The Decemberists (including @lavenderdiamond and @mybrightestdiamond), standing amid the ivy in Forest Park on a particularly wet and cloudy day. This group of seven, fuelled by kombucha and bourbon, would go on to storm dozens of mid- to large-sized venues across greater North America and parts of the UK and Europe, playing our new record, “The Hazards of Love”, in its entirety. We recorded many of the shows. One such show distinguished itself among the many, partly because of the inspiring level of performance and partly because we made the fewest mistakes. We’ve released it as the first volume of our live series, “Live Home Library”. Those of you who pre-ordered, back in October or whenever, should be getting your copies imminently if you haven’t already. Thank you for you patience.
The Hazards of Love tour was my absolute favourite live performance ever. so glad to have a live recording now.
