Dead Weather Detail First Live LP, Concert Film
The Dead Weather will release their 2009 concert at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles as a live album and concert film for Third Man Records’ Vault Package #32.
The latest installment of Third Man’s long-running series will also include the final Dodge and Burn seven-inch single, featuring “Three Dollar Hat” b/w “Lose the Right” on black and yellow vinyl. The band has released every song from their 2015 record as a seven-inch single through previous Vault Packages, and the new release will also come with a custom case to house all six 45 RPM discs.
The Dead Weather: Live at the Mayan marks the Dead Weather’s first live LP (they released an EP, Live at Third Man Records West, in 2009). Jack White’s longtime studio cohort Vance Powell mixed the live audio, while Vern Moen directed the concert film. The show took place August 26th, 2009, a little over a month after the Dead Weather released their debut album, Horehound.
The setlist boasts album favorites like “Treat Me Like Your Mother,” “I Cut Like a Buffalo” and “Hang You From the Heavens,” a snippet of which is available to preview. It also features a live version of the Dead Weather’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “New Pony,” plus renditions of Them’s “You Just Can’t Win” and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band’s “A Child of a Few Hours Is Burning to Death,” both of which were released as Horehound b-sides.
Live at the Mayan will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl and the concert film will arrive on DVD. The Vault Package will also come with a reproduction screen print of Methane Studios’ original poster for the 2009 gig.
Fans can sign-up for the Vault Package #32 via the Third Man website. The subscription deadline is April 30th.
