The War On Drugs Live Drugs 2LP (Vinyl)

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 Drugs' catalog.

The first volume to capture the band's live interpretations, LIVE DRUGS is a document showcasing the evolution of the band's live show over the years. It's also a portrait of the enduring relationship between Granduciel and LIVE DRUGS's co-producer Dominic East, a longtime friend, guitar tech and stage manager.

Sequenced to reflect how a typical 70-minute show would flow, LIVE DRUGS thrives on live set staples immortalized on record for the first time. This includes "Buenos Aires Beach" from the band's 2008 full-length debut, Wagonwheel Blues, and the longtime musical interlude flowing between "Under The Pressure" and "In Reverse" - which bookend 2014's Lost In The Dream. There's also the band's essential cover of Warren Zevon's "Accidentally Like A Martyr".

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
