Thank you for putting together performance of this unique accomplishment of rock music. Why this was never turned into a high quality DVD is beyond me. As things stand, it is a lost moment in time and given today’s state of popular music (2023) it is quite possible we will not see accomplishment of this magnitude for another generation.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: This album is easily the greatest Rock Opera ever made. It's beautiful, it's poetic, it's full of love and terror and hope, and it's musically cohesive. I will agree that there are other great concept albums out there, but this one is my favorite, for sure.
First, thank you for this. Second, thanks for explaining exactly what you did - because this looks legit at first sight. And now I guess we just sit back and watch Shara Nova being an actual queen.
I saw them live with this album in 2009. It was the first time I had seen them, they had both Shara Warden and Becky Stark with them. They played the whole album straight through and then came back out and played some classics. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen! I'll never forget it. The live version of The Rake Song is so incredible to see.
Unfortunately I didn't see The Decemberists live between Crane Wife and The King is Dead, and I've always wondered what a Hazards of Love show would've looked like all the way through. This is an AMAZING "stich" of live audio with live footage. Info about this video needs spread! I know there are thousands and thousands of die hard Decemberists fans like me that would absolutely love this!! Great work.
Outstanding job! Man, if the Decemberists put out more records like this, they'd be one of my favorite bands! This record, though, IS a favorite record.
The opening strains of organ bring back the gooseflesh all over again. So sad that it wasn't professionally filmed, but the stitching is great. It was even better than seeing The Tain performed with orchestra on Chicago's lakefront. Stunning...
Thank you so much for creating and sharing! I had the great fortunate of seeing The Decemberists play the full Hazards of Love album May 19, 2009 at the Hollywood Palladium. It was the greatest live performance I have ever witnessed. Still gives me chills to hear this album.
You have made me so happy to find this video. I wanted just to listen to it for a few minutes and I couldn't move until the video was over. Just to say I really appreciate not only the work and love that obviously you have put on this, but the talent to get such a respectful and wonderful result. Thank you, gracias!
Thanks so much for doing this. When they toured this album they were due to perform in Bristol UK. Unfortunately the night before in Wolverhampton, they were struck down with illness and couldn't perform for us. By the time they returned, they had a new album to promote and we never saw the Hazards of Love performed live. Until now - thanks again ! Never did find out the true story of what happened in Wolverhampton .......
What a great effort, awesome stuff! I am wondering though, what was the reason for not using the audio from this: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101397853 The superior audio from the August 2009 performance?
From the NPR source you linked the audio quality was way to low. The Decemberists' official release (that I used) was of beautiful quality and perfect for my purposes.

At least one of these performances was pro-shot so I expect an official release some where down the road. When? Who the hell knows.

Agreed.
Truth.
people say all sorts of things that are based on nothing at all and are by general consensus pure nonsense.
Completely agree. I describe it to my friends as the best soundtrack to the best musical never made.
@@talthan opinion isn't based on nothing.
24:00 she just absolutely wins.
Miss Universe for sure!

My dream is to make a film adaptation of this. An animation in the style of the artist Yoshitaka Amano. That would be so cool.

Rock on.
A Bower Scene is just so fucking good. Man o live.
you are a blessing to this world, The Decemberists
This is incredible, Ryan! It makes me so happy to find, what a remarkable contribution, Thank you!
One of the best albums ever and I'm a child of the sixties..the poetry and emotion transports me to another world..fantastic audio..
Great to hear the pro sound tracks synced with the gritty amateur video. We need more.
Funk used to work at a store where I bought my guitar strings.....bought a guitar from him....

This was made with such care and dedication. Thank you, truly!
Such An Incredible set, you are more than beautiful, pure perfection, you make me want to weep and love all at the same time .
This is absolutely stunning!! My favourite Decemberists album like I‘ve never seen it before. Thank you for all your efforts.
Outstanding job! Man, if the Decemberists put out more records like this, they'd be one of my favorite bands!
This record, though, IS a favorite record.
Thanks, man. Fantastic album indeed.
For me it was the opposite this album always annoyed me for some reason- until I sat down and listened to the whole thing. Decemberists > Pink Floyd
I imagine this must have taken many hours of painstaking work, and it shows. Thanks for this; it's great!

'The Tain' live would be awesome. Was that on their "Long of It" tour? I think I have a bootleg of that.

I saw them in Houston the same year. Epic.
