to 2019.” – Adam Granduciel
