Death From Above 1979 Detail Live Album Recorded at Third Man, Share "Right on Frankenstein": Listen

Last July, Death From Above 1979 performed a live session at Jack White’s Third Man Records headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. The show was recorded direct-to-acetate, and the subsequent live album is finally being released this Friday. You can hear a track, “Right on Frankenstein,” above. In a press release, the band told the story of the recording, which involves a late-night bowling trip with White and Mick Jagger. Read it in full below.

We’ve always been wary of live recording experiences because they can end up so sterile and flat sounding and they hardly ever translate the feeling of the actual show. The feeling of the moment. When we were asked to record Live At Third Man Records we agreed without hesitation. If there is one person who knows about feeling the moment, it’s Jack White. He’s the patron saint of vibes. We cut two twenty minute long sets straight to acetate. No second chances. Terrifying but alive. Third Man were such phenomenal hosts and the audience went bananas with us. It was such an honour to be a part of. The whole thing was such a rush, it almost feels like a dream.

Oh yeah, Mick Jagger was there. Did we mention that we went out to dinner with Jack and Mick after and then went bowling until 3am? It’s also worth noting that Jack got the highest score followed by Sebastien. Mick and Jesse tied.
