The Dead Weather are preparing to release a new live record of their 2009 performance at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles.
Hot on the heels of the release of their debut album “Horehound“, The Dead Weather played an absolutely incendiary set at the legendary Mayan Theater in Los Angeles on August 26th, 2009. This fiery performance captures the band at their most feral and raw, firing on all cylinders, full of broken glass, black leather and strobe lights. For YEARS this show has been whispered about as one of the best shows the band has ever played, so now felt a better time than ever to release this performance into the world. Featuring audio expertly mixed by Grammy Award-winner Vance Powell, the immersive concert film The Dead Weather: Live at the Mayan directed by Vern Moen is revelatory. The band’s signature gems like “Hang You From the Heavens” and “Treat Me Like Your Mother” sit pretty with explosive non-album B-sides like “You Just Can’t Win” (originally by Them) and “A Child of a Few Hours is Burning to Death” (originally by the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band). The companion audio of Live at the Mayan marks the first-ever live LP from The Dead Weather’s first year and serves as a blistering reminder as to why this band still matters. Your stereo will thank you…your neighbors, maybe not so much.
Coupled with the LP/DVD of the Mayan performance is the final 7” 45rpm installment from the “Dodge and Burn” album. As folks should remember, every song from the band’s acclaimed 2015 album was exclusively released on 7” format via the Vault. “Three Dollar Hat” b/w “Lose the Right” on beautiful black and yellow vinyl is the final piece of the puzzle. As a special treat, subscribers for Vault Package #32 will receive a deluxe box to house ALL six singles from “Dodge and Burn” Vault releases.
The album, mixed by Grammy winning Award-winner Vance Powell, will be used as part of a concert film for Third Man Records’ Vault Package #32 having been directed by Vern Moen.
Third Man Records, owned by Jack White himself, will release the record via the label’s subscription service and titled ‘The Dead Weather: Live at the Mayan‘ , according to the press release.
The setlist withholds fan favourites like ‘Treat Me Like Your Mother’, ‘I Cut Like a Buffalo’ and ‘Hang You From the Heavens’:
