The Weakerthans - Live At The Burton Cummings Theatre CD/DVD


The Weakerthans Live at the Burton Cummings Theatre CD/DVD offers a jubilant testament to the Winnipeg band's considerable creative powers as both literary minded songwriters and charismatic live performers. The live DVD was recorded in April of 2009 as the band toured in support of their album Reunion Tour with an expanded line-up featuring trumpet, violin and female vocals, playing songs from all four acclaimed releases in front of an adoring and enthusiastic hometown crowd. Even the DVD-CD's artwork is a painting by bassist Greg Smith, one of several pieces inspired while on the April tour. From the songs to the live performance to the visual presentation, all in all, the DVD-CD captures moments in time. A musical experience shared by a band and their fans.
