,: Culled from over 40 hard drives of recorded live shows spread :,
: out across years of touring behind multiple critically acclaimed :
:' records, LIVE DRUGS is unlike anything previously available in ':
,: The War on DrugsÆ catalog. :,
: :
:' The first volume to capture the bandÆs live interpretations, ':
,: LIVE DRUGS is a document showcasing the evolution of the bandÆs :,
: live show over the years. Additionally, LIVE DRUGS is a portrait :
:' of the enduring relationship between Adam Granduciel and ':
,: Dominic East. A longtime friend, guitar tech and stage manager, :,
: East is LIVE DRUGSÆs co-producer and the presence Granduciel :
:' credits as holding everything together. ':
,: :,
: Work on LIVE DRUGS began in late 2018, then fell by the wayside :
:' until this past March, when Granduciel stumbled upon the mixes ':
,: in a Dropbox folder. Inspired to finally finish with fresh ears, :,
: Granduciel and East poured through the vaults of live :
:' multi-tracks, sending final selections for mixing to Jonathan ':
,: Low at Aaron DessnerÆs Long Pond Studio. :,
: :
:' Sequenced to reflect how a typical 70-minute set would flow, ':
,: LIVE DRUGS thrives on live set staples immortalized on record :,
: for the first time. This includes ôBuenos Aires Beachö from the :
:' bandÆs 2008 full-length debut, Wagonwheel Blues, and the ':
,: longtime musical interlude flowing between ôUnder the Pressureö :,
: and ôIn Reverseö - which bookend 2014Æs Lost In The Dream. :
:' ThereÆs also the band's essential cover of Warren ZevonÆs ':
,: ôAccidentally like a Martyrö û a song ôso true, you should ever :,
: be lucky to write a song that simple,ö Granduciel says. :
:' ':
,: Also important to Granduciel was showing how years of live :,
: performance nurtures an evolution of the songs. For example, an :
:' early live version of ôStrangest Thing,ö off 2017Æs A Deeper ':
,: Understanding, feels joyfully loose; Granduciel fell in love :,
: with this early version while going through the recordings with :
:' mental notes of memorable shows. On the last five minutes of ':
,: the live favorite, ôUnder the Pressure,ö a crowd of 20,000 :,
: people are heard singing along to the extended guitar melody. Or :
:' take ôEyes to the Wind,ö the version heard here has grown ':
,: wholly independent of the version found on Lost in the Dream. :,
: :
:' ôAs a band leader, I always want to know where a song can go,ö ':
,: Granduciel explains. ôEven though weÆve recorded it, mastered :,
: it, put it out, and been touring on it, it doesnÆt mean that we :
:' just have to do it the same way forever, for the rest of our ':
,: lives.ö And in that way, LIVE DRUGS is a freeing moment for the :,
: band. Now finally captured, these live iterations of the songs :
:' feel recontextualized, and subsequently less precious. ':
,: :,
: ôIt puts a nice exclamation point on our touring because weÆve :
:' memorialized the performances in a way,ö Granduciel says. ôIt ':
,: feels like itÆs kind of a reset, to be able to put something out :,
: thatÆs a really good interpretation of the way we interpret our :
:' music live. ThereÆs something cathartic about having all of it ':
,: printed on a record. 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.ö ':
