Cowboy Junkies - Long Journey Home [2 DVDs] - Rough Trade

"Live In Liverpool"

The Long Journey Home Tour was in support of One Sopul Now, our ninth studio album. Like the many tours that had come before it, it was an ardous, exhilarating, numbing, inspiring, exhausting, reaffirming, lonely, uplifting journey. It carried us along uncounted miles of highways and across untold leagues of oceans. It brought us eye-to-eye with some familiar faces and with many new, welcome ones. It deposited us in both familiar and unfamiliar cities and towns across Europe and North America. It brought us to venues that we had never before seen, to venues that we have had a long, cherish relationship with and to a few... well, not so cherished... until, very near the end of the journey and very far from home, it brought us to a place, which for musicians of our generation, holds special significance: Liverpool.
This DVD documents a special show in a special city. On this night we dug deep into our back catalogue and brought forward a handful of songs from our celebrated earlier albums. We touched on some personal favourites, played some songs from our recent catalogue and filled out the show with a few unrecorded covers and a long free-form jam of Robert Johnson's 32:20. Then we turmed the cameras off, packed up our equipment and continued our long journey home.
