dawhizz Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Vinyl live version of what is, I feel confident saying, their least popular album. Limited bone-colored webstore exclusive available below. I grabbed it because it's personally my favorite Decemberists album, though I recognize that is not a widely held opinion and I can't imagine this sells all that well, especially since it's literally just The Hazards of Love. Might have been better to include at least some of the second set/encore (or at least "Crazy on You"). https://decemberistsshop.com/dept/music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentuckyShark Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 While it’s not my favorite album of theirs, it was the last album they did that I really liked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Guess I'm a weirdo. I love this album the most. The concept is fun, the vocals (from the two women) are fantastic, and I saw them play it on Sept. 26, 2009 at my first Decemberists show with my (now) wife. Kind of a big deal. Agree that Crazy On You would have been a fun D-side over etching, but w/e. I also grabbed a tee, and dropped $70 unexpectedly, on a Thursday.

Derek™ Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just dropping in to say that I don't listen to The Decemberists all that much anymore, but back when I did, THOL was the album I gravitated to the most. Easily. Really fun record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdesign Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 That's a great sounding venue. I'm interested in hearing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilderoy Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hazards is probably my favorite Decemberists record. I got to see them twice during that tour, and it was magical. This was an instant purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar11 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 agreed with the above: this is my absolute favorite Decemberists album. I'll hold off on getting this as well. pretty sure I can get it later on for a few bucks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickker Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I first saw The Decemberists do the Hazards Of Love songs live with Shara Worden at Lollapalooza 2009 and was blown away. I had to experience it again. My local show, the Royal Oak Theatre gig on August 11th (this recording) was already sold out so I ended up going back to Chicago to catch them on October 8th of 2009. Yeah, I'll be grabbing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Probably my favorite as well, I think seeing it live cemented that opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I've seen them 8 times, and Hazards of Love was the best show by far. Gilderoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas1985 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I have never understood why The Hazards of Love doesn’t get more attention with regard to their back catalog. I saw this tour in Indianapolis and still feel it is one of my top 3 favorite shows of all time. Also probably my favorite Decemberists album due to seeing it live. Instant purchase for me.

ejc625 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 What was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas1985 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 2 hours ago, ejc625 said: What was it? It was a signed copy of Colin’s new (middle aged reader, I think?) book and a black and grey marbled LP of “instrumental music to accompany your reading of said book.” Was $50, stated was “extremely limited.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
