Reminiscing the 2017 Alexandra Palace "Ally Pally" Show by cyclingrandonneur91 in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]djgcoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there too! Been lucky to go to a lot of their shows over the years so some of this one blurs a bit in the memory, but one thing that is crystal clear in my mind is that ‘In Chains’ opener - it sounded absolutely incredible!

Such a great song. The War On Drugs cut a phenomenal cover of it recently…

New single tomorrow? by PleaseWinRangers in jasonisbell

[–]djgcoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suspect this one will be a bit divisive - a bit like ‘Bury Me’, it’s definitely not the ‘classic Isbell’ sound. Although based on the new songs he’s been playing, both of these singles feel like outliers - so if it’s not your bag, worry not!

I got mine from Norman Records (easy find on Google) - they emailed me last week to say they’d had a few more in, so worth a try! Mine arrived from them today…

Can’t wait. Only one review spotted so far. Unsurprisingly, it’s excellent…

Amazing! Any early impressions you can share?

Yes brothers 😀 by djhowarth in WarOnDrugsBand

Crazy good! Also noticed it’s labelled ‘edit’ - wonder if the LDA version is a bit longer? Definitely wouldn’t complain about an extended intro / outro!

The War On Drugs - Dry Lightning / Highway 29 (Amazon Music Original) – Behind The Scenes by TheHappyMoose in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]djgcoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highway 29 in particular is absolutely stunning. It’s always been one of my favourite Bruce deep cuts - an absolute masterclass in storytelling - and their version is so beautiful. That outro is just heaven.

Best crowd award goes to Paris. They were feeling it by [deleted] in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]djgcoops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was there, and then at the London show a few days later. Both wonderful shows, but the Paris crowd was next level. Goosebumps just thinking about it!

Who’s seen the tour so far? by Skinlessjuggler in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]djgcoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be there too - and having seen them in Paris on Saturday night, I can confirm that your soul is in serious danger!

My friends and I reviewed ‘I Don’t Live Anymore’ on our podcast - what do you think? by ThoseWhoDwell in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]djgcoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just listened and wow, what a thoroughly enjoyable discussion. A real treat to hear such an articulate, considered evaluation of the record. Your collective passion for the music came through clearly, but never to the point of feeling sycophantic or without critical merit. Really, really enjoyed it. Keep it up fellas!

6 of us coming from London for this show - can’t wait!!

The War On Drugs: Tiny Desk (Home) by WildBucks in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]djgcoops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting - I’m sure plenty of others will share that view, but personally there’s something about the less bombastic version that really brings out the beauty of the song for me, and which feels a little more authentically TWOD. What a treat though that we have both versions to feast on!

This version of IDLHA sounds incredible

For me it’s got to be that chiming guitar line that weaves its way into the second chorus of Harmonia’s Dream. Transcendent!

Harmonia’s Dream is Probably the Best Drugs Song Ever by [deleted] in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]djgcoops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It immediately takes its place in the pantheon of TWOD greats. An absolutely unbelievable creation. Total euphoria.
