Hello! (The rain's actually hesitant.) I've got a ticket for Boy Golden, at Neat, so I'll be hearing the back end of your show in the car, until the signal hisses and buzzes.

Benoît
WEAKERTHANS!!!

Benoît there's a concert DVD along with the CD of the live Weakerthans... might be the same?

6:33 PM, May 11th, 2024
Benoît
Yes, I think it may be the same; it was the DVD (of course) that I saw on youtube, and that One Great City you played sounded like the audio from the vid.
