The War on Drugs (Band)

Tiny Desk (home) Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKJ5JyuP7WY

[Arby]

I like the capo on the desk joke

[AlpineValley804]

I think Change is currently my favorite tune off the new album, with Harmonia's Dream coming in at a close second.

[TheLastStop123]

Got this on repeat, listen to it every day.

Favorite moments:

Last chorus and outro of I don’t wanna wait
When the drums come in on “Old Skin” and then the final chorus
The entirety of harmonia’s dream
The entirety of Victim
The outro to occasional rain

Just another amazing WOD album with so many new classic song moments

[Arby]

After a few listens, I Dont Wanna Wait is still top spot for me. Really great tune. Change might be number 2

New 4 song live set from their studio/jam space

If you have a chance to see these guys, just go do it. Show in Denver last night was incredible. The band is on fire.

[Dave G]

I really thought I was going miss seeing this band for this tour. But I picked up some tickets to see them for the added show in New Haven yesterday.
Add this to the Sound on the Sound Festival, Sept in shaping up nicely

[DJM5101]

Like Speilmen said, if you get a chance to see the band this tour, do it. I caught Philly N2 a few weeks ago and I still can't stop thinking about the show. They are in peak form right now, and from what I'm reading only getting better as the tour go on.

[RAPUNZEL13]

I can’t believe they are coming to Florida. Can’t wait for October.

[DJM5101]

Been thinking about pulling the trigger on Red Rocks. It would be a long trip for me but I could combine the show into some other CO adventures.

In that short amount of time that I was unsure if they were playing on the same date as the Sound on the Sound festival, I knew that it didn't matter.
I was going to this show

[mja271]

I knew a few songs from these guys and bought the Live Drugs vinyl on a whim at the record store about a year ago and was blown away. Been a big fan since. Was pretty stoked to see they added a New Haven date in the fall.

[DJM5101]

The amount of shows they are playing this year is impressive. A hard working band!

[WidespreadMule3]

Searching for a Nashville ticket if anyone is looking to unload one.

[AlpineValley804]

Absolutely incredible show last night at the Ryman. Not a weak spot in the entire set, but the major highlights for me were Harmonia’s Dream, Victim, and Come to the City. The former two tunes just have an incredible translation to the live setting - Harmonia I believe was played for at least 10 minutes. Come to the City is one of my favorite tunes off Slave Ambient and I was totally not expecting it at all (I haven’t been paying attention to the sets so no idea if it’s been in the regular rotation this tour). Plus a three song encore of Ocean Between the Waves, Thinking of a Place and Ocean of Darkness - Darkness was unplanned and played by audience request.

I agree with whoever said a while back about the reports of the band being in peak form right now. This was my third time seeing them live and I think it was unquestionably the best of the three - which is no shade to the previous two shows I attended. They were just that good last night. Adam’s shredding was on another level and his vocals were at the top of his game.

They're here on Monday, June 13th and I really want to go but I don't think we can swing it. We got a lot of shit going on that weekend before.

Make it happen, captain. You won't regret it.

I will be there!

[WidespreadMule3]

Saw them last night for the first time. Phenomenal show. Can't wait to see them 2x more this tour. Thinking about cancelling another show so I can see them a fourth time.

Under the Pressure is such a rage live.

Didn't love being under the balcony but still glad to be in the room.

Was it also your first show at The Ryman? Those pillars/support beams are a total pain in the ass, and I imagine if you're back far enough, the balcony itself could cut the view a bit too.

Glad you had a great time though! Which act are you considering cancelling on for a fourth WOD show?

No I've been several times. It was the only seat I could get. Like a fool, I bought back in March instead of waiting closer to the event.

I've decided to skip MMJ at Huntsville to see WOD when they come to Memphis. I've got enough travel on my schedule this year so I'm gonna do a hometown show and take my wife to see them.

Man, that new Huntsville venue is incredible. Glad to have it in Alabama.

Glad there is a thread for this band! I Don't Live Here Anymore came across one of my playlists that had ventured into random music territory and I was hooked.

I'm hoping I get a chance to see them live soon. I'd love to see them on this tour as I love the new album.

It feels like they're going everywhere behind this tour. I feel like I've seen them on every festival lineup and adding stops in every city. I think they're playing like 4x in TN alone.

Everywhere but Texas

[TheLastStop123]

seeing them tonight, super pumped! I see Lo Moon is opening - anyone see them and are they any good? I remember loving their single "Loveless" a number of years ago but haven't really listened to anything else by them.

[Speilmen230]

Have a great time, TLS! I am not familiar with Lo Moon.
